DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(6) The compact spiky protector comprising multiple three-pronged elements, is an object-system that satisfactorily solves the aforementioned problems, preferably constructed by forming the union of the spiky object, which in turn make various kinds of tridents, though may also form any other geometrical and dimensional structure with spikes or thorns, and that the spikes may be of any thickness, length and geometric shape also may be of any material such as plastic, metal, glass, carbon fiber, wood, combining them or any other. Also various types of tridents, or any other geometric configuration that conform dimensional spikes, may be of any material such as plastic, metal, glass, carbon fiber, wood, combinations thereof, or any other. The union of the spikes that make up the various types of tridents or other geometric figures that configure the spikes may be made by any means, such as heat, laser welding, electric welding, fastening wires, adhesives and resins, or any other means that would connect them. They may also be manufactured in a single body (all elements simultaneously) by injection molding, extrusion of any materials, casting, even by 3D printers. They can also be manufactured in successive steps starting from preforms of any type of materials and their combinations that serve as raw materials, through twists, cuts, pressures and bends conforming the spikes, various kinds of tridents or other geometric shapes that form the spikes and the union of the above structures to finally form the compact spiky protector comprising multiple three-pronged elements. The invention may eventually form any geometric structure and any height and width, plus its malleability may be rigid, soft or semi-rigid, depending on what you want to achieve in each case, which can allow for easy shaping. The spikes are preferably projected to the outside of the area to be protected, but also may be facing the interior of the area.

(7) Although preferentially horizontal, the spikes may be arranged in any directional vector from the horizontal line of the compact spiky protector comprising multiple three-pronged elements. Spikes and various kinds of tridents or other geometric forms of grouping of spikes may be made with the twists and molds, at any point in its structure, which seek greater strength and robustness in the spikes. The various kinds of tridents or other geometric shapes that form the final structure of the invention allow scratching and grooming animal hair without deforming the object. The spikes may be spaced from each other at any distance, so various kinds of tridents or geometric structures forming the group of spikes may be of any size, height and width.

(8) The invention may be helped by any type of small anchors if placed on the ground or soil, which may be of any material, length and geometry, even for raising the height when necessary, the invention can also be attached to these anchors or staples by any means, such as welding, electric welding, wired, stuck with any kind of glues and resins, laser or other, even by the spikes born in the invention itself.

(9) The preferred model of the invention, as will be described later, is formed by successive union of spikes that make various kinds of peculiar L-shaped trident prongs, one of these types of tridents consists of a wire 10 cm long and 2.8 mm thick and composed of a combination of metal and plastic, which is modeled forming C-shape, where the final two spikes are 2.5 cm, the torsion zone form two angles of 90. Subsequently another wire of same characteristics as the previous, but 7.5 cm long is modeled, and L-shaped, also with a 90 twist to conform a 2.5 cm spike at the end. This spike forms part of the initial L-shaped prong and at the same time forms part of the next trident. Subsequently both spikes are joined with a configuration of the vertical C-shaped spike, and the spike in fallen L-shaped and connected at the top to the bottom of the C-shaped spike part. The three spiked ends are facing the same direction. This trident of varying characteristics attached to each other, by any means, also form part of other types of tridents, and ultimately, comprise the invention. This will form various tridents at the same time and can be understood as multi-dimensional, and creating an extraordinary structure, which when curved into a cylindrical shape is more rigid and compact. Assembling spikes on top of others in the preferred model yields a more sturdy structure and can resist an accidental blow and/or vigorous scratching from animals.

(10) A protector device 400 is shown disposed on a surface 405 of the ground. A plurality of anchors 402 are attached to the protector device and extend to the surface 405. Anchors 402 are attached to the protector device 400 by wires 430.

(11) A first protector device 510 and a second protector device 520 are shown joined in a modular manner. A plurality of rods 555 are also used to add stability to the structure. A tie wire 563 is used to connect the two protector devices. The spikes with a 90 elbow fold that form the final spike is much more resistant to accidental pushing and scratching from animals for grooming/deworming and can ensnare better, with no easy exit, a poachers netting. The invention can also be manufactured in one body by casting or injection of various types of molds materials or a combination, or a stamped preform and timely models. To fixate to the floor, nail one or more 70 cm iron rods, preferably three, grounding them about 50 cm, and fixate the invention with staples or tie wire. You can arrive at the same result, as indicated with a prefabrication of the final object structure where the rods are already connected by any means. The various types of tridents can also be formed simultaneously by cutting and folding the final spikes into position, later to bend it and shape it in its preferred cylindrical model as mentioned.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(12) To complement the description being made and aid in the understanding of the invention's characteristics, according to an example of practical embodiment thereof, attached as an integral part of said description, three sheets of drawings that are illustrative in nature and not limitative. A figure on each sheet is shown schematically and in perspective, and some partly or totally colored for better interpretation made in accordance with the object of the invention.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

(13) In view of the aforementioned figures it can be seen how the invention is preferably comprised of a wire (1) 10 centimeters long and 2.8 millimeters thick, sharp at their ends and a combination of plastic and metal, but may be of any length, thickness and material. Subsequently bend the wire 90 (1) at their ends resulting in elbows (2) and a final spike (3) 2.5 cm in length at each end. Said preform binds to another wire (4) 7.5 centimeters long and 2.8 millimeters thick and pointy at one end which is folded at 90 forming an elbow (2) to form a final spike (3) 2.5 centimeters long. This is a combination of plastic and metal, but may also be any length, thickness and material. This assembly described forms a variety of unique L-shaped prong figures (5), which together with other unique tridents (5), both to the right and left, above or below, by a final spike (3) that share these various types peculiar tridents (5), form the dimensional structure of the subject of this invention. The binding of the various types of unique tridents (5) is performed such that each end spike (3) is 5 cm from the following final spike (3), but may be any desired distance and forming a sort of L-shaped structure placed in any position, both right, left, and inverted rightward and leftward. The invention, which in this preferred case, can be bent cylindrically shaped having a diameter of 38 centimeters and a height of 100 centimeters from the ground is thus configured. Finally, for the case of protecting land animals, plants or objects, it is fixated to the ground by three supports (6) consisting of metal bars of 5 mm thick and 70 centimeters long, which are nailed to the floor about 50 cm, but may be any size, thickness and material and tied with tie wire to the structure of the invention, although it may be attached by any means.
