DESCRIPCIÓNDESCRIPTION
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a una tapa para latas de bebida, de las que se presentan cerradas mediante una lengüeta de cierre cuyo desprecintado y apertura se realiza mediante una anilla fijada a la propia lata de bebida por medio de un remache.The present invention relates to a lid for beverage cans, of which they are presented closed by means of a closure tab whose unsealing and opening is carried out by means of a ring fixed to the beverage can itself by means of a rivet.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Las latas de bebida una vez abiertas presentan el problema de que los medios de cierre de que disponen no son reutilizables, es decir, no permiten que la lata se vuelva a cerrar con ellos. Esta circunstancia representa un problema si una vez abierta la lata no se consume todo su contenido y se desea guardarlo para una consumición posterior o si desea transportar ya que ello conlleva un riesgo de vertido del contenido.Beverage cans once opened present the problem that the closure means available to them are not reusable, that is, they do not allow the can to be closed again with them. This circumstance represents a problem if, once the can is opened, all its contents are not consumed and it is desired to save it for later consumption or if it wishes to transport as this entails a risk of spilling the content.
Actualmente existen varios tipos de tapas para latas de refrescos, estando dichas tapas diseñadas para aquellas latas de refresco en las que una vez abiertas se separa totalmente del cuerpo de la lata el conjunto formado por la lengüeta y la anilla de apertura. Es decir, que éstos dos últimos elementos dejan de estar presentes en la boca de la lata, por lo que las tapas pueden posicionarse sobre la boca definida al separar totalmente la lengüeta.There are currently several types of lids for soda cans, said lids being designed for those soda cans in which once opened, the assembly formed by the tongue and the opening ring is completely separated from the can body. That is, these last two elements are no longer present in the mouth of the can, so that the lids can be positioned on the defined mouth by completely separating the tongue.
Como antecedentes de este tipo de tapas, se puede mencionar la solicitud española del modelo de utilidad 271.032 relativa a un dispositivo obturador para latas de refrescos que permite su encaje en bocas que
tengan libre todo su perímetro. También se halla en una situación análoga la solicitud del modelo de utilidad 9100712 relativa a un tapón auxiliar para bebidas enlatadas.As background of this type of tapas, we can mention the Spanish application of utility model 271.032 regarding a shutter device for soda cans that allows it to fit into mouths that Have your entire perimeter free. The application of utility model 9100712 concerning an auxiliary stopper for canned drinks is also similar.
En las latas de bebida utilizadas actualmente, tanto la lengüeta como la anilla de apertura permanecen unidas a la lata una vez abierta ésta, por lo que los antecedentes mencionados no son acoplables a las latas utilizadas actualmente y en las que la lengüeta queda fijada por una porción periférica de material al contorno de la boca de la lata.In the beverage cans currently used, both the tongue and the opening ring remain attached to the can once it is opened, so that the aforementioned background is not attachable to the cans currently used and in which the tongue is fixed by a peripheral portion of material around the mouth of the can.
Hay que mencionar también el documento WO-94/24006 que describe una tapa rasgable para la apertura de latas metálicas y reutilizable para el cierre de las mismas, la cual no consta de un elemento añadido para el tapado de la boca de la lata, sino que trata más bien de un rediseño de la lengüeta de cierre que tienen actualmente las latas, lo que representa un problema diferente al de efectuar simplemente el cierre de las latas actualmente existentes en el mercado.Mention should also be made of document WO-94/24006 describing a tear-off lid for opening metal cans and reusable for closing them, which does not consist of an added element for the lid of the can mouth, but rather, it is a redesign of the closing tongue that the cans currently have, which represents a different problem than simply closing the cans currently existing in the market.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Para solventar los problemas mencionados se ha ideado la tapa para latas de bebida objeto de la invención, que aporta unas particularidades constructivas orientadas a facilitar y asegurar un correcto cierre de las bocas de las latas aunque mantengan tras su apertura la lengüeta con la anilla.To solve the aforementioned problems, the lid for beverage cans object of the invention has been devised, which provides constructive peculiarities oriented to facilitate and ensure a correct closure of the mouths of the cans although they keep the tongue with the ring after opening.
