DESCRIPTION

Conical point punch with a hollowed base in a conical shape, continued with a cylindrical column for fixing the badge and flags

Technical sector

The present invention, as expressed in the wording of this specification, refers to two elements of two fighting utensils used in bullfighting: the currency and the flags. More specifically to the part of said fighting instruments used in bullfighting shows to anchor them in cattle. It is created as an alternative to the currency harpoon and those of ordinary flags, black or punishment and pink, for its fixation on fighting cattle. These elements are very traumatic and usually cause bleeding in cattle. In addition, they can injure bullfighters during the fight.

State of the art

From the birth of the bullfight and its variants in the 18th century to the present day, the currency, a tool for fighting that is usually placed on the morrillo and is used to identify the herd to which the bull belongs by means of ribbons. of one or several colors, and the flags, an instrument that is generally placed one by one in the rejoneo and in pairs (two by two) in the fighting on foot, on the back of the animal (generally on the cross), used in the fight to fan the fighting cattle, they are fixed by means of a harpoon, double (with two hooks turned backwards) in the case of the badge and simple (with one hook turned backwards) in that of the flags.

These harpoons are very traumatic, they have great cutting capacity (the contour of the tip is very sharp to make it easier for them to nail) and their hooks end in a sharp end that often goes through the skin from the inside out, being exposed on the outside of the animal .

The hooks of the harpoons of the currency and of the flags, when these tools are fixed in the carcass, sometimes catch on the crutch, interrupting the cast and tarnishing the binding of the passes. If the bullfighter is caught and falls on these fighting tools, he can be injured with his harpoons or hooks. When entering to kill on foot, the matador can injure himself with them, especially in the hands when touching hair after releasing the sword.

If they come off, they can cause injuries to bullfighters when they come off or when they are left in the arena of the ring (if they are stepped on, when they are picked up, when they are removed, etc.).

The traditional currency uses a narrow and elongated piece of iron that has a hole in its middle part (it widens slightly in the middle part) and ends in a very sharp point shaped like a double harpoon. A ring or nail is generally inserted into the hole where the colored ribbons are attached. In the moña currency model - traditionally used in bullfighting festivals of great solemnities -, which has a generally round and flat ornament, in which fabrics of the colors of the currency are fixed, as well as ribbons of the same colors, the harpoon without ring or nail on the non-piercing part and then the ring or nail, which is sewn to the bow to prevent it from moving or detaching. Once the badge is attached, it protrudes out of the animal's skin or above the bow end opposite the double hook, usually a portion about 3 centimeters long, 4 millimeters wide, and another 4 millimeters thick.

The harpoon of the currency is described in the regulation of national bullfighting shows, published by the Ministry of Justice and Interior (Royal Decree 145/1996, of February 2, BOE 2 March 1996, no. 54, article 59.5), and in the Autonomous regulations of the Autonomous Communities of Navarra, the Basque Country, Aragon, Andalusia and Castilla y León, which present the same description.

The harpoons of the banderillas, which can be ordinary, punishment black (with a larger harpoon) or pink, are described in the national bullfighting regulations, published by the Ministry of Justice and the Interior (Royal Decree 145/1996, of February 2, BOE March 2, 1996, No. 54, Articles 63 and 67), and in the autonomous regulations of the Autonomous Communities of Navarra, the Basque Country, Aragon, Andalusia and Castilla y León, which present practically the same description.

Explanation of the invention

We provide a conical tip punch for currency and flags with nine variants in the conical part, which requires a support (blunt and round if possible) for the currency, where said punch is fixed to avoid snagging in tricks (cape or crutch ) and injuries to bullfighters.

The conical point punch is a piece of steel that has three parts aligned on the longitudinal axis: a grooved part that is inserted into the badge holder (a piece of PVC plastic or other material, which has a hole for its fixation) or in the support of the flags, a middle part or column that is narrower than the base of the cone (next part), and a conical part that ends in a sharp point and that has the base of the cone hollowed or excavated in conical shape around the narrow part that is inserted under said base of the cone.

