Description

Machine for forming plant branches artificial used in perimeter fences of plots of buildings.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a machine for form artificial plant branches used in enclosures perimeter of building plots.

Background of the invention

Currently to close the plots of buildings apart from using a fence are also often used some so-called arizonic plants with which you can get hedges up to two meters high perfectly dense.

These types of plants require care: irrigation, pruning and almost constant maintenance, all this also implies important expenses.

To avoid these problems, the machine of the invention with which artificial branches are obtained that simulate arizonic, so that these branches when relating conveniently form a kind of blanket or surface with the that covers the perimeter of a plot.

The effect that is fundamentally achieved is the same that is obtained with these arizonic plants which is that of cover the perimeter at a height that can be equal to or similar to the that is achieved with these arizonic ones.

The only maintenance that needs the use of these artificial branches to form fences with hedges is that periodically wash with water by means of a hose.

Description of the invention

The machine of the invention comprises a support structure of a coil of plastic strips, whose coils have aligned and parallel shafts and are facing each other which feed two heads with strips blades

Each head makes the cuts in two strips, the lateral cuts being left without cutting the central part longitudinal of each strip.

The separation between two consecutive cuts set the width of the strip that simulates the leaf of the branch artificial.

In addition, the central area not cut encamisa and It covers two wire strands used in the assembly of the branch.

Once the cut is made, the strips go through rollers that are mounted on the sides greater than frames that favor, in the manufacturing process, guidance and the continuous displacement of the cut plastic strips in conjunction with wire wires.

Wire wires are supplied by wire coils hung and positioned aligned, parallel facing two to two.

The threads of the coils go through some sheaves arranged in the direction of travel of the cut strips of so that the two wire strands are positioned between the two strips in the central zone of the strips where it appears without cuts.

The free ends of the strips and wires they are fixed to the free end of the residual section that the last branch formed in the machine, whose section is in solidarity with a point of a rotating head mounted on a car that moves on guides belonging to a bench, the carriage travel length depending on the length that must have the artificial branch formed.

The rotation of the head produces the winding of the strips on the wire strands while these are twist between them.

The machine presents between the mounting area of the strips with the wire wires and the twisting zone a prismatic, preferably perforated vertical portion that found perpendicular to the displacement of the car.

This vertical portion has openings sufficiently wide through which they pass each of the branches in the conformation process.

Once formed the branch to the length preset by the displacement length of the head is cut the branch into a blade arranged on the other side of the portion vertical with respect to the position of the car.

This blade has so many cutting elements as the branches that in conformation cross the steps respective of the mentioned vertical portion.

Description of a practical example of realization of the invention

Machine 1 comprises a sturdy structure 2 on which plastic coils 3 are mounted which determine strips 4 that enter into knife heads 5. These heads have the blades 5a mounted in an arrangement cylindrical and in the sense of the generatrix.

Each blade head 5 has two zones of cut 6 and in each zone there is a central part 7 that does not have cut.

The heads are positioned parallel two to two so that the strips 4 enter the heads in zones 6 of the blades facing each other to form a branch 8.

The blades 5a make lateral cuts 9 in each strip 4 leaving a central area 10 without cuts.

Two strips 4 enter each head, so that parallel and vertically facing strips when leaving the heads enter through a series of bars 11 by means of the which strips to be used in the formation of branch 8 They are separated.

Once the strips come out of these bars the ends of the strips are joined with the ends of two wires 12 rolled in coils 13 that are a plane higher than that of the strips and also the coil wires run through rollers, not represented, that favor positioning and the necessary tension of the wires.

The end 13a formed by joining the tapes or strips with the ends of the wires attached to a head torsionador 14 that when turning is turning the wires together and between them the central zone without cuts of the strips and as the twisted wires are twisting the plastic strips by its central area, thus forming the branch whose length is determined by the support 15 of the torsion head 14.

The support 15 moves along guides 16 of a bench being able to program the travel length of the torsion head support tailored to the length of the branch you want to get.

Once this length is achieved the branch enters in operation a drive cutting device 17, by example, hydraulic that cuts on the branch 18 the branch area to be cut that is separated from the torsion zone and so both shaping the branch by a vertical support 19 by where the set of strips and wires come into shape.

Describe sufficiently the nature of the invention, as well as how to perform it in practice, should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to modifications of detail as long as they do not alter the principle fundamental.
