FR2987228A1 - Treatment device for treating core of palm tree, has injector/diffuser positionable in core of palm tree, and quick anti-return and anti-drip connector for quick connection with injection material for allowing authorized treatments for tree - Google Patents

Abstract

The device has an injector/diffuser (1) positionable in the core of a palm tree, where the injector/diffuser is connected to a secure connector (3) locked with a key and fixed on the core of the treated palm tree. A quick anti-return and anti-drip connector allows a quick connection with an injection material for allowing all authorized treatments for the palm tree, where the treatments take place at the foot of the treated palm tree. A PVC or polyethylene capillary tube (2) is used to make specific treatment while preserving the aesthetics of the palm tree.

Description

The present invention relates to a device called "PalmProtect'4D system" to enable effective treatment heart plant and especially palm. Traditionally the treatment of trees by spraying insecticides and fungicides, ... requires their ascent. This generates risks of falling, pollution and contamination. Developed to fight against plant pests and more particularly in the fight against Rynchophorus Ferrugineus (Palm Weevil), the "PalmProtect'4D" system consists of placing a low pressure injector / diffuser (1) in the heart of the foliar bouquet of palm trees. closer to their vegetative bud. This system can also be adapted to any other plant requiring treatment by spreading or dipping without intervention in height and in a completely secure manner. The installation of one or more injectors at the level of the terminal bud of a plant makes it possible to optimize the treatments applied, to limit the quantities of phytosanitary products used (Insecticides and possibly cryptogamic, phytosanitary or fungal treatments). The attached drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents the device of the invention FIG. 2 represents the device in use situation FIG. 3 represents open secure box Referring to these drawings, this device comprises an injector / diffuser (FIG. 1) which ensures a uniform flow (shower-shaped spray or flow depending on the setting) which is connected to its base, (as a non-limiting example, a smooth exit viper head 4 x 6 mm ) to a capillary tube (2) polyethylene or PVC 4x6mm (by way of non-limiting example) itself fixed and anchored by means of staples and / or fasteners type "Rilsan collars" along the stipe of the palm tree (or along the trunk of a plant) up to a secure box-connector (3) (& Cf. Fig.3), locked by a key lock (6) itself fixed on the palm's trunk ( or the trunk). (See Fig. 1) (By way of nonlimiting example the case will have dimensions of the order of 70mm (h) x 50mm (1) x 40mm (p) (see Fig. 3) and may be identified by a sign bearing the notices of regulatory warnings as well as any contact information of the service provider). The secure case ((3) & Cf Fig. 3) is placed at a height between 1.5 and 2.5 meters in height to avoid any risk of contact with individuals and especially children and any risk vandalism in the communes.

Once opened (see Fig. 3), the secure case shows, as a non-limiting example, a female-female quick connector (5) with a diameter of 6mm with a check valve on which a technician comes connect its injection equipment (4) (type pump, booster, injector, ...) thus performing its treatment without ever coming into contact with the products. (See Fig. 2) Once the treatment is done, the technician then disconnects his equipment, the non-return valve of the female-female quick connector (5) then comes into operation and prevents any flow, thus protecting the operator. The secure housing (3) can then be closed and locked with its lock (6) 45 until the next intervention thus protecting all individuals coming close to the treated plant. The "PalmProtect'4D" system combines aesthetics, efficiency, simplicity, and security, allowing quick and safe interventions. This innovative method therefore no longer requires the systematic rise of the 50 plants by the technicians to carry out heart treatments thus limiting the risk of falling. It still avoids any dispersion in the air of insecticides and phytosanitary products in a concern of respect for the environment, the fauna and the people residing near plants treated under the law "Grenelle 2".

Claims (1)

CLAIMS1 / A device for treating heart plants (and more particularly palm trees) characterized in that it comprises an injector / diffuser positionable at will in the heart of the plant connected to secure connector housing (3) locked (6) fixed on the trunk of treated plants in which is placed a quick connector with non-return anti-drop (5) for quick connection to an injection equipment (4) allowing all authorized treatments. 2 / Apparatus according to claim 1 characterized in that the treatment takes place at the foot of the treated plant 3 / Device according to claims 1 and 2 characterized in that the treatment takes place through a secure box (3) locked key (6) comprising a fast non-return and anti-drip connector (5) accessible at the base of the plant 4 / Device according to claim 1 and characterized in that the treatment is effected by means of an injector / diffuser ( 1) positioned at heart 5 / Device according to the preceding claims and characterized in that the system uses a capillary pipe (2) of small diameter polyethylene or PVC 4x6mm (by way of non-limiting example) in order to perform treatments accurate while preserving the aesthetics of plants.
