Description
Cubierta para envase.Cover for container.
La presente invención se refiere al sector técnico de los envases contenedores que comprenden un cuerpo cilíndrico dotado de una base, y, en el extremo opuesto del cuerpo cilíndrico, una tapa con medios de apertura para acceder al contenido de dicho envase contenedor y para el vertido del producto contenido. Más específicamente, la invención se refiere a los envases contenedores conocidos comúnmente como "latas" o "botes" y a una mejora para preservar las condiciones higiénicas de dichos envases.The present invention relates to the sector container container technician comprising a body cylindrical provided with a base, and, at the opposite end of the body cylindrical, a lid with opening means to access the content of said container container and for the pouring of the product content. More specifically, the invention relates to container containers commonly known as "cans" or "boats" and an improvement to preserve conditions hygienic of said containers.
Es conocida en el sector técnico de los envases la utilización de recipientes metálicos especialmente para la distribución de bebidas (conocidas habitualmente como "latas"). Este tipo de envases está ampliamente extendido y es utilizado con resultados satisfactorios en todo el mundo.It is known in the technical sector of packaging the use of metal containers especially for beverage distribution (commonly known as "cans"). This type of packaging is widely spread and is Used with satisfactory results worldwide.
Aunque estos envases consiguen proteger el contenido con respecto a la contaminación exterior, la propia superficie externa del envase está en contacto con diferentes máquinas, operarios, y ambientes exteriores desde su envasado hasta el consumo por parte del cliente final. Es habitual que las bebidas contenidas en estos envases se consuman directamente del propio recipiente sin utilizar vasos u otros medios accesorios con lo cual la boca del consumidor y la propia bebida entran en contacto con diferentes partes de la superficie del envase antes de que dicha bebida sea ingerida por el usuario. Incluso en el caso de que se utilicen vasos o copas para beber su contenido, el vertido del líquido hace que este deba entrar en contacto obligatoriamente con las zonas del envase que rodean la embocadura del mismo.Although these packages manage to protect the content with respect to external pollution, the own outer surface of the container is in contact with different machines, operators, and outdoor environments from packaging to consumption by the end customer. It is usual for drinks contained in these packages are consumed directly from the own container without using glasses or other accessory means with which the consumer's mouth and the drink itself come into contact with different parts of the surface of the container before said Drink is ingested by the user. Even in the case that it use glasses or cups to drink its contents, the discharge of liquid means that it must come into contact with the areas of the container that surround the mouth of it.
Desde el momento que se produce el llenado del líquido en la planta embotelladora, con el consecuente cerrado del envase, este pasa por diferentes etapas de almacenamiento, transporte, distribución, exposición y venta hasta llegar a las manos del consumidor final. Aunque las empresas y operarios encargados de realizar estas operaciones intenten mantener unas condiciones higiénicas adecuadas, en dichos envases se acumula suciedad y gérmenes, principalmente durante las fases de almacenamiento y trasporte en condiciones de salubridad no controladas, lo cual, por un lado, afecta negativamente al aspecto externo del envase y, por otro lado, y lo que es más importante, puede ser la causa de transmisión de enfermedades.From the moment the filling of the liquid in the bottling plant, with the consequent closed of the container, this goes through different stages of storage, transport, distribution, exhibition and sale until reaching the Hands of the final consumer. Although companies and operators responsible for performing these operations try to maintain some adequate hygienic conditions, in such containers accumulates dirt and germs, mainly during the phases of storage and transportation under health conditions no controlled, which, on the one hand, negatively affects the appearance outer packaging and, on the other hand, and more importantly, It can be the cause of disease transmission.
Para impedir esta acumulación de sustancias extrañas especialmente en la superficie superior del envase, se conocen en la actualidad fundas plásticas que cubren un conjunto de latas o envases y que al mismo tiempo sirven para mantener dicho conjunto de envases unidos y, por lo tanto, para facilitar su almacenamiento y transporte. No obstante, esta solución no es totalmente satisfactoria ya que deja resquicios entre dicha funda y los bordes de los envases de manera que no representa una barrera eficaz para la entrada de gérmenes. Por otro lado, no sirve para la protección higiénica de envases individuales o de grupos de latas no normalizados para esta funda de modo que constituye solamente una solución parcial tanto en relación con la diversidad de las presentaciones del producto en las que se puede aplicar como con la eficacia de la protección.To prevent this accumulation of substances strange especially on the top surface of the container, it They know today plastic covers that cover a set of cans or containers and at the same time serve to keep said set of united packages and, therefore, to facilitate their storage and transport However, this solution is not totally satisfactory since it leaves gaps between said cover and the edges of the containers so that it does not represent a barrier effective for the entry of germs. On the other hand, it does not work for hygienic protection of individual packages or groups of cans not standardized for this case so that it constitutes only one partial solution both in relation to the diversity of product presentations in which it can be applied as with the effectiveness of protection.
