Description

DISPOSITIVO PARA REPRODUCCIÓN POR ACODO DE PLANTAS Y ÁRBOLES DEVICE FOR REPRODUCTION BY PLANT AND TREE ACODE
DESCRIPCIÓNDESCRIPTION
El presente dispositivo para reproducción por acodo de plantas y árboles se trata de un producto para la reproducción por el sistema de acodo in situ, mediante la utilización de un cuerpo esencialmente hueco de estructura tronco cónica a modo de maceta, la cual es atravesada por una rama de árbol o planta y rellenada con tierra o turba, con depósitos de agua para el mantenimiento de la humedad del dispositivo, lo que provoca el enraizamiento de la rama tratada y por lo tanto la obtención de pequeños árboles o plantas aptos para ser plantados sobre tierra firme o maceta con gran garantía de éxito.The present device for reproduction by layering of plants and trees is a product for reproduction by the in situ layering system, by means of the use of an essentially hollow body of conical trunk structure as a pot, which is crossed by a tree or plant branch and filled with soil or peat, with water deposits for the maintenance of the humidity of the device, which causes rooting of the treated branch and therefore obtaining small trees or plants suitable to be planted on solid ground or pot with great guarantee of success.
En la actualidad, algunos de los sistemas y dispositivos empleados en la reproducción de plantas y árboles se ciñen al corte de esquejes de un árbol o planta para su plantación sobre tierra, y el tratamiento por medio de acodos en el mismo árbol. El primero de ellos, es decir, el corte de pequeñas ramas o esquejes de los árboles para su plantación sobre macetas o en tierra , lo que supone primero cortar la rama en cuestión, separándola de su soporte nutricional para plantarla en tierra con el fin de que enraice y se cree un nuevo árbol o planta, lo que no siempre se da, puesto que por las condiciones del terreno como del esqueje, un importante porcentaje no llegan a enraizar en el terreno. Y aún así una vez enraizado, muchas veces se debe desenterrar para ser plantado en su emplazamiento definitivo, ya que los viveros y similares son pasos intermedios para su plantación una vez crecidos.At present, some of the systems and devices used in the reproduction of plants and trees are limited to cutting cuttings of a tree or plant for planting on land, and the treatment by means of layers in the same tree. The first one, that is, the cutting of small branches or cuttings of trees for planting on pots or on land, which means first cutting the branch in question, separating it from its nutritional support to plant it on land in order to that roots and creates a new tree or plant, which is not always the case, since due to the conditions of the land and the cuttings, a significant percentage do not get to root in the ground. And yet once rooted, many times it must be unearthed to be planted in its final location, since nurseries and the like are intermediate steps for planting once grown.
Uno de los problemas de este sistema de plantación, radica en que los esquejes que se cortan suelen ser finos, lo que provoca que hasta que éstos enraizan en el suelo y se pueden nutrir suficientemente del suelo, están consumiendo sus reservas, por eso muchos de ellos no desarrollan raíces y tallos. Al mismo tiempo, este proceso es largo hasta que el cuerpo del esqueje crece lo suficiente como para ser trasplantado.One of the problems of this planting system is that the cuttings that are cut are usually fine, which causes that until they are rooted in the soil and can be sufficiently nourished from the soil, they are consuming their reserves, so many of They do not develop roots and stems. At the same time, this process is long until the body of the cut grows enough to be transplanted.
Algunos de estos problemas quedan paliados con otro procedimiento de plantación de árboles y plantas como es el acodo; donde a una rama de un árbol se le envuelve en una bolsa rellena de turba o tierra con cierta humedad con el fin de que la rama llegue a sacar raíces en el interior de su seno de tierra. Su principal inconveniente consiste en que esta bolsa, por su propio peso va cediendo, proporcionando un mal reparto de su contenido, a la vez que no permite un riego en condiciones óptimas ni recoger el agua de lluvia, con el fin de mantener un grado de humedad ideal, para una vez enraizada esta rama en la nueva tierra del acodo, cortarla y plantarla ya crecida.Some of these problems are palliated with another procedure of planting trees and plants such as the layer; where a branch of a tree is wrapped in a bag filled with peat or soil with some moisture in order for the branch to take root inside its sine. Its main drawback is that this bag, by its own weight is yielding, providing a poor distribution of its content, while not allowing irrigation in optimal conditions or collecting rainwater, in order to maintain a degree of Ideal humidity, for once this branch is rooted in the new soil of the layer, cut it and plant it already grown.
