Abstract

Tuna wrapping machine in bags for be used when fishing for tuna on boats and that can be protected for preservation on ice, the machine presents in its structure a mobile gate that allows the passage of the tuna by the pressure that its weight makes on it, and a trapdoor for its exit.

Description

Casing machine

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a machine to sheath fish, particularly tuna.

In this way the tunas just be captured, they protect themselves from direct contact with ice and thus Avoid losing quality.

Background of the invention

So far there are no known machines that allow to tune whole tuna on the boat, just be captured

Currently this action is performed manually, It takes at least two operators to carry it out.

With the machine of the invention the action of sheathed tuna can easily be done by just one person.

Description of the invention

The present invention solves the problem of sheath whole tunas in bags quickly and simple.

So far, the sheath of tunas is He performed manually between two crew members of the fishing vessel. While a crewman opens and holds the bag, the second crewman introduces the tuna inside. The usual conditions of wind in the sea often make the bag flutter causing This simple action becomes difficult.

The wrapping machine of the invention solves this problem through a structure that presents a gate mobile that allows the passage of the tuna through the pressure made by the its weight on it, and a hatch for its exit, the structure inside has fasteners for the bags, that fix and position the bags to allow the end of a tab next to the mobile gate, hook the bag to Open it and introduce the tuna.

This way when the tuna comes out of the Enveloping machine does it already covered in the bag.

The exit hatch can be positioned both at the bottom as on a side face of the machine.

The machine of the invention is very easy to use, being able to perform all the action of sheathing a single Operator with simple movements.

Description of the drawings

This descriptive report is complemented, with a set of drawings, illustrative of the preferred example and never Limitations of the invention.

Figure 1 shows an exploded view of the parts that form the sheathing machine of the invention.

Figure 2 shows a view of the machine the invention supported by the refrigerated cellar mouth of Fishing boat storage.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In the present example of the invention, the machine is concreted in an approximately cubic form, in steel stainless, showing fixed side faces (1) while in this exemplary embodiment the upper and lower are mobile and are Specify in the entrance gate (2) and the exit hatch (3).

The upper face is completed in addition to the entrance gate (2), with a cover piece (4) of said gate showing a circular hole (4.1) for the entrance of the tuna that is framed with a ring (4.2), and a rectangular piece of concealment (5) of elements of the wrapping machine.

In this exemplary embodiment, a nice by the tail and rises to place it above the gate input (2). The weight of the beautiful pushes and opens the gate (2) that rotates around a horizontal axis (2.1).

At the opposite end of the turn, the gate (2) continues in a tab (2.2) that is shown at rest at rest vertical.

The pretty one when driving the gate (2), makes said tab (2.2) passes from a vertical position to a position horizontal.

In this movement, the tab (2.2) engages through its lower end a bag and open it to be able to Introduce the pretty one.

The bag opens in its proper size when the gate (2) is completely down. The same movement towards below the pretty one, allow once the head is inside the bag you put all the pretty inside it.

The pretty one is wrapped in the trapdoor (3).

A device (6) pushes the bag set towards the proper position so that the bag located more in the outside can be hooked by the tab (2.2) of the gate superior in the next turn.

The bags are positioned inside the machine the invention in two studs (6.1) which are shown next to the entrance gate (2).

Once the pretty one leaves the machine inside the bag, nothing retains the entrance gate (2) that is in "down" position (vertical) and by means of a device of springs rises returning to its initial position (horizontal). Such form the machine is ready to be able to put and cover a new tuna.

As Figure 2 shows the machine of the invention can be placed in the mouth of the refrigerated warehouse of storage.

Thus using gravity and only with drop the tunas inside the machine come out the part bottom with the bag already placed, the possibility of hooking a gutter system on the bottom of the device allows the beautiful ones can move on their own to the area of the warehouse where they are going to be stowed.

They do not alter the essentiality of this invention variations in materials, shape, size and arrangement of component elements, described in a non-limiting manner, sufficient this one to proceed to its reproduction by an expert.

Claims (1)

1. Bagging machine for tunas in bags characterized in that it shows a mobile gate (2) that allows the tuna to pass through the pressure of its weight on it, and a trapdoor (3) for its exit, the structure inside It has elements (6) for holding the bags, which fix and position the bags to allow the end of a flange (2.2) adjacent to the mobile gate (2), hook the bag to open it and introduce the tuna.
