Description

MOLDE PARA FRUTOS DE PLANTAS MOLD FOR PLANT FRUITS

OBJETO DE LA INVENCION OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invenci6n, segun se expresa en el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un molde para dar forma a frutos de plantas, el cual se ha concebido y realizado para obtener numerosas y notables ventajas respecto a otros medios existentes de finalidades analogas. The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a mold for shaping fruits of plants, which has been conceived and realized to obtain numerous and notable advantages over other existing means of analogous purposes.

El molde esta previsto para que la propia capacidad de deformaci6n elastica de una de las piezas que componen el molde permita su correcta colocaci6n rodeando el fruto, y una vez ha crecido el fruto dentro del molde permita la correcta extracci6n del fruto sin danarlo. Pues bien, el dispositivo consta de dos piezas acoplables entre sf, una pieza rodea al fruto y es la encargada de darle forma. La otra pieza sirve de cierre de la primera pieza y evita que esta se abra. The mold is designed so that the elastic deformation capacity of one of the pieces that make up the mold allows its correct placement around the fruit, and once the fruit has grown inside the mold, it allows the correct extraction of the fruit without damaging it. Well, the device consists of two pieces that can be attached to each other, one piece surrounds the fruit and is responsible for shaping it. The other piece serves to close the first piece and prevents it from opening.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Se conocen varios dispositivos o medios para dar forma a los frutos en crecimiento y que este puede ser extrafdo una vez se ha abierto molde. Several devices or means are known to shape the growing fruits and that this can be extracted once the mold has been opened.

En tal sentido puede citarse un molde con forma de coraz6n compuesto por tres piezas, dos de ellas estan articuladas entre sf y son las encargadas de dar forma al fruto. La tercera pieza a modo de vastago permite el cierre de las primeras y evita que se abran al ser presionadas por el fruto en crecimiento. In this sense, a heart-shaped mold composed of three pieces can be mentioned, two of them are articulated with each other and are responsible for shaping the fruit. The third piece as a rod allows the closure of the first and prevents them from opening when pressed by the growing fruit.

Igualmente, se conoce otro dispositivo basado tambien en el uso de piezas articuladas. En este caso el molde tiene forma de estrella de cinco picos, pero utiliza cuatro piezas en lugar de tres. Una primera pieza esta articulada a una segunda pieza, la cual esta articulada de igual modo a una tercera pieza. La cuarta pieza a modo de vastago permite el cierre de la primera y tercera pieza y evita que se abra el conjunto al ser presionado por el fruto en crecimiento. Similarly, another device is also known based on the use of articulated parts. In this case the mold is shaped like a five-pointed star, but uses four pieces instead of three. A first piece is articulated to a second piece, which is similarly articulated to a third piece. The fourth piece as a rod allows the closure of the first and third pieces and prevents the assembly from opening when pressed by the growing fruit.

Estos sistemas presentan el inconveniente de que se necesitan varias piezas articuladas para componer el molde. Dependiendo de la forma que se le quiera dar al fruto, estos moldes formados por tres o cuatro piezas necesitan de una o dos articulaciones respectivamente para que su abertura se pueda realizar sin que se dane el fruto. Ademas, si se quiere dar otras formas mas complejas al fruto, es necesario un mayor numero de articulaciones, aumentando por tanto el numero de piezas empleadas. These systems have the disadvantage that several articulated parts are needed to compose the mold. Depending on the shape you want to give the fruit, these molds formed by three or four pieces need one or two joints respectively so that its opening can be made without damaging the fruit. In addition, if you want to give other more complex forms to the fruit, a greater number of joints is necessary, thus increasing the number of pieces used.

Otro inconveniente de estos sistemas es que al estar compuestos los moldes por varias piezas articuladas entre sf, previo a la utilizaci6n del molde, es necesario llevar a cabo el proceso de ensamblaje de las piezas. Another drawback of these systems is that since the molds are composed of several pieces articulated with each other, prior to the use of the mold, it is necessary to carry out the process of assembling the parts.

DESCRIPCION DE LA INVENCION DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

El molde de la invenci6n presenta una nueva estructura formada por unicamente dos piezas, en base a la cual se consigue la sencilla colocaci6n del molde y extracci6n del fruto. Para ello, el molde esta basado en una pieza, a modo de funda, que da forma al fruto y otra pieza, en forma de varilla, que asegura el cierre del molde. The mold of the invention has a new structure consisting of only two pieces, on the basis of which the simple placement of the mold and extraction of the fruit is achieved. For this, the mold is based on a piece, as a cover, that shapes the fruit and another piece, in the form of a rod, which ensures the closure of the mold.

