PLANT PROTECTORS

摘要

The plant protector is designed to form a sleeve of triangular cross section from a flat sheet (10) having a width of 285 mm by way of example. The sleeve is attached to a horizontal support wire (11) by folding a top securing flap (12) past and around the wire (11). The sheet (10) can be of various lengths to form erected sleeves of different heights to suit different applications. By way of example the erected sleeve can be of a number of different heights within a range of about 300 mm to about 1600 mm. Sleeve (13) has spaced sealing tabs (14) along each of the longitudinal edges. The lower end (15) may be engaged with the ground while the upper end has a horizontal crease line (16) for the securing flap (12). The tabs (14) along the two longitudinal edges are mutually offset so that the tabs (14) along each edge align with the inter-tab spaces (15) along the opposite edge so that a dove-tail closing action is achieved.
