Sector técnico de la invención. - La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo odorífico que entre otros usos posibles, encuentra particular aplicación para dotar de olor o fragancia a flores y plantas.Technical sector of the invention. - The present invention relates to an odorific device that, among other possible uses, finds particular application for providing flowers and plants with an odor or fragrance.
Estado de la técnica. -State of the art -
Los actuales avances en el campo de la floricultura están favoreciendo que la producción mundial de flores cultivadas artificialmente esté llegando a cotas muy elevadas. Estos avances, así como las novedosas técnicas de gestión de las plantaciones e invernaderos favorecen igualmente la obtención de flores que gozan de gran tama¬ ño y belleza ornamental.Current advances in the field of floriculture are favoring that the world production of artificially grown flowers is reaching very high levels. These developments, as well as innovative management techniques plantations and greenhouses also favor the production of flowers enjoying oversized ¬ no and ornamental beauty.
No obstante, es sabido que cuanto mayor tamaño y mejor apariencia presenta la flor, menos aroma desprende, lo cual representa actualmente un problema de gran magni¬ tud.However, it is known that the larger size and better appearance presenting flower, less flavor emerges, which currently represents a problem of great magni ¬ tude.
Ha habido numerosos intentos por solucionar este problema, todos ellos fallidos hasta el presente.There have been numerous attempts to solve this problem, all of them failed until now.
Así, se ha intentado aplicar directamente un perfu¬ me esencial o sintético, inyectándolo al tallo, pedúncu¬ lo, hojas o pétalos de la flor, con el resultado de que en cualquier caso, la flor muere, por pequeña que sea la dosis de perfume aplicada, envenenando a la planta en cuanto acceden a sus tejidos. Existen perfumes sintéticos parcialmente solubles en agua o emulsionables que aparentemente no presentan este inconveniente, pero su empleo se ha mostrado igual - mente mviable, por cuanto que requieren un tensoactivo que también ataca mortalmente a la flor o tallo, incluso en el caso de que el tensoactivo esté constituido por liposomas .Thus, it has attempted to directly apply a perfu ¬ me essential or synthetic, injecting a stem, pedúncu ¬ the leaves or flower petals, with the result that in any case, the die flower, no matter how small the dose of applied perfume, poisoning the plant as soon as they access their tissues. There are synthetic perfumes partially soluble in water or emulsifiable that apparently do not present this inconvenience, but their use has been equally movable, since they require a surfactant that also mortally attacks the flower or stem, even in the case that the Surfactant consists of liposomes.
Posteriormente se ha intentado la alternativa de revestir el tallo con una substancia que impidiera el acceso del perfume a los tejidos de la planta, dotada por su cara externa del perfume deseado. No obstante, los propios efluvios y vapores desprendidos por el perfume llegan a los pétalos de la flor, manchándolos, con lo que ésta muere igualmente al cabo de unos pocos días, menos de los que está previsto que dure la flor como motivo ornamental .Subsequently, the alternative of coating the stem with a substance that prevented the access of the perfume to the tissues of the plant, endowed by its external face with the desired perfume, has been attempted. However, the effluviums themselves and vapors released by the perfume reach the petals of the flower, staining them, so that it also dies after a few days, less than those that the flower is expected to last as an ornamental motif.
También se ha intentado dotar a los abonos y al agua de riego de aditivos que proporcionen olor a la planta, aunque en ambos casos sin éxito.Attempts have also been made to provide fertilizers and irrigation water with additives that provide a smell to the plant, although in both cases without success.
Tras todos estos intentos fallidos, la obtención de flores cultivadas que sean grandes, bellas y de larga vida y al propio tiempo olorosas sigue siendo hoy en día una notoria carencia constatada en la técnica, para cuya solución se siguen empleando infructuosamente muchos recursos .After all these failed attempts, obtaining cultivated flowers that are large, beautiful and long-lived and at the same time smelly remains a notable lack of evidence in the technique, for which many resources are still unsuccessfully used.
La presente invención tiene por finalidad solucionar esta carencia, proporcionando un dispositivo que permita dotar de olor, durante un periodo de tiempo deseado, a las flores de cualquier tipo y tamaño, de especial interés en el caso de flores ornamentales de gran tamaño, belleza y larga vida.The purpose of the present invention is to solve this lack by providing a device that allow to provide odor, for a desired period of time, to flowers of any type and size, of special interest in the case of ornamental flowers of great size, beauty and long life.

Descripción detallada de los dibujos . - En dichos dibujos se puede apreciar la constitución y el modo de funcionamiento del dispositivo odorífico 1 según la invención, previsto para reforzar el olor natural de flores ornamentales 9, y que es de particular interés en el caso de grandes flores .Detailed description of the drawings. - In said drawings, the constitution and mode of operation of the odorific device 1 according to the invention, intended to reinforce the natural smell of ornamental flowers 9, and which is of particular interest in the case of large flowers, can be appreciated.
