OBJE TO DE LA INVENCION OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La invención, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un aparato recuperador de presión para pelotas asi como al procedimiento para llevar a cabo dicha recuperación, aportando, a la función a que se destina, varias ventajas y características de novedad que se describirán en detalle más adelante y que suponen una destacable mejora frente a los sistemas actualmente conocidos para el mismo fin .

Más en particular, el objeto de la invención se centra en un aparato cuya finalidad estriba en proporcionar un sistema práctico y sencillo para recuperar pelotas de tenis, pádel o similares que se descartan para su uso al perder la presión que necesitan tener para un uso correcto de las mismas en la práctica del deporte correspondiente para el que fueron creadas, consiguiendo ventajosamente un ahorro tanto económico por la reutilización de dichas pelotas como un beneficio para el medio ambiente al reducir la cantidad de residuos nocivos que supone su desperdicio. More particularly, the object of the invention is focused on an apparatus whose purpose is to provide a practical and simple system for recovering tennis, paddle or similar balls that are discarded for use by losing the pressure they need to have for proper use. of these in the practice of the corresponding sport for which they were created, advantageously achieving both economic savings by the reuse of said balls as a benefit to the environment by reducing the amount of harmful waste that their waste entails.
Paralelamente, un segundo aspecto de la invención concierne al proceso concreto de presurizado que se lleva a cabo con el citado aparato y mediante el cual se consigue la citada recuperación de las pelotas. CAMPO DE APLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN In parallel, a second aspect of the invention concerns the specific pressurization process that is carried out with said apparatus and by means of which said recovery of the balls is achieved. FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION
El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de aparatos y equipos accesorios para el deporte, centrándose particularmente en el ámbito de la recuperación de pelotas de tenis, pádel y similares. The field of application of the present invention is part of the industry sector dedicated to the manufacture of apparatuses and accessory equipment for sport, focusing particularly in the field of recovery of tennis balls, paddle and the like.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Como es sabido, las pelotas de tenis, pádel y algunos otros tipos de pelotas semejantes se presurizan en su fabricación y se envasan en botes presurizados para que no pierdan la presión antes de que lleguen al usuario. As is known, tennis balls, paddle and some other types of similar balls are pressurized in their manufacture and packed in pressurized boats so that they do not lose pressure before they reach the user.
Una vez abiertos dichos botes, las pelotas van perdiendo presión a través de su porosidad por dos factores, primero por la diferencia de presión del interior de la pelota con la atmósfera, y segundo por los golpes recibidos en la práctica del deporte por las raquetas o palas asi como contra el suelo y, en el caso del pádel, contra las paredes acristaladas . Como referencia al estado actual de la técnica, cabe señalar que, si bien se conocen sistemas y aparatos para conseguir recuperar la presión de las pelotas de tenis, al menos por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ningún otro aparato recuperador de presión para pelotas, ni de ninguna otra invención de aplicación similar, cuyas características técnicas, estructurales y constitutivas concretas sean semejantes a las que presenta el aparato que aquí se preconiza, según se reivindica. En dicho sentido, cabe mencionar que, entre los sistemas que se conocen para recuperar la presión de las pelotas, los principales inconvenientes que presentan son, generalmente, que están destinados a un único tipo de pelota, que consisten en complejo mecanismos que precisan de operaciones de agitación y control de las pelotas durante el proceso, que precisan de medios y soportes para llevar a cabo las citadas operaciones de agitación y removido de las pelotas, que precisan de la colocación de las pelotas en moldes previstos en su interior, que o bien consisten en aparatos poco manejables y complejos cuya capacidad no supera las 50 unidades, o en aparatos demasiado pequeños que solo sirven para dos o tres unidades en cada proceso, y sobre todo, que en todos ellos el proceso de recuperación se prolonga durante periodos de tiempo muy extensos que van de cuatro a cinco días. Once these boats have been opened, the balls lose pressure through their porosity due to two factors, first due to the difference in pressure inside the ball with the atmosphere, and secondly due to the blows received in the practice of sport by the rackets or shovels as well as against the ground and, in the case of paddle, against the glazed walls. As a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although systems and devices are known to recover the pressure of the tennis balls, at least by the applicant, the existence of any other pressure recovery apparatus for balls, or of any other invention of similar application, whose specific technical, structural and constitutive characteristics are similar to those presented by the apparatus described herein, as claimed. In that sense, it should be mentioned that, among the systems that are known to recover the pressure of the balls, the main drawbacks they present are, generally, that they are intended for a single type of ball, which consist of complex mechanisms that require operations of agitation and control of the balls during the process, which require means and supports to carry out the aforementioned operations of agitation and removal of the balls, which require the placement of the balls in molds provided therein, which either they consist of little manageable and complex devices whose capacity does not exceed 50 units, or too small devices that only serve two or three units in each process, and above all, that in all of them the recovery process is prolonged for periods of time very extensive ranging from four to five days.
