Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an innovative process for applying a protective device to beverage recipients, notably metal cans used for bottling beer, sparkling drinks, energy drinks, juices, etc.
  • the present invention also refers to a beverage recipient, exactly like a metal can, having at least a protective device applied by the above process.
  • said format of the upper portion of the cans facilitates the accumulation of moisture and consequently the proliferation of pathogenic micro-organisms.
  • these contaminating agents may be harmful to the health of the consumer who drank the liquid from the contaminated can, especially considering that the vast majority of consumers overlooks this risk and simply does not clean the can at all prior to consuming the drink.
  • the very applicant proposed an innovative and efficient seal which, besides having a protective effect, also bears a revolutionary thermochromic property, enabling the identification of the ideal temperature of the can for consuming the beverage.
  • This innovative seal is the object of international patent PCT/BR2008/000102 , the description of which is incorporated herein for prompt reference.
  • the main characteristic of the seal that is the object of patent application PCT/BR2008/000102 is that it is manufactured separately (or in isolation), in a prior stage to that of its installation on the can. It is obtained preferably by injection and has its own structure.
  • Seals having their own structure have the advantage of bearing more elaborate formats, allowing, for example, characters to be printed carrying the name of the drink whose can it will protect, etc., and may have a different appearance and a controlled surface finishing, among other properties, while the seals shaped as they are applied to the can are esthetically less elaborate and are designed merely to act as protection, with no additional function.
  • the first process for applying a protective seal in beverage cans is disclosed in North American patent US 6,336,309 .
  • the process comprises the initial positioning of a thermoformable film over a plurality of lined cans, positioned on a specific item of equipment. After the thermoformable film is positioned over the cans and heated, at the same time in which it is compressed to contact the upper portion of the can, being shaped, sealing the can and preventing contact with ambient air.
  • Document JP 2152607 refers to a process of applying seals on beverage cans in which seals are formed by heating a thermoformable film into molds and, after shaping them, expulsed from the molds by applying jets of pressurized air, at the same time in which they are positioned over the upper portion of the cans. Next, the cans are positioned on a moving device (such as a belt) to a circular station where the seals are compressed on the cans to effect correct interlocking.
  • a moving device such as a belt
  • document JP2045331 also discloses a process of applying a thermoformable seal for drink cans, wherein the seal is shaped when it is applied to the can.
  • the objective of the present invention is a process for applying a protective device to beverage recipients which enables the position of devices having their own structure on each bottled recipient, with speed and ultra high efficiency, without causing any delay to the production line of beverages, that is, without causing any decline in productivity of the line due to the application thereof.
  • the objective of the present invention is also a process for applying a protective device to beverage recipients that enables the positioning of devices on a bottled recipient, practically without increase in cost, allowing the drink to be competitively placed on the consumer market.
  • an objective of the present invention is also a recipient, particularly a beverage recipient in the form of a metal can, having at least a protective element applied by the process described above.
  • a recipient particularly a beverage recipient, which comprises a seal applied according to the process defined in the prior paragraph.
  • the present invention refers to an innovative process for applying a protective device 1 to beverage recipients 7, both illustrated in figure 9 , notably metal cans used for bottling beer and sparkling drinks, as well as a beverage recipient 7, exactly like a metal can, per se , when having at least a protective device applied by the above process.
  • the protective device 1 is idealized for application to beverage recipients 7 in the form of beverage cans having diverse formats and drinks, such as cans of beers, soft drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks, juices, teas, vodkas and assorted spirits, among others, but obviously it can be applied to another other kind of recipient, if necessary or desirable.
  • the protective device 1 developed for use in a beverage recipient 7 comprises a first portion substantially circular 2 from which there projects a second portion being substantially ring-shaped 3.
  • the first portion defines a first inner surface 2a, facing the upper portion of the beverage recipient 7 (where the frangible opening for consuming the drink is located) and a second opposite surface 2b, facing the outside, which can optionally carry advertising messages, information on the drink, drawings, pictures, etc.
  • the first portion 2 comprises a circular channel 2c which allows the stacking of a portion of beverage recipients 7 protected by the protective device 1.
  • the second ring-shaped portion 3 defines a third inner surface 3a facing the side wall of the beverage recipient 7 and a fourth opposite surface 3b, facing the outside, which may optionally comprise gripping grooves and at least a tab 60 for removing the seal.
  • the projection 3 may be substantially cylindrical, tronconical or any other kind, provided it is functional.
  • the space defined by the first inner surface 2a of the first circular portion 2 and by the third inner surface 3a of the second ring-shaped portion 3 corresponds to a cavity.
  • the protective device 1 is preferably shaped by injected plastic, in fact the circular and cylindrical portions 2, 3 are parts of a single whole.