Con el dispositivo para reproducción por acodo de plantas y árboles, objeto de la presente invención, se pretende evitar o paliar todos estos inconvenientes, para ello se emplea un cuerpo semi-rígido el cual se abre acoplándose a la rama seleccionada para la reproducción por acodo, albergando una cantidad de tierra y turba con suficiente humedad como para permitir su enraizamiento en este medio. Al mismo tiempo, con el fin de facilitar el mantenimiento de esta humedad, este dispositivo está dotado de dos depósitos en los que se almacena una cantidad de agua que, en contacto con la tierra del acodo, por capilaridad la humedece hasta su saturación, precipitando el agua sobrante al depósito.With the device for reproduction by layering of plants and trees, object of the present invention, it is intended to avoid or alleviate all these inconveniences, for this a semi-rigid body is used which is opened by coupling to the selected branch for reproduction by layering , housing an amount of soil and peat with enough moisture to allow rooting in this environment. At the same time, in order to facilitate the maintenance of this humidity, this device is equipped with two reservoirs in which an amount of water is stored that, in contact with the soil of the layer, moisturizes it until its saturation, precipitating the leftover water to the tank.
Por otro lado también dispone de unos canales longitudinales, que por tensión superficial elevan agua, desde los depósitos inferiores, hacia las capas más altas manteniendo la saturación de humedad de una manera constante y natural, pues es la misma necesidad de agua la que demanda desde estos canales capilares. Puesto que estos depósitos recogen el agua sobrante del dispositivo bien sea ésta por riego o por lluvia. Al mismo tiempo, incorpora una tapadera, la cual también se acopla al tronco de la rama, de manera que, cierra el conjunto de forma estanca, manteniendo la temperatura interior más o menos constante , a modo de mini invernadero, lo que facilita el enraizamiento. Pues bien, aún obteniéndose una mejora espectacular respecto a los métodos convencionales de reproducción por acodo con esta disposición básica, se ha apreciado la posibilidad de introducir algunos perfeccionamientos que hagan aún más cómodo y eficaz la utilización del dispositivo de la invención.On the other hand, it also has longitudinal channels, which, due to surface tension, raise water, from the lower deposits, to the upper layers, maintaining the humidity saturation in a constant and natural way, since it is the same need for water that demands from these capillary channels. Since these deposits collect the surplus water from the device, whether it is by irrigation or by rain. At the same time, it incorporates a cover, which also attaches to the trunk of the branch, so that, it closes the assembly in a tight way, keeping the internal temperature more or less constant, as a mini greenhouse, which facilitates rooting . Well, while obtaining a dramatic improvement over conventional methods of reproduction by layering with this basic arrangement, the possibility of introducing some improvements that make the use of the device of the invention even more comfortable and efficient has been appreciated.
Así, se ha comprobado que cuando se utiliza el dispositivo de la invención en varias ramas de un mismo árbol o planta, el desarrollo radicular es distinto para cada una de las mismas en función de su orientación respecto al sol. Esto obliga a realizar el trasplante en momentos distintos, y conduce a repetidas operaciones de inspección sobre las ramas más retrasadas en su crecimiento radicular. La consecuencia es que precisamente aquellas ramas que presenta una mayor dificultad en su desarrollo se ven sometidas adicionalmente a un elevado número de manipulaciones del dispositivo de la invención, con la consiguiente agresión para la planta cada vez que se abre la maceta. Como, por otra parte, la maceta no debe dejar pasar la luz en la zona de crecimiento de las raíces para evitar la proliferación de microorganismos se propone la introducción de medios de visualización específicos tanto del agua contenida en los depósitos inferiores como de la zona de crecimiento radicular. Dos soluciones particulares de estos medios de visualización han sido probadas con resultados satisfactorios. La primera solución consiste en realizar el cuerpo hueco que constituye la maceta en un material que no deje pasar la luz, excepto una estrecha banda vertical que será transparente o translúcida. La segunda solución consiste en realizar la totalidad del cuerpo hueco en material transparente o translúcido, pero previendo una pantalla opaca removible que abrace la totalidad del perímetro de la maceta en la zona de crecimiento radicular.Thus, it has been found that when the device of the invention is used in several branches of the same tree or plant, the root development is different for each of them depending on their orientation with respect to the sun. This forces the transplant to be performed at different times, and leads to repeated inspection operations on the most retarded branches in their root growth. The consequence is that precisely those branches that present a greater difficulty in their development are additionally subjected to a high number of manipulations of the device of the invention, with the consequent aggression for the plant each time the pot is opened. As, on the other hand, the pot must not let light through the root growth zone to avoid the proliferation of microorganisms, it is proposed to introduce specific visualization means of both the water contained in the lower deposits and the area of root growth Two particular solutions of these visualization means have been tested with satisfactory results. The first solution is to make the hollow body that constitutes the pot in a material that does not let light through, except a narrow vertical band that will be transparent or translucent. The second solution is to make the entire hollow body in transparent or translucent material, but providing a removable opaque screen that embraces the entire perimeter of the pot in the root growth zone.
