Mueble con elemento soporte de plantasFurniture with plant support element

OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

El objeto de este invento es un mueble con elemento soporte de plantas para casas y pisos. The object of this invention is a piece of furniture with a plant support element for houses and apartments.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

El problema técnico a solucionar era eliminar el impacto destructor del agua sobre los elementos de muebles hechos de madera o de sus derivados que aparecía cuando, en el día a día, el agua para regar se derrama de manera descontrolada sobre el mueble. El contacto con los muebles tiene un impacto negativo sobre el material del que se han hecho: la madera o su derivado; puede llegar a deformarlos, hacerles perder su color o, cuando el contacto sea prolongado, hacer pudrir aquellos elementos de los mismos expuestos al ambiente húmedo. The technical problem to be solved was to eliminate the destructive impact of water on furniture elements made of wood or its derivatives, which appears when, on a daily basis, water is spilled in an uncontrolled manner on the furniture. Contact with furniture has a negative impact on the material from which it is made: wood or its derivative; it can deform it, make it lose its colour or, when the contact is prolonged, cause the elements of the furniture exposed to the humid environment to rot.

El objetivo de este invento es eliminar por completo el contacto con el agua de riego de las plantas directo con el mueble que suele suceder en situaciones de riego excesivo cuando el agua sale del soporte de la olla o cuando se derrame el agua por casualidad resultando en su contacto directo con el mueble pudiendo deformarlo, hacerle perder su color, pudrirlo o simplemente deteriorarlo. The aim of this invention is to completely eliminate direct contact of the water used to irrigate the plants with the furniture, which usually occurs in situations of excessive irrigation when the water comes out of the pot holder or when the water is spilled by chance, resulting in direct contact with the furniture, which can deform it, make it lose its colour, rot it or simply damage it.

RESUMEN DE LA INVENCIÓN SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

La ventaja del mueble con un elemento de soporte de plantas consiste en tener un hueco, como mínimo, creado entre una pared lateral del mueble y su pared delantera y su pared trasera, en donde se ha colocado un elemento resistente al agua hecho de un material flexible que no deja pasar el agua, cuya forma se adapta a la forma del hueco, y cuyas paredes verticales se apegan a todas las paredes del mueble; los bordes superiores de aquel elemento resistente al agua están doblados; en estos doblados se han colocado varillas largas creando una estructura rígida apoyada sobre los bordes de las paredes de su hueco superiores y, es en su fondo, que se apega al fondo del hueco, que se colocará el elemento vegetal de la planta. Resulta interesante cuando dos paredes del elemento resistente al agua vienen dotadas de elementos hechos de material flexible en forma de cintas largas cuyas extremidades vienen pegadas a las paredes formando ganchos y cuando los elementos vegetales constituyen estantes separados colocados directamente uno encima del otro; en cuyo caso sus paredes laterales vienen conectadas con apoyos de soporte verticales y sus paredes internas vienen pegadas directamente a la parte restante del mueble. En su versión mejorada (opcional), las paredes laterales del hueco pueden ser dotadas, cerca de sus bordes laterales, de elementos de enganche en forma de pletinas; en la parte inferior de las mismas tienen doblados para dejar pasar las partes salientes de elementos de su soporte y cuando la pared lateral tiene, además, un saliente en forma de la letra "L” revertida en cuya extremidad se encuentra una fuente emisora de luz. The advantage of a piece of furniture with a plant support element is that it has a gap, at least, created between one side wall of the piece of furniture and its front and back walls, into which a water-resistant element made of a flexible material that does not let water through has been placed, the shape of which adapts to the shape of the gap, and whose vertical walls are attached to all the walls of the piece of furniture; the upper edges of that water-resistant element are bent; long rods are placed in these bends, creating a rigid structure supported on the edges of the upper walls of its gap, and it is at its bottom, which is attached to the bottom of the gap, that the plant element of the plant will be placed. It is interesting when two walls of the water-resistant element are provided with elements made of flexible material in the form of long ribbons whose ends are attached to the walls forming hooks and when the plant elements constitute separate shelves placed directly one above the other; in which case their side walls are connected with vertical support supports and their inner walls are attached directly to the rest of the piece of furniture. In its improved version (optional), the side walls of the recess can be provided, near its lateral edges, with hooking elements in the form of plates; at the bottom of these they have bends to allow the protruding parts of their support elements to pass through and when the side wall also has a protrusion in the form of an inverted letter "L" at the end of which there is a light emitting source.

