Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial field of application) This invention relates to a support cap structure for fruit tree trellis supports, and more specifically, the invention relates to a support cap structure for fruit tree trellis supports, and more specifically, a fruit tree trellis support structure that can reliably and easily support the perimeter line and suspension line of a fruit tree trellis. The object of the present invention is to provide a column cap structure for a shelf column.

(Background of the idea) In orchards, the weight of the fruits on the branches of the fruit trees causes the branches of the fruit trees to break, causing damage to the fruit trees themselves, as well as reducing the yield of fruit due to damage to the fruits that fall with the trees. There was a problem with the decrease.

To solve this problem, orchards use fruit trellises.

This fruit tree shelf generally has a structure as shown in FIG.

That is, the orchard shelf 1 has intermediate supports 4 erected between the corner supports 3, 3 installed at the four corners of the orchard surface 2, and a suspension line 5 that supports the ends of each support support 3, 4 outwardly. , an anchor 6 that fixes the suspension line 5 to the ground surface 2, a peripheral line 7 stretched along the outside of the tips of the supports 3 and 4, and a main line 8 stretched between the opposing intermediate supports 4 and 5. , and a small wire 9 stretched within the surrounding wire 7.

A fruit tree shelf 1 having such a structure is formed in an orchard,
The branches of the fruit tree are supported by the main line 8 and the small wire 9 to prevent the branches from breaking due to the weight of the fruit.

(Prior Art and Its Disadvantages) By the way, in order to reliably support the perimeter line 7 and the extension line 5, which are one of the structural members of the fruit tree shelf mentioned above, a prop cap 10 shown in FIG. 4 is attached to the tip of the corner post 3. was used.

This strut cap 10 is constructed by having a locking rod 13 tangentially fixed to a circumferential side wall 12 of a cap body 11 in a horizontal manner.

When using this prop cap 10,
A support cap 10 is attached to the tip of the corner support 3, and a support line 5 is wound along the circumferential wall 12 of the cap body 11 in a special winding structure shown in FIG. 4 (winding from arrow a to l). This suspension line 5 is prevented from loosening, and this suspension line 5 is locked with a locking rod 13, and then the peripheral line 14 is stretched along and in contact with the circumferential side surface 12 of the column cap 11, This peripheral line 14 was used to press and support the extension line 5.

When using the conventional prop cap 10 as described above, it is necessary to manually wrap the extension line 5 around the prop cap 10, and in this case, the work area is at a high place, so the footing for the worker is poor. Moreover, since the winding structure of the suspension line 5 is special, the work of attaching the suspension line 5 to the column cap 10 is extremely difficult and requires skill.

Furthermore, the peripheral line 14 can be simply connected to the support cap 10.
Since the circumferential line 14 is only in contact with the circumferential side wall 12 of the column, the attachment state of the circumferential line 14 to the column cap 10 is uncertain, and there is a drawback that the circumferential line 14 is likely to come off from the column cap 10 during use. .

(Means for solving the disadvantages) This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages, and an annular vertical locking part is fixed to a half of the upper side of the cap body perpendicular to the upper side. At the same time, an annular parallel locking part is fixed to the other half of the upper surface of the cap body in parallel with the upper surface,
Moreover, by providing a strut cap structure for a fruit tree shelf in which a portion of the parallel locking portion protrudes from the cap main body, the above-mentioned drawbacks are solved.

(Example) An example of this invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 3 are diagrams illustrating an embodiment of this invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 20 indicates a column cap, and this column cap 20 is composed of a cap body 21, a vertical locking portion 22, and a parallel locking portion 23.

The cap body 21 is formed into a cylindrical shape with an open bottom end, and is configured to be fitted and fixed to the tip of the cylindrical corner post 3.

The cap body 21 is preferably made of iron, aluminum or other metals, and may be formed by casting or pressing.

In this embodiment, assuming that the corner support 3 has a cylindrical shape, the cap body 21 is
Although the shape of the corner support 3 is cylindrical, if the shape of the corner support 3 is a prismatic shape, for example, a quadrangular prism, the cap body 21 may be formed into a square cylindrical shape to accommodate this.

The vertical locking portion 22 is formed into an annular shape by bending a wire rod, and is fixed perpendicularly to a half of the upper side surface 24 of the cap body 22 by means such as welding.

The reason why the vertical locking part 22 is formed into an annular shape in this invention is that the peripheral wire 7 is inserted into the vertical locking part 22,
This is also to lock the extension line 5 to the rounded portion of the vertical locking portion 22.

From this point of view, the vertical locking portion 22 may have a hook shape, but in this case, it may not be possible to obtain the strength to cope with the load received from the extension line 5 and the surrounding line 7.

The parallel locking portion 23 is formed into an annular shape by bending a wire rod, and is fixed to the other half of the upper surface of the cap body 21 in parallel with the upper surface by means such as welding.

The tip of this parallel locking portion 23 is connected to the cap body 2.
It protrudes at least outwardly from the circumferential side surface 25 of No. 1 .

This parallel locking portion 23 and the above-mentioned vertical locking portion 22
Preferably, the material used is iron, aluminum or other metal.

Note that the parallel locking portion 23 and the vertical locking portion 22 do not need to be constructed from separate wire rods, and may be constructed by bending both ends of a single wire rod.

To use the strut cap 20 as described above, the strut cap 20 is fitted onto the tip of the corner strut 3 as shown in FIG. ' is wrapped around and locked, and both ends of the extension lines 5, 5 are connected to the parallel locking part 23.
and both wires 5, 5 are fixed at the ground surface 2 with anchors 6.

Next, when stretching the peripheral line 7, this peripheral line 7
is inserted into the vertical locking part 22, and this vertical locking part 22
The peripheral line 7 is bent using as a bending point.

One embodiment of this invention is constructed as described above, in which the peripheral line 7 is annularly connected to the vertical locking portion 2.
2, the peripheral wire 7 can be reliably supported by the support cap 20 without coming off from the support support cap 20.

Further, since the folded line 5 locks the folded part 5' to the vertical locking part 22, and also inserts the vicinity of the folded part 5' into the parallel locking part 23, the support line 5's strut cap 2
0 can be easily installed without complicated work such as winding work.

(Effects of the invention) As detailed above, in this invention, an annular vertical locking part is fixed to one half of the upper surface of the cap body perpendicularly to the same upper surface, and the other half of the upper surface of the cap body This relates to a strut cap structure for a strut for a fruit tree shelf, in which an annular parallel locking portion is fixed to the top of the support in parallel with the same side surface, and at least a portion of the parallel locking portion protrudes from the cap main body. By inserting the peripheral line through the annular vertical locking part, the peripheral line can be easily and securely supported by the support cap, and the folded part of the wire can be locked in the vertical locking part, and Since it can be inserted near the folded part of the extension line from the parallel locking part,
It is also possible to securely and easily support the extension line to the support column cap, and therefore, it is possible to firmly fix the line without requiring any skill in the work.
