Along with the work as a reinforcement for the bending load of the branches The present invention results, to provide a contribute reinforcing tool also in the prevention of broken torn from the branches of the bifurcation A brace 1 comprises a retaining portion 2 gutter-shaped having a groove 3, comprises a support part 4 consecutive thereto, it is integrally formed of elastic synthetic resin. The retaining unit 2 is formed in a gutter shape with a curved plate portion 5 and a plurality of retaining pieces 6, accept the predetermined length of the base end side of the results branch B when attachment to the plant from the side surface in the groove portion 3 . The retaining pieces 6, stop any further bent by contact with adjacent side to each other when the curved plate portion 5 is curved in a predetermined curvature. Supporting part 4 has a contact plate portion 11 extending to continuously facing plate portion of one of the retaining pieces 6 located at one end of the retaining portion 2, abuts the side surface of the main stem S. Support unit 4, along the sides of the main stem S, by supporting the retaining pieces 6 which has received a load of results branch B in the main stem S, to prevent the break torn from the branch part of the result branch BFIELD 6【課題】結果枝の曲げ荷重に対する補強として働くと共に、枝の分岐部から裂け折れの防止にも寄与する補強具を提供する。【解決手段】補強具1は、溝部3を有する樋状の抱持部2と、これに連続する支持部4とを具備し、弾性合成樹脂で一体成形される。抱持部2は、湾曲板部5と複数の抱持片6とにより樋状に形成され、植物への装着時に結果枝Bの基端側の所定長さ部分を溝部3内に側面から受け入れる。抱持片6は、湾曲板部5が所定の曲率に湾曲したとき互いに隣接辺を当接させてそれ以上の屈曲を止める。支持部4は、抱持部2の一端側に位置する一の抱持片6の対向片部に連続し、主茎Sの側面に当接するように延出する当接板部11を有する。支持部4は、主茎Sの側面に沿い、結果枝Bの荷重を受けた抱持片6を主茎Sに支持することにより、結果枝Bの分岐部から裂け折れを防止する。【選択図】図6
