Description

{Aid bag for fruit protection}

The present invention relates to a windbreak bag for protecting fruits grown in an orchard, and more specifically, to a windbreak bag for protecting fruits, which has a body formed of a woven film made of high-density polyethylene material, and which accommodates fruits inside the body to safely protect the fruits from hazards such as heavy rain, hail, and birds.

In general, in orchards that grow fruits such as pears, apples, grapes, and peaches, fruit protection bags are widely used to cover the exterior of the fruit after the fruit has reached a certain ripeness in order to prevent damage from birds or pests and to increase the commercial value of the fruit.

Such fruit protection bags are made of vinyl or paper, and are wrapped around the fruit through openings formed on one or both sides, and the top of the fruit is secured with string or wire.

However, since the envelopes mentioned above are easily peeled or torn by natural environmental factors such as wind, rain, and hail, they cannot effectively protect the fruit from birds, pests, etc., and there is a problem in that they lower the commercial value of the fruit.

Accordingly, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a fruit bag using synthetic resin has already been proposed. Such a fruit bag has an outer shell made of a synthetic resin film mixed with an insect repellent, and has a number of microscopic ventilation holes formed on the surface, and an inner shell made of a paper bag, thereby increasing the bird-proofing and insect-repelling efficiency.

However, conventional fruit bags using synthetic resin are packaged by fastening the top surface of the bag with metal pins. Since the metal pins must be fastened one by one, the work is very cumbersome and takes a considerable amount of time, which significantly reduces workability.

Hereinafter, the configuration and operation according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

This is intended to explain in detail so that a person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can easily practice the contents of the present invention, and does not mean that the technical idea and scope of the present invention are limited due to this.

In addition, when adding reference signs to components of each drawing, it should be noted that identical components are indicated with the same signs as much as possible even if they are shown on different drawings, and terms specifically defined in consideration of the structure and operation of the present invention may vary depending on the intention or custom of the user or operator, and the definitions of such terms should be determined based on the contents throughout this specification.

Additionally, throughout the specification, whenever a part is said to "include" a component, this does not mean that it excludes other components, but rather that it may include other components, unless otherwise specifically stated.

First, the configuration of the fruit protection bag (100) according to the present invention can be broadly divided into a body part (10) having one side open and forming a space part (11) to accommodate a fruit (1) therein, an opening part (13) selectively opened to allow the fruit (1) to be inserted or removed from the other side of the body part (10), and a locking part (20) that allows a branch (2) of the fruit (1) to be placed between the inner facing surfaces of the opening part (13) and locks the opening part (13) by joining the facing surfaces. The configuration of the present invention divided in this way will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings provided as examples, as follows.

First, the body part (10)

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a space (11) of a predetermined size is formed so as to accommodate a fruit (1) therein. In this case, the shape of the body (10) may also be changed to a corresponding size or shape depending on the size or shape of the fruit (1).

For example, if the fruit accommodated in the space (11) is grapes, the body (10) can be formed to be longer in the vertical direction up and down, and in the case of apples, pears, or peaches, the left-right width and the up-and-down length can be formed to be similar or the same.

In addition, an open portion (12) that is not sealed may be formed on one side of the body portion (10), that is, the lower portion of the body portion (10). In other words, by not sealing the lower portion of the bird-proof bag (100) that is not damaged by birds, the harvesting time of the fruit (1) can be easily determined by inserting the worker's hand into the space (11) from the lower portion of the body portion (10) or by visually inspecting the fruit (1) at the ripening stage.

In addition, the material of the body part (10) may be a woven film formed of a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material, and one or both sides of the woven film may further include a coating of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) resin.

The above polyethylene is a thermoplastic resin made by polymerizing ethylene. It has excellent chemical resistance, electrical insulation, moisture resistance, cold resistance, and processability, and is used for insulating materials, dishes, miscellaneous goods, industrial fibers, paints, etc., and is a resin with advantages such as low specific gravity and excellent processability, which increases the elasticity and durability of the body part (10) and, since it does not absorb water, there is no concern about bacteria, etc. breeding. Accordingly, since the insect-proof bag (100) is unlikely to deform or discolor, it can be covered over the fruit (1) during the growing season to safely protect the fruit (1), and at the harvest season, the insect-proof bag (100) can be collected and reused the following year, so that it can be used for a long period of time over several years.

The above opening (13) is

The other side of the body part (10) can be opened so that the fruit (1) can be easily inserted or removed, and this opening (13) can be selectively opened and closed by a locking part (20) to be described later.

