NUEVA CUBITERA PARA REALIZAR CUBITOS NEW CUBITERA TO MAKE CUBES
DE HIELO DE DIFERENTES TAMAÑOS ICE OF DIFFERENT SIZES
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presenta Invención consiste en un nuevo dispositivo para la realización de cubitos de hielo, mediante el uso de unas bandejas rectangulares, que una vez situadas en el interior de una caja-deposito y después de ser llenada está ce cualquier liquido e introducida en el congelador, permita la obtención de hielo en cubitos de manera más rápida e higiénica que los sistemas convencionales usados. The present invention consists of a new device for the realization of ice cubes, through the use of rectangular trays, which once placed inside a box-tank and after being filled is any liquid and introduced into the freezer , allow obtaining ice cubes faster and more hygienically than conventional systems used.
Las bandejas introducidas dentro de la caja deposito, serán lisas por una de sus caras, disponiendo de protuberancias por la otra. De este modo se obtendrá hielo cuyas formas serán opcionales en virtud ce las bandejas usadas, ganándose en limpieza e higiene, al ir completamente carrada la caja deposito, asi como en rapidez, ya que con el sistema propuesto el tiempo de congelación se reduce a la mitad del que resulta necesario para las cubiteras ordinarias. The trays introduced into the deposit box, will be smooth on one side, having protuberances on the other. In this way ice will be obtained whose forms will be optional under the trays used, earning in cleaning and hygiene, when the deposit box is completely carded, as well as in speed, since with the proposed system the freezing time is reduced to the half of what is necessary for ordinary buckets.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Los sistemas de obtención de hielo conocidos hasta la fecha, carecen en su conjunto de las ventajas con que cuenta el presente sistema, toda vez que ninguno de ellos reúne las características de comodidad, higiene, diversidad rapidez con que cuenta el nuevo modelo. The ice-making systems known to date, as a whole lack the advantages of the present system, since none of them meets the characteristics of comfort, hygiene, diversity quickly with the new model.
Cabe destacar la imposibilidad ce incómodos derrames de líquidos durante la introducción de los bandejas en el congelador, así como las diversas formas y tamaño que podré darse el hielo mediante el uso de los distintas bandejas. It is worth noting the impossibility of uncomfortable spills of liquids during the introduction of the trays in the freezer, as well as the various shapes and sizes that the ice can be given by using the different trays.
Una de las desventaj as que presentan las tradicionales cub iteras consiste en la difícil limpresa de las cazoletas de restos de cal e impurezas que normalmente contiene el agua y esté desaparece con el nuevo dispositivo que se presenta ya que la superficie conde se depositan dichas partículas se corresponden con la cara lisa ce las bandejas, y al ser estás por sus dos lados superficies abiertas, permiten un fácil lavado. Otras de las desventajas más importantes de los sistemas tradicionales consiste en la impregnación del hielo con los olores y sabores de otros alimentos existentes en el refrigerador, por estar fabricados en recipientes abiertos o semiabiertos. Dicha circunstancia no se produce con el dispositivo que se presenta, al introducirse en el congelador la caja deposito herméticamente cerrada. One of the disadvantages of the traditional cub iteras is the difficult cleaning of the lime and impurity trays that normally contain the water and disappears with the new device that is presented since the surface where these particles are deposited is The trays correspond to the smooth side of the trays, and being open on both sides, they allow easy washing. Another of the most important disadvantages of traditional systems is the impregnation of ice with the smells and flavors of other foods in the refrigerator, because they are manufactured in open or semi-open containers. This circumstance does not occur with the device presented, when the hermetically sealed storage box is introduced into the freezer.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El objeto de la presente invención es una lamina, preferentemente rectangular, Fig. l, lisa por una de sus caras, "G", y repleta de protusiónes "F", formando dibujos simétricos por la otra "E", separados entre sí "C". Las protusiónes más próximas a los limites de la lamina, "D", sobre saldrán de la misma unos milímetros a pesar de romper la simetría de los dibujos, alargándolos o acortándolos, con el fin de mantener un espacio entre el extremo de la lamina o bandeja "E" y la pared de la caja-deposito. The object of the present invention is a sheet, preferably rectangular, Fig. 1, smooth on one of its faces, "G", and full of protrusions "F", forming symmetrical drawings on the other "E", separated from each other " C ". The protrusions closest to the limits of the sheet, "D", will leave millimeters of the same in spite of breaking the symmetry of the drawings, lengthening or shortening them, in order to maintain a space between the end of the sheet or tray "E" and the wall of the deposit box.
El dispositivo que se presenta consiste en la acumulación de una pila de bandejas o laminas superpuestas una encima de otra, Fig. 4, situando la cara lisa de cada una de ellas en contacto de la cara de protuberancias de la siguiente, le que formara una serie de espacios libres o túneles entre las mismas "C", dichas laminas serán introducidas en el interior de la caja-deposito, la cuál una vez llenada con el liquido que se deseé llenar será cerrada con una tapa hermética. The device presented consists of the accumulation of a stack of trays or sheets superimposed on top of each other, Fig. 4, placing the smooth face of each of them in contact with the protuberance face of the next one, which will form a series of free spaces or tunnels between the same "C", said sheets will be introduced inside the deposit box, which once filled with the liquid to be filled will be closed with an airtight lid.
Tras la anterior operación, el liquido ocupará los túneles formados entre las distintas laminas superpuestas. Una vez congelado, las laminas contendrán entre sus protuberancias el hielo fácilmente desprendible con una ligera rotación de la caja-deposito antes de ser abierta . After the previous operation, the liquid will occupy the tunnels formed between the different overlapping sheets. Once frozen, the sheets will contain the easily removable ice between their protuberances with a slight rotation of the deposit box before being opened.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE UNA FORMA DE REALI ZACIÓN PREFERIDA DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED FORM OF REALIZATION
Vistas las Figuras presentadas pasamos a detallar las Figuras formantes de las protuberancias contenidas en una de las caras de la lamina o bandeja cuya planta se representa en la Figura 1 . Given the figures presented, we will detail the figures forming the protuberances contained in one of the faces of the sheet or tray whose plant is represented in Figure 1.
Las protusiónes "F" , que figuran en una de las caras de las laminas , se asemej an a estrellas de cuatro puntas con sus extremos cortados en cantos romos , cuyos brazos superior e inferior son más largos que los laterales siendo todas las estrellas simétricas con la unión interior de sus puntas circular o redondeado y se encuentra separadas entre si . The protrusions "F", which appear on one of the faces of the sheets, resemble four-pointed stars with their ends cut into blunt edges, whose upper and lower arms are longer than the lateral ones being all the stars symmetrical with the inner union of its circular or rounded tips and is separated from each other.
Por ser unas bandej as destinadas a uso alimenticio deben fabricarse en cualquier material dedicado a éstos usos . As they are trays intended for food use, they must be manufactured in any material dedicated to these uses.
Una vez descritas convenientemente la naturaleza del modelo se hace constar a los efectos oportunos que el mismo no queda limitado a los detalles exactos de está exposición , sino por el contrario , en él sé introducirán las modificaciones que se consideren oportunas . Once the nature of the model has been adequately described, it is stated for the appropriate purposes that it is not limited to the exact details of this exposure, but on the contrary, it will introduce the modifications deemed appropriate.
