VINE HOLDER Filed June 5. 1950 mn www3-Wim Patented Sept. 1, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE VINE HOLDER Lawrence J. Wurdinger, Mount Angel, Oreg.
Application June 5, 1950, Serial No. 166,101
1 Claim.
The present invention relates to improvements in vine holders and more particularly to the type adapted to maintain growing vines from contact with the ground.
The present invention forms an improvement over my copending application, Serial No. 53,888, now Patent No. 2,531,867.
An object of the present invention is to provide a vine holder which is simple in construction and economical of manufacture.
Further objects of the present invention are to provide a vine holder which is easily installed in a supporting position and easily removed therefrom, and which eiectively retains the vine in supported position.
Various other objects and advantages will be apparent from the description to follow. My contemplated improvement is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective View showing a plurality of the vine holders in supporting position with vines supported thereon;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the vine holder of the present invention; and
Figure 3 is a side elevational view of a portion of the vine holder.
Referrng more parti-cularly to the drawings, numeral I0 designates generally the vine holder of the present invention.
The vine holder I0 consists of a turf-engaging rst portion I2 having a substantially pointed end I4 which is adapted to facilitate insertion of the vine holder into the ground. Integral with the turf-engaging first portion I2 is an arcuately bent portion I6 lying in the same plane with the first portion I2. A second coil portion I8, substantially spiral in form, is integrally connected to the arcuately bent portion I6 by the U-shaped bend 20.
It will be noted that the spiral coil portion I8 may be made of any desired length, but is shown here as including approximately a turn and a quarter.
With this arrangement it will readily be seen that the vines 22 may be positioned between the ately bent U-shaped portions I6, I'I, 20, and the end portion 2I of the coil I8. Vines are also shown rst engaging the portion I9 of the coil I8 and then passing between the two arcuately bent portions I and I'I for resilient holding.
It will readily be apparent to one skilled in the art that a novel vine holder has been provided which may simply be manufactured from a single piece of rod stock or wire to form a particularly eective vine holding device.
In forming the vine holder of the present invention, a piece of rod stock can be bent on a pipe of the desired diameter. The pipe is positioned intermediate the ends of the rod stock and the wire rod is bent to U-shape. Next, the first portion I2 is bent at right angles to a tangent of the pipe, then the wire rod is bent back upon itself at 20. This may easily be done by providing a pin on the pipe about which the rod stock can be reversely directed. The coil portion I8 may then be formed by coiling the stock around the pipe the desired number of times.
After the vine holder has been formed to the desired shape the upper end may be cut off and the lower end ground to a point at I4.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
A vine holder comprising an elongated rod including a head and a ground penetrating stem, said head including a semi-circular portion having upper and lower ends, said stem depending radially from said lower end, a transverse portion extending from said upper end in a direction substantially perpendicular to said stern, a helical portion extending from said transverse portion co-axial with said semi-circular portion and having a radius substantially equal to the radius of said semi-circular portion and having its terminal end portion adjacent said transverse portion, said head adapted to receive vines in said helical portion and between said helical portion and said semi-circular portion.