En las Figs . 1 y 2 se ilustra una primera forma de realización del dispositivo odorífico 1 según la presente invención.In Figs. 1 and 2 a first embodiment of the odorific device 1 according to the present invention is illustrated.
Según se puede apreciar en la Fig. 1, el dispositi- vo odorífico 1 adopta la forma de una porción esencialmente laminar, constituida por varias capas 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 y 10. Un núcleo laminar 10 está adherido por una de sus caras a la primera cara de un soporte laminar 3, merced a la interposición de una primera capa de materia adhe- rente 5, en tanto que por su otra cara, el núcleo laminar 10 está protegido con una primera lámina protectora 7, preferentemente siliconada. El soporte laminar 3 tiene - 7 - por su segunda cara una segunda capa de material adheren- te 4, igualmente recubierta por una segunda lámina protectora 6.As can be seen in Fig. 1, the odorific device 1 takes the form of an essentially laminar portion, consisting of several layers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10. A laminar core 10 is adhered by one of its faces on the first face of a laminar support 3, thanks to the interposition of a first layer of adherent material 5, while on its other side, the laminar core 10 is protected with a first protective sheet 7, preferably siliconized . Laminar support 3 has - 7 - on its second face a second layer of adhesive material 4, also covered by a second protective sheet 6.
El núcleo laminar 10 es preferiblemente de un tejido no tejido de polipropileno, y está impregnado de una substancia olorosa 2 de una esencia cuya fragancia es equivalente al olor natural de la planta o flor 9 a la que se aplica, que queda retenida en el núcleo laminar 10.The laminar core 10 is preferably of a non-woven polypropylene fabric, and is impregnated with an odorous substance 2 of an essence whose fragrance is equivalent to the natural smell of the plant or flower 9 to which it is applied, which is retained in the core laminate 10.
La aplicación del dispositivo odorífico 1 de la primera forma de realización de la invención está ilustrada en la Fig.2 y es como sigue.The application of the odorific device 1 of the first embodiment of the invention is illustrated in Fig. 2 and is as follows.
En primer lugar, se separa la lámina protectora 6 de plástico siliconado que cubre la materia adherente 4 del soporte laminar 3, lo cual deja al descubierto dicha materia adherente 4.First, the silicon plastic protective sheet 6 covering the adherent material 4 is separated from the laminar support 3, which exposes said adherent material 4.
Seguidamente el dispositivo odorífico 1 se adhiere al envés de la hoja 8 de una flor 9, que en el caso que se representa adopta la forma de una rosa, a través del adhesivo 4 que ha quedado al descubierto, en el sentido indicado por la flecha en la Fig. 2.Then the odorific device 1 adheres to the underside of the leaf 8 of a flower 9, which in the case that is represented takes the form of a rose, through the adhesive 4 that has been exposed, in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 2.
Por último, no hay más que extraer la segunda lámina protectora 7, que está en contacto directo con el núcleo laminar 10 impregnado de la substancia olorosa 2, para que los efluvios de ésta comiencen a realizar su efecto odorífico, por lenta evaporación y difusión desde el núcleo laminar 10. Normalmente, unas cuantas gotas de la substancia olorosa 2 bastarán para que, disponiendo el dispositivo odorífico 1 en tan sólo una de las hojas 8 de la flor 9, la fragancia perdure durante todo el tiempo de vida de esta última.Finally, the second protective sheet 7, which is in direct contact with the laminar core 10 impregnated with the odorous substance 2, must be removed, so that the effluents of the latter begin to perform their odorous effect, by slow evaporation and diffusion from the laminar core 10. Normally, a few drops of the odorous substance 2 will suffice so that, by arranging the odorific device 1 on only one of the leaves 8 of the flower 9, the fragrance will last throughout the lifetime of the latter.
En la Fig. 2 se puede apreciar que la configuración del dispositivo odorífico 1 es semejante a la de la hoja 8 de la flor 9 en la que se aplica el dispositivo. Ello permite dotar al dispositivo odorífico 1 de la presente invención, además de su ocultación por estar en el envés de la ho a 8, de un cierto grado de camuflaje, conducente a que el dispositivo odorífico 1 pase totalmente desaper- cibido, lo cual colabora a dar la sensación de que la fragancia es la natural de la flor 9.In Fig. 2 it can be seen that the configuration of the odorific device 1 is similar to that of the leaf 8 of the flower 9 in which the device is applied. This makes it possible to provide the odorific device 1 of the present invention, in addition to its concealment because it is on the underside of the ho 8, of a certain degree of camouflage, leading to the odorific device 1 going completely unnoticed, which helps to give the feeling that the fragrance is the natural one of the flower 9.