Seria deseable, pues, contar con un nuevo aparato que, consiguiendo el mismo resultado, permita evitar todos y cada uno de los inconvenientes anteriormente señalados, siendo este el objetivo del aparato que preconiza la presente invención. Cabe señalar que de entre los diversos documentos y registros existentes sobre este tipo de dispositivos y aparatos, como lo más cercano al estado actual de la técnica, se conoce por el documento US4046491 (1977) un aparato para preservar pelotas de tenis que, si bien contempla muchas características comunes con el aquí propuesto, en determinados aspectos es sustancialmente distinto, concretamente en los relativo a las características de presurización de las pelotas y, más importante, al procedimiento de presurización, siendo el aquí propuesto notablemente mejorado y novedoso ya que conjuga una mayor presión y una muy baja temperatura, lo cual proporciona un efecto técnico de resultado optimizado. EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN It would be desirable, then, to have a new apparatus that, achieving the same result, allows avoiding each and every one of the above-mentioned drawbacks, this being the objective of the apparatus that the present invention advocates. It should be noted that among the various existing documents and records on this type of devices and devices, as the closest to the current state of the art, is known from document US4046491 (1977) an apparatus for preserving tennis balls which, although it contemplates many common characteristics with the one proposed here, in certain aspects it is substantially different, specifically in those related to the pressurization characteristics of the balls and, more importantly, to the pressurization procedure, the one here being notably proposed improved and novel since it combines higher pressure and a very low temperature, which provides an optimized technical effect. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
Asi, el aparato recuperador de presión para pelotas y el procedimiento para llevarlo a cabo que la presente invención propone se configuran como una destacable novedad dentro de su campo de aplicación, ya que a tenor de su implementación y de forma taxativa se alcanzan satisfactoriamente los objetivos anteriormente señalados como idóneos, estando los detalles caracterizadores que lo hacen posible y que los distinguen, convenientemente recogidos en las reivindicaciones finales que acompañan a la presente memoria descriptiva. Thus, the pressure recovery device for balls and the procedure for carrying it out that the present invention proposes is configured as a remarkable novelty within its field of application, since according to its implementation and in a restrictive way the objectives are satisfactorily achieved. previously indicated as suitable, being the characterizing details that make it possible and that distinguish them, conveniently included in the final claims that accompany the present specification.
De forma concreta, lo que la invención propone, en un primer aspecto de la misma, es un aparato que tiene la función de recuperar pelotas de pádel y de tenis cuando pierden la presión volviendo a introducir la presión original en el interior de la pelota de la misma forma que salió para que vuelva a tener las mismas características que cuando se abrió el bote originariamente . Specifically, what the invention proposes, in a first aspect thereof, is an apparatus that has the function of recovering paddle and tennis balls when they lose pressure by re-introducing the original pressure inside the ball of the same way it came out so that it has the same characteristics as when the boat was originally opened.
Para ello el aparato preconizado se configura como un depósito o recipiente que cuenta con medios para introducir un gas o mezcla de ellos en su interior combinando unas presiones determinadas. For this, the recommended apparatus is configured as a reservoir or container that has means for introducing a gas or mixture thereof, combining certain pressures.
Dicho depósito está timbrado con una presión entre 6 y 12 bares y dispone de una amplia tapa para la introducción en su interior de las pelotas así como la posterior extracción, la cual cierra herméticamente. Said tank is stamped with a pressure between 6 and 12 bars and has a wide lid for the introduction inside the balls as well as the subsequent extraction, which closes tightly.
Además, se contempla la incorporación de una válvula de entrada y salida del gas a presión con llave de apertura y cerrado, manómetro de control de presión, válvula de seguridad. In addition, the incorporation of a pressure inlet and outlet valve with opening and closing valve, pressure control pressure gauge, safety valve is contemplated.
Finalmente, el aparato contempla la utilización de un dispositivo de tipo convencional para la introducción del gas, ya sea por diferencia de presión o por introducción forzada, siendo preferible la utilización de botellas de gas. Finally, the apparatus contemplates the use of a conventional type device for the introduction of gas, either by pressure difference or by forced introduction, the use of gas bottles being preferable.
Por último, y de forma adicional, cabe destacar que, en la tapa del depósito, se contempla la incorporación de un dispositivo contador de ciclos que irá contando cuantos procesos hace, para lo cual dicho dispositivo se configura como un medidor que da una señal para que cuente cada vez que sobrepasa 2 kilos de presión. Finally, and additionally, it should be noted that, at the top of the tank, the incorporation of a cycle counter device is contemplated that will count how many processes it does, for which said device is configured as a meter that gives a signal for that counts every time it exceeds 2 kilos of pressure.
Por otra parte, tal como se ha señalado en apartados anteriores, un segundo aspecto de la invención atañe al procedimiento concreto que se sigue para llevar a cabo la represurización de las pelotas y, por tanto, su recuperación para poder volver a usarlas. On the other hand, as indicated in previous sections, a second aspect of the invention concerns the specific procedure that is followed to carry out the repressurization of the balls and, therefore, their recovery in order to be able to use them again.
