Description

FLOR ARTIFICIAL  ARTIFICIAL FLOWER
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN  OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención, tal y como se expresa en el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva, se refiere a una flor artificial cuya finalidad esencial consiste en posibilitar la expansión del perfume hacia el ambiente directamente desde los pétalos de la propia flor artificial, de manera que dichos pétalos se encuentran impregnados por capilaridad de un liquido que en las flores artificiales del estado de la técnica bien se pulveriza desde un envase independiente o bien se transmite al ambiente desde la propia flor pero mediante un depósito que la acompaña y que incluye algún tipo de difusor de aroma.  The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to an artificial flower whose essential purpose is to enable the expansion of the perfume into the environment directly from the petals of the artificial flower itself, so that said petals are impregnated by capillarity of a liquid that in artificial flowers of the state of the art is either sprayed from an independent container or transmitted to the environment from the flower itself but by means of a tank that accompanies it and that includes some type of diffuser of aroma
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Son conocidas las flores artificiales que incluyen una o varias flores artificiales, piezas de unión entre flor y tallo, alambre o alambres que acompañan al tallo para dar la disposición deseada y también floreros o recipientes análogos donde se encuentra integrada la o las flores artificiales.  Artificial flowers are known that include one or more artificial flowers, pieces of union between flower and stem, wire or wires that accompany the stem to give the desired arrangement and also vases or similar containers where the artificial flower or flowers are integrated.
En algunas de estas flores artificiales se recurre a pulverizar un perfume sobre los pétalos o estructura general de la flor artificial, dándose aquí el inconveniente de que esa pulverización mantiene el olor de la flor un tiempo relativamente breve, aunque la flor sea de una sustancia, tal como ciertos plásticos, que retenga el perfume de una manera considerable.  In some of these artificial flowers, a perfume is sprayed on the petals or general structure of the artificial flower, giving here the disadvantage that this spray keeps the smell of the flower for a relatively short time, even if the flower is of a substance, such as certain plastics, which retains the perfume in a considerable way.
También se conocen flores artificiales que incorporan algún tipo de difusor de aroma, tal como un depósito con un cordón, una varilla o análogo, dándose en estos casos inconvenientes relativos a una mayor dificultad para dar un aspecto sencillo y natural a la flor que en los casos de flores sobre las que se pulveriza un perfume. También se conocen flores artificiales que pueden transmitir mensajes sonoros, tales como el zumbido de un abejorro, por ejemplo, incluyéndose los componentes electrónicos con gran disimulo y escasísima ocupación de espacio en alguna de las hojas de la flor, tal y como se puede ver en el Modelo de Utilidad con número de solicitud U-8701491, no previéndose en este registro la incorporación de un perfume de la forma en la que lo hace la presente invención . Artificial flowers are also known that incorporate some type of aroma diffuser, such as a deposit with a cord, a rod or the like, giving in these cases inconveniences related to a greater difficulty in giving the flower a simple and natural appearance than in cases of flowers on which a perfume is sprayed. Artificial flowers are also known that can transmit sound messages, such as the buzzing of a bumblebee, for example, including electronic components with great dissimulation and very little occupation of space in any of the leaves of the flower, as can be seen in the Utility Model with application number U-8701491, not including in this register the incorporation of a perfume in the manner in which the present invention does.
No conocemos en el estado actual de la técnica ninguna flor artificial que tenga sus pétalos realizados en un material textil, cuyo tejido permita la transmisión por capilaridad de un líquido desde un cordón que se encuentra introducido, al menos en parte, en un depósito de esencia, según lo hace la flor artificial de la presente invención.  We do not know in the current state of the art any artificial flower that has its petals made of a textile material, whose fabric allows the capillary transmission of a liquid from a cord that is introduced, at least in part, in an essence deposit , as does the artificial flower of the present invention.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN  DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Para lograr los objetivos y evitar los inconvenientes indicados en anteriores apartados, la invención consiste en una flor artificial que cuenta, además de con la propia flor artificial, con una pieza de unión flor-tallo, un tallo, un alambre que acompaña al tallo, y opcionalmente un florero.  In order to achieve the objectives and avoid the inconveniences indicated in previous sections, the invention consists of an artificial flower that has, in addition to the artificial flower itself, a piece of flower-stem, a stem, a wire that accompanies the stem, and optionally a vase.
Novedosamente, según la invención, la flor artificial de la misma se caracteriza por tener sus pétalos realizados en un material textil cuyo tejido permite la transmisión por capilaridad de un líquido desde un cordón que se encuentra introducido en un depósito de esencia.  Novelly, according to the invention, the artificial flower thereof is characterized by having its petals made of a textile material whose fabric allows the transmission by capillarity of a liquid from a cord that is inserted into an essence tank.
