DESCRIPTION

Insect protector

Object of the invention

The present invention, as indicated in the title, refers to a device designed to protect users from the entry of insects into homes or offices, specifically, to be installed under the door, covering the area that is normally exposed between the floor and base of the door.

The object of this invention is to provide a hitherto unknown solution for several drawbacks that will be discussed later, mainly, it is intended to achieve a final result that allows an anti-insect protection device to be easily attached to the door, thus preventing their entry from the door. Exterior.

The device in question provides essential features of novelty and notable advantages with respect to the means known and used for the same purposes in the current state of the art.

Although the appearance of insects is detestable at any time of the year, there are times, such as summer, when there is a considerable increase in insects.

The incursion of insects such as cockroaches or others in homes and offices, cause serious problems of sanitation and cleanliness, putting people's health at risk.

The presence of insects in the home can also cause them to multiply, making it very difficult to get rid of them.

For these reasons, it is very important to prevent them from entering from the outside through open areas such as the gaps under the doors.

Certain objects such as foam rubber seals are found in the state of the art, however, these are difficult to use due to their structure.

Removable objects are also known that are uncomfortable to use and that do not fix properly, leaving holes through which insects can enter.

Until now, there was no known anti-insect protection device that allows an adequate and solid structure fixation that is effective.

The device that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory way the problems set forth above, providing a series of advantageous and novel characteristics, and without this implying any reduction in its performance in other aspects. The proposed invention aims to provide an economic, ecological, practical, simple and easy-to-use solution, the effect of which would be to prevent the entry of insects through the gaps present under the doors.

The present invention has its field of application in the sector of articles for the home, and more specifically in that of devices for doors.

Background of the invention

In the state of the art we find some documents related to the field of the invention in question, although none of them fulfills the same function or provides the same advantageous characteristics.

Thus, in document ES 085478 we find a mechanical weatherstrip that comprises two longitudinally bent tapes and articulated together by a rotation axis, with a spiral spring on said axis, forming two blades of a hinge of which, one is fixed and it is attached to the bottom of the door, and the other is mobile and holds a flexible plate.

On the other hand, document ES 233853 provides a weatherstrip consisting of two parts, a fixed part that acts as a trim and is fastened by screws or glued, and a mobile part that has three anchor points, one of them being the shaft with the fixed part.

In turn, document ES 168492 claims an automatic weatherstrip comprising a base profile that is arranged on the floor below the door closing line, and this profile has a longitudinal channel in which there is a loose strip, which has on its upper face a fitting rail for a strip of elastic material and on the lower face a recess or egg to receive the larger arm of a rod curved at an angle.

In these documents we find devices with a certain complexity and plurality of parts that what they do is hinder the use and increase the costs of the resulting product.

Thus we see that until now a protector has not been known which, due to its novel characteristics, solves the aforementioned inconveniences both in terms of the aforementioned documents and other inventions or traditional systems that we find in the state of the art.

Taking into consideration the cases mentioned and analyzing the conjugated arguments, the invention proposed in this document gives rise to a final result in which significant differentiating aspects are provided compared to the current state of the art, and where a series is provided of advances in the elements already known with their corresponding advantages.

In particular:

- Easy installation.

- Adequate fixing to the door covering the entire gap under the door.

- It lacks pieces with foam rubber like others, thus avoiding the discomfort of using objects of this type.

- It is a simple product that avoids parts that require maintenance.

- It is easy to transport and store thanks to its small size.

- It remains fixed to the door, avoiding the continuous annoyances of other known removable systems.

- By varying the length of the protector, it is compatible with doors of any width.

Description of the invention

Thus, the present invention is constituted from the following elements:

A piece of suitable material that has three faces in the form of three plates joined integrally longitudinally in the shape of a "Z", the face that makes up the base, capable of being embedded in the space between the floor and the base of a door, presenting a thickness of about 2.5 mm approximately, while the central face has means of fixing to the door by screws or whatever is considered appropriate, also measuring an approximate thickness of about 2.5 mm, while the The third face or clamping face is perpendicular to the door, measures approximately 1mm thick and allows the protector to be pulled or pushed.

Brief description of the drawings

For a better understanding of this specification a drawing is attached which, by way of non-limiting example, describes a preferred embodiment of the invention:

In these figures the following numbered elements stand out:

1. Base face of the piece

2. Soil

3. Door

4. Central face

5. Fixation means

6. Third face or clamping face

Preferred embodiment of the invention

A preferred embodiment of the proposed invention is made up of the following elements: a piece of appropriate material that has three faces in the form of three plates joined integrally longitudinally in the form of a "Z", the face that makes up the base ( 1), capable of being embedded in the space between the floor (2) and the base of a door (3), having a thickness of approximately 2.5 mm, while the central face (4) has means of fixing (5) to the door by screws or whatever is considered appropriate, also measuring an approximate thickness of about 2.5 mm, while the third face or fastening face (6) is perpendicular to the door, measuring approximately 1mm thick and allows the protector to be pulled or pushed.
