Multiple-cone implant for plant species
View Patent ↗A multiple conical implant with its accessories is provided to introduce agents in a vegetal body used for treatment of trees and plants. A cannula conical implant for endotherapy in plants is made of plastic or other biocompatible, innocuous material and susceptible of being sterilized. The multiple conical implant may be adapted to any irrigation systems of low pressure whether by gravity or by external sources of energy. The implant includes a permanent and hermetic access through a main body with a conical nozzle with access to a helical hole and a fastening nut with a connector body with protrusions of two cones formed by a herringbone inverted shape and its own fastening nut with two inner diameters to couple the conical end of a hose, the connector body with protrusions and the main body.
1. A multiple conical implant to introduce pure agents of solutes and substances through the implant to the plant's distribution channels, said multiple conical implant comprising:
a main body ( 19 ) having an outer conical chisel tip ( 11 ) on one end, an outer fastening thread ( 13 ) with an inner conical section ( 14 ) on an opposite end, and a section of perforated tube between both ends;
a connector body ( 15 ) with a hose protrusion ( 18 ) and two cone protrusions ( 16 , 17 ) formed as an inverted herringbone shape, said connector body ( 15 ) having one end configured to be coupled to said inner conical section ( 14 );
a fastening nut ( 25 ) of hexagonal head having a first diameter with a section of inner thread ( 26 ) configured to receive the outer fastening thread ( 13 ) and a having a second diameter with a tubular section ( 27 ), wherein said second diameter is smaller than said first diameter; and
a connection hose ( 22 ) having a flat tubular section ( 28 ) and a funnel tip ( 23 ) on an end thereof configured to introduce fluids, wherein said fastening nut ( 25 ) forms a sealing between the main body ( 19 ) and the connection hose ( 22 ) when tightened with said connector body ( 15 ) within said main body ( 19 ) and said connection hose ( 22 ).
2. The multiple conical implant according to claim 1 , wherein the main body ( 19 ) has an end of outer conical section ( 20 ) next to the threaded section ( 13 ) and said inner conical section ( 14 ) is provided under the outer fastening thread ( 13 ).
3. The multiple conical implant according to claim 1 , wherein said connector body ( 15 ) has a flat tapered-shaped outer conical section ( 24 ) configured to be coupled with the inner conical section ( 14 ) of the main body ( 19 ) to form the sealing between the main body ( 19 ) and the connection hose ( 22 ) by tightening the external fastening thread ( 13 ) with the section of inner thread ( 26 ) of said fastening nut ( 25 ).
4. The multiple conical implant according to claim 1 , wherein said two cone protrusions ( 16 , 17 ) are configured to be inserted within the flat tubular section ( 28 ) to expand said connection hose ( 22 ) forming a sealing between said two cone protrusions ( 16 , 17 ) and inner walls of said flat tubular section ( 28 ), said sealing being complementary to the sealing formed by said fastening nut ( 25 ).
5. The multiple conical implant according to claim 1 , wherein said hose protrusion ( 18 ) blocks the funnel tip ( 23 ) when the fastening nut ( 25 ) is tightened.
6. The multiple conical implant according to claim 1 , wherein said section of a perforated tube comprises a helical perforated tube ( 12 ).
