Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an aging binding band of a root pot in a plant made of a material having aging properties in soil within a certain period.

<Prior Art> Many natural rubber products having elasticity have hitherto been produced, but they have been produced mainly for the purpose of improving the number of years of use, and they are difficult to age.

<Background of the Invention> In general, root pots for plants that have been found in the market have been covered with a root wrapping member to perform root wrapping, if necessary, and a desired portion of the root pot, a band-shaped member such as a plastic tape. It was packed by bundling with, and the plants were usually shipped in this state. However, the inventors of the present invention have realized that, instead of the cord-shaped member, a ring-shaped rubber is used as a binding member in order to simplify the over-time packing.
Filed as No. 78802 (Jitsukaihei 3-18740). However, if normal rubber is used, even if the root pots of the plants are bound and planted in that state, the rubber will not age in the soil and will hinder the growth of the roots of the plants, so it is used for such purposes. In order to do so, it is necessary to use rubber that has some aging property.

<Means for Solving Problems> Under such circumstances, the present inventors have pursued an aging rubber that is especially aged and accelerated in soil and has elasticity for at least one year in a room at room temperature. As a result, the invention was finally reached. That is, the feature of the present invention is that the aging binding band of the root pot in the plant is 25
When left in soil with a water content of 0% and 10% to 20%, it loses its elasticity in 5 to 12 months, and when it is pulled it ages to a tattered state. It is mainly made of natural rubber. At the same time, it has an annular structure.

Next, the means for solving the problem will be described in more detail.

Generally, in the vicinity of the surface layer in the soil, it averages around 15%,
For example, it is said that the plant contains water of about 10 to 20%, and the aging binding band of the root pot in the plant of the present invention is, under such conditions, appropriately, specifically, When left in a state of being stretched to 250%, it means that it loses its elasticity in 5 to 12 months, preferably 6 to 10 months, and aged to the extent that it becomes tattered when pulled. Such an aging binding band is mainly composed of natural rubber, and if necessary, powdered sulfur, zinc oxide, paraffin wax,
Stearic acids, vulcanization accelerators, antioxidants, color pigments, etc. are appropriately added, and compared to known rubber bands,
Aging properties according to the present invention by appropriately adjusting the necessary amount of additives such as reducing the content of powdery sulfur and anti-aging agent that maintain rubber elasticity, and processing to satisfy the above conditions Rubber is obtained. Of course, such an additive may be used in a predetermined amount as necessary, and if it is unnecessary, it is not necessary to add it. The natural rubber is not particularly limited.

The aging binding band according to the present invention binds the root pots of the plant as a binding band, and when planted in that state, the binding band becomes elastic in about 5 to 12 months in the soil. It will be lost and will be in a tattered state, so it will not hinder the root growth of the plant.

The plants 1 referred to here include trees, saplings thereof, flowers and the like, as is generally called, and are not particularly limited.

The root pot 2 of the plant is the root portion of the plant in which soil is attached, and the main part of such a root pot is various root winding members 3 such as thighs so that the soil does not fall. It is preferably coated. At this time, as the root winding member 3, straw,
Hemp, cotton and other plant materials can also be used as packaging materials, and have some degree of corrosivity and moisture distribution,
If you use materials that do not significantly hinder the growth of plants,
Although planting is possible without removing the root winding member 3, it is preferable, but this is not particularly limited.

When the root-wrapping member 3 is used, it may be coated on the entire root pot or partially on the root pot so that the upper part of the root pot is exposed, for example.

Normally, the root-wrapping member 3 is often required for packing plants, but for example, a tree or a sapling whose leaves are deciduous trees may not need the root-wrapping member. It is also possible to directly tie the aging binding band 4 according to the present invention. Thus, when the aging rubber band according to the present invention is used as a binding band for plants, there is no particular limitation, but the width is 10 to 25 mm, preferably 12 to 18 mm, and the thickness is 0.7 to 2.0 mm, preferably Is about 0.8 to 1.2 mm, and it is possible to exemplify a more preferable state that the ring has a ring shape that can be easily expanded and contracted by a human.

For packing work, a plurality of annular aging binding bands 4 as illustrated in FIG. 2 are used, and if necessary, the root winding member 3
The root pot 2 covered with can be exemplified by a method in which the elasticity of the band 4 is used, for example, by simply pulling it artificially and fastening it in a bundle so that it can be performed very easily as shown in FIG. For example, it is possible to bind the root pots through the root winding member without forming a knot, which is extremely advantageous in terms of packing efficiency. At this time, for example, if ropes are used, it can be broken in the soil within a year, but since these ropes are not elastic and are not ring-shaped, they are extremely uneconomical in terms of packing work. That is clear.

On the other hand, it takes more than a year for rubbers that are usually sold in the market to age and fall into the soil, and the effect of the present invention is also great in this respect.

Here, the aging binding band according to the present invention loses its elasticity for 5 to 12 months under a specific condition in soil, but it is desirable that it does not lose its elasticity for a certain period of time when it is stored in a room or the like. For these reasons, it is desirable that the aging rubber band of the present invention has elasticity at room temperature, for example, at a temperature of 15 ° C. and a humidity of 65% for more than one year and preferably for one year and six months or more.

As the use of the aging binding band according to the present invention, the binding band of the root pot in the plant is suitable as described above,
This is not particularly limited, and application to other similar applications can be expected.

<Effects of the Invention> The present invention is as described above, and since the aging binding band according to the present invention loses elasticity in 5 to 12 months under specific conditions, it is suitable as a binding band for root pots in plants, for example. In addition, since it has an annular structure, it can be tied without making a knot, and the root pot will not be separated or the root will not be damaged during binding. Further, the number of man-hours required for packing is greatly reduced as compared with the conventional structure using a cord-shaped member, and anyone can easily carry out packing without requiring skill. When packing the plants, it has extremely remarkable effects such as rationalization of the work process.

Furthermore, since the binding band of the present invention uses a material that has an aging property in the soil within a certain period of time, for example, when planting trees, it is removed or cut in the same step as a conventional rope. There is no need for it, and since it is possible to plant it in a state of being tied without a knot, it is possible to expect special effects such as not damaging the roots when planting. In addition, the binding band of the present invention has a temperature of 15 ° C indoors,
Since it has elasticity for more than 1 year under the condition of humidity of 65%, it has the advantage that it will not age within 1 year when stored in an unused state, and has excellent storability. You can also expect the effect of being
