La invención, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, se refiere a una caja de biodiversidad para aves insectívoras, murciélagos e insectos, la cual aporta, a la función a que se destina, una serie de ventajas y características de novedad que se describirán en detalle más adelante y que suponen una mejora frente a lo actualmente conocido para el mismo fin. The invention, as stated in the present specification, refers to a biodiversity box for insectivorous birds, bats and insects, which contributes, to the function to which it is intended, a series of advantages and novelty features that they will be described in detail below and that represent an improvement over what is currently known for the same purpose.

Más en particular, el objeto de la invención se centra en una caja que tiene como finalidad constituirse como nido para dar cabida, de forma simultánea, tanto a aves insectívoras como a murciélagos y a determinados insectos, de manera que la proliferación de dicha biodiversidad sirva como herramienta natural para evitar enfermedades causadas por plagas de insectos a los árboles, particularmente encinas, alcornoques y pinos. More particularly, the object of the invention is centered on a box whose purpose is to establish itself as a nest to simultaneously accommodate both insectivorous birds and bats and certain insects, so that the proliferation of said biodiversity serves as Natural tool to avoid diseases caused by insect pests to trees, particularly holm oaks, cork oaks and pine trees.

FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de nidos y cajas similares para morada de pequeños animales. The field of application of the present invention is part of the industry sector dedicated to the manufacture of similar nests and boxes for small animals.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Como es sabido, la mejor manera de luchar contra las plagas de insectos es utilizando los recursos de la propia naturaleza, es decir, favoreciendo la reproducción de los depredadores naturales de los insectos que causan dichas plagas y pueden llegar a provocar graves perjuicios a los árboles, especialmente encinas, alcornoques y pinos. As is known, the best way to fight against insect pests is to use the resources of nature itself, that is, favoring the reproduction of natural predators of the insects that cause these pests and can cause serious damage to trees , especially holm oaks, cork oaks and pines.

El objetivo de la presente invención, es pues, desarrollar una caja para procurar nido a dichos depredadores, que, principalmente, son las aves insectívoras, los murciélagos y otros insectos. The objective of the present invention is, therefore, to develop a box to provide nest to said predators, which, mainly, are insectivorous birds, bats and other insects.

Por otra parte, y como referencia al estado actual de la técnica, conviene señalar que, si bien existen múltiples tipos y modelos de nidos y cajas para anidar destinadas a dichos animales, se desconoce la existencia de ninguna que presente unas características técnicas, estructurales y constitutivas semejantes a las que presenta la que aquí se preconiza y según se reivindica. On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although there are multiple types and models of nests and nesting boxes intended for these animals, the existence of none that presents technical, structural and structural characteristics is unknown. constitutive similar to those presented here that is recommended and as claimed.

En dicho sentido, hay que mencionar que el propio solicitante es titular de un Modelo de Utilidad Español, con número de publicación ES1071256U, relativo a un “Nido para aves o murciélagos”, que, si bien cumple satisfactoriamente con los objetivos para los que está pensado, y supone el documento más cercano del estado de la técnica anterior, presenta aspectos mejorables y no contemplados para el nuevo objetivo de la presente invención, es decir, permitir la morada de varios tipos diferentes de animales en una misma caja, favoreciendo con ello la reproducción de los depredadores naturales de los insectos que provocan las plagas en los árboles In this regard, it should be mentioned that the applicant himself is the owner of a Spanish Utility Model, with publication number ES1071256U, related to a “Nest for birds or bats”, which, although it satisfactorily meets the objectives for which it is thought, and supposes the closest document of the prior art, presents improvable aspects and not contemplated for the new objective of the present invention, that is to say, allowing the lodging of several different types of animals in the same box, thereby favoring the reproduction of natural predators of insects that cause pests in trees

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

Así, la caja de biodiversidad para aves insectívoras, murciélagos e insectos que la presente invención preconiza, se configura como una destacable novedad dentro de su campo de aplicación, ya que a tenor de su implementación y de forma taxativa, se configura como un sistema práctico y eficaz para alcanzar los objetivos anteriormente señalados como idóneos, estando los detalles caracterizadores que lo hacen posible y que la distinguen de lo ya conocido en el mercado. Thus, the biodiversity box for insectivorous birds, bats and insects that the present invention advocates, is configured as a remarkable novelty within its field of application, since according to its implementation and in a restrictive way, it is configured as a practical system and effective to achieve the aforementioned objectives as suitable, being the characterizing details that make it possible and that distinguish it from what is already known in the market.

De forma concreta, pues, lo que la invención propone es una caja de biodiversidad diseñada para servir como nido de aves insectívoras, de murciélagos y de insectos, para lo cual se configura a partir de un cuerpo principal, que puede ser cilíndrico o cuadrangular, en cuya parte superior se ha previsto un primer hueco para las aves, el cual, presenta, de forma convencional, sendas aberturas laterales que sirven de entrada y permiten el acceso de las aves a su interior a través de dos laterales opuestos. Specifically, then, what the invention proposes is a biodiversity box designed to serve as a nest for insectivorous birds, bats and insects, for which it is configured from a main body, which can be cylindrical or quadrangular, in whose upper part a first hollow for the birds has been foreseen, which, in a conventional way, presents two lateral openings that serve as input and allow the access of the birds to its interior through two opposite sides.

Este primer hueco, también de forma ya conocida, está abierto por la parte superior de la caja donde encaja una tapa superior practicable, siendo importante señalar que, en lugar de ocupar todo el interior del cuerpo principal, de forma innovadora, solo ocupa, aproximadamente, la mitad interior de la caja o cuerpo principal y, por tanto, no tiene salida por la parte inferior de la misma. This first hole, also in a known way, is opened by the upper part of the box where a practicable top lid fits, it is important to note that, instead of occupying the entire interior of the main body, in an innovative way, it only occupies, approximately , the inner half of the box or main body and, therefore, has no outlet from the bottom of it.