La solución basada sobre este invento se caracteriza por la simplicidad de su ejecución - los elementos resistentes al agua son hechos de un material flexible cuya forma se adapta a la forma de los huecos en los muebles permitiendo así llenar por completo el espacio del mueble hecho de madera o de su derivado potencialmente expuesto a contacto con agua; gracias pues a la construcción de dicho elemento resistente al agua se ha minimizado el riesgo de su penetración en el espacio entre dicho elemento y el mismo mueble gracias, básicamente, a la aplicación, en su parte superior, de los elementos que lo vuelven rígido y lo forman en forma de un hueco. Añadiendo, además, unos elementos opcionales en forma de tomas laterales y una solución que consiste en permitir abrir una de las paredes laterales del hueco, permite un acceso al elemento vegetal más facil en cuanto otros elementos, en forma de una iluminación especial, tienen un impacto positivo en el desarrollo de la planta colocada sobre un elemento de su mueble. La aplicación del policloro de vinilo PVC recubierto de poliestireno facil a tratar añadiendo sustancias plastificadoras permite asegurar que este elemento mantenga parámetros de resistencia al agua adecuados y, gracias a la aplicación del poliester, este materia resulta resistene a rupturas, es ligero, no coge agua, ofreciendo además protección contra los rayos UV. The solution based on this invention is characterized by its simplicity of execution - the water-resistant elements are made of a flexible material whose shape adapts to the shape of the gaps in the furniture, thus allowing the space of the furniture made of wood or its derivative potentially exposed to contact with water to be completely filled; thanks to the construction of said water-resistant element, the risk of its penetration into the space between said element and the furniture itself has been minimized, basically thanks to the application, on its upper part, of the elements that make it rigid and form it in the form of a gap. Adding, in addition, optional elements in the form of side inlets and a solution that consists of allowing one of the side walls of the gap to be opened, allows easier access to the plant element while other elements, in the form of special lighting, have a positive impact on the development of the plant placed on an element of your furniture. The application of PVC polyvinyl chloride coated with easy-to-treat polystyrene by adding plasticizing substances ensures that this element maintains adequate water resistance parameters and, thanks to the application of polyester, this material is resistant to breakage, is light, does not absorb water, and also offers protection against UV rays.

Furthermore, the side walls 6 are provided, near their side edges 27, with hooking elements 28 in the form of plates 29 fastened with two screws 30 from their inside; they have, in their lower part, bends 31 to let the corresponding projections 32 of the support elements 33 fastened with 2 screws 34 pass through to fasten it to the front wall 7 and the rear wall 8 forming, together with the wall 6 and the wall 9, the recess 5.

Estos ejemplos de aplicación de nuestro invento no limitan la posibilidad de aplicar el hueco del mueble 5 solo a los muebles que se dan como ejemplo pudiendo ser aprovechado en cualquier otro mueble de cualquier otra forma. These examples of application of our invention do not limit the possibility of applying the furniture recess 5 only to the furniture given as an example, and it can be used in any other furniture in any other way.