As at present, articulated (hanging) flag models are mainly used that make the pole separate from the support once nailed, leaving the pole suspended hanging from a spring, thread, wire or cable downwards to prevent the poles from getting in the way. , annoys or injures the matador, the shape of the grooved part may vary depending on the characteristics of the support of each manufacturer and the type of flag. The conical tip punch features nine variations on the conical part:

1) Conical part with smooth walls that ends in a very sharp point (figure 1).

2) Conical part with three equidistant bevels that blur before the tip (figure 2) and end in a very sharp conical shape.

3) Conical part with four equidistant bevels that blur before the tip and end in a very sharp conical shape.

4) Conical part with five equidistant bevels that blur before the tip and end in a very sharp conical shape.

5) Conical part with six equidistant bevels that blur before the tip and end in a very sharp conical shape.

6) Conical part with three equidistant bevels that extend to the tip, forming a very sharp triangular pyramid (figure 3) at the end of it.

7) Conical part with four equidistant bevels that extend to the tip, forming a quadrangular pyramid in the final portion of the same.

8) Conical part with five equidistant bevels that extend to the tip, forming a pentagonal pyramid in the final portion of the same.

9) Conical part with six equidistant bevels that extend to the tip, forming a hexagonal pyramid in the final portion of the same.

Smooth-walled punches offer greater penetration difficulty. Those with bevels on the walls of the cone that fade before the tip (end in a tapered tip) offer intermediate difficulty. Those with bevels that reach the tip are the easiest to penetrate.

This invention is designed to obtain several notable advantages over current currency and flag harpoons, with similar functionalities:

> The hooks of the currency harpoons or flags cause abundant injuries to the bullfighters and hooks in the tricks (especially in the crutch). This punch avoids these problems by eliminating the need for hooks to attach. Due to its less traumatic form, it avoids injuries in the manufacture, assembly and manipulation of currencies or flags.

> Produces the same lifelike effect as currency and flag harpoons.

> Causes a puncture wound in the skin smaller in diameter than the base of the cone. After producing a small hole in the skin, the conical part of the awl expands the hole until it completely passes through it, reaching the middle part or column that has a smaller diameter than the base of the cone. When the conical part has penetrated the skin thickness, the skin, due to its elasticity, hugs the spine, preventing the awl from leaving where it entered. Since the base of the conical part is slightly excavated inside in a conical shape, the subcutaneous tissue enters the hollow part of the base of the cone as a ring and forms a plug, which makes it difficult for the awl to detach and causes the hole is watertight, so in most cases it does not bleed to the outside, or it does so to a much lesser extent than traditional harpoons.

> The conical shape of the tip causes it to slow down as it penetrates the skin, and the thickening of the spine also acts as a brake when the conical part has completely penetrated the skin, so comparatively, it causes a wound shallower than currency or flag harpoons.

> By not having the ability to cut, it causes internal and external injuries in fighting cattle that are much less important than spear guns.

> Unlike the harpoons of the banderillas, if the awl is inserted in a punch, instead of fixing and progressing inwards, it is released, since its shape allows it to be fixed on the skin and not on the muscle.

Detailed exposition of an embodiment of the invention

In view of the drawings, for the assembly of the different detailed models of punches in the currency or flags support (1 or 2), it is enough to insert them by pressure in their anchoring hole, and thanks to the grooves that they carry in one of its ends, are fixed.

For the placement of the colored ribbons of the badge, it is enough to nail them in the punch and place them in the middle part, between the conical part and the support (1). In case of using a ribbon with a bow, just stick the awl in the center of the bow and place it in the middle, between the conical part and the support (1). Both the tapes of the first case and the bow of the second can be glued to the support (1), in its junction area with the middle part of the punch, so that they do not move when inserted.

To place the badge on the carcass, the rod with which it is placed requires, as in traditional models, an applicator into which the rod is inserted at one end. The applicator should have a round hole at the other end of adequate depth to encompass the badge holder, where the badge holder fits loosely. Once the badge is placed in the applicator, if the wand is turned upside down, it should detach. To prevent it from falling off at the time of application, simply attach the badge to the applicator, using an elastic band or a thread that holds the tapes of the badge by its end to the pole. As soon as the badge is nailed in, it is separated from the applicator when the tapes held by the rubber or thread are released.

For the protection of the tips of the punches, pieces of plastic tubes (such as those of the drippers) can be used, which fit into the conical part and protrude in front of the punch, which must be removed at the time of use.
