The invention relates to a device for tying vines to vine stakes.

In viticulture it is known to be necessary to bind the individual vines in such a way that as possible a lot of sun can get to the grapes and the plant is sufficiently stable will. The trunk or leg of the vine should be held on the one hand, and must on the other the bows are tied downwards and the target wood upwards.

In many cases, a few vine stakes are placed in each row of vines, with several horizontally between them Wires are drawn to which the vines are tied with bast. Especially in the better ones In vineyards, however, it is preferred to assign a special vine stake to each vine and attach the vines to it.

Since tying the vines is always a very time-consuming job, one tries to do this activity to make it more rational. Thus a tethering device became known, with the one from the upper point the vine stake to the ground several wires are stretched diagonally, on which two wire rings from above different diameters can be applied. These wire rings, due to their different Size are arranged one above the other at a distance, the young target wood should be held up should, encompass from the outside and prevent bending down even after the grapes have set.

Such a device has as well as the pulling of horizontal wires between vine stakes the disadvantage that a relatively large amount of wire is required, which makes tying very expensive. Furthermore, the vines can only be used when using closed and rigid wire rings troublesome pruning.

It has also been suggested to use ribbons or wire rings that are loosely placed around the target wood will. However, this has the disadvantage that the rings slide down after a short time, because the target wood growing upwards with its part that has grown through the ring becomes heavier and heavier so presses on the ring from above. The vines are also moved by the action of the wind, see above that the rings can slip again and damage the vines themselves or their foliage.

In addition, devices for tying grapevines are known, which consist of a detachable clip on the vineyard stake to which a strap is attached. These clamps are attached to the vineyard stake every year

jams when the target wood is large enough to wrap around the tape. Must be for cutting However, the tape must be opened and the clamp removed, otherwise the tape will be trimmed when the Grapevine would be cut through.

According to another known device, a spacer which can be clamped to the vineyard stake carries a wire ring. The spacer must be made of strong and sturdy wire and the ring elastic and easily bendable wire exist, what different wire qualities for a tying device conditional. As the wire ring tilts down when it is opened, the binding process is made more difficult. and there is a risk of damaging the young shoots. It also happens that the through-grown target wood pushes the ring apart in such a way that the clamping effect of the spacer is lifted and it falls off the stake.

The invention has now set itself the task of proposing a tying device that, on the other hand, if only very small amounts of wire are used, it is cheap and easy to manufacture, which on the other hand has the advantage of good stability and thus a secure hold on the vines.

The invention relates to a device for tying a vine to the vine stake, in particular to hold up the target wood from one on the vine stake by means of a rigid Holder's spaced wire ring that can be opened at one point, holding the tall Target wood surrounds and holds, consists and serves that the one connected to the ring, of the same Material made and pointing to the middle of the ring spacer is permanently attached to the vine stake.

The ring is advantageously formed from two pieces of wire, the wire ends of which are stuck in the vine stake They are bent in the shape of a hook, sharpened and held against being pulled out by a cramp. From The parts of the wire pieces which protrude from the vine stake and which form the spacer are against one another twisted.

With such a device it is possible to use it once in winter during the idle period to be attached to the stake for many years. You practically no longer need yourself until you can prune to take care of the tying, as the target wood grows by itself through the rigid wire ring. Only when the vine has to be pruned, the ring is opened, the shoots pruned and immediately closed again the ring for next year's target wood. Should a target wood shoot really not grow into the ring by itself, it can also be opened later by simply opening the Take the ring with you, which is practically incidental when visiting the vineyard without much Workload is possible. This binding process is very simple and time-saving.

Depending on your needs, you can choose between several pieces of wire at a distance from one another on the vine stake be attached, advantageously decreasing the length of the wire pieces upwards, so that accordingly As the target wood grows, the circumference of the wire rings becomes smaller towards the top.

It has been found to be particularly useful to have wire pieces below the wire pieces that can be connected in pairs and to form rings to attach further pieces of wire to the vine stake in order to attach the legs and the arched vines.

Further details of the invention are shown in the exemplary drawings of a preferred embodiment recognizable.

F i g. 1 shows a vine tied to a vine stake with the aid of the device according to the invention;

F i g. 2 shows the attachment of the paired pieces of wire to the vine stake;

F i g. 3 shows the two wire ends that can be connected to one another before they are attached to the vine stake.

As in Fig. 1 can be seen on a well-known vine stake 1, which is about 50 cm embedded in the ground is tied to a vine 2. The vine consists of the trunk or leg 3, the arched vines 4 as well as the target wood 5.

Around the target wood 5, which goes up from the older arched vines 4, at a bending down To prevent, two retaining rings 6 and 7 are attached to the vine post 1. Each of these retaining rings 6 and 7 consists of two pieces of wire 8 and 9, the shape of which can be seen in FIG. While that Wire piece 8 has an eyelet 10 at one end, which by bending the wire end or can have been created by knocking out and punching a hole, is the corresponding end of the piece of wire 9 bent like a hook, so that this hook 11 is inserted into the eyelet 10 from above can be used if the two wire ends are to be connected to one another to form a ring.

The other ends of the wire pieces 8 and 9 are also angled hook-shaped and have a Tip 12 on. The attachment of the pieces of wire 8 and 9 on the vine pile 1 can best be seen from FIG. 2 recognize. The hook-shaped and pointed ends 13 are in the vine stake 1. A staple 14 holds the pieces of wire against being pulled out of the vine stake. Those looking out of the vine stake Wire parts 15 of both wire pieces 8 and 9 are twisted around one another, so that a fixed spacer 16 arises, which at the same time acts as a spacer for the wire pieces 8 and 9 formed Retaining ring 6 or 7 is used. From the end of the spacer 16 then go to the free wire ends of the Wire pieces 8 and 9 in an arc around the vine stake, so that their ends with the help of the eyelet 10 and the Hook 11 to form a ring that encloses the target wood 5, can be connected.

This training is a tethering device for the target wood of vines in the simplest way created, which is quite durable and on the other hand cheap to manufacture.

To fasten the leg 3, pieces of wire 17 in fixed at certain distances on the vine stake, which can be tied around the thigh, thereby the thigh is held on the vine stake. Furthermore, further pieces of wire 18 can be arranged on the vine stake be used to tie up the vines. In Fig. 1 are the vines for the better Clarity not yet linked to the pieces of wire 18.

It has been shown to be advantageous to use a wire approximately 3 mm thick for the wire rings. The circumference of the lower wire ring can be about 90 cm, the wire ring above 70 cm be. The height of the attachment of the individual attachment devices results from the growth height of the vine.

With the invention, a tying device is created that always remains attached to the vine stake. This saves having to create the binders at home, as is the case with the known devices for a single-pile connection has always been necessary up to now.
