Description

DESCRIPTION

Grafting utensil

Objective of the invention

The objective of the invention is to facilitate and improve the conditions in the placement of grafts, since, by being able to carry the grafter in our hand, it enables and facilitates the task of tying the plastic tapes on the one hand, and on the other, It makes it easier for us to make both the cuts on the tree to be grafted and the different types of grafting, since due to its design we can exert much more pressure without losing precision, since we basically use the palm of the hand to press.

Background of the invention

There are numerous different models and shapes of grafters that can be found on the market today, in all of them we can find a characteristic, and that is that they are different very sharp iron or steel blades attached to a handle, which is what gives us the possibility of making different cuts both on the trees that we are going to graft, and to make different models and different forms of grafts, in this case what changes is that in the previous models the grafter has to be released or left in order to be able to tying the tape over the graft, with the loss of time that this entails, in the case at hand this cannot happen since the grafter, due to its design, will always be carried comfortably in hand and it will not prevent us from carrying out the task of tying the graft. graft, as well as to make the different cuts as I said before, both on the tree and for the different grafts by having this peculiar shape, since you can exert much more force and have greater control over the cuts we make.

Explanation of the invention

This new model of grafter is composed of a steel or iron blade in the shape of a crescent of about 10 to 12 cm in the convex part (which is the sharp one), and 6 to 7 cm in the concave part that is flattened. This blade is attached to an ergonomic handle of about 7/8 cm, which makes it very comfortable to hold due to its design.

Due to its design and the placement of the handle, which leaves a gap between it and the blade, this new grafter increases the productivity of the operator who handles it, since the task is more comfortable and easier, since more pressure is exerted on the parts where it has to be cut since this is done from the palm of the hand and not from the fingers, which is much weaker, these are simply the ones that control the place where the incision has to be made in the case of the tree or the cut in the case of the graft.

In the vegetal part it also has advantages since the incisions are smaller and less invasive since the cuts are smaller. Economically it is also very advantageous, for the mere fact of not having to leave the grafter's hand, this already represents an advantage and if we add that more force can be exerted together with the control where we can make the cuts, everything together gives us the result that the overall costs of the grafting work will be lower.

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1. Shows the profile of the grafter, the blade (1), the handle (2) and the sharp part of the blade (3).

Figure 2. Shows the plant of the grafter seen from above.

Figure 3.- Shows the elevation of the grafter seen from the front.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

As can be seen in the different drawings and especially in the profile one, it is a blade attached to a handle in which there is a hole to be able to handle it by hand, and which makes it easier to hold the grafter, facilitating both the tying work and the cutting on the trees, as well as to carry out the different grafts.

The design allows us to handle it so that the fingers are between the blade and the handle, so the force to make the cuts will be done with the palm of the hand, which will consequently be greater than with the fingers (which is what it is used for). normally done), these serve to guide the movements and are free to tie the tape without having to release the grafter from your hand, which will save you time and dexterity as it is easier to handle.

Claims (1)
