Abstract

Umbrella shaped device to protect food exposed for consumption, characterized by a design that resembles an open umbrella or a mushroom with the extended hat that is placed on the plate, tray or surface where food is exposed. The material of construction of the device is transparent plastic type methacrylate or other similar polymer, in such a way that allows to see the food.

Brief description of the drawings

Para facilitar la comprensión de lo que antecede se incorporan los siguientes dibujos:To facilitate the understanding of the foregoing The following drawings are incorporated:

\bullet Figura 1: Representa un dispositivo de protección con cubierta en forma de casquete esférico.Figure 1: Represents a device of protection with spherical cap-shaped cover.

\bullet Figura 2: Representa un dispositivo de protección con cubierta en forma de plato invertido.Figure 2: Represents a device of protection with cover in the form of inverted plate.

Los números 1, 2 y 3 se refieren a la cubierta, mástil o pie y ventosa respectivamente. El número 4 se refiere al plato.The numbers 1, 2 and 3 refer to the cover, mast or foot and suction cup respectively. The number 4 refers to plate.

Preferred embodiment

Un modo de diseño preferente de la invención es el que se asemeja a un paraguas o un champiñón con el sombrero extendido cuyo mástil o pie se fija mediante una ventosa al plato en el cual se depositan los alimentos. El dispositivo consta de tres partes.A preferred design mode of the invention is the one that resembles an umbrella or a mushroom with the hat extended whose mast or foot is fixed by a suction cup to the plate in which food is deposited. The device consists of three parts

1. Cubierta.1. Cover.

2. Mástil o palo.2. Mast or stick.

3. Ventosa o sistema de fijación3. Suction cup or fixing system

       \vskip1.000000\baselineskip\ vskip1.000000 \ baselineskip

1. Cover

\bullet?: \vtcortauna El diseño preferente de la cubierta es el de un casquete esférico perteneciente hipotéticamente a una esfera de gran tamaño, entre 1 y 3 metros de diámetro, de material plástico traslúcido preferentemente metacrilato u otro polímero similar. El espesor de la cubierta será el menor posible que le aporte la consistencia suficiente. También podrá tener la forma de un plato invertido, es decir, una cubierta circular plana que acaba en una corona circular en plano inclinado hacia abajo para favorecer la protección. Dado que la cubierta tiene por objeto cubrir los alimentos situados en el plato sobre el que se instala, si éste tiene formas distintas a la circular la cubierta también las tendrá y así la cubierta del dispositivo también podrá tener forma elíptica o rectangular para cubrir bandejas o platos de formas rectangulares. \ vtcortauna The preferred design of the cover is that of a spherical cap hypothetically belonging to a large sphere, between 1 and 3 meters in diameter, of translucent plastic material preferably methacrylate or other similar polymer. The thickness of the roof will be the smallest possible that will provide sufficient consistency. It may also have the shape of an inverted plate, that is, a flat circular cover that ends in a circular crown in a plane inclined downwards to favor protection. Since the cover is intended to cover the food placed on the plate on which it is installed, if it has different shapes than the circular one, the cover will also have them and thus the device cover may also have an elliptical or rectangular shape to cover trays or Rectangular shaped plates.

\bullet?: \vtcortauna La cubierta en el centro presenta un orificio donde se inserta y ajusta el pie o mástil. \ vtcortauna The cover in the center has a hole where the foot or mast is inserted and adjusted.

\bullet?: \vtcortauna El diámetro de la cubierta es variable en función del plato que se pretenda cubrir, siendo algo superior al del plato. En algunos casos si el plato a cubrir es de gran diámetro se podrá dotar a la cubierta de tirantes en su borde para fijarla al plato, aparte del mástil, y así mejorar su estabilidad. \ vtcortauna The diameter of the cover is variable depending on the plate that is intended to be covered, being somewhat higher than the plate. In some cases, if the plate to be covered is large in diameter, the cover can be provided with braces on its edge to fix it to the plate, apart from the mast, and thus improve its stability.

2. Foot or mast

\bullet?: \vtcortauna Dispone de dos piezas, el mástil propiamente dicho y el cono roscado para fijarlo a la cubierta. \ vtcortauna It has two pieces, the mast itself and the threaded cone to fix it to the cover.

\bullet?: \vtcortauna Es la pieza intermedia entre la ventosa o dispositivo de sujeción al plato y la cubierta. Presenta una sección circular. Su diámetro será el menor posible que aporte una adecuada estabilidad al conjunto. \ vtcortauna It is the intermediate piece between the suction cup or clamping device to the plate and the cover. It presents a circular section. Its diameter will be the smallest possible that provides adequate stability to the whole.

\bullet?: \vtcortauna El extremo superior está roscado. La rosca atraviesa la cubierta por su orificio central donde se enrosca al cono que tiene rosca en su interior, lo que posibilita el correcto ensamblaje entre la cubierta y el mástil. \ vtcortauna The upper end is threaded. The thread crosses the cover through its central hole where the cone is threaded inside, which allows the correct assembly between the cover and the mast.

\bullet?: \vtcortauna El extremo inferior también esta roscado y se enrosca a la ventosa o dispositivo de sujeción al plato. \ vtcortauna The lower end is also threaded and threaded to the suction cup or clamping device.

\bullet?: \vtcortauna La longitud del pie es variable dependiendo de la altura de los alimentos que se vayan a proteger. \ vtcortauna The length of the foot is variable depending on the height of the food to be protected.

3. Suction cup or fixing system

\bullet?: \vtcortauna Se trata de una ventosa o sistema similar que sujeto mediante rosca al pie consiga fijar el dispositivo al plato de manera estable. \ vtcortauna It is a suction cup or similar system that, by means of a thread to the foot, fixes the device to the plate in a stable manner.

Como se puede apreciar en la descripción, el dispositivo es perfectamente desmontable en sus tres partes y todas ellas son de fácil limpieza y desinfección.As you can see in the description, the device is perfectly removable in its three parts and all They are easy to clean and disinfect.

Una variante del dispositivo podría ser que el pie o mástil en lugar de ajustarse en el centro de la cubierta y del plato se ajustase en un lateral de los mismosA variant of the device could be that the foot or mast instead of fitting in the center of the deck and of the plate fit on one side of them

Claims

1. Umbrella-shaped device to protect exposed food for consumption, characterized by a design that resembles an open umbrella or mushroom with an extended hat that is placed on the plate, tray or surface where food is exposed. The construction material of the device is of transparent plastic type methacrylate or other similar polymer, so that it allows to see the food.