También se ha observado que los elementos macho y hembra que permiten el mantenimiento en posición cerrada de la maceta exigen para su correcto acoplamiento una realización muy precisa, estando sometidos a desgaste durante las sucesivas operaciones de cierre y apertura de la misma, con lo que terminan por fallar, en cuyo momento la totalidad de la maceta debe ser descartada. Especialmente favorable es la utilización de un sistema de fijación por bayoneta que comprende un tetón ranurado diametralmente unido a uno de los semicuerpos de la maceta y que puede recibir una arandela de fijación que queda retenida por fricción en el propio tetón ranurado. El esfuerzo de fricción lo suministra la elasticidad que presentan las dos partes en que queda dividido el tetón por la ranura diametral.It has also been observed that the male and female elements that allow maintenance in the closed position of the pot require for its correct coupling a very precise embodiment, being subjected to wear during the successive closing and opening operations of the same, which end for failure, at which time the entire pot must be discarded. Especially favorable is the use of a bayonet fixing system comprising a slotted pin diametrically connected to one of the pot half-bodies and which can receive a lock washer that is retained by friction in the slotted pin itself. The frictional effort is provided by the elasticity of the two parts in which the bumper is divided by the diametral groove.
Finalmente y habiéndose comprobado asimismo, la dificultad de inmovilizar por simple ajuste la tapa de la maceta, se han previsto en aquella sendas orejetas susceptibles de introducirse en correspondientes alojamientos que presentan los semicuerpos de maceta. Estas orejetas presentan orificios para posibilitar su atado, si fuera necesario.Finally and having also been verified, the difficulty of immobilizing by simple adjustment the lid of the pot, are provided in that two lugs liable to be introduced in corresponding housings that have the pot half-bodies. These lugs have holes to enable tying, if necessary.
Todas estas características aportan ventajas al ser un cuerpo semi-rígido permite disponer la tierra del interior de una manera proporcionada alrededor de la rama. A su vez, se pueden escoger ramas más desarrolladas, con un diámetro mayor que los esquejes, lo que evita la plantación de éstos durante años, eliminando tiempos de espera en su desarrollo.All these features provide advantages as a semi-rigid body allows the interior land to be arranged in a proportionate manner around the branch. In turn, you can choose more developed branches, with a diameter greater than the cuttings, which prevents their planting for years, eliminating waiting times in their development.
Otro aspecto importante es, que la rama se alimenta por un lado, directamente del tronco madre y por otro de su nuevo medio rodeado de tierra o turba para su crecimiento, facilitando un desarrollo mucho más seguro y más rápido, eliminando riesgos de que este acodo no se coja a su nuevo medio, por lo que una vez cortado de su tronco madre, las raíces son lo suficientemente fuertes como para permitir su plantación en tierra firme.Another important aspect is that the branch feeds on one side, directly from the mother trunk and on the other from its new environment surrounded by soil or peat for its growth, facilitating a much safer and faster development, eliminating risks of this layer Do not take your new environment, so once cut from its mother trunk, the roots are strong enough to allow planting on dry land.

