ES2587410A1 - Short wall smoke (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding) - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a vertical panel that is coupled to the extractor hood to confine, hold and stop the smoke and steam that occur in cooking zones, facilitating suction and preventing odor and fumes from expanding. Rectangular shape panel available in two versions, folding or roll-up adapted to any commercial extractor hood and easily washable in dishwashers.

Description

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a vertical element or partition that separates and / or isolates the smoke that comes out of the cooking zones, acting as a barrier 10 between the area where the smoke is emitted from the rest of the room.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

15 A problem that exists in the extractor hoods is that they let the smoke escape, the suction or extraction capacity of the system itself being insufficient. In addition to the existence of air currents in the room that move the column of smoke, it makes it impossible to extract them properly by the hood located in the vertical. These currents are due to differences

20 temperature, open windows, air conditioning systems, etc ... Another common problem in the cooking zones are the splashes that occur when cooking, these splashes can lead to from simply dirtying the areas surrounding the cooking zone to damage the furniture and kitchen utensils that are nearby.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The installation or device that the invention proposes forms a screen that prevents the circulation of air currents under the hood, so that it prevents the smoke from expanding, getting it to ascend naturally towards the extractor hood.

The function of the invention is to optimize the bell suction process and improve the functionality of any mechanical extraction system by retaining excess smoke or steam until it is finally sucked.

Most of the smoke extraction systems used in kitchens, whether domestic or industrial, do not meet the requirements of the owners and are usually very poor when the emission of smoke is high or the smell is very pronounced.

Another function of the invention is to prevent splashes that occur in the cooking zone from spreading beyond it.

All this is achieved with an extendable curtain piece preferably made of silicone with a shape and size adaptable to commercial bells, preferably rectangular. The device is attached to the bells with magnets and / or suction cups, having at the bottom a counterweight that prevents it from moving.

This device can be folded or rolled up for easy storage. It is also removable for easy cleaning and can be cleaned in the dishwasher. This device tries to solve the aforementioned problems and facilitate the function of the fume hood.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1 illustrates the extended mobile panel, rectangular in shape, not being necessary but this format is recommended. The size and shape is adaptable to commercial bells. Figure 2 shows from another perspective Figure 1, showing the side of Figure 1. Figure 3 refers to the folding system of the panel, so that it is collected in its folding version. Figure 4 shows the same dimensions and characteristics as Figure 1 but in a roll-up version, it does not have the folds characteristic of the folding version. Figure 5 illustrates Figure 4 but in profile, that is, from another perspective, sideways. Figure 6 refers to the folding system of the panel in its roll-up version.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Magnets (1) and / or perforations (2) are incorporated in the upper part of the panel where suction cups can be attached. The letters of the word TOP (3) are recessed at the top.

Depending on the material to which the panel has to be fixed, there are two systems to ensure clamping: magnet and / or suction cup.

The magnets (l) are hidden, embedded in the panel material to fix it to metal surfaces. The suction cups, preferably made of silicone brass, can be fitted in perforations in the upper part (2) to be able to fix the panel to non-metallic or magnetic surfaces.

The device is not rigid, it is flexible and according to its way of folding

It has two versions: folding and rolling.

The roller is a rectangular plane (6), whose section increases at the top to house the magnets (1) and the inscription TOP (3), folded takes the form of a prism section close to the cylindrical.

5 The folding version is more rigid than the roller, presenting a bit thicker which reduces every certain distance, thus allowing its folding in the form of a zigzag or a screen, folding takes the form of a rectangular prism. In the lower part of the panel that corresponds to the opposite side 10 where the magnets or suction cups are located, a counterweight is embedded

(4) metallic and flexible in its longitudinal direction, in this way in the folding version, the magnets are close and with their magnetism prevent the panel from extending. However, this counterweight could be of another material or simply consist of an increase in the thickness of the panel material itself

15 (5) which could adopt an elliptical section or any other, but it would no longer function to keep the panel rolled up.

Claims (1)

1a._ Smoke-cut wall characterized by a mobile and preferably removable silicone panel. 5 2a._ Smoke cut wall, according to claim la, characterized in that the panel has a preferably rectangular shape but in any case specifically adapted to the different extractor hoods that exist in the market. 10 3a._ Smoke cut wall, according to claim la and 2a, characterized in that the panel has in its upper part two fastening forms: magnets and / or suction cups, to include the suction cup the panel has a perforation where the suction cups are coupled, preferably Silicone bumper. 4a._ Smoke cut wall, according to claim 2 and 3, characterized in that the device has in its lower part a counterweight that can be of the same material as the panel consisting of a greater thickness at the end of said panel or a formed counterweight by magnets embedded in the panel. 3rd 20 5a._ Smoke-cut wall, according to claim 2, and 4, characterized in that the panel can be foldable or roll-up, the folding version having slats that the rolling version does not have. one-------------------,  I 1 \ 2 \ 3 \ i -'e - '(:; \ @ [? l Ce, - <> - i I ~ -1 eleven eleven I 1 1 1 14 ===== ~~~~ ====== ~~~ I 14 ======= ~ == ~ ====== ~~~ 6, I ~ 1 r ----- I  1, -4 ======= ~ == ~ ====== ~~~ I ~ ====== ~ == ~ ====== ~~~ I 14 ===== ~~ == ~ ====== ~~~ I I I ~ ====== ~ == ~ ==== ~~~~ one \ I 1 I \ 1 L ___________________ ~, _ \ _ _____ __ _, Fig. 1 ~ I, \ ~ . one r,:.