  • At least an interlocking means to contact the protective device 1 onto the upper part of the beverage recipient 7.
  • said means is a ring-shaped projection that cooperates with a ring-shaped projection existing in the beverage recipient 7 (resulting from the re-embedding of the upper portion of the can on its side wall), correctly contacting the protective device 1 in place.
  • the aforementioned cavity perfectly accommodates the upper portion of the beverage recipient 7, particularly because the second ring-shaped portion 3 acts as a sleeve, protecting the side of the can, adjacently to its upper portion (which is where the consumer places his mouth to drink), against the entrance of dirt and contaminants. Consequently, the chance of the consumer coming into contact with any contaminating agent is negligible.
  • the protective device 1 additionally has a seal 6, comprised by at least a frangible line, which makes clear and visible any violation of the protective device 1 and, if applicable, opening of the can, situations in which the protection against dirt can no longer be guaranteed.
  • breaking the seal 6 is an indication that the region of the cavity may have been exposed to dirt and contaminants and that the sealing against this kind of substance can no longer be guaranteed.
  • any protective device may be applied to a can (such as, for example, the object of the patent application PCT/BR2008/000102 filed by the applicant itself, or any other) without the resulting invention straying from the scope of protection of the appended claims.
  • the protective device has its own structure, that is, it is manufactured separately (or in isolation), in a stage prior to its installation in the recipient. Even more preferably, the protective device 1 is manufactured by injection.
  • the process for applying a protective device 1 on the beverage recipients 7, object of the present invention has as its first essential characteristic is to cause minimum impact on the conventional beverage production line, which in itself reduces the implantation cost.
  • a protective device feeder 100 should be used, illustrated in figures 1 to 4 , capable of feeding the protective devices 1 on the production line, so that subsequently they can be fastened over the beverage recipient 7, which, in turn, travels normally along the recipient conveyor belt 101, after bottling the beverage and re-embedding of its upper portion (or "lid").
  • the process for applying a protective device 1 to beverage recipients 7 comprises the following steps:
  • the protective devices 1 Before positioning the protective devices 1 over the beverage recipients 7, they preferably receive a sterilizing or sanitizing treatment, with a view to annihilating any pathogenic agents.
  • the protective devices 1 are submitted to the application of air at high temperatures, which is a highly efficient means and currently used by the food products industry for sterilization.
  • the protective devices 1 may receive the application of gamma (y) rays and/or EtO (ethylene oxide) gases.
  • y gamma
  • EtO ethylene oxide
  • the upper portion of the beverage recipient 7 is preferably kept free of moisture, so as to avoid the proliferation of fungus, bacteria and mites after fastening the protective device 1 on the beverage recipient 7.
  • the present invention provides a solution for completely drying the upper portion of the beverage recipient 7 by applying a certain amount of heat sufficient to provide the evaporation of all moisture which may be present in said upper portion of the beverage recipient 7.
  • the heat is provided by means of a hothouse 102 positioned on the recipient conveyor belt 101 itself, as can be seen in figures 1 and 2 .
  • This hothouse 102 can also be used in the sterilization and sanitization step of the beverage recipient 7 described above.
  • a recipient conveyor belt 101 is associated to at least a screw shaft 103, such that each beverage recipient 7 is accommodated between two consecutive threaded screws to be conveyed by the rotational movement of the screw shaft 103.
  • the screw shaft 103 is associated to a protective device applicator 104, so as to enable the conveyance of the beverage recipient 7 from the recipient conveyor belt 101 to said protective device applicator 104.
  • a protective device 1 Concomitantly to the conveyance of the beverage recipient 7 by the recipient conveyor belt 101 and by the screw shaft 103, there is also the conveyance of at least a protective device 1 from the protective device feeder 100 to the protective device applicator 104 by means of a protective device conveyor 105 which, preferably, consists of a mechanism of drives and/or belt. Naturally, other devices, mechanisms and suitable means of conveyance could be used.
  • the protective device 1 should be positioned with its second portion being substantially ring-shaped 3 facing the upper portion of the beverage recipient 7.
  • the present invention is capable of guaranteeing said correct positioning automatically by way of a correction drum 112 which is preferably comprised by the protective device feeder 100, as can be seen in figures 3 and 4 .
  • the protective device feeder 100 is provided with an upwards conveyor belt 107 capable of conveying the protective devices 1 to the correction drum 112, which, in turn, is associated to the protective device conveyor 105.
  • This upwards conveyor belt 107 has a substantially open and inverted "C" format (mirrored) and is provided with a base portion 108, an upwards portion 109 and a delivery portion 110 jointly associated.