Como se puede apreciar en las figuras, se distingue en primer lugar dos medias partes (1, 2), las cuales forman el cuerpo del conjunto final, estableciendo en la base inferior sus correspondientes depósitos de agua (3, 4), así como en la parte superior una oquedad (5) donde se alberga la tierra o turba que rodea a la rama (6), acoplándose mediante un sistema de aletas (7) al diámetro de la rama, ubicado en un cilindro (12) dentro de la base inferior; así mismo los depósitos (3 y 4) están separados por un tabique (8), el cual se une al fondo (9) del dispositivo a través de una bisagra (10) en forma de debilitamiento. Este fondo (9) genera uno o varios conos (11) con rendijas (13), los cuales son abatibles junto con el fondo (9). El cuerpo principal dispone de unas pequeñas acanaladuras (14) longitudinales con el cuerpo que ponen en contacto los depósitos (3,4) de la base inferior con la parte superior del dispositivo. Al mismo tiempo ambas mitades (1, 2) se vinculan a través de una bisagra (15) mediante la cual se abate una sobre la otra ,de manera que, coincidan los medios de sujeción del dispositivo, como puede ser un sistema de machihembrado, basado en una solapa (16) que se inserta entre otras dos (17) de la semiparte contraria, enlazando un elemento macho (18) en la oquedad (19), de manera que, por deformación elástica quede perfectamente sujeto. Este cuerpo también dispone de unos orificios (20) destinados al paso de un cordel o cuerda con el fin de enderezar la rama (6) respecto del tutor o tronco. Otro elemento del dispositivo es una tapa cónico circular (21), la cual presenta una abertura (22) conformada radialmente, y configurando en el centro de la tapa un embudo (23) también con aletas de acoplamiento al cuerpo de la rama (6), así como periféricamente está dotada de medios de acoplamiento y sujeción (24), a modo de pestaña sobre los medios de sujeción (25) de la parte superior del dispositivo. La base inferior del dispositivo queda conformada por lo tanto por los depósitosAs can be seen in the figures, two half parts (1, 2) are distinguished first, which form the body of the final assembly, establishing their corresponding water tanks (3, 4), as well as in the lower base. the upper part is a recess (5) where the earth or peat that surrounds the branch (6) is housed, coupled by a fin system (7) to the diameter of the branch, located in a cylinder (12) inside the lower base; likewise, the tanks (3 and 4) are separated by a partition (8), which joins the bottom (9) of the device through a hinge (10) in the form of weakening. This bottom (9) generates one or several cones (11) with slits (13), which are foldable together with the bottom (9). The main body has small longitudinal grooves (14) with the body that bring the tanks (3,4) of the lower base into contact with the upper part of the device. At the same time both halves (1, 2) are linked through a hinge (15) by means of which one is folded over the other, so that the fastening means of the device coincide, such as a tongue and groove system, based on a flap (16) that is inserted between two other (17) of the opposite half, linking a male element (18) in the recess (19), so that, by elastic deformation it is perfectly subject. This body also has holes (20) intended for the passage of a string or rope in order to straighten the branch (6) with respect to the guardian or trunk. Another element of the device is a circular conical lid (21), which has a radially shaped opening (22), and forming a funnel (23) in the center of the lid also with coupling wings to the body of the branch (6) , as well as peripherally it is provided with coupling and clamping means (24), as a flange on the clamping means (25) of the upper part of the device. The lower base of the device is therefore made up of deposits
(3 y 4), limitados por las paredes del dispositivo, el cilindro interior (12) y el fondo abatible (9), el cual a partir de una posición erguida, vertical y de una forma continua con el plano separador (8), se abate según se muestra en la figura 1 , hasta que dicho fondo apoya sobre los conos (11), gracias a la bisagra (10). Esta disposición implica que la altura de estos conos es prácticamente la altura de la base inferior y por lo tanto de los respectivos depósitos (3 y 4).(3 and 4), limited by the walls of the device, the inner cylinder (12) and the folding bottom (9), which from an upright, vertical position and in a continuous way with the separating plane (8), it is folded as shown in figure 1, until said bottom rests on the cones (11), thanks to the hinge (10). This arrangement implies that the height of these cones is practically the height of the lower base and therefore of the respective deposits (3 and 4).
