<p>Device for tying vine or other trainable plants by means of an adhesive tape. A flat body (10) contains in its rear part (11) a roll (2) of adhesive tape (20), its front part (12) housing a star wheel (3) with a plurality of branches (30), the wheel being mounted in free rotation about a transverse axis (31), the extremity (32) of each branch (30) being round and having a width substantially equal to the width of the adhesive tape (20), the branches (30) being enclosed by side walls (34) separated by spaces (35), a portion of said star wheel (3) extending beyond the length of its branches from the lower edge (13) of the body (10) and being partially covered by a finger (4) configured like an arc of a circle and pivotingly mounted about an axis (40) at the front part (12) of the body (10) and bearing, by means of a spring (41), against the extremities (32) of the branches (30), between the side-walls (34); a blade (5) integral with the finger (4) being intended to cut, at the extremities (32) of the branches (30), the adhesive tape (20) whose extreme part rests on the extremities (32) of the branches (30) which extend beyond the lower edge (13) of the body (10), its non-adhesive face being in contact with said extremities (32), while the adhesive face of its extremity (21) adheres to the internal face of the finger (4) facing the extremity (32) of the branch (30) which is further away from the roll (2) which extends beyond the lower edge (13) of the body (10).</p> |
