Description

Envase dispensador.Dispensing container

La presente invención tiene por objeto un envase, tal como un envase para frutos secos con cáscara, que presenta una abertura de dosificación del producto y un receptáculo superior de las cáscaras o envolturas residuales de dichos productos.The present invention aims at a container, such as a container for nuts in shell, which It has a product dosing opening and a receptacle upper of the shells or residual wraps of said products.

La venta de productos tales como frutos secos (pistachos, pipas de girasol, cacahuetes, semillas de calabaza, entre otros) se realiza habitualmente en bolsas de pequeñas dimensiones que permiten el consumo en una sesión de una buena parte o del total del contenido del envase.The sale of products such as nuts (pistachios, sunflower seeds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, among others) is usually done in small bags dimensions that allow consumption in a session of a good part or total of the contents of the package.

Este tipo de productos tiende a ser de consumo inmediato. Sin embargo, presentan el problema de requerir un recipiente adicional para la colocación de las cáscaras o envolturas resultantes de su consumo, de modo que se evite la suciedad que suele caracterizar la ingesta de este tipo de productos.This type of products tends to be consumer righ now. However, they present the problem of requiring a additional container for the placement of the shells or wrappings resulting from its consumption, so as to avoid dirt that usually characterizes the intake of this type of products.

Es, no obstante, frecuente ver en los parques públicos y otros espacios abiertos junto a los bancos en los que se reúnen grupos de jóvenes que el espacio circundante está cubierto de cáscaras de pipas o pistachos, lo que hace desagradable y no invita a que otras personas ocupen dichos espacios.It is, however, frequent to see in the parks public and other open spaces next to the banks where gather groups of young people that the surrounding space is covered of shells of pipes or pistachios, which makes it unpleasant and not invites other people to occupy these spaces.

También, en espacios cerrados o abiertos tales como salas de proyección cinematográfica u otros espectáculos, se produce el efecto de que, o bien no pueden comerse este tipo de productos debido a la suciedad que generan, o prolifera dicha suciedad.Also, in closed or open spaces such as cinematic projection rooms or other shows, it It has the effect that they cannot eat this type of products due to the dirt they generate, or such proliferation proliferates dirt.

Por otra parte, la venta de estos productos en bolsas hace que sea difícil la extracción de los mismos, particularmente cuando la bolsa está ya parcial o casi totalmente consumida.Moreover, the sale of these products in bags makes it difficult to extract them, particularly when the bag is already partially or almost completely consumed

Es por ello deseable que los envases en los que se suministran los frutos secos y similares reúnan unas condiciones por las que se facilite su dispensación al consumidor sin necesidad de meter los dedos en la bolsa correspondiente, y al mismo tiempo dispongan de un receptáculo receptor del producto residual, tal como cáscaras o envolturas.It is therefore desirable that the containers in which nuts and similar are supplied meet conditions which facilitates its dispensation to the consumer without need of putting your fingers in the corresponding bag, and at the same time have a receiver receptacle for the residual product, such as shells or wraps.

Conforme se ha apuntado, se describe un envase dispensador especialmente concebido para frutos secos y similares, tales como semillas de girasol 23 y otros productos provistos de cáscara o envoltura. Está realizado a partir de una plantilla plana troquelada mediante cuyo doblado adecuado se obtiene un cuerpo prismático. Dicho cuerpo prismático, en la realización representada, comprende una cara central 1 provista de un rebaje que definirá una abertura inferior 21 del prisma una vez montado. Dicho rebaje tiene una altura de entre 1/3 y 1/15 de la altura total del prisma, según el producto que vaya a alojarse en su interior. De modo contiguo a dicha cara central rebajada se disponen sendas caras adyacentes 2 y 3, estando la 3 provista de una solapa 8 de unión con la cara 2. Si bien una realización preferente comprende un prisma de base triangular, bien podría ser este de base cuadrada, rectangular u otra sin alterar la esencia de lo descrito.As noted, a container is described dispenser specially designed for nuts and the like, such as sunflower seeds 23 and other products provided with shell or wrap. It is made from a flat template die cut through whose proper bending a body is obtained prismatic. Said prismatic body, in the embodiment shown, it comprises a central face 1 provided with a recess that will define a bottom opening 21 of the prism once mounted. Said recess has a height between 1/3 and 1/15 of the total height of the prism, according to the product that is going to stay inside. Contiguously to said lowered central face are arranged adjacent faces 2 and 3, the 3 being provided with a flap 8 connecting with the face 2. Yes either a preferred embodiment comprises a base prism triangular, it could well be this square, rectangular or another without altering the essence of what has been described.

