Description

PLATAFORMA FLOTANTE DECORATIVA PARA PORTAR MECHAS DE VELAS O LÁMPARAS DE ACEITE Y AGUA DECORATIVE FLOATING PLATFORM FOR CARRYING SAIL OR WATER LAMPS OR LAMPS

OBJETO DE LA INVENCiÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención, según se expresa en el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva, hace referencia a una plataforma flotante de corcho natural y metal portadora de mecha para las lámparas de aceite, concebida y realizada en orden a obtener numerosas ventajas respecto a otros medios existentes de análogas finalidades. The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification, refers to a floating platform of natural cork and wick-carrying metal for oil lamps, conceived and realized in order to obtain numerous advantages over other existing means of analogous purposes.

El conjunto de los materiales que componen la plataforma, además de cumplir con la función de portar la mecha, tienen durabilidad y finalidades decorativas. The set of materials that make up the platform, in addition to fulfilling the function of carrying the wick, have durability and decorative purposes.

La plataforma se coloca sobre el aceite o parafina, perfumada o no, y gracias a su apertura central, sostiene la mecha o pabilo fijada en la ficha de cartulina u otro material. The platform is placed on the oil or paraffin, scented or not, and thanks to its central opening, it holds the wick or wick fixed on the card stock or other material.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCiÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Se conocen las diminutas lamparillas, popularmente llamadas "mariposas" de un sólo uso, formadas por una mecha o cerilla colocada dentro de una ficha que flotan con dificultad sobre el aceite utilizado como combustible. Este tradicional sistema carece de ornamentación, por su ligereza e inestabilidad las lamparillas se desplazan continuamente sobre el aceite. Esta oscilación es más notable cuando están encendidas con el simple vaivén del fuego, de manera que impregnan las paredes del recipiente de humo y en consecuencia restan flujo luminoso e imposibilitan que la luz se propague uniformemente. The tiny lamps, popularly called single-use "butterflies", are formed by a wick or match placed inside a tab that float with difficulty on the oil used as fuel. This traditional system lacks ornamentation, because of its lightness and instability the lamps move continuously over the oil. This oscillation is most noticeable when lit with the simple sway of the fire, so that they permeate the walls of the smoke container and consequently subtract luminous flux and make it impossible for the light to spread evenly.

DESCRIPCiÓN DE LA INVENCiÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Esta invención presenta unas dimensiones estudiadas que permiten estabilidad, la plataforma queda centrada, la llama resultante de la mecha está alejada de las paredes del recipiente y además, la naturaleza del corcho y las características propias del aluminio siempre hacen posible la flotación de la plataforma, impidiendo que se hunda. This invention has dimensions that allow stability, the platform is centered, the flame resulting from the wick is far from the walls of the container and also, the nature of the cork and the characteristics of aluminum always make it possible to float the platform, preventing it from sinking.

El corcho natural tiene numerosas propiedades excelentes para la utilidad que está concebido. Es altamente ligero e impermeable, aislante térmico y gracias a su estructura porosa tiene gran poder de absorción. The natural cork has numerous excellent properties for the utility that is conceived. It is highly lightweight and waterproof, thermal insulating and thanks to its porous structure it has great absorption power.

El aluminio es resistente, de larga duración, no tóxico y también es impermeable y ligero. En esta invención se presenta con un diámetro inferior al del corcho sobre el que está adherido y evita que éste se queme durante la combustión. No se oxida ni deteriora en contacto con la solución de aceite y además está decorado con diferentes motivos. Aluminum is tough, long-lasting, non-toxic and is also waterproof and lightweight. In this invention it is presented with a diameter smaller than that of the cork on which it is attached and prevents it from burning during combustion. It does not oxidize or deteriorate in contact with the oil solution and is also decorated with different motifs.

La plataforma es muy versátil, puede ser colocada sobre cualquier depósito de vidrio de diámetro superior a Scm, se puede extraer para su limpieza esporádica y los recambios de mecha son muy económicos. The platform is very versatile, it can be placed on any glass tank with a diameter greater than Scm, it can be removed for sporadic cleaning and the wick spares are very economical.

Para complementar la descripción y con objeto de ayudar a una mejor comprensión de las características del invento se acompaña a la presente memoria una serie de planos con las diferentes figuras. To complement the description and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, a series of plans with the different figures are attached to the present specification.

DESCRIPCiÓN DE UN MODO DE REALIZACiÓN PREFERENTE DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Como se puede observar en las figuras referenciadas, la plataforma flotante decorativa para portar mechas de lámparas de aceite está constituida por dos piezas 1 y 2 unidas entre sí, estando formada la pieza 1 por corcho natural y la pieza 2 por aluminio. Ambas piezas tienen un agujero en la parte central para alojar la mecha 3 introducida en el cartoncillo 4. Esta mecha, a su vez sobresale desde la parte inferior del corcho 1 para hacer combustión con el aceite 8 una vez encendida 5. Todo el conjunto, se introduce en un recipiente 6 relleno de agua 7 y aceite 8; y por su densidad flota sobre el aceite. Al agotarse el aceite, el agua apagará la llama (5) por seguridad. As can be seen in the referenced figures, the decorative floating platform for carrying oil lamp wicks is constituted by two pieces 1 and 2 joined together, part 1 being formed by natural cork and part 2 by aluminum. Both pieces have a hole in the central part to accommodate the wick 3 introduced in the cardboard 4. This wick, in turn, protrudes from the bottom of the cork 1 to make combustion with the oil 8 once lit 5. The whole assembly, it is introduced into a container 6 filled with water 7 and oil 8; and by its density it floats on the oil. When the oil runs out, the water will extinguish the flame (5) for safety.
