Definitions

  • the invention applies to packages comprising a cylindrical body having a base on one side and, on the side opposite to the cylindrical body, a lid equipped with an opening system for accessing and pouring the contents. of the packaging thus constituted. More specifically, the invention relates to a means of maintaining the hygienic conditions of packages more commonly known as "boxes" or "cans".
  • these packagings protect their contents from external contamination
  • the external surface of these packagings is in contact with different machines, operators and atmospheres from their filling until the time of consumption of the content by the end customer.
  • the drinks contained in these packages are consumed directly without the use of a glass or any other accessory.
  • the contents and mouth of the consumer come into contact with various parts of the outer surface of this package before said contents are ingested.
  • the box or can goes through different stages of storage, transport, distribution, exhibition and sale before finally reaching the consumer's hands.
  • the actors in charge of these different steps strive to maintain adapted hygienic conditions, dust and germs manage to accumulate on these boxes, mainly during the storage and transport stages, without control of the sanitary conditions. This has the consequence of negatively affecting the external state of the boxes on the one hand and being the cause of disease transmission, on the other hand.
  • the current invention claims to improve the hygienic protection through an envelope applicable to each individual box that effectively covers the upper part so that it is possible to avoid the accumulation of dirt and germs since the application of this envelope until the moment of consumption of the contents of the box.
  • the termo-retractable label covering the bobbin is provided with pre-cuts in the zone. corresponding to the capsule of the can, so that the upper part of the termo-retractable label can be torn and thus remove the upper capsule.
  • the termo-retractable label is provided with a tongue provided to improve the grip of the upper part of the termo-retractable label at the time of tearing it apart from the rest of the termo-retractable label.
  • the upper capsule is circular in shape substantially coinciding with the total surface of the lid of the box.
  • the capsule is made of cardboard.
  • Another feature of the present invention resides in the fact that the capsule is made of thermo-formed plastic.
  • the upper capsule is provided with one or more grooves provided to allow the stacking of the boxes on each other.
  • the box comprises a layer of a moisture absorbing material, inserted between the outer face of the cylindrical body of the box and the inner face of the termo-retractable label, the thermo-retractable label being provided with micro-perforations adapted to allow evaporation of the liquid or fluid absorbed by said absorbent material.
  • the absorbent material is paper based. It is preferably a creped paper, based on recycled cellulose fibers having a basis weight of at least 80 Gr / m2.
  • An alternative is to use a synthetic paper based on plastic polymer fibers such as polypropylene.
  • the closed container located within the termo-retractable label is a can or a can of drink.
  • a container is used more commonly as cans, more particularly those used for the packaging of beverages, and this type of container is the embodiment mainly targeted by the invention.
  • this type of container is the embodiment mainly targeted by the invention.
  • Fig.1 shows a sectional side view of one of these containers (can) with the upper capsule 6 placed on the cover 4 of said can, and the termo-retractable label 7 about to be adjusted / retracted by surrounding the cylindrical body 2 of the container 1 and partially the cover 4 and the base 3.
  • the material of the termo-retractable label 7 may be, for example, any plastic film thermo-retractile which in the process on the appropriate packaging line and applying the necessary heat, would adjust substantially to the contour of the can, compressing and thus holding the upper cap 6 against the cover 4 of said can.
  • This step of removing the upper capsule 6 and the termo-retractable label 7 can be done in the packaging / filling workshop directly after the hermetic crimping cans with the advantage that the cover 4 is barely exposed to the attack of external agents harmful to health.
  • said capsule 6 protects the lid 4 of the can until the moment of its consumption as shown in the drawing 2b.
  • the capsule 6 may be of any material which would have sufficient mechanical strength to withstand the impact that the container 1 could undergo during transport or storage and which, at the same time, has the minimum nutritional characteristics insofar as it is in contact with the lid 4 of the can.
  • the materials used in the most common forms of the invention may be mentioned various types of plastics and cardboard.
  • the termo-retractable label itself can be used as a print medium for logos, brands or other product information contained in the cans.
  • Fig. 2a represents the container 1 of the invention once fixed the termo-retractable label 7.
  • the termo-retractable label 7 fully adapts to the outline of the can with the consequence of do not affect his form.