La parte superior del prisma comprende, por una parte una cubierta 4 practicable, que está unida por un de sus lados al lado superior de una de las caras del prisma, provista en el resto de sus lados de sendas solapas laterales 9 de unión, mediante inserción, con las correspondientes caras del prisma. La forma de la cubierta 4 determinará la sección del prisma conformado. Conforme a la realización de la figura 1, la cubierta 4 está unida al extremo superior de una de los lados extremos en el desarrollo plano. El otro extremo comprende una porción 5 con una proyección 12, que una vez realizado el montaje de la pieza tiene como función insertarse en una ranura 11 practicada en la cubierta 4, permitiendo una correcta sujeción de dicha cubierta superior. La inserción de la proyección 12 en la ranura 11 puede realizarse interior o exteriormente, y dicha unión es susceptible de ser abierta para el uso que posteriormente se describirá. La unión o cierre de ambas piezas puede tener lugar, por ejemplo, mediante un precinto de papel adhesivo o similar.The upper part of the prism comprises, by a part a practicable cover 4, which is joined by one of its sides to the upper side of one of the faces of the prism, provided in the rest of its sides of paths side flaps 9 of union, by insertion, with the corresponding faces of the prism. The cover shape 4 will determine the prism section conformed. According to the embodiment of figure 1, the cover 4 is attached to the upper end of one of the extreme sides in the flat development The other end comprises a portion 5 with a projection 12, which once the piece has been assembled has as a function inserted into a slot 11 in the cover 4, allowing correct fastening of said upper cover. The insertion of projection 12 into slot 11 can be performed internally or externally, and said union is likely to be open for use that will be described later. The union or closure of both pieces can take place, for example, by a adhesive paper seal or similar.

La parte inferior del prisma comprende también una cubierta 6, unida preferentemente a una de las caras laterales del prisma, en la que en al menos uno de sus lados comprende una solapa 10 de unión con la correspondiente cara contigua de dicho prisma. También en la parte inferior, en la cara lateral del extremo opuesto (según el desarrollo plano), se dispone una porción 7, provista a su vez de una proyección 16. Del mismo modo que en la parte superior, la proyección 14 es susceptible de insertarse en una ranura 14 provista en la cubierta 6.The lower part of the prism also includes a cover 6, preferably attached to one of the side faces of the prism, in which at least one of its sides comprises a binding flap 10 with the corresponding adjacent face of said prism. Also at the bottom, on the side face of the opposite end (according to flat development), a portion is arranged 7, in turn provided with a projection 16. In the same way as in the upper part, the projection 14 is capable of being inserted in a slot 14 provided in the cover 6.

Sobre uno de los lados 30 de la base 6 queda articulada una solapa 15, de modo que una vez montado el prisma y adecuadamente doblada es susceptible de obturar la abertura 21. Las partes laterales de la solapa 15 presentan unas paredes 17, que, una vez montado el prisma, estarán total o parcialmente introducidas en el interior de dicho prisma a través de la abertura 21 y contiguas a las paredes de las caras laterales a las de dicha abertura 21, en función de la posición de apertura o cierre, disponiendo dichas paredes laterales de un resalte 18 que hace la función de tope de apertura, manteniendo siempre al menos una parte de dichas paredes laterales en el interior del prisma.On one of the sides 30 of the base 6 is articulated a flap 15, so that once mounted the prism and properly folded it is capable of sealing the opening 21. The side parts of the flap 15 have walls 17, which, once the prism is mounted, they will be fully or partially introduced inside said prism through opening 21 and adjacent to the walls of the lateral faces to those of said opening 21, depending on the opening or closing position, said side walls having a shoulder 18 that makes the opening stop function, always maintaining at least one part of said side walls inside the prism.

