ES2264895A1 - Biodegradable mesh for vegetation, consists of textile with multiple yarns, staples or narrow fibers obtained from fabrics of paper or non-woven cellulose fabric - Google Patents

Abstract

The biodegradable mesh consists of textile (1) with multiple yarns, staples or narrow fabrics (11) obtained from fibers of paper or non-woven cellulose fabric. The textile comprises several holes (12) through which vegetation is allowed to grow. The yarns, staples, or narrow fabrics comprise dyed segments (11a) for defining signs (2).

Description

Signaling element

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to an element of signaling, of the type of the type that present a flexible laminar configuration bearing the motives of signaling.

Background of the invention

Currently in frequent use of provisional signaling elements, for example in areas of works, said signaling elements being formed by a flexible sheet of plastic material on which they are printed the reasons for the signage in question.

This type of signaling elements, due, on the one hand, to its constitution in plastic material and, on the other part, to continued exposure to atmospheric agents, due to its use outdoors, deteriorate with a certain speed, being necessary to renew and eliminate of those that are damaged by use.

This elimination is a problem, since the plastic material is not biodegradable and therefore it is precise move the damaged signaling elements to a point of selective collection for recycling or to a specialized company in treatment of this type of materials. Having the account that these operations involve added costs, it is also often these unusable signaling elements go away accumulating in the stores of the companies that use them, constituting a hindrance, or, in the worst case, thrown into uncontrolled landfills, with the consequent visual and environmental pollution.

Description of the invention

The signaling element subject to this invention, being those with a laminar configuration flexible, it has the particularity of being totally biodegradable, which eliminates the problems caused by the elimination of those signaling elements formed in plastic materials

According to the invention, this element of signaling consists of a mesh or biodegradable tissue made up of a plurality of threads, wicks or ribbons that can be made of paper and / or a non-woven cellulose fabric and that are interwoven or interwoven; presenting said threads, wicks or colored portions ribbons, in all or part of their length, for define the reasons corresponding to a given signaling.

The threads, wicks or tapes that conform the mesh or fabric define each other intermediate holes of any shape and size, being able to present said mesh or fabric a greater or lesser density.

In order to provide the mesh or fabric adequate resistance and duration, taking into account that its use will generally be outdoors, said mesh or fabric It is provided with a treatment with natural waxes and / or products of surface treatment, also biodegradable.

It is also planned that the fabric or mesh conforming of the signaling element may be provided with a treatment with fungicides and bactericides in order to prevent is attacked by insects or microorganisms and a treatment with flame retardant products

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive a set of drawings in which, for illustrative purposes and not limiting, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows a view an example of embodiment of the signaling element object of the invention with an enlarged detail of a portion thereof.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In the exemplary embodiment shown in the attached figure, the signaling element is constituted by a biodegradable mesh or fabric (1) formed by a plurality of paper wicks (11), interwoven or interwoven, as look at the enlarged detail, and that define each other a plurality of holes (12).

Said paper wicks (11) have some colored portions (11a) that affect, in the example shown, a part of its length and that define in the mesh or fabric (1) the reason (2) to signal.

The fabric or mesh (1) is provided with a treatment with natural waxes and / or treatment products of surfaces to increase its resistance, being able to incorporate additionally treatments with fungicidal products and bactericides, and with flame retardant products.

Once nature is sufficiently described of the invention, as well as a preferred embodiment, for the appropriate purposes that the materials, form, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration of the essential features of the invention claimed in continuation.

Claims (5)

Signaling element, of the type that has a flexible laminar configuration bearing the signaling motifs; characterized in that it is constituted by a mesh or biodegradable fabric formed by a plurality of threads, wicks or ribbons (11) of paper and / or a nonwoven fabric of cellulose, interwoven or interwoven, presenting the threads, wicks or ribbons (11) colored portions (11a), in all or part of its length, to define the motifs (2) corresponding to a certain signaling. 2. Element according to claim 1, characterized in that the threads, wicks or ribbons (11) forming the mesh or fabric (1) define intermediate holes (12) of any shape and size. 3. Signaling element according to claim 1, characterized in that the fabric or mesh (1) is provided with a treatment with natural waxes and / or surface treatment products. 4. Signaling element according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the fabric or mesh (1) is provided with a treatment with fungicides and bactericides. 5. Signaling element according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the fabric or mesh (1) is provided with a treatment with flame retardant products.