Este fondo abatible (9), determina unas dimensiones de manera que, una vez abatido, éste no llegue a tocar periféricamente con las paredes del dispositivo, permitiendo un cierto contacto entre el agua del interior de los depósitos (3,4) y la tierra alojada en parte superior de la base. Con esta disposición se facilita, por un lado este contacto con el fin de humedecer la tierra y que agua suba por capilaridad y por otro, que en un momento dado, estos fondos (9) se puedan desabatir dejando accesible el compartimento de los depósitos para su limpieza; teniendo en cuenta también que en su posición de trabajo, es decir, abatidos, se favorece el transporte de los dispositivos, ya que se pueden insertar unos dentro de otros eliminando espacios muertos con un mayor aprovechamiento y reduciendo costes.This collapsible bottom (9), determines dimensions so that, once dejected, it does not touch peripherally with the walls of the device, allowing a certain contact between the water inside the tanks (3,4) and the earth housed in the upper part of the base. With this provision it is facilitated, on the one hand this contact in order to moisten the earth and that water rises by capillarity and on the other, that at any given time, these funds (9) can be unattached leaving the deposit compartment accessible for its cleaning; also taking into account that in their working position, that is, dejected, the transport of the devices is favored, since they can be inserted inside each other eliminating spaces dead with greater use and reducing costs.
Los conos (11) quedan dispuestos en el seno del fondo (9), de modo que como se ha mencionado anteriormente, al abatirlo este fondo descanse sobre los lados menores de estos conos, los cuales apoyan a su vez sobre el fondo (26) de los depósitos. Estos conos (11) disponen de una o varias ranuras (13) las cuales permiten el contacto directo de la tierra, de la cual se rellenan estos conos y el resto de la oquedad que aloja la rama, con el agua existente en los depósitos (3 y 4) provocando el humedecimiento de la tierra por capilaridad.The cones (11) are arranged in the bottom of the bottom (9), so that as mentioned above, when this bottom is lowered, it rests on the smaller sides of these cones, which rest on the bottom (26) of deposits. These cones (11) have one or more grooves (13) which allow direct contact of the earth, from which these cones and the rest of the cavity that houses the branch are filled, with the water in the tanks ( 3 and 4) causing the humidification of the earth by capillarity.
En el interior de esta base inferior, queda conformado un cilindro (12) que alberga un cono (7) formado por aletas que por deformación elástica abrazan el cuerpo de la rama (6) ciñiéndose a la misma, impidiendo que la tierra se pudiera salir por intersticios existentes entre la rama y este cono, de manera que, una vez extraída la rama el cono tiende a cerrarse hasta copar el mínimo diámetro.Inside this lower base, a cylinder (12) is formed that houses a cone (7) formed by fins that by elastic deformation embrace the body of the branch (6) sticking to it, preventing the earth from leaving by existing interstices between the branch and this cone, so that once the branch is removed the cone tends to close until the minimum diameter is covered.
El cuerpo del dispositivo es esencialmente tronco-cónico, portando sobre sus paredes, distribuidos de manera óptima varios canales (14) consistentes en conducciones capilares en contacto inferiormente con los depósitos inferiores de agua, y superiormente con la tierra alojada de una manera longitudinal, de manera que, por tensión superficial el agua ascienda desde la base inferior hasta las cotas más alejadas, siendo la tierra la que absorbe esta agua ascendente, reforzando la acción de los conos (11) ya mencionados.The body of the device is essentially truncated-conical, bearing on its walls, optimally distributed several channels (14) consisting of capillary conduits in contact inferiorly with the lower water deposits, and superiorly with the earth housed in a longitudinal manner, of so that, due to surface tension, the water rises from the lower base to the farthest levels, with the earth absorbing this rising water, reinforcing the action of the cones (11) already mentioned.
Otra utilidad de estas acanaladuras capilares (14) es la de servir de guía a las raíces en su desarrollo, ya que en condiciones normales, las raíces una vez entran en contacto con las paredes, tienden a continuarlas formando con el tiempo una maraña de raíces que no favorecen el sistema radicular. Sin embargo, cuando las raíces que crecen de la rama (6), se encuentran con la pared y con estas acanaladuras (14), crecen en el sentido vertical del canal de manera que, estas se desarrollan en el sentido descendente hacia los depósitos de agua (3, 4), pudiendo incluso penetrar a estos a través de las pequeñas rendijas existentes entre el fondo (9) y las paredes, facilitando un desarrollo de las raíces más controlado y favorable. Así mismo, tanto los conos (11) del fondo (9) como estos conductos capilares (14) también permiten el paso inverso de agua, es decir, que cuando la tierra dispone de agua excesiva, ésta por decantación desciende por estos mismos medios hacia los depósitos inferiores (3,4) quedando alojada aquí.Another utility of these capillary grooves (14) is to serve as a guide to the roots in their development, since under normal conditions, the roots once come into contact with the walls, tend to continue forming a tangle of roots over time. that do not favor the root system. However, when the roots that grow from the branch (6), meet the wall and with these grooves (14), they grow in the vertical direction of the channel so that they develop in the descending direction towards the deposits of water (3, 4), being able to even penetrate these through the small cracks between the bottom (9) and the walls, facilitating a more controlled and favorable root development. Likewise, both the cones (11) of the bottom (9) and these capillary ducts (14) also allow the inverse passage of water, that is, when the land has excessive water, this by decantation descends by these same means to the lower deposits (3,4) staying here.
