PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hook applicable to a variety of specific uses in relation to the induction of plants.SOLUTION: A hook 1 for inducing plants is integrally formed from an elastic synthetic resin and includes an elongate, rod-shaped shaft portion 2, a first hook portion 3 formed in such a way as to be curved and continue with one end of the shaft portion 2, a second hook portion 4 formed in such a way as to be curved and continue with the other end of the shaft portion 2 along the same face as the first hook portion 3, at a greater curvature than that of the first hook portion 3, and a plurality of locking portions 5 formed at intervals on the extension line of the shaft portion 2. The locking portion 5 includes a shoulder portion 6 overhanging to both sides from the shaft portion 2 in its radial direction along the same face as the first and second hook portions 3, 4, a first locking piece 7 extending from one end portion of the shoulder portion 6 to the second hook portion 4 along the shaft portion 2, and a second locking piece 8 extending from the other end portion of the shoulder portion 6 to the second hook portion 4 along the shaft portion 2.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】植物の誘引に関連して種々の具体的用途に適用できるフックを提供する。【解決手段】植物誘引用フック1は、弾性合成樹脂で一体成形され、細長棒状の軸部2と、この軸部2の一端側に湾曲して連続するように形成される第1のフック部3と、この第1のフック3部より大きな曲率で当該第1のフック部3と同一面に沿って軸部2の他端側に湾曲して連続するように形成される第2のフック部4と、軸部2の延長途上に相互間隔を置いて複数形成される係止部5とを具備する。係止部5は、第1、第2のフック部3,4と同一面に沿って軸部2からそれの半径方向両側へ張り出す肩部6と、肩部6の一端部から第2のフック部4側へ軸部2に沿って延びる第1の係止片7と、肩部6の他端部から第2のフック部4側へ軸部2に沿って延びる第2の係止片8とを具備する。【選択図】図1