Según una realización de la invención, la flor artificial de la misma incluye una cánula de recarga constituida mediante un tubo hueco abierto por sus dos extremos libres y que se extiende desde una altura inferior en el interior del depósito de esencia hasta una altura que llega a un primer orificio de una tapa que el florero tiene en proximidad de su embocadura. According to an embodiment of the invention, the artificial flower thereof includes a recharge cannula constituted by a hollow tube opened by its two free ends and extending from a lower height inside the essence reservoir to a height that it reaches a first hole of a lid that the vase has in close proximity to its mouth.
Además, en esa realización preferente de la invención, la mencionada tapa, aparte del referido primer orificio, tiene un segundo orificio para salida y entrada de aire, asi como un tercer orificio para el paso del tallo de la flor .  In addition, in that preferred embodiment of the invention, said cover, apart from said first hole, has a second hole for air outlet and inlet, as well as a third hole for the passage of the flower stem.
En otra realización preferente, los orificios mencionados se sitúan en la propia tapa del depósito de esencia, de manera que la unidad de flor es independiente de cualquier otro soporte o recipiente, en este caso el florero, haciendo más versátil su utilización y/o aplicación .  In another preferred embodiment, the mentioned holes are placed in the essence tank lid itself, so that the flower unit is independent of any other support or container, in this case the vase, making its use and / or application more versatile .
Tanto las realizaciones más generales desarrolladas como otras más concretas pueden presentar el referido cordón fabricado mediante un trenzado de microfibras de poliéster o cualquier otro material.  Both the more general developed and other more concrete embodiments can present the aforementioned cord manufactured by braiding polyester microfibers or any other material.
Además, en las realizaciones preferentes de la invención, la pieza de unión flor-tallo es un tubo hueco abierto por sus dos extremos libres, con uno de sus extremos superiores regruesado exteriormente, de manera que su perfil tiene forma de "T".  In addition, in the preferred embodiments of the invention, the flower-stem joint is a hollow tube open at its two free ends, with one of its upper ends externally returned, so that its profile is "T" shaped.
Además, el aludido perfil en forma de "T" cuenta con una abertura lateral que comunica con el referido hueco de la "T" y que se dimensiona para posibilitar el paso del cordón .  In addition, the aforementioned "T" shaped profile has a lateral opening that communicates with the said "T" recess and is sized to allow the passage of the cord.
Con la estructura que se ha descrito, la flor artificial de la presente invención tiene la ventaja principal de que posibilita la transmisión al ambiente de aromas mediante los propios pétalos de la flor y por un tiempo mucho más prolongado al que lo hacen los pétalos de flores artificiales sobre los que se pulveriza una esencia. Además, la flor de la invención resulta ventajosa respecto de las flores artificiales con perfume en depósito independiente, al encontrarse localizado el aroma sobre la zona que naturalmente presenta esta función en las flores. With the structure described above, the artificial flower of the present invention has the main advantage that it enables the transmission of aromas to the environment through the flower's own petals and for a much longer time than the flower petals do artificial on which an essence is pulverized. In addition, the flower of the invention is advantageous with respect to artificial flowers with perfume in an independent deposit, since the aroma is located on the area that naturally has this function in the flowers.
Otras ventajas de la invención son su sencillez de realización, su bajo coste económico y la facilidad con que permite diversos aspectos estéticos.  Other advantages of the invention are its simplicity of implementation, its low economic cost and the ease with which it allows various aesthetic aspects.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE UN EJEMPLO DE REALIZACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN  DESCRIPTION OF AN EXAMPLE OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
Seguidamente se realiza una descripción de un ejemplo de la invención haciendo alusión a las referencias de las figuras .  Next, a description of an example of the invention is made by referring to the references of the figures.
En primer lugar se facilita un listado de los componentes de la realización que se va a describir.  First, a list of the components of the embodiment to be described is provided.

11: Piezas de material absorbente.  11: Pieces of absorbent material.
