GRAFTING CLIP

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a grafting clip which can easily correspond to a large difference in the diameter of a stem or hypocotyl in grafting.SOLUTION: A grafting clip 3 to be mounted on grafting portions 14, 24 of scions 12, 22 to stocks 11, 21 comprises a tube curled in a "6" ( or ) shaped right axial cross-section, as shown in (a). Thus, the curl is not opened in the case of the stem or hypocotyl 13 having a small diameter as shown in (a), and the curl is more opened in the case of the stem or hypocotyl 23 having a large diameter as shown in (b). The same clip 3 can therefore be used for both the cases. Hence, the cost of the clip is more largely reduced than that of a clip similar to a so-called clothespin, and the labor for demounting the clip can be reduced, because the clip is naturally demounted or crack-dropped with the growth of the stem or hypocotyl 13, 23. Furthermore, the clip can easily correspond to the large difference in the diameter of the stem or hypocotyl 13, 23 only by fitting the same clip 3.