En las Figs . 3 y 4 se ilustra una segunda forma de realización del dispositivo odorífico 1 según la presente invención.In Figs. 3 and 4 a second embodiment of the odorific device 1 according to the present invention is illustrated.
En esta segunda forma de realización, el dispositivo odorífico 1 está constituido por una cápsula 12 que encierra herméticamente una substancia olorosa 2, que tiene una fragancia que corresponde a la natural de la flor 9 en cuestión 1.In this second embodiment, the odorific device 1 is constituted by a capsule 12 that tightly encloses an odorous substance 2, which has a fragrance that corresponds to the natural one of the flower 9 in question 1.
La cápsula 12 es preferiblemente de gelatina blanda y está recubierta externamente por una funda 13 de un tejido no tejido de polipropileno, el cual es un material poroso y permeable al aire. El dispositivo de esta segunda forma de realización es operativo al romper o abrir la cápsula 12, por ejemplo por rotura de su superficie externa, producida por simple presión dactilar, pinchado o corte, de modo que la subs- tancia olorosa 2 escapa de la cápsula 12, impregnando la funda 13 y siendo liberada al aire ambiente circundante, el cual es perfumado con el aroma o fragancia de la flor 9 a la cual se aplica el dispositivo 1 de la invención.The capsule 12 is preferably soft gelatin and is externally coated by a sheath 13 of a non-woven polypropylene fabric, which is a porous and air-permeable material. The device of this second embodiment is operative by breaking or opening the capsule 12, for example by breaking its external surface, produced by simple finger pressing, puncturing or cutting, so that the odorous substance 2 escapes from the capsule 12, impregnating the cover 13 and being released into the surrounding ambient air, which is scented with the aroma or fragrance of the flower 9 to which the device 1 of the invention is applied.
Preferiblemente, el dispositivo tiene la configuración de una hoja 8 de la flor 9 en que se aplica. La aplicación puede realizarse colgando el dispositivo del tallo 15 de la flor 9, por medio de una brida 14 de tipo conocido, solidaria de un extremo de la funda 13.Preferably, the device has the configuration of a leaf 8 of the flower 9 in which it is applied. The application can be carried out by hanging the device from the stem 15 of the flower 9, by means of a flange 14 of known type, integral with one end of the sheath 13.
En la Fig. 5 se ilustra particularmente una tercera forma de realización del dispositivo odorífico 1 según la presente invención, que difiere de la primera forma de realización de las Figs . 1 y 2 en que el núcleo laminar 10 está exento del soporte laminar 3 y de la materia adherente 4 y, por el contrario, está dotado de un sobre protector 11 que lo recubre y de una brida 14 solidaria de un extremo del núcleo laminar 10.In Fig. 5 a third embodiment of the odorific device 1 according to the present invention is particularly illustrated, which differs from the first embodiment of Figs. 1 and 2 in which the laminar core 10 is free of the laminar support 3 and the adherent material 4 and, on the contrary, is provided with a protective envelope 11 that covers it and a flange 14 integral with one end of the laminar core 10 .
Al igual que en los dos ejemplos de realización precedentes, el dispositivo 1 tiene la configuración de una hoja 8 de la flor 9 en que se aplica.As in the two preceding embodiments, the device 1 has the configuration of a leaf 8 of the flower 9 in which it is applied.
La aplicación del dispositivo 1 según esta tercera forma de realización se realiza igualmente colgando el dispositivo 1 del tallo 15 de la flor 9, por medio de una brida 14 de tipo conocido, solidaria de un extremo de la - 10 - funda 13, y rasgando o abriendo a continuación el sobre, lo cual permite la liberación al ambiente de la substancia olorosa 2 (Fig. 6)The application of the device 1 according to this third embodiment is also carried out by hanging the device 1 from the stem 15 of the flower 9, by means of a flange 14 of known type, integral with one end of the - 10 - cover 13, and then tearing or opening the envelope, which allows the release of the odorous substance 2 into the environment (Fig. 6)
Descrita suficientemente la naturaleza de la presente invención, así como la manera de ponerla en práctica, se hace constar que todo cuanto no altere, cambie o modifique su principio fundamental, puede quedar sometido a variaciones de detalle.Describing sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is noted that everything that does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle may be subject to variations in detail.
En este sentido, es de notar que el número de capas de la porción laminar que constituye el dispositivo 1 de la presente invención puede ser diferente del explicado a modo de ejemplo, a condición de que existan las capas esenciales para la funcionalidad del dispositivo de acuerdo con la invención.In this regard, it is to be noted that the number of layers of the laminar portion constituting the device 1 of the present invention may be different from that explained by way of example, provided that there are the layers essential for the functionality of the device according to with the invention