La presente invención pretende mejorar estos sistemas conocidos de protección higiénica al proporcionar una funda protectora aplicable a cada envase individual y que cubre eficazmente la parte superior del mismo de manera que es posible evitar la acumulación de suciedad y/o gérmenes desde la aplicación de dicha funda protectora hasta el momento del consumo de la bebida.The present invention aims to improve these known hygienic protection systems by providing a cover protective cover applicable to each individual container and covering effectively the top of it so that it is possible avoid the accumulation of dirt and / or germs from the application of said protective cover until the moment of consumption of the drink.

la Fig. 5 es una vista en perspectiva desde arriba del envase de la presente invención con la funda y la tapadera superior abiertas.Fig. 5 is a perspective view from above the package of the present invention with the cover and the upper cover open.
En dichos dibujos pueden apreciarse diversas formas de realización de la presente invención.Various drawings can be seen in these drawings. embodiments of the present invention.
En la descripción de dichos dibujos, como recipiente ilustrativo, se utiliza un envase de los conocidos comúnmente como latas, específicamente las utilizadas en el envasado de bebidas, y dicho tipo de envase constituye la forma de realización preferida de la invención, aunque podría utilizarse cualquier otro tipo de recipiente de envasado que admita la colocación de una funda 7 y una tapadera superior 6 según se define en las reivindicaciones adjuntas.In the description of these drawings, as Illustrative container, a known container is used commonly as cans, specifically those used in the beverage packaging, and such type of packaging constitutes the form of preferred embodiment of the invention, although it could be used any other type of packaging container that supports the placement of a cover 7 and a top cover 6 as defined in the appended claims.
Concretamente, la Fig. 1 muestra una vista lateral en alzado de uno de estos recipientes (lata) con la tapadera superior 6 colocada sobre la cápsula 4 de dicha lata y la funda 7 a punto de ser ajustada rodeando el cuerpo cilíndrico 2 del envase 1 y parte de la cápsula 4 y la base 3. El material de la funda 7 puede ser, por ejemplo, cualquier plástico termorretráctil el cual al pasar por la estación de envasado correspondiente, y aplicarle el calor necesario, se ajuste sustancialmente al contorno de la lata comprimiendo y reteniendo la tapadera superior 6 contra la cápsula 4 de dicha lata. Esta etapa de colocación de la tapadera superior 6 y la funda 7 se puede realizar en la planta de envasado inmediatamente después de cerrar herméticamente la lata con lo cual la cápsula 4 de la misma apenas queda expuesta al ataque de agentes externos nocivos para la salud. De esta manera, dicha tapadera superior 6 protege la tapa 4 de la lata hasta el momento de su consumo tal como se aprecia en la Fig. 2b. Por otro lado, el material de la tapadera superior 6 puede ser cualquiera que tenga la resistencia mecánica suficiente para resistir los impactos que pueda sufrir el envase 1 durante su transporte y almacenamiento y que, al mismo tiempo, cumpla unos requisitos sanitarios mínimos ya que va a estar en contacto con la cápsula 4 de la lata. Entre los materiales utilizados en las formas de realización preferidas de la invención se pueden mencionar diferentes tipos de cartón y plástico.Specifically, Fig. 1 shows a view side elevation of one of these containers (can) with the upper lid 6 placed on the capsule 4 of said can and the cover 7 about to be adjusted around the cylindrical body 2 of the container 1 and part of capsule 4 and base 3. The material of the sheath 7 can be, for example, any heat shrinkable plastic which when going through the corresponding packing station, and apply the necessary heat, substantially conform to the contour of the can compressing and retaining the top cover 6 against capsule 4 of said can. This stage of cover placement upper 6 and cover 7 can be made in the packaging plant immediately after tightly closing the can with which the capsule 4 thereof is barely exposed to the attack of agents External harmful to health. In this way, said cover upper 6 protects the lid 4 of the can until the moment of its consumption as seen in Fig. 2b. On the other hand, the upper cover material 6 can be any that has sufficient mechanical strength to resist the impacts that container 1 may suffer during transport and storage and that, at the same time, meets minimum sanitary requirements and that will be in contact with the capsule 4 of the can. Between the materials used in the preferred embodiments of the invention different types of cardboard can be mentioned and plastic.