Dicho proceso contempla, en primer lugar, como ya se ha señalado, la aplicación de gas a presión en el interior del depósito donde se han alojado las pelotas, a una presión de 5,2 bares durante un periodo que va de 48 a 68 horas, siendo importante destacar que dicho gas que se inyecta esté a una temperatura de entre -40 y -50 ° centígrados . Dicha baja temperatura es necesaria en el proceso, ya que gracias a ello la superficie elástica del material con que están fabricadas las pelotas se endurece y, al mismo tiempo, se abren sus poros, permitiendo asi que el gas penetre en el interior de las pelotas sin que éstas sufran deformación, ya que de lo contrario, si se inyecta gas a dicha presión pero a temperatura ambiente, el efecto en la superficie de las pelotas seria totalmente inoperante en cuanto a su represurización y, lo que es peor, perjudicial para su forma, pues las pelotas sufrirían deformaciones indeseables. This process contemplates, firstly, as already indicated, the application of pressurized gas inside the tank where the balls have been housed, at a pressure of 5.2 bar for a period ranging from 48 to 68 hours , it is important to note that said gas that is injected is between -40 and -50 ° C. This low temperature is necessary in the process, because thanks to this the elastic surface of the material with which the balls are made hardens and, at the same time, their pores open, thus allowing the gas to penetrate inside the balls without them undergoing deformation, since otherwise, if gas is injected at said pressure but at room temperature, the effect on the surface of the balls would be totally inoperative in terms of their repressurization and, worse, harmful to their shape, as the balls would suffer undesirable deformations.
A tenor de lo anteriormente expuesto, el proceso contempla, preferentemente, la aplicación de C02 mediante botellas, ya que en ellas el C02 se almacena a dicha baja temperatura de entre -40 y -50 °C. In accordance with the above, the process preferably contemplates the application of CO2 through bottles, since in them the CO2 is stored at said low temperature between -40 and -50 ° C.
Con todo ello, el funcionamiento del aparato es el siguiente: With all this, the operation of the device is as follows:
Se introducen las pelotas en el interior del depósito, ya sea individualmente o introducidas en una bolsa de malla, ya que el depósito tiene gran capacidad y permite introducir pelotas de distintos usuarios. The balls are introduced inside the tank, either individually or inserted into a mesh bag, since the tank has a large capacity and allows balls from different users to be introduced.
A continuación se cierra la tapa y se sella para que el depósito quede cerrado herméticamente. The lid is then closed and sealed so that the tank is tightly closed.
A través de la válvula de entrada a presión se introduce el gas o la mezcla de gases a la temperatura anteriormente citada y a una velocidad determinada hasta conseguir la presión necesaria. Through the pressure inlet valve, the gas or gas mixture is introduced at the aforementioned temperature and at a certain rate until the necessary pressure is achieved.
Una vez conseguida la presión, hay que mantenerla constante para conseguir que las pelotas se rellenen de forma homogénea. Once the pressure is achieved, it must be kept constant to get the balls to fill in a homogeneous way.
A las 72 horas como máximo, tras descargar del gas por la válvula de descarga y dejar la máquina sin presión, se puede proceder a la extracción de las pelotas por la tapa. At maximum 72 hours, after discharging the gas through the discharge valve and leaving the machine without pressure, the balls can be removed by the cover.
En comparación con los sistemas actualmente conocidos, las ventajas que ofrece el aparato descrito son amplias y evidentes: Compared to the systems currently known, the advantages offered by the described apparatus are wide and obvious:
Además de pelotas de tenis, sirve para cualquier otro tipo de pelotas como las de pádel. - Es una máquina simple que no necesita de agitación ni mecanismos internos para mover las pelotas en su interior durante el proceso de represurización . In addition to tennis balls, it is used for any other type of balls such as paddle balls. - It is a simple machine that does not need agitation or internal mechanisms to move the balls inside during the repressurization process.
- No necesita de un mecanismo ni trípode para darle vueltas a la máquina y remover las pelotas. - You do not need a mechanism or tripod to spin the machine and remove the balls.
No incorpora moldes interiores para la colocación de las pelotas en su interior. - El tiempo que se emplea en su proceso es deIt does not incorporate interior molds for the placement of the balls inside. - The time used in your process is
72 horas en vez de 4 o 5 días, con lo que se mejoran los procesos y productividades. 72 hours instead of 4 or 5 days, which improves processes and productivity.
- No es necesario tener depósitos adyacentes e intermedios de alta y media presión para su proceso. - It is not necessary to have adjacent and intermediate deposits of high and medium pressure for your process.
- Sólo es necesario introducir el gas mediante diferencias de presiones o forzando la entrada. diseño permite hacer aparatos depósitos con capacidades desde 100 pelotas hasta 1000 unidades de represurizado al mismo tiempo. - It is only necessary to introduce the gas through pressure differences or forcing the inlet. design allows devices to be made tanks with capacities from 100 balls up to 1000 units of repressurized at the same time.
Se constata pues, que el descrito aparato recuperador de presión para pelotas representa una estructura innovadora de características estructurales y constitutivas desconocidas hasta ahora para el fin a que se destina, razones que unidas a su utilidad práctica, la dotan de fundamento suficiente para obtener el privilegio de exclusividad que se solicita. It is therefore found that the described pressure recovery device for balls represents an innovative structure of structural and constitutive characteristics unknown until now for the purpose to which it is intended, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.
