摘要:
Two elongated tubes (11) (13) have respective diameters such that one tube (13) can nest inside the other tube (11). The two tubes (11) (13) are long enough that when the inner tube (13) is extended from its nested position, the overall length of the two tubes (11) (13) is in a range suitable for supporting or spreading tree branches. The interior surface (26) of the outer tube (11) has thereon a first plurality of raised portions which mate with a second plurality of raised portions on the exterior surface (28) of the inner tube (13) such that when the two tubes (11) (13) are in one rotational relationship, relative longitudinal movement of the two tubes (11) (13) is permitted, while when the two tubes (11) (13) are in another rotational relationship, relative longitudinal movement of the two tubes (11) (13) which would tend to shorten the prop is prevented.
摘要:
A device is mounted to the end of a log so that a skid steer may use the log to engage a tree targeted for felling. The device includes implements configured for engaging the target tree to be felled to give the operator of the device control over the target tree. The device is structured to push the target tree over such that the root ball of the target tree rises up out of the ground as the target tree is felled and/or to allow the operator to make cuts to the target tree before the device is use to push the tree in the desired direction of fell.

A plant support collar for supporting plant stems includes a central frame. The collar further includes a first hook member and a second hook member extending from the central frame in different directions. The first hook member and the second hook member each have a free end, the free end together with the central frame defining a passage for accommodating plant stems in the respective hook member. The central frame includes a support area configured to abut an intersection of the stems.

The present invention provides improved attachment devices fort support lines in plant growth support systems (e.g., trellis systems) and methods of using the same, and offers significant improvements in efficiency with regard to assembling, adjusting, and disassembling the support systems for plant and crop growth. The attachment devices may be advantageously used for various vine and low-lying plants (e.g., grapes, tomatoes, etc.) that can be grown in a trellis system or other vertical growth support system. The anchoring devices may include a wire loop for slipping over an end support bar and a wire strainer bracket attached to the wire loop.

A vine support system includes support posts adjacent each vine trunk with support wires suspended between the support posts. Positioning shafts are mounted vertically extending from the support wires. Pedistular supports are engaged on the positioning shafts for releasably supporting canes extending from each vine trunk, with the pedistular supports vertically positioned on the positioning shafts for pronation by the canes to suspend new growth from the canes in a fruiting zone.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to device and method for promoting plant growth. The device is a plant spacing member that has a body and a first end and a second end. The first end and second end have openings for receiving at least one plant limb therein to create a space between the limbs of the plant. An increased flow of air and light then flow through the created space to the interior of the plant to stimulate the growth of the plant. In addition, the increase flow of air and light dries the plant to reduce the accumulation of mold and mildew.
