Abstract

Foldable modular protector for plants characterized in that it comprises at least three modules, one or more central modules and two lateral modules, which are arranged next to one another. Both the lateral modules and the central modules consist of two stringers intended to be partially driven into the ground and three or more crosspieces that join both stringers. The unión of the central modules with each other, that of the lateral modules with the central modules and that of the lateral modules with each other, is carried out by joining means articulated between the spars of said modules. At least one of the crosspieces of each of the modules has means to scare away animals. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Description

Protector plegable de plantas Folding plant protector

5 Object of the invention

El objeto de la presente invención es un novedoso dispositivo plegable para la protección de las plantas de los animales herbívoros, sobre todo en las labores de reforestación para cuyo montaje in situ solo es necesario desplegarlo y darle la forma más adecuada a cada planta e The object of the present invention is a novel folding device for the protection of plants of herbivorous animals, especially in reforestation work whose assembly on site only needs to be deployed and give the most appropriate form to each plant and

10 hincarlo en el suelo. 10 drive it into the ground.

Background of the invention

Uno de los mayores problemas de las labores de reforestación es evitar que los animales One of the biggest problems of reforestation work is to prevent animals

15 herbívoros, tanto domésticos como salvajes, se coman las semillas o los plantones antes de que hayan arraigado y hayan alcanzado un tamaño adecuado para no verse afectado por los daños causados, sobre todo cuando las labores se realizan fuera de la época apropiada. 15 herbivores, both domestic and wild, eat the seeds or seedlings before they have taken root and have reached an adequate size so as not to be affected by the damage caused, especially when the work is done outside the appropriate time.

Cuando la reforestación se realiza con semillas, una de las maneras de evitar que se las When reforestation is done with seeds, one of the ways to prevent them from being

20 coman los herbívoros es protegerlas mediante rejillas de forma esférica que envuelven a cada una de las semillas y que no impiden su crecimiento. 20 eat the herbivores is to protect them by spherical grids that wrap each of the seeds and that do not impede their growth.

En el caso de haber utilizado plantones en la reforestación, la protección se suele realizar clavando tres largueros rodeándolo y unirlos mediante alambres o cintas. In the case of having used seedlings in the reforestation, the protection is usually done by nailing three stringers around it and joining them by means of wires or tapes.

25 Los inconvenientes de las anteriores soluciones es que necesitan una gran cantidad de mano de obra, lo que encarece los costes, que los animales en su intento de comérselas puedan sufrir heridas más o menos graves y, sobre todo, que la protección de las plantas no es completa y pueden sufrir daños causados por los animales. 25 The disadvantages of the previous solutions are that they need a large amount of labor, which makes the costs more expensive, that the animals in their attempt to eat them can suffer more or less serious injuries and, above all, that the protection of the plants It is not complete and may suffer damage caused by animals.

30 La presente invención preconiza un dispositivo que viene montado y plegado de fábrica y que solo requiere desplegarlo e hincarlo en el suelo hasta la profundidad requerida para proteger tanto las semillas como las plantas, pudiendo adoptar su planta tanto formas abiertas o cerradas o a modo de valla, con lo que se reduce su tiempo de montaje, se mejora la The present invention advocates a device that is assembled and folded at the factory and only requires to be deployed and driven into the ground to the depth required to protect both the seeds and the plants, and its plant may adopt both open or closed forms or as a fence. , which reduces its assembly time, improves the

35 protección de la planta y se evita que los animales sufran lesiones. 35 protection of the plant and it prevents animals from suffering injuries.

Description of the invention

El protector modular plegable para plantas, que es el objeto de la presente invención, 5 comprende al menos tres módulos, uno o más módulos centrales y dos módulos laterales, que se disponen uno junto a otro pudiendo formar un polígono, una figura geométrica abierta The modular folding plant protector, which is the object of the present invention, 5 comprises at least three modules, one or more central modules and two side modules, which are arranged next to each other and can form a polygon, an open geometric figure

o una línea recta o quebrada. Tanto los módulos laterales como los módulos centrales consisten en dos largueros destinados a ser hincados parcialmente en el suelo y tres o más travesaños que unen ambos largueros; la unión de los módulos centrales entre sí, de los or a straight or broken line. Both the side modules and the central modules consist of two stringers intended to be partially driven into the ground and three or more crossbars that join both stringers; the union of the central modules with each other, of the

10 módulos laterales con los módulos centrales y de los módulos laterales entre sí, se realiza mediante medios de unión articulados entre los largueros de los mencionados módulos. Al menos uno de los travesaños de cada uno de los módulos dispone de medios para ahuyentar a animales. 10 lateral modules with the central modules and the lateral modules with each other, is realized by means of articulated connection between the stringers of the mentioned modules. At least one of the crossbars of each of the modules has means to scare away animals.

Preferred embodiments of the invention

Las figuras 1 – 3 muestran dos de las posibles realizaciones del protector modular plegable para plantas (1), que es el objeto de la presente invención, en la que una vez desplegado su 30 planta adopta la forma de un cuadrado, figuras 1 y 2, o de un triángulo, figura 3. Figures 1 - 3 show two of the possible embodiments of the modular folding plant protector (1), which is the object of the present invention, in which once its plant is deployed it takes the form of a square, figures 1 and 2 , or of a triangle, figure 3.

El protector modular plegable para plantas (1) comprende tres o más módulos dependiendo de las necesidades, uno o más módulos centrales (2) y dos módulos laterales (3) que se disponen unos junto a otros pudiendo formar su planta una figura abierta, un polígono, o una The modular folding protector for plants (1) comprises three or more modules depending on the needs, one or more central modules (2) and two side modules (3) that are arranged next to each other and can form an open figure, a polygon, or a

35 línea recta o quebrada. 35 straight or broken line.

Cada uno de los citados módulos está compuesto por dos largueros (4) y tres o más travesaños (5) que unen dichos largueros (4). La unión de los distintos módulos entre si se realiza mediante medios de unión articulados dispuestos en los largueros, estos medios de unión pueden ser goznes (6), bisagras, gazas o cualquiera de los herrajes existentes en el Each of the aforementioned modules is composed of two stringers (4) and three or more crossbars (5) joining said stringers (4). The joining of the different modules to each other is done by means of articulated joining arranged in the stringers, these joining means can be hinges (6), hinges, gauges or any of the existing hardware in the

10 una protección contra los herbívoros impidiendo su acceso a la planta o a las semillas, pero, además, al menos uno de los largueros de cada uno de los módulos dispone de medios para ahuyentar a animales. Estos medios para ahuyentar animales pueden comprender una pluralidad de púas repartidas uniformemente en cada larguero. Dichas púas se proyectan radialmente respecto al eje longitudinal del travesaño, si su tamaño es pequeño el animal solo 10 a protection against herbivores preventing their access to the plant or seeds, but, in addition, at least one of the stringers of each of the modules has means to scare away animals. These means for driving away animals may comprise a plurality of barbs evenly distributed on each stringer. These spikes project radially with respect to the longitudinal axis of the crossbar, if its size is small the animal only