La tapa cónica circular (21), se acopla perfectamente a la parte superior del cuerpo del dispositivo, con el fin de evitar que el interior pierda humedad y calor, favoreciendo las condiciones de un mini invernadero y el perfecto desarrollo de la nueva planta o árbol. Para ello, dispone de una abertura radial (22), la cual se abre para permitir el paso de la rama (6) hasta que alcanza el cono (23), que al igual que el cono inferior (7) se compone de una serie de láminas que abrazan al cuerpo de la rama y favorece por su disposición invertida la entrada de agua desde el exterior.The circular conical cover (21), fits perfectly to the upper part of the device body, in order to prevent the interior from losing moisture and heat, favoring the conditions of a mini greenhouse and the perfect development of the new plant or tree. For this, it has a radial opening (22), which opens to allow the passage of the branch (6) until it reaches the cone (23), which like the lower cone (7) is composed of a series of sheets that embrace the body of the branch and favor by its inverted disposition the entrance of water from the outside.
Periféricamente se dota de un sistema de pestaña (24), que se corresponde con un regruesamiento del perfil superior (25) del dispositivo, de modo que se genere un ambiente lo más cerrado posible y estanco. Con esta tapadera se permite la entrada de agua desde el exterior, a la vez que reduce la superficie de evaporación, haciendo de invernadero y condensando el agua que volverá goteando.Peripherally it is provided with a flange system (24), which corresponds to a thickening of the upper profile (25) of the device, so that an environment as closed as possible and sealed is generated. With this cover the entrance of water from the outside is allowed, at the same time that it reduces the surface of evaporation, doing of greenhouse and condensing the water that will return dripping.
El presente dispositivo tiene, preferentemente dos agujeros (20), en la parte superior, para utilizarlos en caso de que se precise enderezar la rama (6) mediante su atado al tutor o tronco principal. Así mismo, las solapas (16 y 17) que dimanan de sus respectivas semipartes (2, 1), se inserta la solapa (16) entre las solapas (17), de manera que el elemento macho (18) se coloque en la oquedad (19) de la solapa (17), no siendo posible su liberación mediante movimientos involuntarios, lo que hace que todo el conjunto del dispositivo quede fijado y seguro, abrazando parte de la rama (6), impidiendo que se suelte y se abra.The present device preferably has two holes (20), in the upper part, for use if it is necessary to straighten the branch (6) by attaching it to the tutor or main trunk. Likewise, the flaps (16 and 17) emanating from their respective semi-parts (2, 1), the flap (16) is inserted between the flaps (17), so that the male element (18) is placed in the recess (19) of the flap (17), its release not being possible by involuntary movements, which makes the whole device set secure and secure, hugging part of the branch (6), preventing it from releasing and opening.