El florero 8 puede ser igual que el que se emplea para una flor natural pero en su interior dispondrá de un depósito de esencia 1 transmisora de perfume. Este florero 8 tiene una tapa con tres orificios, uno para la entrada del tallo de la flor y facilitar el contacto con la esencia mediante el cordón 2, y otro para introducir la pajita de recarga mediante la que se va recargando la esencia cuando ésta se haya evaporado, existiendo además otro orificio para que salga aire en correspondencia con el volumen de esencia introducido. The vase 8 can be the same as that used for a natural flower, but inside it will have a perfume-transmitting essence tank 1. This vase 8 has a lid with three holes, one for the entry of the flower stem and facilitate contact with the essence by means of the cord 2, and another to introduce the recharge straw through which the essence is recharged when it has evaporated, there is also another hole to let air out in correspondence with the volume of essence introduced.
El cordón 2 unirá físicamente los pétalos de la flor artificial con la esencia, por lo que gracias a la mojabilidad de éste, la esencia pasará del depósito a humedecer los pétalos de la flor 7.  The cord 2 will physically link the petals of the artificial flower with the essence, so thanks to the wettability of the latter, the essence will pass from the reservoir to moisten the petals of the flower 7.
El cordón 2 utilizado será de microfibra, 100 % de poliéster, aunque se podría emplear otro tipo de fibra que demuestre la misma capacidad de absorción o mayor.  The cord 2 used will be microfiber, 100% polyester, although another type of fiber could be used that demonstrates the same or greater absorption capacity.
Respecto al tallo con conducción interna, es igual que los que se emplean en flores artificiales convencionales, por lo que dependiendo del tipo de flor que se quiera conseguir, además del habitual alambre 5 se incluye en su interior el cordón absorbente 2. Las formas superficiales del tallo 3 estarán en función del tipo de flor que se quiera imitar.  Regarding the stem with internal conduction, it is the same as those used in conventional artificial flowers, so depending on the type of flower you want to get, in addition to the usual wire 5, the absorbent cord 2 is included inside. Surface shapes Stem 3 will depend on the type of flower you want to imitate.
Respecto a la pajita o cánula de recarga 4, se trata de un tubo hueco por sus extremos abiertos que permite la igualación de presión entre el interior del depósito de esencia 1 y la presión atmosférica, ya que si no se dispusiera de este elemento la presión en el interior descendería y no dejaría ascender a la esencia por el cordón con la celeridad deseada.  With respect to the straw or recharge cannula 4, it is a hollow tube at its open ends that allows the pressure equalization between the inside of the essence tank 1 and the atmospheric pressure, since if this element is not available the pressure inside it would descend and not let the essence ascend by the cord with the desired speed.
La longitud de la pajita 4 depende además de los elementos estructurales y decorativos que se den en la flor, ya que su función principal, aparte de esa igualación de presiones consiste en recargar el depósito de esencia 1, con lo que se evita la necesidad de alterar el orden de los distintos elementos decorativos que forman parte del jarrón o florero 8.  The length of the straw 4 also depends on the structural and decorative elements that occur in the flower, since its main function, apart from that equalization of pressures, consists in recharging the essence tank 1, which avoids the need for alter the order of the different decorative elements that are part of the vase or vase 8.
Respecto al alambre 5, es el que da consistencia y permite moldear la forma del tallo de la flor para que éste mantenga la forma deseada. La flor 7 se hace de un tejido que permite que la esencia se expanda por capilaridad, ya sea mediante fibras sintéticas o naturales, de manera que valdrían las flores que se hacen actualmente con tela, seda o terciopelo, mientras que las de silicona no valdrían. Regarding wire 5, it is the one that gives consistency and allows the shape of the flower stem to be shaped so that it maintains the desired shape. The flower 7 is made of a fabric that allows the essence to expand by capillarity, either by synthetic or natural fibers, so that the flowers that are currently made with fabric, silk or velvet would be worth, while those of silicone would not be worth .
En el supuesto de emplear flores de este material o cualquier otro de similares características, que no permita una buena absorción o dispersión de la esencia, se aplicarán pequeñas piezas o trozos de material poroso y absorbente 11, por ejemplo tela, que en contacto con el cordón 2, permitirán una buena dispersión de la esencia.  In the case of using flowers of this material or any other of similar characteristics, which does not allow a good absorption or dispersion of the essence, small pieces or pieces of porous and absorbent material 11, for example cloth, will be applied, which in contact with the Cord 2, will allow a good dispersion of the essence.
Estas piezas 11 pueden materializarse en forma de pétalo o de cualquier otra parte de constitutiva de la flor .  These pieces 11 can be materialized in the form of a petal or any other part constitutive of the flower.
