Abstract

Piece for termination of irrigation hose, of the type that ensures the fold of an irrigation hose, characterized by having the following form: the upper part would be constituted by an upward arc (1), symmetrical with respect to the vertical axis, of five eighths of circumference, which is joined through a straight secant line (2) at the end of said arc, with the beginning at its most distant point with respect to this arc, from another inverse arc (3) with respect to the axis horizontal, and symmetrical to it, and of equal size at the bottom of the piece, and whose center would carry some vertical displacement downward with respect to the center of the upper arch. Said piece could be either stainless steel wire or galvanized sufficiently thick or sufficiently strong plastic. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

Description

Part for irrigation hose termination.

Object of the invention

It is a piece, with a possible variant design with the same functionality, which will be placed at the end of an irrigation hose in order to seal by strangulation the termination of the hose. While in principle this piece has It has been designed for drip irrigation hoses, it can also be apply to any other type of irrigation hose, provided when the part in question is properly manufactured for the hose diameter.

Background

Normal, to seal the end of a hose is to place a terminator at the end. On the hoses of drip irrigation, a cylindrical terminator is usually inserted inside the hose as a plug sealing the end. From experience I can say that the terminators that currently there are in the market for drip irrigation hoses, late or they end up releasing early, so in the end to ensure you have to put a clamp on them, which makes it more expensive and complicated quite the subject. When a terminator is released, as a consequence of the pressure that is reached inside the hose, it goes off hard, getting lost normally. In these situations, if not we have another terminator, to get by, what is usually done normally, it is to bend the hose on itself, tying and adjusting a string around it to prevent it from unfolding, from way that ends by throttling the end of is. The drawback of securing the fold with a rope, which is the fastest and most economical way to seal a hose irrigation is that rodents, especially in the field, end eating the strings, leaving the hoses open in their extremes

Description of the invention

The present invention is intended, thanks to any of the two design variants of the piece here describe, ensure in a quick, simple and economical way the bending of an irrigation hose on itself in order to plug the end of it.

Both the piece in question and its variant, they could be either stainless steel or galvanized wire, what thick enough, twisted so that it takes the form suitable part, or plastic, thick enough and molded to the proper shape. Obviously, one of the advantages that has a piece of wire, is that rodents can't spoil; in places where there are no rodents, the plastic piece might be more appropriate, since it is normal for it to be more economical

Brief description of the drawings

In figure 1, the shape of the piece, which has been divided into three parts in order to be able to Explain your form

In figure 2, you can see how the hose (4), once said piece has been placed in it.

In figure 3, the shape of the variant of the piece in question, which has been divided into five parties in order to explain their form.

In figure 4, you can see how the hose (4), once it has been placed in this, the variant of the piece.

Description of a preferred embodiment

As can be seen in figure 1, the piece in question, it would have more or less the following form: the part upper would be constituted by an upward arc (1), symmetrical with respect to the vertical axis, five eighths of circumference, which joins through a straight secant line (2) at the end of said arc, with the beginning at its most distant from this arc, from another inverse arc (3) with respect to the horizontal axis, and symmetrical to this, and of equal size in the part from the bottom of the piece, and whose center would take some displacement vertical down with respect to the center of the upper arch.

The way to use this piece is as follows: the end of the hose (4) will be introduced through one of the two rounded parts of the piece, passing through a piece of hose; the last piece of hose will bend for a little less than half, with the shortest piece being closer to the piece, and after the longest piece, we will introduce it in the other part rounded piece, moving as far as possible the piece towards the fold, as can be seen in figure 2. Of this In a quick and simple way, we ensure the fold of the hose, for which it is going to get the seal of this, in its termination.

A possible variant of this piece is the one defined in figure 3, which would have the following form: the part lower would be constituted by a downward arc (5), symmetrical with respect to the vertical axis, of five eighths of circumference, from which would leave from its left end a straight line horizontal (6) towards the right end of said arc, so that once that end was reached, it would come out perpendicularly, upwards a small straight line (7), from which it would leave its time, perpendicular to the latter and to the left, a straight line (8), parallel to the previous horizontal line and of same size as this, until reaching the height of the point of origin of the parallel bliss, from where it will leave perpendicularly down a small straight line (9).

The way to use this piece is as follows: the end of the hose will be introduced through the rounded part of the piece, passing through a piece of hose; the piece of hose passed, it will bend for slightly less than half, leaving the shorter piece closer to the piece, and then the longer piece, we will press the hose on the part that gives to the piece, to put the hose part pleated by the area of the piece prepared for this purpose, as described in the drawing "4". In this way, quickly and easily, we ensure the hose bending, which is going to get the  shutter of this in its completion.

This second variant has the advantage with respect to the first, that the fact of pleating, and holding the part of the hose to which the water will not reach, is intended secure the part in its correct working position, restricting in this way any movement that could bring the piece out of the work position for which it has been designed.

Obviously, there will be pieces of different sizes, in order to cover the entire range of irrigation hoses in the market to which this can be applied system.

Claims (2)

1. Irrigation hose termination piece, of the type that ensures the bending of an irrigation hose, characterized by having the following form: the upper part would be constituted by an upward arc (1), symmetrical with respect to the vertical axis , of five eighths of circumference, which joins through a secant straight line (2) at the end of said arc, with the beginning at its most distant point with respect to this arc, of another inverse arc (3) with respect to the axis horizontal, and symmetrical to this, and of equal size in the part inferior of the piece, and whose center would take certain vertical displacement downwards with respect to the center of the superior arc. Said piece could be either stainless steel or galvanized wire thick enough or plastic strong enough. 2. Irrigation hose termination piece, according to claim 1, characterized by having this other shape: the lower part would be constituted by a downward arc (5), symmetrical with respect to the vertical axis, five octaves in circumference, from which a straight horizontal line (6) would leave from its left end towards the right end of said arc, so that once said end was reached, a small straight line (7) would rise perpendicularly, from which it would in turn , to the left and perpendicular to the latter and parallel to the previous line, another straight line (8) of the same size as said parallel, until reaching the height of the point of origin of said parallel, from where it will leave so perpendicular down a very short straight line (9).