En otros ejemplos visualizados de nuestro invento el hueco de mueble 5 tiene la forma de cuboide cuya base tiene la forma de cualquier polígono y el elemento resistente al agua 10 tiene la base 22 de forma análoga a aquella; su borde superior 12 tiene el número de varillas 18 suficiente para volver la estrúctura más rígida correspondiente al número de las paredes laterales del hueco 5 siendo el elemento resistente al agua hecho de PVC transformado con plastificantes adicionales asegurando el 100% de estanqueidad al agua de este material cuando su grosor sea de 0,2-0,7 mm. In other visualized examples of our invention the furniture recess 5 has the shape of a cuboid with a base having the shape of any polygon and the waterproof element 10 has the base 22 of a shape analogous to that; its upper edge 12 has the number of rods 18 sufficient to make the structure more rigid corresponding to the number of the side walls of the recess 5 being the waterproof element made of PVC transformed with additional plasticizers ensuring 100% water tightness of this material when its thickness is 0.2-0.7 mm.

Estos ejemplos de implementación de nuestro invento, incluyendo el aprovechamiento del hueco 5 con el elemento resistente al agua 10 no quieren limitar su uso a los modelos de los muebles que presentamos en los dibujos - ejemplos de su configuración y uso; nuestro invento puede aprovecharse en cualquier mueble. These examples of implementation of our invention, including the use of the recess 5 with the water-resistant element 10, are not intended to limit its use to the furniture models presented in the drawings - examples of their configuration and use; our invention can be used in any piece of furniture.

Gracias a su construcción la solución basada sobre este invento puede aplicarse en cualquier mueble de cualquier tipo en el que resulte practicable un hueco 5 en el que se pueda colocar el elemento resistente al agua 10 de forma adaptada a la forma de aquel. La construcción de dicho elemento adecuada y el copiado de la forma de las paredes externas del mueble, además de la aplicación de varillas 18 adicionales que vuelven rígido el borde superior 12 del elemento 10 permite proteger el borde superior del hueco y el espacio entre el mismo elemento 10 y las paredes 6,7, 8 y 9 de forma a que, mientras se rieguen las plantas 19 colocadas en el interior del hueco, por ejemplo, el agua no pueda penetrar accidentalmente en el espacio entre el elemento 10 y el mismo mueble. Además, el hecho de que el elemento 10 sea hecho de un material que no deja pasar el agua protege las superficies del mueble de madera o de sus derivados contra la acción deterioradora de dicho líquido cuando trasvase o cuando el agua salga del soporte 21 de la olla 22. El elemento resistente al agua 10 se coloca directamente en el interior del hueco 5 desde arriba o bien, en los muebles de tamaño más importante, pudiendo colocar el hueco más arriba desconectando la pared lateral 6 haciendo salir los elementos de enganche 28 de los salientes 32 y, después, haciendo entrar o salir el elemento resistente al agua 10 al hueco aprovechando como auxiliar uno de los enganches 16 y luego haciendo volver los elementos de enganche 28 sobre los salientes 32 cerrando el hueco 5. Thanks to its construction, the solution based on this invention can be applied to any piece of furniture of any type in which a recess 5 can be made practicable in which the water-resistant element 10 can be placed in a manner adapted to the shape of the latter. The suitable construction of said element and the copying of the shape of the external walls of the piece of furniture, in addition to the application of additional rods 18 which make the upper edge 12 of the element 10 rigid, allows the upper edge of the recess and the space between the same element 10 and the walls 6, 7, 8 and 9 to be protected so that, while the plants 19 placed inside the recess are being watered, for example, water cannot accidentally penetrate the space between the element 10 and the same piece of furniture. Furthermore, the fact that the element 10 is made of a material that does not allow water to pass through protects the surfaces of the wooden furniture or its derivatives against the damaging action of said liquid when it is transferred or when the water comes out of the support 21 of the pot 22. The water-resistant element 10 is placed directly inside the recess 5 from above or, in larger-sized furniture, the recess can be placed higher up by disconnecting the side wall 6 by making the hooking elements 28 come out of the projections 32 and then making the water-resistant element 10 enter or come out into the recess using one of the hooks 16 as an auxiliary and then making the hooking elements 28 return over the projections 32 closing the recess 5.
