Klemme für die Befestigung eines Pflanzenstammes an einem Stützdraht.

摘要

A clamp for fixing a plant stem to a support wire includes a movable clamp member (10), a fixed clamp member (20), a support shaft (1) and a spring (2) attached to the movable and fixed clamp members (10, 20). Each of the movable and fixed clamp members (10, 20) has a semicircular beak (11, 21) at its one end and an operating member (12, 22) at its other end. The fixed clamp member (20) has an intermediate body portion (23) provided with a support slot (24) for accommodating an intermediate portion (13) of the movable clamp member (10). The support shaft (1) pivotally attaches the intermediate portion (13) accommodated in the support slot (24) to the fixed clamp member (20). The spring (2) applies a biasing force causing the two beaks (11, 21) to close onto each other in the manner of a ring and the two operating members (12, 22) to open in a V-like manner. The body portion (23) is provided with slits (25) extending part way along the floor (24') of the support slot (24) from the beak (21) in the direction of the operating member (22). A notch (26) opening toward the movable clamp member (10) is provided in the floor of the support slot (24) at the location of the inner end of the slits (25). A protrusion (14) is provided on the intermediate portion (13) for invading the notch (26) when the two beaks are closed under the force of the spring (2) and withdrawing from the notch when the two beaks are opened by a force overcoming the force of the spring.