Su aplicación y funcionamiento es bien sencilla, para ello, previo al implante se cortará la corteza (hacer liberianos), se le dará baño de enraizadores o bien se harán unos cortes para activar las brotacíones o no si se disponen de yemas. Llenar de turba o tierra con geles hidratantes para asegurar una buena humedad durante el periodo radicular. No obstante, el tallo (6) seguirá recibiendo nutrientes de la planta madre por los haces leñosos, sin necesidad de recurrir a sus propias reservas como ocurre con los esquejes que requieren de gran humedad y temperatura y se coloca en el interior del dispositivo. Este se encuentra en posición abierta unidas ambas partes (1 y 2) por medio de la bisagra (15), longitudinal a todo el cuerpo, con los fondos abatidos sobre sus respectivas bisagras (10), formando los depósitos (3,4) y apoyado sobre los conos (11); quedando todos los compartimentos con sus respectivos elementos alojados, es decir, el cuerpo dispone de la tierra o turba y los depósitos pueden contener agua.Its application and operation is very simple, for this, prior to the implant the cortex will be cut (make Liberians), it will be given a root bath or some cuts will be made to activate the sprouts or not if buds are available. Fill peat or soil with moisturizing gels to ensure good humidity during the root period. However, the stem (6) will continue to receive nutrients from the mother plant through the woody bundles, without having to resort to its own reserves, as is the case with cuttings that require high humidity and temperature and is placed inside the device. This is in open position joined both parts (1 and 2) by means of the hinge (15), longitudinal to the whole body, with the bottoms folded on their respective hinges (10), forming the deposits (3,4) and supported on the cones (11); leaving all the compartments with their respective elements housed, that is, the body has the earth or peat and the deposits can contain water.
Se abraza con este dispositivo el tronco de la rama (6), de manera que, esta quede alojada en el cono (7) inferior. Una vez en esta posición, se cierra el dispositivo, haciendo uso de su sistema de cierre mediante las solapas (16 y 17) y el machihembrado (18 y 19), originando que las aletas del cono (7) se acoplen al diámetro de la rama. Por la parte superior se coloca la tapa cónica (21) cerrándose al cuerpo, para ello, se abre la abertura (22) y se hace pasar por ella a la rama (6), hasta que queda alojada en el cono (23), el cual también se acopla al diámetro de la rama.The trunk of the branch (6) is embraced with this device, so that it is housed in the lower cone (7). Once in this position, the device is closed, using its closing system by means of the flaps (16 and 17) and the tongue and groove (18 and 19), causing the cone fins (7) to fit the diameter of the branch. The conical cover (21) is placed at the top, closing at body, for this, the opening (22) is opened and it is passed through it to the branch (6), until it is housed in the cone (23), which is also coupled to the diameter of the branch.
Con todo cerrado, los conos abatidos inferiores (11) a través de sus rendijas (13) ponen en contacto la tierra alojada en el cono con el agua, de manera que, por capilaridad esta agua ascienda mojando la tierra en contacto. Por otro lado, los capilares (14) también provocan la ascensión del agua, pero en este caso por tensión superficial, de forma que la tierra en contacto con este capilar quedará mojada transmitiendo esta humedad al resto.With everything closed, the lower collapsed cones (11) through their slits (13) put the earth in the cone in contact with the water, so that, by capillarity, this water ascends by wetting the earth in contact. On the other hand, the capillaries (14) also cause the water to rise, but in this case due to surface tension, so that the earth in contact with this capillary will be wet transmitting this moisture to the rest.
Como puede verse en las figuras 6 y 8 el dispositivo mejorado puede ejecutarse realizando los semicuerpos (1) y (2) en un material translúcido, inyectándolos unidos mediante una bisagra vertical (15) y siendo susceptibles de acoplarse a lo largo de una solapa hembra (17) para constituir una maceta troncocónica, pudiéndose apreciar en la figura 1 el interior de los depósitos de agua que están delimitados por un cilindro interior (12), un fondo del dispositivo (26) y un fondo intermedio (9) que presenta conos (11) para entrada de agua, así como por las superficies exteriores de los semicuerpos (1) (2).As can be seen in Figures 6 and 8, the improved device can be executed by making the half-bodies (1) and (2) in a translucent material, injecting them together by means of a vertical hinge (15) and being able to be coupled along a female flap (17) to constitute a truncated conical pot, being able to see in figure 1 the interior of the water tanks that are delimited by an inner cylinder (12), a bottom of the device (26) and an intermediate bottom (9) that presents cones (11) for water ingress, as well as for the outer surfaces of the semi-bodies (1) (2).
