PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clip capable of easily guiding support wire to between a pair of narrow holding parts and with which guide operation for plant may be smoothly executed.SOLUTION: A clip 1 is equipped on hanging support wire W to support stem S of plant onto the support wire W. The clip comprises a main body 2 made of metal plate having spring property and sandwiching member 3 made of elastic foam. The main body 2 comprises a pair of curve operation parts 4, a spring plate part 5 and first, second holding claws 6, 7. The holding claws 6, 7 cross each other when the main body 2 is curved so that the holding part 6a, 7a are made in opposed to receive the support wire W. After reception of the support wire W, the support wire W is held between holding parts 6a, 7a with restoration force by the main body 2. When the main body 2 is curved, guide surface parts 4b face each other with V shape whose outer side is expanded and makes the support wire W to slide to guides it between 2 holding part 6a, 7a guides.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】狭小な一対の把持部間へ支持ワイヤを容易に誘導することができ、植物の誘引作業をより円滑に行うことができるクリップを提供する。【解決手段】クリップ1は、垂下する支持ワイヤWに装着され、植物の茎Sを支持ワイヤWに支持する。ばね性の金属板材からなる本体2と、弾性発泡体製の挟持部材3とを具備する。本体2は、一対の湾曲操作部4、ばね板部5、第1,第2の把持爪6,7を具備する。把持爪6,7は、本体2が湾曲したとき、互いに交差することによって、支持ワイヤWを受け入れるように把持部6a,7aを対向させる。支持ワイヤWを受け入れ後、本体2の復元力で把持部6a,7a間に支持ワイヤWを把持する。本体2の湾曲時に、ガイド面部4bが、外広がりのV字状に相対向し、2つの把持部6a,7a間に支持ワイヤWを滑らせて案内する。【選択図】図5