El capullo de la flor que se encuentra unido al tallo lo hace en virtud de una pieza cilindrica que atraviesa el centro del capullo y se inserta en el tallo dándole consistencia a la flor, es decir mediante la pieza de unión flor-tallo referenciada como 6 en las figuras, siendo una pieza que no quedará a la vista del usuario y que tiene una forma de "T", tal y como se ve en la figura 5.  The flower bud that is attached to the stem does so by virtue of a cylindrical piece that crosses the center of the bud and is inserted into the stem giving consistency to the flower, that is, by means of the flower-stem joint piece referenced as 6 in the figures, being a piece that will not be visible to the user and that has a "T" shape, as seen in figure 5.
Las pruebas del presente ejemplo se han efectuado con cordón trenzado 100 % microfibra de poliéster dando como resultado la ascensión en columna de la esencia hasta 47 cm de altura, más que suficiente para la realización de cualquier tipo de flor artificial. El grosor del cordón utilizado ha sido de 3,5 mm de diámetro aunque éste puede reducirse drásticamente hasta los 2 mm, al ceder fácilmente por compresión este cordón 2.  The tests of the present example have been carried out with 100% polyester microfiber braided cord, resulting in the ascension in column of the essence up to 47 cm high, more than enough for the realization of any type of artificial flower. The thickness of the cord used has been 3.5 mm in diameter although it can be drastically reduced to 2 mm, by easily yielding this cord 2 by compression.
El tallo 3 que se ha utilizado tiene un diámetro interno de 3 mm y uno externo de 4 mm que en un proceso posterior puede retocarse para simular diversas flores naturales, tales como rosas, tulipanes u otras, pudiendo prescindirse o no del alambre convencional 5 también según distintas realizaciones. The stem 3 that has been used has an internal diameter of 3 mm and an external diameter of 4 mm that in a subsequent process can be retouched to simulate various natural flowers, such as roses, tulips or others, being able to whether or not the conventional wire 5 is dispensed with also according to different embodiments.
La cápsula que se emplea como depósito de esencia 1 se aprecia en la figura 4 y es un depósito convencional, con un diámetro exterior de 18 mm y uno interior de 16 mm, siendo su altura 48 mm. Tanto este depósito 1 como la tapa con orificios del florero 8 se realizan con PVC, siendo el grosor de la referida tapa de 0,5 mm. Las medidas del depósito de esencia pueden variar según necesidad.  The capsule that is used as an essence tank 1 can be seen in Figure 4 and is a conventional tank, with an outer diameter of 18 mm and an inner diameter of 16 mm, its height being 48 mm. Both this tank 1 and the lid with holes of the vase 8 are made with PVC, the thickness of said lid being 0.5 mm. The measures of the essence deposit may vary according to need.
En la figura 11, apreciamos una realización preferente, en la que el propio depósito de esencia 1 incorpora una tapa 9, donde se insertan directamente, al menos el tallo 3 y la cánula de recarga 4 y se dispone opcionalmente un orificio de aireación 10, que permite regular la entrada y salida de aire de su interior, para nivelar la presión interior respecto de la atmosférica.  In Fig. 11, we appreciate a preferred embodiment, in which the essence tank 1 itself incorporates a lid 9, where at least the stem 3 and the recharge cannula 4 are inserted directly and an aeration hole 10 is optionally arranged, that allows to regulate the entrance and exit of air of its interior, to level the internal pressure with respect to the atmospheric one.
Esta realización, constituye la más ventajosa, pues independiza la flor de cualquier otro soporte o envase complementario, como el mencionado florero, no haciendo necesaria su utilización.  This embodiment is the most advantageous, since it separates the flower from any other support or complementary container, such as the aforementioned vase, not making its use necessary.
La pieza de unión 6 tiene un engrosamiento superior para evitar que una vez colocada los pétalos se puedan deslizar perdiéndose la unión entre partes de la flor .  The connecting piece 6 has a thickening above to avoid that once placed the petals can slide losing the union between parts of the flower.
En función del tipo de flor a simular, dicha pieza 6 se puede decorar con estambres artificiales, aunque en el caso de la rosa no es necesario, ya que la propia disposición de los pétalos en esta flor evitan que sea vea dicha pieza de unión 6.  Depending on the type of flower to simulate, said piece 6 can be decorated with artificial stamens, although in the case of the rose it is not necessary, since the very arrangement of the petals on this flower prevents it from being seen said union piece 6 .
En algunos tipos de flor y en función de su morfología floral a imitar, es posible evitar el uso de esta pieza de unión 6. Puede darse el uso de la pieza de unión flor-tallo sin necesidad de tener la apertura lateral de la pieza con perfil en forma de T (en el caso que no haya una estrangulación del cordón de material absorbente ya que la función de la abertura lateral radica en evitar la estrangulación para que se produzca la trasmisión de esencia) . In some types of flower and depending on its floral morphology to be imitated, it is possible to avoid the use of this connecting piece 6. The use of the flower-stem joint can be used without having the lateral opening of the piece with T-shaped profile (in the case that there is no strangulation of the absorbent material cord since the function of the lateral opening lies in preventing the strangulation so that the essence transmission occurs).