Además, la propia funda 7 puede utilizarse como escaparate para los logotipos de la bebida o el producto que se vende, y la impresión de los dibujos o indicaciones sobre la misma se puede realizar, por medios conocidos, antes o después de la colocación final de dicha funda 7.In addition, the sheath 7 itself can be used as showcase for the logos of the drink or the product that is sells, and printing of the drawings or indications on it it can be done, by known means, before or after the final placement of said cover 7.
En la Fig. 2a se muestra el envase 1 de la presente invención una vez fijada la funda 7. Tal como puede apreciarse en dicha figura, la funda 7 se adapta totalmente al contorno de la lata con lo cual mantiene el aspecto externo de la misma y además, dicho ajuste al contorno de la lata, actúa de manera que oprime y retiene la tapadera superior 6 contra la cápsula 4. Evidentemente, la forma preferida de la tapadera superior 6 es tal que se adapta a la forma de la tapa o cápsula 4 de modo que cubre sustancialmente toda la superficie de la misma. Esta situación ayuda a mejorar las condiciones de protección higiénica.In Fig. 2a the container 1 of the present invention once the cover 7 is fixed. As can seen in said figure, the cover 7 is fully adapted to the contour of the can thereby maintaining the external appearance of the same and also, said adjustment to the contour of the can, acts as so that it presses and retains the top cover 6 against the capsule 4. Obviously, the preferred form of the lid upper 6 is such that it adapts to the shape of the cap or capsule 4 of so that it substantially covers the entire surface thereof. This situation helps improve protection conditions hygienic
También a partir de dicha Fig. 2a se puede apreciar que la protección proporcionada tanto por la tapadera superior 6 como por la funda 7 son individuales para cada lata de manera que, incluso en el caso de que el consumidor compre una sola lata, lo cual se produce con bastante frecuencia, la protección higiénica de dicha lata queda garantizada hasta que el usuario decide abrirla. Este no es el caso de los sistemas utilizados hasta el momento en los que la protección se aplica a un grupo normalizado de latas con lo cual la venta de una lata individual queda fuera del ámbito de protección de dichos sistemas conocidos.Also from said Fig. 2a it is possible to appreciate that the protection provided by both the cover top 6 as per case 7 are individual for each can of so that even if the consumer buys only one can, which occurs quite frequently, protection hygienic of said can is guaranteed until the user He decides to open it. This is not the case with the systems used until the moment when protection is applied to a group standardized cans with which the sale of an individual can is outside the scope of protection of such systems known.
En la Fig. 2b se muestra exactamente la misma forma de realización que en la Fig. 2a pero con la tapadera superior 6 y la zona correspondiente de la funda 7 levantadas. Además, tal como puede apreciarse en ambas figuras, la funda 7 está dotada de unos precortes o marcas 8 que facilitan la extracción de esta zona de la funda 7 y de la tapadera superior 6 por parte del usuario. Este simplemente tiene que tirar de la zona superior de la funda 7 para dejar al descubierto la cápsula 4; al tirar de dicha zona superior de la funda 7, esta puede arrastrar consigo a la tapadera superior 6 (por medio de algún adhesivo u otro elemento de unión similar) o la tapadera superior 6 simplemente puede quedar suelta sobre la cápsula 4 y puede ser retirada fácilmente por el consumidor.The same is shown in Fig. 2b embodiment as in Fig. 2a but with the cover upper 6 and the corresponding area of the cover 7 raised. In addition, as can be seen in both figures, the cover 7 is equipped with precuts or marks 8 that facilitate the extraction of this area of the cover 7 and the top cover 6 by the Username. This simply has to pull the upper area of the cover 7 to expose the capsule 4; by pulling bliss upper area of the cover 7, this can drag with it to the upper cover 6 (by means of some adhesive or other element of similar connection) or the top cover 6 can simply be loose on the capsule 4 and can be easily removed by the consumer.