In addition, the opening (13) may be provided with a concavely formed fixing groove (13a) so that the branch (2) of the fruit (1) is stably placed at the center of the joined opposing surfaces. Accordingly, even if the thickness of the branch (2) of the growing fruit (1) increases, interference with or pressure from the opening (13) can be prevented in advance.

The lock (20) is

When the above opening (13) is opened, each can be provided on the inner surface facing each other, and such a configuration can be configured to be easily attached and detached by attaching a Velcro tape (20a) divided into male and female. Of course, it is not limited to this, and it is of course possible to use a magnet (20b) having magnetism as exemplified in Fig. 3. In this case, the convenience of putting on and taking off the above-mentioned protective bag (100) is improved, and the effect of reducing the working time can be obtained.

Meanwhile, the outer surface of the opening (13) may further include a gripping member (13b) to facilitate the operator's action of locking or unlocking the locking member (20). Such a gripping member (13b) may be formed in a protrusion or band shape to facilitate gripping with the operator's finger, and of course, may also be formed in a ring shape as illustrated in this specification.

In addition, as illustrated in Fig. 4a, the birdcage (100) may be provided with a retroreflective member (30) attached to a specific portion of the outer surface of the body (10) to prevent birds from approaching in advance. Of course, this is not limited to this, and as illustrated in Fig. 4b, the retroreflective member (30) may be attached in a wing shape so that it flutters in the wind.

Briefly explaining the above-mentioned retroreflective member (30), it is a reflection that returns the incident light as it is to the light source. In other words, regardless of the direction and angle at which light enters, the light can be scattered in the direction of the light source by the retroreflective member (30). In particular, when the retroreflective member (30) forms a wing shape, it can stimulate the vision of approaching birds by shaking in the wind and further scattering light, thereby maximizing the deterrence effect.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 5, in addition to the reflective member (30), the outer surface of the body (10) may further include a printed portion (40) on which a photograph or picture of a bird of prey is attached or printed. Here, the bird of prey may include, for example, an eagle or an owl that birds fear. Furthermore, a hologram (41) implemented in different sizes may be provided in the two eyes of the bird of prey. Such a hologram (41) may be attached to the outer surface of the body (10), and may be attached to a portion corresponding to the two eyes of the bird of prey so that the size of the eyes of the bird of prey may be expressed differently depending on the viewing position.

Here, the hologram (41) is, as is well known, a recording medium such as a film or a photosensitive plate in which an interference pattern of light such as laser light is recorded, and has the characteristic of reproducing a three-dimensional stereoscopic image of a target object. That is, the appearance of the stereoscopic image is expressed differently depending on the viewing position. Accordingly, when the bird-proof bag (100) shakes in the wind, it is expressed as if a bird of prey is alive and blinking its eyes, so the birds can feel extreme fear.

Referring to Figure 6, the process of using a fruit protection bag configured in this way for fruit is briefly examined as follows.

First, in orchards where fruits are grown, fruits (1) that have grown to a certain extent are wrapped in a paper bag (3) to shield them from the outside, thereby minimizing damage from various pests and birds, and also improving the characteristics of the fruits (sugar content, acidity, size, appearance, etc.).

At this time, in order to protect the fruit (1) and the outside of the paper bag (3) wrapping the fruit (1), the worker opens the opening (13) of the protective bag (100) and positions the fruit (1) in the space (11). Referring again to FIG. 3, the worker grips the gripping members (13b) formed on both sides of the outer surface of the opening (13) and pulls them with a predetermined force to open the opening (13). Then, when the fruit (1) is inserted into the opened opening (13) and the fruit (1) is positioned in the space (11), the inner facing surfaces of the opening (13) are joined again to close the opening (13). At this time, the branch (2) of the fruit (1) is stably placed in the fixing groove (13a) provided at the center of the opening (13).

The protective bag (100) covered as described above can be covered for about 30 days without causing damage to the fruit (1) because the sugar content of the fruit is low, and during this process, the worker can easily determine the harvest time of the fruit (1) by inserting his/her hand into the opening (12) opened at the bottom of the protective bag (100) and opening the paper bag (3).

Meanwhile, in order to harvest the fruit (1) for which the harvesting period has arrived, a task of retrieving the protective bag (100) from the fruit (1) is performed. At this time, the order of covering the protective bag (100) with the fruit (1) can be reversed. That is, the work of retrieving the protective bag (100) is completed by opening the opening (13) by spreading the holding member (13b) and moving the protective bag (100) downward.

As described above, the detailed description of the present invention has described specific embodiments, but it is obvious that various modifications are possible within the scope that does not depart from the scope of the described contents. Therefore, the scope of the described contents need not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be determined not only by the claims described below but also by equivalents of the claims.