Dependiendo de la forma a poner en contacto con el cordón de microfibra que transmite la esencia a los pétalos de la flor, se realizará una conexión mediante nudo, puntos de cosido o adhesivo, pudiendo introducir el cordón 2 previamente a un anudado por un orificio lateral existente en la pieza 6, tal y como se ve en la figura 6, para lo cual la pieza 6 tiene el orificio lateral que se ve en la figura 5, además de las dos aberturas extremas. En caso de que la pieza 6 carezca del referido orificio lateral, se puede introducir un trozo de tela en el interior para que la tela en contacto con el cordón 2 encuentre contacto con los pétalos textiles de la flor 7 consiguiendo asi la requerida transmisión por capilaridad del liquido constituyente del perfume, como por ejemplo la figura 7 y las figuras 8 y 9, teniendo en estas dos últimas figuras la pieza 6 un rebaje perimétrico en la zona correspondiente a las ramas laterales de la "T".  Depending on the form to be put in contact with the microfiber cord that transmits the essence to the petals of the flower, a connection will be made by knot, sewing or adhesive points, and the cord 2 can be introduced previously to a knotted by a side hole existing in piece 6, as seen in figure 6, for which part 6 has the side hole seen in figure 5, in addition to the two extreme openings. If the piece 6 lacks the aforementioned side hole, a piece of cloth can be introduced inside so that the fabric in contact with the cord 2 finds contact with the flower petals of the flower 7 thus achieving the required capillary transmission of the constituent liquid of the perfume, such as Figure 7 and Figures 8 and 9, the latter part having part 6 in a perimeter recess in the area corresponding to the lateral branches of the "T".
El punto de contacto entre el cordón de microfibra de poliéster y los pétalos de la flor artificial se pueden hacer de distintas maneras:  The point of contact between the polyester microfiber cord and the petals of the artificial flower can be done in different ways:
Mediante un nudo en la parte superior que mantenga el extremo del cordón en contacto con los pétalos, evitando que el cordón se deslice hacia abajo perdiendo el contacto con éstos.  Through a knot in the upper part that keeps the end of the cord in contact with the petals, preventing the cord from sliding down losing contact with them.
- Por unión al coser el extremo del cordón a los pétalos en la parte central del capullo de la flor. Por adhesión del extremo del cordón gracias a la utilización de un adhesivo manteniendo siempre en contacto el cordón con los pétalos de tela. - By joining when sewing the end of the cord to the petals in the central part of the flower bud. By adhesion of the end of the cord thanks to the use of an adhesive always keeping the cord in contact with the fabric petals.
Mediante la introducción de un trozo de tela en el interior del cilindro de forma que la tela esté en contacto con el cordón de microfibra en el interior del cilindro y por la parte exterior se encuentre en contacto con los pétalos, consiguiendo por capilaridad que los pétalos se humedezcan de esencia . By introducing a piece of fabric inside the cylinder so that the fabric is in contact with the microfiber cord inside the cylinder and on the outside it is in contact with the petals, getting capillarity that the petals They get wet with essence.
Otro modo de unión seria mediante la utilización de la pieza de unión entre capullo y tallo con forma de embudo, de modo que las hojas por la parte inferior tendrían un extremo en el interior de éste y gracias a un nudo en el extremo del cordón de microfibra, las hojas estarían siendo presionadas contra la pared del embudo, evitando que éstas se escapen y estando en contacto directo con el cordón, lo que permite el paso de la esencia a las hojas para una mayor evaporación del fluido.  Another way of joining would be through the use of the funnel-shaped joint between the cocoon and stem, so that the leaves at the bottom would have an end inside the funnel and thanks to a knot at the end of the cord microfiber, the sheets would be pressed against the funnel wall, preventing them from escaping and being in direct contact with the cord, allowing the essence to pass to the sheets for greater evaporation of the fluid.
Por simple contacto del material de microfibra con la corola de la flor o por contacto del cordón de microfibra con el material absorbente añadido en flores con pétalos que no permitan la absorción ni dispersión de esencias.  By simple contact of the microfiber material with the flower corolla or by contact of the microfiber cord with the absorbent material added in flowers with petals that do not allow the absorption or dispersion of essences.