  • this adaptation to the outline of the can acts to grip and hold the upper cap 6 against the lid 4.
  • the shape of the upper capsule 6 is preferred, so that it adapts to the shape of the lid 4 so as to cover the entire area of the latter. This configuration contributes to the improvement of hygiene conditions.
  • the protection provided by both the capsule 6 and the termo-retractable label 7, is specific to each can. In such a way that even if the consumer only buys one can at a time (more than 50% of the cases), the hygienic protection of the said can remains guaranteed until the consumer decides to do so. 'open. This is not true for systems used to date for which protection applies to a group of identical cans. In this case, a bobbin taken in isolation, is no longer protected by these systems.
  • FIG. 2b exactly the same embodiment as that of the form shown in FIG. 2a but in this case, with the upper capsule 6 and the corresponding area of the termo-retractable label 7 raised and partially detached.
  • the termo-retractable label 7 is provided with pre-cuts or marks 8 which facilitate the separation of this area of the termo-retractable label 7 and the capsule superior 6 on the part of the consumer.
  • the latter must simply pull on the upper zone of the termo-retractable label 7 to discover the lid 4; By pulling on said upper zone of the termo-retractable label 7, the latter can carry with it the upper capsule 6 (thanks to the removal of an adhesive or any other element of union of the 2 components) or the capsule upper 6 can simply remain freely posed on the cover 4 and be easily removed by the consumer.
  • the upper zone of the termo-retractable label 7 is provided with a tongue so that the consumer can pull more easily on said termo-retractable label 7 and discover the lid 4.
  • Figs. 3a and 3b show another embodiment of the invention in which the upper capsule 6 has a groove or grooves 9 for the purpose of facilitating the stacking of several containers 1 (FIG 3b).
  • the profile of these grooves 9 is such that it makes it possible to couple the outer bead of the base 3 with the bottom of the groove or grooves 9. this characteristic brings more stability to containers 1 for storage or at the point of sale.
  • the tearing modes of the upper zone of the termo-retractable label 7 and extraction of the upper capsule 6 is the same as that described in FIGS. 2a and 2b. In this case, it must be taken into account that the material of the capsule 6 must be sufficiently resistant to support the weight of several containers 1 without deforming.
  • FIG. 4 Another preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 4 indicates that between the termo-retractable label 7 and the cylindrical body 2 of the container 1, was inserted an absorbent material 10, preferably paper.
  • the purpose of this absorbent material 10 is to preserve or reach a suitable temperature for the consumption of the contents of the can especially in situations where the consumer does not have artificial refrigeration means such as a refrigerator.
  • the container 1 of Fig.4 can be immersed, for example in the water of a pond, a lake or in seawater so that the material 10 impregnates the liquid in which it is immersed through the micro-perforations (not shown in the figures) made on the termo-retractable label 7.
  • the micro-perforations not shown in the figures
  • the latter begins to evaporate slowly (arrows of Fig.4), through the micro-perforations causing a decrease in the temperature of the contents of the can from the consumption of calories needed for evaporation.
  • the contents of the container 1 thus acquires a temperature more adapted to its consumption, particularly in the summer period.
  • the paper constituting the absorbent material is preferably a creped paper made from recycled cellulose fibers and whose grammage is greater than 80 gr / m2.
  • a paper based on plastic polymer fibers such as polypropylene is an alternative.
  • FIG. 5 shows an upper perspective view of the container 1 with the upper zone of the termo-retractable label 7 and The corresponding upper capsule 6 raised.
  • the lid 4 of the bobbin is fully exposed and ready to be opened for consumption of the contents.
  • the advantages of the present invention in terms of hygienic protection, external presentation (which brings more reliability to the product in the mind of the consumer).
  • the invention reduces the impact on the recycling of the boxes in that the termo-retractable label 7 is not bonded to the cylindrical body 2 of the can and can in fact be treated separately.
  • the can filling workshop is no longer required to keep in stock all types of printed cans corresponding to each brand.
  • the anonymous cans can be dressed and personalized after filling with the termo-retractable label corresponding to their contents.
  • the upper capsule 6 can be used to support or convey different promotions that reward the consumer of the content or can simply serve as an advertising medium.
