Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a protective device for containers, specifically for beverage cans.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a protective device which, adhered to the upper base of the can, provides sensibly better hygiene conditions, having a positive effect on the health of the user.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a single-piece protective device to simplify the manufacturing thereof, sensibly reducing the costs associated with the same and likewise simplifying the implantation process of the device on the mouth of the can.
  • Another object of the invention is for the device to provide an airtight and hygienic closing of the upper part of the can, which prevents dirt or any other kind of external liquid to remain between the lid and upper base of the can prior to the opening of the protective device, which, once opened, provides an airtight closing that prevents the outflow of the liquid contained in the can or the loss of gas.
  • Protective elements are currently known, which are intended to be mounted on containers, cans in particular, with the purpose of providing better hygienic conditions in the area where the opening to access the inner contents is provided.
  • PCT/ES 2010/070592 describes a protector for containers in accordance with the preamble of appended claim 1, comprising an upper protective element covering the upper part of the container and a lower ring located around the perimeter of the container, attached to the upper protective element by means of a hinge such that said upper protective element includes a tab protruding outwards and in the descending direction from the body of said upper protective element presenting an arching path matching the contour of the container.
  • the protective device for containers proposed by the invention solves the problems exposed above in a fully satisfactory manner in each and every one of the aspects commented on, based on an extremely effective new configuration.
  • the protective device of claim 1 is proposed. It has been provided that the device will materialize in a single-piece and tubular body that is closed from above and has a short, round base according to the mouth of the can adjusted to the upper part of the container or can, in which perimeter wall a likewise perimeter thickening is interiorly defined, parallel to which a likewise perimeter partition is established, that define a kind of channel for the coupling under pressure of the embossed edge of the can.
  • the outer wall has a perimeter cut that, for the most part, runs along the outer wall making a crenellated contour, i.e. an alternatively ascending and descending stepped contour, which extends along the entire length of said wall, except for a section wherein a link and small seals or attaching elements between both sectors that act as frangible elements upon the opening of the device are defined.
  • the perimeter and stepped cut determines two sectors related to each other through the aforementioned link and frangible attaching elements, which determine a kind of ring affixed to the mouth of the can and an upper lid, which although is initially attached to said ring it can be taken down through the aforementioned link.
  • the special ascending and descending stepped configuration of the cutting line separating the lid from the ring runs transversally across the perimeter flange of the device affixed to the embossed edge of the lid, which means than in some sectors, the lid is the one affixed to the mouth of the can, while in others it is the ring itself which carries out said function, thereby simplifying the closing means for the lid once open, given that it is once again directly coupled to the mouth of the can without having to establish any kind of means to affix said lid to the lower ring.
  • the device is supplied closed, its press fit mounting being extremely simple, such that in the affixing maneuvers, both the lid and the element having the functions of an affixing ring are affixed to the mouth or perimeter flange of the upper base of the can as commented above.
  • the special configuration of the device which lid incorporates, in correspondence with its lower base, a ridge in the form of a perimeter partition, makes the lid press against the edge of the can laterally, plugging the same and preventing the outflow of liquids, thereby providing a fully airtight closing.
  • the upper element of the device comprises an indented circumferential section that facilitates the stacking of cans one on top of the other taking advantage of the configuration of this type of containers in the base thereof.
  • the device can be obtained in any kind of injectable plastic.
  • it will be a moldable and biodegradable material, such as, for example, polypropylene.
  • the possibility that the materials are susceptible of being colored is also considered.
  • the protective device for containers being proposed is materialized in a tubular body closed from above (1), with a short, round base according to the mouth of the can (2) adjusted to the upper part of the container, in which perimeter wall (3) a likewise perimeter thickening (4) is interiorly defined, parallel to which a perimeter partition (5) is established, defining a kind of channel for the press fitting of the embossed edge of the can.
  • the outer and perimeter wall (3) has a longitudinal and perimeter cut (7) that for the most part runs along the same, having an alternatively ascending and descending stepped contour, i.e. crenellated, and which extends along the length of said wall, except for a section wherein a link (8) and small seals or attaching elements that can be torn (9), conveniently distributed along the perimeter cut (7), are defined, which will easily break when the device is used for the first time.
  • the crenellated perimeter cut (7) determines two sectors, related to each other through the aforementioned link (8) and attaching elements that can be torn (9), which determine an annular sector (10) affixed to the mouth of the can and a sector having the functions of an upper lid (11).
  • said sector is initially attached to said ring it can be taken down relative to the same, through the aforementioned link (8), for which it has been provided that said upper lid (11) will have a flap (12) for the pulling and opening thereof without having to use the nails, even though the entire set is integrated as a single-piece.
  • the link (8) defined in the single-piece body object of the invention is constituted from two stepped trapezoid and isosceles recesses (16) facing each other by their smaller bases and made on the perimeter wall of the device, conveniently distanced and related through a weakening line (17) from which both sectors are folded and which line extends from one smaller base to the other of the trapezoid sectors, having, in correspondence with said larger and smaller bases, respective vertical through-slots (18) determining two elastically deformable partitions (19) that collaborate with the weakening line (17) to constitute the opening means of the lid, all of which as shown in figure 11 .
  • the sector having the functions of an upper lid (11) has a series of reinforcement ribs (14) arranged radially on its lower face.
  • a circumferential recess has been provided on the upper face of said sector, which facilitates the stacking of containers provided with the protective device of the invention.
  • This same ridge seen from the interior, constitutes a section in the shape of a circular crown (13).
  • the sector defining the lid incorporates, in correspondence with its lower base, a ridge in the form of a perimeter partition (5), which makes the lid press against the edge of the can laterally, plugging the same and preventing the outflow of liquids, thereby providing a fully airtight closing with respect to the pressure of the gas of the liquid product inside of the can.
