DEVICE FOR FIXING AND ADJUSTING CARRYING WIRES IN PLANT ROW Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A01G17/06 A01G17/08 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises for each row a pair of head pillars and a plurality of intermediate pillars, between which fixed or movable carrying wires and movable supporting wires are tensioned, the supporting wires and said carrier wires, if any, being made with the possibility to move in the vertical direction. Wherein each head pillar is buried in the ground in the substantially vertical position and is connected to an additional pillar installed in the vertical position by means of a first structural element located near the upper ends of the head pillar and the corresponding vertical pillar and, by means of a possible second structural element located near the lower ends of said pillars buried in the ground so as to form a rigid structure that resists the tension of the wires of said plant row. Each additional vertical pillar also forms a guide for a moving means, to which the supporting wires are attached. The device mounting method includes the following stages: a) providing a pair of head pillars; b) penetrating said pair of head pillars in the vertical position into the ground at a predetermined depth; c) penetrating an additional pillar into the ground in a vertical position near each pillar of the head pillars, so that they are arranged on the same line with the pair of head pillars, and so that they face in opposite directions with regard to the pair of head pillars; d) connecting each head pillar with the appropriate additional pillar by means of a first structural element at the upper end of the head pillar and the additional pillar and probably with a second structural element at the lower end of the head pillar and the additional pillar above or below the ground level; e) penetration into the earth of a certain number of intermediate pillars to support the carrying wires; f) tensioning horizontally the plurality of fixed or movable carrying wires between the head pillars and attaching them to said plurality of intermediate pillars; g) attaching at least one pair of supporting wires, horizontally aligned and spaced from each other at a predetermined distance, between two additional pillars by means of a drum moving along the additional columns; h) arranging said at least one pair of second supporting wires below a growing last year's shoot; i) providing the opportunity for the growth of grape vine shoots from last year's shoots, so that they rise above said at least one pair of supporting wires; j) moving up said at least one pair of supporting wires in order to support and hold the shoots.

EFFECT: increasing the vertical movement range of supporting wires to provide greater flexibility in plant management and simplifying the process of penetrating head pillars into the ground.
