Definitions

  • the invention proposes the development of a device for attaching removable containers, comprising a central body on both sides of which the containers are arranged in a matricial form. Independent fixing means are provided between a central body and each container.
  • the present applicant has several utility models relating to a protector element for can-like containers, which is mainly provided with an upper cover and a lower ring which are interconnected by a hinge.
  • the applicant is not aware of the existence of a device that allows stacking of containers provided with the protector elements described above which, in addition to attaching the containers, prevents them from being handled before removing the container from device for attaching containers.
  • Independent fixing means are provided between the central body and each container, characterised in that said fixing means comprise a flap that projects laterally from the central body and has an essentially U-shaped profile that can be snapped into a hinge forming part of an upper cover-lower ring set provided on the container, thereby obtaining a way of transporting and protecting can-like containers that is an alternative to systems known in the art, that is constructively simple and easy for the user to utilise.
  • the hinge has a flange projecting in such a way that, in a condition of assembling the containers, contact is made with an inner section of the flap, such that rotational movement of the upper cover is impeded with respect to the lower ring.
  • the central body has a series of reinforcing ribs arranged perpendicularly and longitudinally to the elongated axis of said central body, which provide greater rigidity to the structure of the fastening device.
  • the two opposite ends of the central body comprise a latching means for coupling such ends to each other.
  • a latching means for coupling such ends to each other.
  • said flap includes a projection which projects upwardly from the upper face curved in a "U" shape and can be inserted in a housing provided in the hinge connected to the upper cover, and in which the upper flange of the innermost tab of the flap defines a support surface on which a protrusion on the hinge rests.
  • the projection is a lower height to the height of the wall of the flap.
  • the projection is integral to the flap.
  • hooks can project from the central body that can be coupled to the hinge when the upper cover-lower ring set is mounted on the central body. These hooks provide greater stability to the container over the central body and prevent sudden oscillating movements of the containers while transporting the pack.
  • a protector element for containers 1 is composed of an upper cover 2 and a lower ring 3 coupled to the lateral wall of the container 1, the previous two parts being joined by a hinge 4 to facilitate the user to open and close the upper cover 2 in a convenient and simple manner.
  • the invention provides a fastening device for transporting removable containers, comprising an elongated, thin central body 5, made preferably from an injection mouldable plastic material and biodegradable with a polyethylene or polypropylene base together with a number of additives which favour oxo-biodegradation such that degradation occurs naturally.
  • the central body 5 is designed such that the containers 1 are arranged in a matricial form on both sides of the central body, (e.g. three containers for each row) during the packaging condition. Independent fixing means, which are described below, are provided between a central body 5 and each container 1.
  • the fixing means that are arranged along the central body 5, for a respective container they comprise a flap 6 that projects laterally from the central body 5, having an essentially U-shaped profile that can be coupled by means of a hinge 4 forming part of an upper cover-lower ring set provided on the container 1, by being pressed downward over said hinge.
  • said flap 6 includes a projection 9 which projects upwardly from the upper face curved in a "U" shape and can be inserted in a housing 8 provided in the hinge 4 connected to the aforementioned upper cover 2, said projection 9 having a lower height to the height of the wall of the flap 6. Furthermore, it provides a flat, narrow support surface 10 that is defined on the upper flange of the innermost tab of the flap 6 on which a protrusion 11 on the hinge 4 rests, more specifically the part connected to the upper cover 2.
  • the projection 9 is integral to the flap 6, obtained at the same stage of the injection moulding process of the central body 5.
  • each flap 6 On both opposite sides of each flap 6 some hooks12 project from the central body that can be coupled to the hinge 4 when the upper cover 2- lower ring 3 set is mounted on the central body 5. In this device, two hooks 12 are coupled, one at each end of the hinge 4.
  • Removal of the cans from the central body 5 is carried out by simply rotating the container at about a 90 degree angle in the direction towards the central body 5 such that it overcomes the elastic force exerted by the flap 6 on the hinge 4 and at the same time the projection 9 is decoupled from the axis of the hinge 4 and the protrusion 11 is separated from the support surface 10 producing a "click" sound at that moment.
  • the central body 5 has reinforcing ribs 7 arranged perpendicularly and longitudinally to the elongated axis of said central body 5 and a pair of holes 13 which facilitate gripping the set since the user can pass their fingers through said holes 13, conveniently transporting the pack.
  • Such holes 13 are located in the spaces between the containers 1 when they are arranged in a matricial form by taking advantage of the curved shapes of such containers.
  • the central body 5 has latching means at the two free ends for transforming the central body 5 into a bracelet which can be placed on the user's arm and be closed by the latching means.
  • Such latching means may be the type that are clipped or pressed down.