Siguiendo con las características innovadoras de la invención, en la parte inferior del cuerpo principal de la caja se ha previsto un segundo hueco, en este caso diseñado para murciélagos, el cual ocupa la zona inferior del interior de dicho cuerpo principal estando abierto inferiormente, en la base inferior de dicho cuerpo principal, donde se ha previsto una plataforma extraíble, que se fija mediante atornillado, la cual queda parcialmente externa, prolongándose por la parte inferior de la caja y así actúa como apoyo para facilitar la entrada de los murciélagos al interior de dicho segundo hueco. Following the innovative features of the invention, a second hole is provided in the lower part of the main body of the box, in this case designed for bats, which occupies the lower part of the interior of said main body being open inferiorly, in the lower base of said main body, where a removable platform is provided, which is fixed by screwing, which is partially external, extending along the bottom of the box and thus acts as a support to facilitate the entry of bats into the interior of said second hole.

Además, en el interior de este segundo hueco para murciélagos se ha previsto la existencia de una pequeña tabla que lo cruza transversalmente, con la finalidad de que dichos murciélagos se puedan colgar en ella. Esta tabla presenta, en su parte central, tanto inferior como superiormente, sendas hendiduras semicirculares diseñadas para reducir su tamaño en el centro y así facilitar el paso del murciélago de un lado a otro del hueco. In addition, inside this second hollow for bats the existence of a small board that crosses it transversely has been foreseen, so that these bats can be hung on it. This table presents, in its central part, both inferiorly and superiorly, semi-circular grooves designed to reduce its size in the center and thus facilitate the passage of the bat from one side of the hole to the other.

Asimismo, conviene señalar que, en sendos laterales opuestos del cuerpo principal, se han previsto unos taladros que llegan a interior del segundo hueco para murciélagos, concretamente a la parte superior de este segundo hueco y cuya finalidad es proporcionar una corriente de aire en el interior de este hueco para murciélagos que, además de proporcionar ventilación, evita que el murciélago se quede en la parte superior de la tabla y prefiera situarse en la parte inferior de la misma, con lo cual saldrá y se introducirá por la abertura inferior del hueco, en la que, como se ha dicho, se ha previsto una plataforma de apoyo externa. Likewise, it should be noted that, in opposite sides of the main body, some holes are provided that reach inside the second bat hole, specifically to the top of this second hole and whose purpose is to provide a current of air inside of this hollow for bats that, in addition to providing ventilation, prevents the bat from staying at the top of the board and preferring to be located at the bottom of the board, thereby leaving and entering through the lower opening of the hole, in which, as stated, an external support platform is planned.

Paralelamente, y según otra característica de la invención, en la base superior del cuerpo principal, alrededor de la abertura superior del primer hueco para aves, también se han previsto unos terceros huecos ciegos, de menor tamaño que el primer segundo huecos para aves y murciélagos, los cuales están pensados para la ubicación de insectos y quedan cubiertos por la antedicha tapa superior, la cual cuenta con un taco inferior que solo encaja en la abertura superior del primer hueco para aves, de manera que no cierra estos terceros huecos ciegos para insectos. In parallel, and according to another feature of the invention, in the upper base of the main body, around the upper opening of the first bird hole, third blind holes are also provided, smaller than the first second holes for birds and bats , which are designed for the location of insects and are covered by the above top cover, which has a lower block that only fits into the upper opening of the first bird hole, so that it does not close these third blind holes for insects .

Además, en diferentes puntos del cuerpo principal de la caja se han previsto una pluralidad de pequeños agujeros ciegos para que se instalen en ellos los insectos, evitando que lo hagan en los árboles. Preferentemente, dichos agujeros ciegos se disponen en los laterales del cuerpo principal opuesto a las aberturas de entrada del hueco para aves y en la base inferior de dicho cuerpo principal, junto a la plataforma de entrada al hueco de murciélagos así como en la parte inferior de la propia plataforma. In addition, at different points of the main body of the box, a plurality of small blind holes have been provided for insects to be installed there, preventing them from doing so in the trees. Preferably, said blind holes are arranged on the sides of the main body opposite to the entrance openings of the bird hole and in the lower base of said main body, next to the entrance platform to the bat hole as well as in the lower part of The platform itself.

Por último, cabe señalar que, para su cuelgue, la caja cuenta con un sistema de varillas que se fijan a un gancho en el que se han previsto barreras para impedir la entrada en la misma de roedores y hormigas, siendo dicho sistema del tipo ya conocido que divulga el modelo de utilidad ES1071256U propiedad de mismo solicitante. Finally, it should be noted that, for its hanging, the box has a system of rods that are fixed to a hook in which barriers are provided to prevent the entry of rodents and ants in it, said system of the type already known to disclose the utility model ES1071256U owned by the same applicant.

Visto lo que antecede, se constata que la descrita una caja de biodiversidad para aves insectívoras, murciélagos e insectos, representa una estructura innovadora de características técnicas y constitutivas desconocidas hasta ahora para tal fin, razones que unidas a su utilidad práctica, la dotan de fundamento suficiente para obtener el privilegio de exclusividad que se solicita. Given the above, it is found that the described a biodiversity box for insectivorous birds, bats and insects, represents an innovative structure of technical and constitutive characteristics unknown until now for this purpose, reasons that together with its practical utility, endow it with foundation enough to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.
