ROOT GREENHOUSE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention refers, as stated in the statement, to a root greenhouse, consisting of a folded sheet cover, which forms a main body that houses the cultivation land, presenting an upper opening in the form of a hopper that facilitates the dumping of soil, some folds that hinder the access of crawling pests and a protective base that prevents the attack of rodents to the roots.

The device that is the object of the present invention has a protective cover that fits over the hopper and allows preserving the soil conditions (sponginess, humidity, etc.) as freshly prepared and for a long period until the time of sowing. From that moment on, the lid can be removed to allow sunlight and rainwater to enter.

SCOPE

The field of application of the present invention is framed in the manufacture of greenhouses, utensils and devices for agriculture and crops in general.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The existence of the utility model document n ° 200901657 is known, which discloses a lifting structure of land for cultivation, presenting a narrow slot that makes it difficult to fill the farmland and causes the land to be dumped abroad, forcing clean the spilled soil to avoid the extension of weeds, not solving the problems that may arise.

In order to solve these drawbacks, the present invention offers the advantage that the loading slot incorporates a widening in the form of a hopper that facilitates filling, minimizes the land spilled to the outside and increases the natural irrigation from the rain once sown. and removed the protective cap.

The existence of any other invention that presents structural and configuration characteristics similar to those described in the root greenhouse of the present invention is not known from this part.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The root greenhouse that the present invention proposes consists of a small device preferably made of folded sheet metal that covers and protects the cultivated land, planted seeds and plants from the elements and pests until harvest, ensuring better conditions of temperature, humidity and spongy soil.

In its upper part, it has a loading hopper that, with its widened mouth, facilitates filling the greenhouse with the cultivated land and prevents the outside from spilling, which would require additional removal work so that weeds do not proliferate competitors and also improves natural irrigation from rainwater.

The mouth of the hopper has flanges to hinder the entry of terrestrial pests, especially snails and slugs.

On the hopper, a removable lid fits that protects the spilled soil from the elements, preventing it from drying out and caking, maintaining its ideal conditions for cultivation for a long time.

The assembly rests on a permeable protective base, preferably made of multi-perforated sheet metal or rigid mesh that prevents the attack of underground animals such as moles and mice.

The protective base is fixed by means of tabs, folded inwards, which offers the following advantages:

a) Provides greater rigidity to the structure

b) Greater simplicity is achieved in the manufacturing process by folding (reducing the number of manipulations of the sheet during folding) which translates into a lower final cost.

c) It reduces the width of the strip of land used (which translates into better access from the work aisles and an appreciable saving of occupied land) and also avoids the dumping of soil between the devices and the consequent appearance of weeds.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complete the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this specification is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, by a set of plans, in which with character Illustrative and not limiting, the following has been represented:

Figure number 1.- represents a perspective view of the assembled root greenhouse object of the invention.

Figure number 2.- represents an exploded perspective view of the root greenhouse object of the invention.

Figure number 3.- represents a view of the main section of the root greenhouse object of the invention.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures, an example of a preferred embodiment of the root greenhouse can be seen, consisting of a structure whose elements correspond to the parts indicated below and designated therein with the following numerical references.

1. - Side profiles.

2. - Front plate.

3. - Main body.

4. - Loading hopper.

5. - Tabs.

6. - Vertical walls.

7. - Sloping walls.

8. - Loading slot.

9. - Convergent walls.

10. - Folds.

11. - Cover.

12. - Protective base.

The root greenhouse, of the present invention, is configured as a device with a structure formed by two symmetrical side profiles (1), preferably made of metal sheet, folded longitudinally and joined at their ends by respective front plates (2), front and rear, which make up a main body (3) that houses the cultivation land and seeds and subsequently the cultivated plants which will be protected by a loading hopper (4) that facilitates the process of filling with cultivation land and the entry of rainwater for irrigation.

The main body (3) is made up of support flanges (5), vertical side walls (6), sloping walls (7) like a gabled roof, separated in the upper part by a loading opening or slot (8) on which the longitudinal loading hopper (4) is located.

The converging walls (9) of the loading hopper (4) widen like a funnel to facilitate the dumping of the cultivated land and the entry of rainwater and at their ends they have folds (10) to make entry difficult from terrestrial pests such as snails and slugs.

On the loading hopper (4) a cover (11) can be placed that protects the soil from the elements until the moment of sowing, preventing it from drying out and hardening.

Under the structure and by means of flanges (5) facing inwards, a protective base (12) is fixed, preferably made of multi-perforated metal sheet or rigid mesh, which protects the crops from attack by animals.

Claims (3)

1a.- Root greenhouse, of those configured by a folding metal sheet, characterized by presenting a structure of lateral profiles (1) joined at their ends by front plates (2) configuring a main body (3) with a protective base (12 ) of multi-perforated metal sheet or rigid mesh, fixed by means of tabs (5) facing inwards, having vertical walls (6) and inclined walls (7) separated by a loading slot (8) on which a hopper of load (4). 2.- Root greenhouse, according to claim 1, characterized in that the convergent walls (9) of the loading hopper (4) have at their ends some folds (10) arranged at the edges of said loading hopper (4) 3rd.- Root greenhouse, according to the first claim, characterized in that a cover (11) can be placed on the loading hopper (4), by way of earth protection.
