ENVASE PARA BEBIDAS PACK FOR DRINKS
D E S C R I P C I Ó ND E S C R I P C I Ó N
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a un envase para bebidas, tales como agua mineral, refrescos y otras, que con un aspecto semejante al de un bote clásico, presenta unas características estructurales específicas, especialmente en lo que a su sistema de cierre se refiere, que asegura una óptima funcionalidad y eficacia.The present invention relates to a beverage container, such as mineral water, soft drinks and others, which with an appearance similar to that of a classic boat, has specific structural characteristics, especially as regards its closure system, which ensures optimal functionality and efficiency.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Generalmente las bebidas del tipo anteriormente citado se comercializan en envases tipo botella, que en unas ocasiones son de plástico y en otras de vidrio, con diferentes tipos de cierre que van desde el tapón corona al tapón de rosca, pasando por cierres de simple presión.Generally the drinks of the type mentioned above are sold in bottle-type containers, which are sometimes made of plastic and in others of glass, with different types of closure ranging from the crown cap to the screw cap, through simple pressure closures.
Otro tipo de envase frecuentemente utilizado es el clásico bote, generalmente estructurado a base de aluminio, provisto en su base superior de una zona debilitada y frangible por diferentes métodos, destinada a constituir una boca de vaciado para consumo de su contenido. Esta solución presenta una problemática con una doble vertiente, por un lado limita la estructuración de los botes a la naturaleza metálica para la materia prima constitutiva de los mismos, y por otro lado la apertura del bote resulta definitiva, es decir que si no se consume de una sola vez el contenido del mismo, como es habitual, resulta imposible recuperar la situación de cierre. Además durante el almacenaje y comercialización del producto se produce el ensuciamiento y la deposición de polvo sobre la zona de su embocadura de consumo, lo que hace que las condiciones higiénicas de este tipo de envase no sean ni mucho menos las óptimas.Another type of container frequently used is the classic canister, usually structured on the basis of aluminum, provided on its upper base with a weakened area and frangible by different methods, intended to constitute a drain for consumption of its contents. This solution presents a problem with a double slope, on the one hand it limits the structuring of the boats to the metallic nature for the constituent raw material of the same, and on the other hand the opening of the boat is definitive, that is to say if it is not consumed at once the content of it, as usual, it is impossible to recover the closing situation. In addition, during the storage and commercialization of the product there is fouling and deposition of dust on the area of its mouth of consumption, which makes the hygienic conditions of this type of packaging are not even the best.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El envase que la invención propone, adoptan una configuración relativamente similar a la de un bote clásico, como anteriormente se ha dicho, está obtenido a partir de un cuerpo base, preferentemente de naturaleza plástica, aunque puede ser realizado de cualquier otro material apropiado, tal y como los envases metálicos clásicos de bebidas, en cuya base superior y afectando mayoritariamente a la misma, se define un cuello abierto y sensiblemente estrangulado, dotado cerca de su borde libre de un reborde perimetral para su acoplamiento machi-hembrado a la ranura asimismo perimetral de una tapa, efecto de machi-hembrado que se consigue con la colaboración de una estrangulación existente en una de las paredes laterales de la citada ranura y que debe ser sobrepasada por el reborde del anillo del cuerpo, mediante deformación elástica de estos elementos. Este acoplamiento puede realizarse igualmente, por medio de roscado o sistema de unión equivalente.The package proposed by the invention adopts a configuration relatively similar to that of a classic boat, as mentioned above, is obtained from a base body, preferably of a plastic nature, although it can be made of any other appropriate material, such and as the classic metal beverage containers, at whose upper base and mostly affecting it, an open and substantially strangled neck is defined, provided near its free edge with a perimeter flange for its machi-female coupling to the likewise perimetral groove of a lid, machi-female effect that is achieved with the collaboration of a strangulation existing in one of the side walls of said groove and that must be exceeded by the flange of the body ring, by elastic deformation of these elements. This coupling can also be carried out by means of threading or equivalent joining system.