En otra forma de realización preferida, no mostrada en las figuras aunque definida en las reivindicaciones, la zona superior de la funda 7 está provista de una lengüeta de tal manera que el usuario puede tirar más fácilmente de dicha funda 7 y desgarrar la misma para destapar la cápsula 4.In another preferred embodiment, no shown in the figures although defined in the claims, the upper area of the cover 7 is provided with such a tongue so that the user can more easily pull said cover 7 and tear it to uncover the capsule 4.
Las Figs. 3a y 3b muestran otra forma de realización de la invención en la que en la tapadera superior 6 se han realizado una ranura o ranuras 9 con el fin de facilitar el apilamiento de varios envases 1 (Fig. 3b). Tal como puede apreciarse en ambas figuras, el perfil de estas ranuras 9 es tal que permite el acoplamiento del contorno saliente de la base 3 en el rebaje de la ranura o ranuras 9. Esta característica proporciona más estabilidad a los envases 1 cuando están almacenados o expuestos para su venta. Por otra parte, el modo de apertura de la funda 7 y de extracción de la tapadera superior 6 es el mismo que el descrito para las Figs. 2a y 2b. En este caso, simplemente se ha de tener en cuenta que el material de la tapadera superior 6 debe ser suficientemente resistente para aguantar el peso de varios envases 1 sin deformarse permanentemente.Figs. 3a and 3b show another form of embodiment of the invention in which in the upper cover 6 is have made a groove or grooves 9 in order to facilitate the stacking of several packages 1 (Fig. 3b). As can be seen in both figures, the profile of these slots 9 is such that it allows the coupling of the projecting contour of the base 3 in the recess of the slot or slots 9. This feature provides more stability to containers 1 when stored or exposed for sale On the other hand, the opening mode of the cover 7 and removal of the top cover 6 is the same as described for Figs. 2a and 2b. In this case, it simply has to be taken into note that the top cover material 6 must be strong enough to support the weight of several containers 1 without permanently deforming.
Otra forma de realización preferida es la mostrada en la Fig. 4 en la que, entre la funda 7 y el cuerpo cilíndrico 2 del envase contenedor 1, se ha proporcionado un material absorbente 10, preferentemente papel. El objeto de este material absorbente 10 es preservar o proporcionar una temperatura adecuada para el consumo del contenido de la lata especialmente en situaciones en las que no se dispone de medios de refrigeración artificiales, por ejemplo, una nevera.Another preferred embodiment is the shown in Fig. 4 in which, between the cover 7 and the body cylindrical 2 of container container 1, a absorbent material 10, preferably paper. The object of this absorbent material 10 is to preserve or provide a temperature suitable for the consumption of can contents especially in situations where cooling means are not available artificial, for example, a refrigerator.
El envase 1 de la Fig. 4 se puede introducir, por ejemplo, en un estanque, un lago o en el mismo agua de la playa de manera que el material 10 absorba el líquido en el que se sumerge a través de unas microperforaciones (no mostradas en la figura) realizadas en la funda 7. Una vez que dicho envase 1 se extrae del líquido en el que estaba sumergido, este comienza a evaporarse lentamente (flechas de la Fig. 4), también a través de las microperforaciones, provocando una disminución de la temperatura del contenido de la lata debido al consumo de calorías para dicha operación, con lo cual la bebida del envase contenedor 1 adquiere una temperatura más adecuada para su consumo especialmente en las estaciones calurosas.The container 1 of Fig. 4 can be introduced, for example, in a pond, a lake or in the same beach water so that the material 10 absorbs the liquid in which it is submerged through microperforations (not shown in the figure) made in the cover 7. Once said container 1 is removed from the liquid in which it was submerged, it begins to evaporate slowly (arrows in Fig. 4), also through the microperforations, causing a decrease in temperature of the can content due to calorie consumption for said operation, whereby the beverage of container container 1 acquires a temperature more suitable for consumption especially in hot seasons
El papel constitutivo del material absorbente es preferiblemente un papel crepado a base de fibras celulosas recicladas, que tenga un gramaje por encima de los 80 gramos/m^{2}.The constituent role of the absorbent material is preferably a crepe paper based on cellulosic fibers recycled, having a weight above 80 grams / m2.
