583,379. Horticultural cloches. SKINNER, A. T., and COUVE, N., (trading as HIGHDALE SOIL LABORATORY). July 10, 1944, No. 13194. [Class 20 (i)] A cloche which has two inclined glass &c. panels interconnected at their upper edges, has means for supporting the panels and connecting and retaining means, including at least two loops in a single length of wire, co-operating with the supporting means so that the distance between the top edges of the panels may be adjusted, and the panels retained in adjusted position. The panels 1, 2 may be supported at their lower edges by a pair of wire frames 3, 4 having hook ends 5, 6 and passing through loops formed in a wire connecting and retaining member consisting of a free end 8 engaging over the upper edge of one panel 1, an approximately circular loop 7, a loop 9, 10 in a plane approximately perpendicular to the the plane of the loop 7, a further loop 11 in approximately the same plane as the loop 7 and a free end 12 also engaging over the upper edge of the panel 1. The wire is bent to form notches 13, 13A; 14, 14A &c. into which the upper edge of the panel 2 may be inserted. Guards 16, 17, 18, 19 may be applied to the edges of the panels.