La forma inicial de la funda es un perfil abierto de pequeno espesor que dispone a lo largo del mismo de una pestana en cada extremo. Aplicando una fuerza se cierra la funda hasta que las dos pestanas quedan una junto a la otra, entonces se coloca la varilla de cierre que fija la posici6n de ambas pestanas y el molde queda cerrado en toda su longitud. Las partes superior en inferior del molde quedan abiertas. El fruto en crecimiento se coloca entonces en el interior de la funda. Una vez el fruto ha crecido adoptando la forma del molde, se retira la varilla de cierre y la funda recupera su forma inicialmente abierta. El fruto se puede retirar facilmente y sin danarlo por la parte superior del molde. The initial shape of the sheath is an open profile of small thickness that has a flange along it at each end. Applying a force, the cover is closed until the two eyelashes are next to each other, then the closing rod that fixes the position of both eyelashes is placed and the mold is closed throughout its length. The upper and lower parts of the mold are open. The growing fruit is then placed inside the cover. Once the fruit has grown taking the form of the mold, the closing rod is removed and the cover recovers its initially open form. The fruit can be easily removed without damaging it by the top of the mold.

La manera en la que la funda se deforma en los pasos de cierre y apertura del molde esta determinada por la forma de su perfil y por el espesor de sus paredes. Para los distintos perfiles de funda posibles (formas de coraz6n, estrella, cuadrado, triangulo, cfrculo, trebol, etc.) se dimensiona adecuadamente el espesor de las paredes del perfil de la funda, de manera que se consigue que en la apertura del molde la funda recupere su forma abierta inicial sin danar al fruto. The way in which the cover is deformed in the closing and opening steps of the mold is determined by the shape of its profile and the thickness of its walls. For the different possible sheath profiles (heart shapes, star, square, triangle, circle, clover, etc.) the thickness of the walls of the sheath profile is suitably sized, so that it is achieved that at the opening of the mold The cover recovers its initial open form without damaging the fruit.

El dimensionado del espesor de las paredes de la funda se puede realizar con la asistencia de herramientas informaticas de calculo mediante elementos finitos. De manera que, conocida las dimensiones de la funda y las propiedades mecanicas del material, se puede predecir el modo en el que se deformara al cerrarse y abrirse el molde. Seleccionando convenientemente el espesor de las paredes de la funda se consigue controlar el modo en que se deforma la misma, evitando que presione inadecuadamente al fruto y pueda danarlo. The dimensioning of the thickness of the walls of the sheath can be done with the help of computer tools for calculating using finite elements. So that, knowing the dimensions of the sheath and the mechanical properties of the material, one can predict the way in which it deforms when the mold is closed and opened. By conveniently selecting the thickness of the walls of the sheath, the way in which it is deformed is controlled, preventing it from improperly pressing the fruit and damaging it.

DESCRIPCION DE UNA FORMA DE REALIZACION PREFERIDA DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

A la vista de las comentadas figuras, puede observarse como el molde se constituye de dos piezas 1 y 2 acoplables entre sf, estando formada la pieza 1 por un perfil alargado In view of the aforementioned figures, it can be seen how the mold is made up of two pieces 1 and 2 attachable with each other, the part 1 being formed by an elongated profile

5 de pequeno espesor que se dobla sobre sf mismo pero sin llegar a cerrarse en los extremos. De ambos extremos derivan sendas pestanas 3 que junto con la pieza 2 permiten el cierre del molde. 5 of small thickness that bends over itself but without closing at the ends. From both ends derive two flanges 3 that together with the piece 2 allow the closure of the mold.

La figura 2 muestra la pieza 1 en su forma inicial. El cierre del molde se realiza ejerciendo una fuerza sobre la pieza 1 de forma que las dos pestanas 3 quedan en Figure 2 shows part 1 in its initial form. The closing of the mold is carried out by exerting a force on the piece 1 so that the two flanges 3 remain in

10 contacto una junto a otra, seguidamente se coloca la pieza 2 sobre las pestanas 3, de esta manera una vez se deja de ejercer fuerza sobre la pieza 1, la pieza 2 evita que la pieza 1 recupere su posici6n inicial. De esta manera queda perfectamente cerrada la pieza 1, como se representa en la figura 3. 10 contact one next to the other, then the piece 2 is placed on the flanges 3, in this way once the force is stopped exerting on the piece 1, the piece 2 prevents the piece 1 from recovering its initial position. In this way, part 1 is perfectly closed, as shown in Figure 3.

El desmontaje del conjunto se realiza retirando la pieza 2, de manera que la pieza 1 The disassembly of the assembly is done by removing part 2, so that part 1

15 recupera su forma inicial representada en la figura 2. Para facilitar la extracci6n de la pieza 2 esta dispone de dos resaltes 4 en sus extremos. 15 recovers its initial form represented in figure 2. To facilitate the extraction of the piece 2 it has two projections 4 at its ends.

Los orificios 5 situados en los resaltes 4 estan previstos para la introducci6n del extremo de un alambre o hilo, que al ser fijado por el otro extremo a la planta permite la sustentaci6n del molde. The holes 5 located in the projections 4 are provided for the introduction of the end of a wire or thread, which, when fixed at the other end to the floor, allows the mold to be supported.
