Wire support system for training hop vines

摘要

The wire systems for training hop vines normally comprise a trellis of generally horizontal main wires and, connected therewith, riser wires which extend generally vertically. The invention provides riser strands which at their upper end have a loop integrally formed therewith and which are connected to the horizontal main wires by a hook. Each hook has narrow partially open eyes formed at both ends of the hook, one being at the upper end of the hook and the other being at its lower end. The loop of the riser strand is hooked into the lower eye of the hook, while the hook itself is suspended from the horizontal main wire which is forceably moved into the upper eye of the hook so as to receive the horizontal wire.