De acuerdo con la invención, la tapa está compuesta por un cuerpo monopieza de materia plástica que presenta una base de configuración general prismática destinada a acoplarse y desacoplarse en la boca de la lata una vez abierta.According to the invention, the lid is composed of a single-piece body of plastic material that has a base of general prismatic configuration intended to be coupled and disengaged in the mouth of the can once opened.
Dicho cuerpo monopieza presenta en su superficie superior una
prominencia para su acoplamiento a presión en el orificio interior de la anilla de apertura de la lengüeta de cierre de la boca de la lata de bebida. La tapa, una vez acoplada en su emplazamiento de la anilla de apertura, permanece en él tanto en posición de uso como en posición inoperante.Said single piece body has on its upper surface a prominence for snap coupling into the inner hole of the opening ring of the closing tab of the mouth of the beverage can. The lid, once coupled in its location of the opening ring, remains therein both in the use position and in the inoperative position.
La base de la tapa presenta periféricamente: una porción inferior destinada a alojarse en la boca de la lata tras introducirse a presión por ella, una ranura intermedia para el alojamiento del contorno de la boca de la lata en la posición de uso de la tapa, y una porción superior de mayor amplitud que define una superficie anular destinada a contactar exteriormente contra la superficie periférica de la boca de la lata asegurando su cierre.The base of the lid has peripherally: a lower portion intended to be housed in the mouth of the can after being pressed under it, an intermediate groove for housing the contour of the mouth of the can in the position of use of the lid, and an upper portion of greater amplitude that defines an annular surface intended to contact externally against the peripheral surface of the mouth of the can ensuring its closure.
La porción inferior de la base de la tapa presenta una superficie lateral convergente hacia la zona inferior para facilitar su introducción en la boca de la lata de bebida.The lower portion of the base of the lid has a convergent lateral surface towards the lower area to facilitate its introduction into the mouth of the beverage can.
Además, la porción inferior de la base de la tapa presenta también una porción adentrada en correspondencia con la zona de la lata de bebida en la que permanece la unión con la lengüeta de cierre una vez se ha efectuado la apertura de la misma.In addition, the lower portion of the lid base also has a portion in correspondence with the area of the beverage can in which the joint with the closure tab remains once the opening thereof has been made.
La porción superior de la base de la tapa presenta una aleta horizontal sobresaliente en correspondencia con la zona de la lata de bebida en la que permanece la unión con la lengüeta de cierre una vez se ha efectuado la apertura de la misma. En otras palabras, en correspondencia con la porción adentrada de la porción inferior de la base de la tapa.The upper portion of the base of the lid has an outstanding horizontal fin in correspondence with the area of the beverage can in which the joint with the closure tab remains once the opening thereof has been made. In other words, in correspondence with the inward portion of the lower portion of the base of the lid.
La anteriormente mencionada prominencia superior de la tapa comprende un tramo inicial recto, de sección análoga al orificio interior de la anilla de apertura de la lengüeta, y un regruesamiento extremo que presenta una sección decreciente hacia su extremo libre para facilitar su introducción a través del mencionado orificio interior de la anilla.
Después de haber efectuado la apertura de una lata de bebida, el tapado de la misma se efectúa acoplando a presión la prominencia superior de la tapa en el orificio interior de la anilla de apertura, que está fijada a la lengüeta por medio de un remache. Tras este acoplamiento, se efectúa un giro, alrededor del mencionado remache, de la anilla con la tapa incorporada a fin de enfrentar la tapa con la boca de la lata, momento en el cual, la aplicación de una presión sobre la tapa produce la introducción de la porción inferior de su base en dicha boca y en consecuencia el tapado perseguido.The aforementioned upper prominence of the cover comprises a straight initial section, of analogous section to the inner hole of the tongue opening ring, and an extreme thickening that has a decreasing section towards its free end to facilitate its introduction through the mentioned inner hole of the ring. After the opening of a can of beverage, the capping thereof is carried out by pressing the upper prominence of the lid into the inner hole of the opening ring, which is fixed to the tongue by means of a rivet. After this coupling, a rotation is made, around said rivet, of the ring with the lid incorporated in order to face the lid with the mouth of the can, at which time, the application of a pressure on the lid causes the introduction of the lower portion of its base in said mouth and consequently the capped pursued.
