Support component to prevent a stem holding a bunch of tomatoes from bending

摘要

The support component comprises a curved groove with a curved outer wall 1, a curved inner wall 2 and a base, and lugs 7 which are arranged at both ends of the outer wall and form an extension of the outside edge of this wall. In order to be able to adapt the width of the groove to the thickness of the stem, at least one of the curved walls of the groove is provided with hinges 5 which run perpendicular to the base, and the wall which is provided with hinges, between the hinges which lie furthest apart, is separated (at 6) from the base 3. That part of the wall which is separated from the base can then be pressed inwards via a neutral position in order to narrow the width of the groove. IMAGE