En una solución machi-hembrada, la citada tapa cuenta con un amplio rebaje diametral en una de cuyas dos mitades se establece el orificio de vertido, mientras que en las paredes laterales de dicho rebaje y en su zona media, se establecen alojamientos de embocadura estrangulada para acoplamiento del eje de basculación de una tapeta provista en su cara inferior de un cuello obturador, formal y dimensionalmente adecuado para acoplarse a presión en el citado orificio de vertido, en situación de cierre. Esta tapeta ocupa mayoritariamente la mitad correspondiente del rebaje de la tapa en situación de cierre, de manera que establece continuidad superficial con las zonas marginales de la tapa que enmarcan al rebaje diametral, siendo susceptible de encajar, en situación límite de apertura, en la mitad opuesta del citado rebaje, la cual presenta su extremidad libre cerrada determinando un asiento también coplanario con la superficie general externa de la tapa y destinado a facilitar la estabilidad en el apilamiento entre envases.In a machi-female solution, the aforementioned lid has a wide diametral recess in one of whose two halves the pouring hole is established, while in the side walls of said recess and in its middle area, strangulated mouth openings are established for coupling the tilting axis of a placket provided on its lower face with a sealing neck, formally and dimensionally suitable for snapping into said pouring hole, in a closed situation. This placket mostly occupies the corresponding half of the recess of the lid in a closed situation, so that it establishes superficial continuity with the marginal areas of the lid that frame the diametral recess, being susceptible to fit, in the opening limit situation, in the opposite half of the aforementioned recess, which has its closed free end determining a coplanar seat with the general external surface of the lid and intended to facilitate the stability in the stacking between containers.
Así pues y de acuerdo con lo anteriormente expuesto, la tapa se acopla a presión al cuello del cuerpo, definiendo un cierre estanco y estable, y a su vez el orificio de vertido establecido en dicha tapa se cierra también estanca y establemente mediante la tapeta basculante, dotada de un uñero para facilitar la maniobra de apertura de la misma.Thus, and in accordance with the foregoing, the lid is snapped into the neck of the body, defining a tight and stable closure, and in turn the pouring hole established in said lid is also tightly and stably closed by the tilting flap, equipped with a fingernail to facilitate the opening maneuver of the same.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓNPREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
A la vista de estas figuras puede observarse cómo el envase para bebidas que se preconiza está estructurado a partir de un cuerpo (1) , de revolución, preferentemente de naturaleza plástica, transparente u opaco, que se asemeja a un bote de bebidas convencional, incluso en su tamaño, incorporando en su base inferior un reborde anular (2) determinante de un apoyo sensiblemente circunferencial, mientras que en su extremidad superior incorpora un estrechamiento tronco-cónico (3) tras el que se remata en un cuello cilindrico (4) dotado de un reborde perimetral externo (5) .In view of these figures it can be seen how the beverage container that is recommended is structured from a body (1), of revolution, preferably of a plastic, transparent or opaque nature, which resembles a conventional beverage can, even in its size, incorporating in its lower base an annular flange (2) determining a substantially circumferential support, while in its upper extremity it incorporates a conical trunk-conical narrowing (3) after which it ends at a cylindrical neck (4) provided of an external perimeter flange (5).
Este cuerpo (1) se complementa con una tapa (6), de diámetro acorde con el del cuello (4) , tapa (6) provista de un faldón perimetral (7) afectado por una ranura (8) provista a su vez de una estrangulación en su seno, definida por un nervio (9) , anular, emergente de su pared externa, de manera que en el acoplamiento de la tapa (6) al cuerpo (1) , el nervio (9) sobrepasa en situación límite el reborde (5) del cuello (4) del cuerpo, mediante deformación elástica de estos elementos, determinando un cierre perfectamente estable, a la vez que totalmente estanco. Este sistema de cierre machihembrado, puede sustituirse por cualquier otro apropiado, tal y como rosca o similar.This body (1) is complemented by a cover (6), of a diameter in accordance with that of the neck (4), cover (6) provided with a perimeter skirt (7) affected by a groove (8) provided in turn with a strangulation in its bosom, defined by a nerve (9), annular, emerging from its outer wall, so that in the coupling of the cover (6) to the body (1), the nerve (9) exceeds the flange in a limiting situation (5) of the neck (4) of the body, by elastic deformation of these elements, determining a perfectly stable closure, while being totally tight. This tongue and groove closure system can be replaced by any other appropriate one, such as thread or similar.
La tapa (6) está afectada por un amplio rebaje diametral (10) , para el que se definen, en el ejemplo de realización práctica representado en la figura, dos sectores contrapuestos de configuración trapecial isoscélica relacionados entre sí mediante un estrecho cuello intermedio (11) en el que se establecen dos alojamientos laterales (12), de embocadura estrangulada y de fondo cilindrico, para el acoplamiento a presión de los extremos del eje (13) correspondiente a una tapeta (14) que juega en el seno del citado rebaje diametral (10), concretamente como elemento obturador para un amplio orificio de vertido (15) operativamente establecido en una de las dos mitades del rebaje (10) , a cuyo efecto la tapeta (14) cuenta con un cuello obturador (16) de diámetro adecuado para acoplarse a presión en el orificio (15) , el cual presenta su embocadura abocardada, para facilitar el acoplamiento de dicho cuello (16), y más allá de su abocardamiento un pequeño nervio perimetral (17) actuante como medio de estanqueización.The cover (6) is affected by a wide diametral recess (10), for which two examples are defined in the practical embodiment shown in the figure. opposing sectors of isoscelic trapezoid configuration related to each other by means of a narrow intermediate neck (11) in which two lateral housings (12), of strangulated mouth and cylindrical bottom, are established for pressure coupling of the shaft ends (13) corresponding to a placket (14) that plays within said diametrical recess (10), specifically as a sealing element for a large pouring hole (15) operatively established in one of the two halves of the recess (10), for which purpose the placket (14) has a sealing neck (16) of suitable diameter to engage in pressure in the hole (15), which has its flared mouth, to facilitate the coupling of said neck (16), and beyond its flare up a small perimeter nerve (17) acting as a means of sealing.
A partir de la situación de cierre para la tapeta (14) mostrada en las figuras 1 y 2, ésta es susceptible de bascular sobre su eje (13) , actuando sobre el uñero (18) de que está provista, hacia la situación vertical representada en las figuras 3 y 4, o hacia una situación de total abatimiento sobre la otra mitad del rebaje diametral (10) , para lo cual en esta situación de retirada total de la tapa, se preverá una uña o nervio (20) que retenga dicha tapa en esa posición evitando la caída involuntaria cuando el usuario está bebiendo.From the closing situation for the placket (14) shown in figures 1 and 2, it is capable of tilting on its axis (13), acting on the nail (18) provided, towards the vertical situation represented in figures 3 and 4, or towards a situation of total depression on the other half of the diametral recess (10), for which in this situation of total removal of the lid, a nail or nerve (20) will be provided that retains said cover in that position avoiding the involuntary fall when the user is drinking.
Solo resta señalar por último que el espesor de la tapa (14) es coincidente con la profundidad del rebaje (10), al objeto de que en situación de cierre la tapeta (14) establezca continuidad superficial con las zonas marginales y sobreelevadas de la tapa (6) , y que el sector de dicho rebaje (10) opuesto al de ubicación del orificio de vertido (15), es decir el que deja libre la tapeta (14) en situación de cierre, presenta su zona extrema externa cerrada mediante un tabique (19) que, como se observa especialmente en la figura 1, es también coplanario con el plano general y superior del envase, configurando un asiento que ayuda a la estabilización de envases idénticos, cuando se realiza un apilamiento de los mismos, situación en la que el apoyo anular y circunferencial (2) de un envase descansa sobre la zona perimetral del conjunto tapa-tapeta (6-14) del envase inmediatamente inferior.It only remains to point out finally that the thickness of the cover (14) is coincident with the depth of the recess (10), so that in a closed situation the cover (14) establishes surface continuity with the marginal and raised areas of the cover (6), and that the sector of said recess (10) opposite to the location of the pouring hole (15), that is, the one that leaves the placket (14) free in a closed situation, presents its closed outer end zone by partition (19) that, as it is observed especially in figure 1, it is also coplanar with the general and superior plane of the container, configuring a seat that helps the stabilization of identical containers, when stacking them, a situation in which the annular support and Circumferential (2) of a container rests on the perimeter area of the lid-placket assembly (6-14) of the immediately lower container.
En este sentido el alojamiento (12) para el ejeIn this sense the housing (12) for the shaft
(3) de basculación de la tapa, en lugar de adoptar una disposición diametral sobre la tapa (6) , queda ligeramente descentrado al objeto de que las dos mitades que dicho eje define sobre el rebaje (10) resulten iguales, o más bien simétricas, y más concretamente al objeto de que el asiento (19) no entorpezca la maniobra de total basculación de la tapeta (14).(3) of tilting the lid, instead of adopting a diametral arrangement on the lid (6), it is slightly offset so that the two halves that said axis defines on the recess (10) are equal, or rather symmetrical , and more specifically in order that the seat (19) does not hinder the total tilting maneuver of the placket (14).
En cuanto al orificio de vertido (15) , éste puede adoptar una configuración cilindrica pero su sección puede ser igualmente ovoide, triangular, etc.As for the pouring hole (15), it can adopt a cylindrical configuration but its section can also be ovoid, triangular, etc.
La tapa (6) y la tapeta (14) serán también preferentemente de naturaleza plástica, al igual que el cuerpo (1) . The lid (6) and the placket (14) will also preferably be of a plastic nature, as will the body (1).