  • the conveyance of the protective devices 1 on the upwards conveyor belt 107 is as follows: firstly, the base portion 108 receives the protective devices 1 and conducts them to the upwards portion 109, which in turn, conducts the protective devices 1 vertically towards the delivery portion 110, where the protective devices 1 are transferred to the correction drum 112 by gravity force.
  • the correction drum 112 capable of angularly moving in a rotational fashion around its geometric axis, comprises a plurality of flaps (not illustrated), disposed at angles in relation to the inner wall of the drum, arranged to receive the protective devices 1 coming from the upwards conveyor belt 107. If the protective device 1 is already positioned correctly in the flaps of the correction drum 112 (there is cooperation between the protective device 1 and the flaps), it is conveyed to an upper position in the correction drum 112 (see figures 3 and 4 ) so that it can be transferred to the protective device conveyor 105.
  • the protective device 1 is not accommodated in the flaps of the correction drum 112 correctly (there is no cooperation between the protective device 1 and the flaps), it is not transferred to the protective device conveyor 105, and remains in the correction drum 112 until its position is corrected by the rotational angular movement of the correction drum 112. More specifically, when the protective device 1 reaches a highest maximum point in the correction drum 112 it falls into other flaps of the correction drum 112 (lowest minimum point) by gravity force, disposed diametrically opposite the flaps in which the protective device 1 was previously accommodated, as there is no cooperation between the protective device 1 and the flaps. In this last step, the positioning of the protective device 1 is corrected.
  • the protective device feeder 100 it is arranged so as to correct the position of the protective device 1 automatically.
  • the protective device applicator 104 comprises a mechanism of three stars 115, namely, a first star 116, a second star 117 and a third star 118, capable of angularly moving in rotational fashion around its respective central geometric axes.
  • Each star is provided with at least an accommodation capable of receiving at least a beverage recipient 7.
  • each star 116, 117, 118 has a plurality of accommodations to allow the simultaneous housing of a plurality of beverage recipients 7, providing great speed and rapidity to the process (process streamlining).
  • the protective device feeder 100 and the protective device conveyor 105 are arranged to provide a discharge of protective devices 1 compatible with the configuration and rotational speed of the three stars 116, 117, 118.
  • the three stars 116, 117, 118 are both disposed adjacently and tangentially two by two (in pairs), so that the transfer of the protective devices 1 between the adjacent stars occurs precisely at their tangent points. It is important to note that the stars disposed adjacently together rotate in opposite directions.
  • the first star 116 is associated to at least a screw shaft mechanism 103, already mentioned.
  • Said synchronization, which occurs while the first star 116 moves angularly, is provided by means of an accelerating device capable of positioning the protective devices 1 adjacently together before they enter the first star 116.
  • the first star 116 is capable of guaranteeing the perfect indexation or synchronicity, between the supply of protective devices 1 and the discharge of beverage recipients 7 which are conducted to the second star 117.
  • the second star 117 receives the protective device 1 of the first star 116 by means of a vacuum force or any other suitable means, to guarantee that it is correctly positioned over an upper portion of a beverage recipient 7. This positioning is only possible by the synchronicity provided by the first star 116. In other words, the first star 116 enables highly precise positioning of the protective device 1 over the surface portion of each beverage recipient 7 in the second star 117.
  • fastening the protective device 1 over the beverage recipient 7 is by the cooperation of the already mentioned ring-shaped projection provided in the protective device 1 with a ring-shaped projection existing on the upper portion of the beverage recipient 7 (and resulting from the re-embedding of the upper portion of the can on its side wall). Said cooperation completely engages the seal on the can, such that the protective device 1 cannot be withdrawn from the can without violation (breaking of the seal 6).
  • the fastening equipment 113 is provided with at least a plurality of re-embedding heads 114 capable of exerting a pressure of, for example, 1 atmosphere (atm) on the protective device 1 to contact the beverage recipient 7.
  • Said pressure which may naturally vary according to the type of protective device 1, can (beverage recipient 7) and equipment involved, fastens the protective device 1 definitively.
  • the fastening equipment 113 comprises upper inner rails, along which the re-embedding heads 114 move according to the angular rotational movement of the second star 117.
  • Re-embedding occurs when the re-embedding head 114 passes through a cam, associated to the rail, capable of permitting an axial movement of the re-embedding head 114 downwards, so to exert a pressure on the protective device 1 and the beverage recipient 7.
  • the beverage recipient already bearing the protective device 1 is conducted to a photoelectric cell, fiber optics or the like, for checking, and forwarded to the so-called shipment packing lung, for packing into cardboard boxes and/or application of plastic film.
  • a further invention that is new and inventive, included in the scope of protection of the appended claims, is a beverage recipient 7, which comprises the protective device 1 now described.