El prisma aloja un cuerpo 19 de separación, de igual sección que el prisma, provisto de unas solapas laterales 20 para su adecuada sujeción en el interior del mismo. Si bien dicho cuerpo tendrá únicamente función una vez abierto el envase, dispuesto el producto 23 "suelto" en la parte inferior y sobre dicho producto 23 dicho cuerpo de separación 19.The prism houses a separation body 19, of same section as the prism, provided with side flaps 20 for proper support inside it. Yes well said body will only function once the container is opened, arranged the product 23 "loose" at the bottom and on said product 23 said separation body 19.

Si bien el envase dispensador de la invención puede tener en su interior el producto ya "suelto", normalmente se contendrá en una bolsa 22, quedando el cuerpo separador 19 dispuesto en el interior sin función alguna.While the dispensing container of the invention you can have inside the product already "loose", normally it will be contained in a bag 22, leaving the body separator 19 arranged inside without any function.

Una vez abierto el envase, el cuerpo separador 19 se dispondrá, normalmente, con las solapas 20 hacia arriba, y siendo susceptible de desplazamiento a lo largo del cuerpo interior del prisma que lo forma, definirá un alojamiento de volumen variable (creciente conforme se vaya consumiendo el producto interior) que 1 permitirá la disposición en su interior de las cáscaras, peladuras o residuos.Once the container is opened, the separator body 19 will normally be arranged with the flaps 20 facing up, and being susceptible to displacement along the inner body of the prism that forms it, will define a volume accommodation variable (increasing as the product is consumed inside) that 1 will allow the arrangement inside the shells, peels or waste.

El envase dispensador de la invención comprende también la configuración de una pestaña 13 conformada en la parte superior de una de sus caras laterales, de modo que el extremo inferior de dicha pestaña puede ser ligeramente separado para facilitar su colocación, por ejemplo, en muebles expositores, en salpicaderos o cinturones de seguridad de vehículos, borde de una mesa, etc.The dispensing package of the invention comprises also the configuration of a tab 13 formed in the part upper one of its side faces, so that the end bottom of said tab can be slightly separated to facilitate its placement, for example, in furniture exhibitors, in dashboards or vehicle seat belts, edge of a table, etc.

Las figuras 3 a 7 muestran una evolución en el uso del envase dosificador de la invención, en la que puede apreciarse como, en primer lugar, hay una bolsa en el interior, que se extrae junto con el cuerpo separador 19, para introducir el producto suelto en el interior del envase. Posteriormente se coloca el cuerpo separador 19, y se abre la solapa 15, permitiendo la toma de los productos por parte del usuario, y la disposición de las cáscaras y residuos en la parte superior.Figures 3 to 7 show an evolution in the use of the dosing container of the invention, in which it can appreciate how, first of all, there is a bag inside, which it is extracted together with the separator body 19, to introduce the loose product inside the container. Subsequently placed the separator body 19, and the flap 15 is opened, allowing the taking of the products by the user, and the disposition of the shells and waste on top.

Finalmente, una vez consumido la totalidad del producto 23, se cierra nuevamente el envase para depositarlo, en papeleras, contenedores o en la bolsa de basura doméstica.Finally, once consumed the entire product 23, the container is closed again to deposit it, in bins, containers or in the household trash bag.

Los productos dispuestos en el envase podrían ser también caramelos, bombones o similares, quedando el espacio superior al cuerpo separador como depósito de las envolturas.The products arranged in the package could be also candies, chocolates or similar, leaving the space superior to the separating body as a deposit of the envelopes.

Todo lo aquí descrito con referencia a un prisma será igualmente válido en la conformación de otras figuras geométricas, tales como un tronco de pirámide, por ejemplo.Everything described here with reference to a prism it will be equally valid in the conformation of other figures geometric, such as a pyramid trunk, for example.