El sistema de cierre a bayoneta comprende un alojamiento en "L" (51) en la solapa hembra (17) y un tetón de fijación (50) provisto de una ranura diametral (53) unido a la solapa macho (16), tal como se representa en las figuras 9, 11 y 12. Una pantalla opaca (52) provista de orificios primarios de fijación (61) y orificios secundarios de fijación (60) abraza a los semicuerpos (1) (2). Para montar la pantalla opaca (52) sobre los semicuerpos (1) (2) se introducen en primer lugar los orificios primarios de fijación (61) en los tetones de fijación (50) y después los orificios secundarios de fijación (60) de la pantalla opaca (52). Sendas arandelas (54) de fijación se ajustan a presión posteriormente en los tetones de fijación (50) con lo que la pantalla opaca (52) quedará inmovilizada tal como ve en la figura 12. Para retirar la pantalla opaca (52), y tras extraer las arandelas (54) de fijación, se puede traccionar de sendas solapas (59) que a este fin presenta la pantalla opaca (52) en las proximidades de los orificios secundarios de fijación (60) Una variante especialmente económica para realizar los medios de visualización se ha representado en la figura 7, en la que puede apreciarse una banda vertical translúcida (58) a través de la que puede apreciarse el fondo intermedio (9) y los conos (11), pudiéndose de esta forma controlar la cantidad de agua que contienen los depósitos, así como el crecimiento de las raíces en la parte superior del dispositivo. Por su parte la tapa (21), que presenta una abertura radial (22) y un embudo (23) para recibir la rama, puede ir equipada de orejetas (55) provistas de orificios de atado (57) que se introducen en alojamientos de orejeta (56) que presentan los semicuerpos (1) (2). Este dispositivo permite la creación de plantas ejemplares en la misma temporada con tallos de mayor diámetro, de hasta 25 mm., y de altura considerable, que se pueden tratar para obtener las ramificaciones en los ornamentales y frutales. Con las características mencionadas en la presente memoria se consigue la regulación de la evaporación y mantener saturado el estrato terreo. Este dispositivo puede ser abierto en todo momento para comprobar el grado de enraizamiento y decidir su implante definitivo en tierra o no y sin perjuicio para la planta a la que no se le molesta en sus funciones de su desarrollo radicular y aéreo. Así mismo, el dispositivo de la presente invención es susceptible de ser elaborada sin los senos (3 y 4) de agua. Una vez descrita suficientemente la naturaleza del presente invento, así como una forma de llevarlo a la práctica, sólo nos queda por añadir que en su conjunto y partes que lo componen es posible introducir cambios de forma, materiales y de disposición, siempre y cuando dichas alteraciones no varíen substancialmente las características del invento que se reivindican a continuación: The bayonet closure system comprises an "L" housing (51) in the female flap (17) and a fixing stud (50) provided with a diametral groove (53) attached to the male flap (16), such as It is shown in Figures 9, 11 and 12. An opaque screen (52) provided with primary fixing holes (61) and secondary fixing holes (60) hugs the half bodies (1) (2). To mount the opaque screen (52) on the half-bodies (1) (2), the primary fixing holes (61) are first introduced into the fixing lugs (50) and then the secondary fixing holes (60) of the opaque screen (52). Two fixing washers (54) are then pressure-adjusted in the fixing lugs (50) so that the opaque screen (52) will be immobilized as seen in Figure 12. To remove the opaque screen (52), and after Extracting the fixing washers (54), it can be pulled from two flaps (59) that for this purpose presents the opaque screen (52) in the vicinity of the secondary fixing holes (60) A particularly economical variant for making the means of visualization has been shown in figure 7, in which a translucent vertical band (58) can be seen through which the intermediate bottom (9) and the cones (11) can be appreciated, thus being able to control the amount of water They contain deposits, as well as root growth on the top of the device. On the other hand, the cover (21), which has a radial opening (22) and a funnel (23) to receive the branch, can be equipped with lugs (55) provided with tie holes (57) that are inserted into housing of lug (56) presenting the half bodies (1) (2). This device allows the creation of exemplary plants in the same season with stems of greater diameter, up to 25 mm., And of considerable height, which can be treated to obtain the ramifications in the ornamental and fruit trees. With the characteristics mentioned herein, evaporation regulation is achieved and the earth layer is saturated. This device can be opened at all times to check the degree of rooting and decide its final implant on land or not and without prejudice to the plant that is not bothered in its functions of its root and aerial development. Likewise, the device of the present invention is capable of being made without sinuses (3 and 4) of water. Once the nature of the present invention has been sufficiently described, as well as a way of putting it into practice, it only remains to be added that as a whole and its component parts it is possible to introduce changes in form, materials and arrangement, provided that Alterations do not substantially vary the characteristics of the invention claimed below:
