Definitions
- the present invention relates to a closing device according to the preamble of claim 1, that is used to close food cans that are open.
- This closing device is an element that can be adapted to any type of food packaging and one of the advantages thereof is that it is reusable.
- the general field of application of the present invention is the industry for producing plastic parts or elements, and particularly, this invention is also related to the industrial sector for producing packaging or lids for canned food products, in the same way that it is intended for domestic use or industrial use related to providing restoration services.
- the object of the invention is to introduce a solution that enables food cans to be able to be closed, given that once this type of packaging is opened, it cannot be closed, which thus leads to the oxidisation or degradation of the characteristics of the food product, even if it is inside a refrigerator, just as it enables preventing accidental harm caused by unintentional cuts.
- Document ES1069073U is also known, intended for cans with a particularly cylindrical configuration and the content of which is a liquid, which discloses a complementary lid with an opening that can be opened and closed given that it is an element able to be articulated, and where said lid is coupled to the open face of the cylindrical can.
- Document ES1023228U is also notable, wherein a closing device for beverage cans is disclosed that can be coupled by means of a lever to the opening of said type of cylindrical cans.
- ES1048748U describes a closing lid for a can which, although preferably intended for cans with a cylindrical configuration, can be modified for any type of configuration. It consists of a lid that is coupled and clipped on the rims of the can, closes the entire open surface, and further comprises a tab or ring that enables it to be pulled in order to facilitate the opening of said lid.
- US2859786 discloses a plastic device that is a top cover that covers the entire surface of an open can or container, but is used in cans that doesn't have its lid because it has been removed previously, and wherein the top cover has a U-shape fixing along all the perimeter of the walls of the open can.
- the present invention has a series of advantages, such as preventing or reducing the oxidation or degradation of the product, which among other things creates a mixture of smells in the refrigerator; it is used to prevent accidental harm from unintentional cuts; it contributes to savings in the home as it also does with the environment when we avoid throwing away a number of cans because the food content thereof has gone bad too quickly since they were not properly closed; it prevents it from splashing when an open, poorly closed can is taken out, for example, a can of squid in black ink sauce where the lid comes off like a spring, coming up and splashing everything nearby.
- the present invention resolves the technical problem of ensuring the closing of a food can once opened without needing to clip or place a new lid on the open part of said food can, thereby ensuring that the product is conserved in optimal conditions for a longer amount of time and given the previously explained advantages.
- the device object of the invention is a part that clips on the point of the open circumference of the can, and which, by means of a fastening tab, enables the open lid of the can to be pressed so that it is in a closed position.
- the device is an element of a preferably plastic nature, which has a transverse cross section with an inverted U-shaped profile, where a ridge projects from one side and a fastening tab projects of the other side of each of the facing walls thereof.
- the ridge is useful in that it enables the user to be able to press it for correct clipping inside the perimeter rim of the can, and also enabling the removal thereof; while the fastening tab has the feature of pushing and ensuring the position of the lid of the can so that the assembly remains covered.
- the inverted U-shaped profile is comprised of two walls facing each other, an inner wall and an outer wall, joined by an upper edge. At least one surface slit is arranged in the outer wall, the function of which is to enable the action of clipping and removing the device to be more comfortable and safer, and so that the device does not interfere with the tab of the lid of the can.
- the two walls do not necessarily have to have the same height, in fact, the height of the outer wall can be, for example, greater than that of the inner wall.
- a ridge projects from the free end of the outer wall, preferably in a perpendicular plane, the ridge being a bent projection along all the entire rim thereof that is long enough so that a force can be exerted manually, like a lever, on the device.
- a fastening tab projects from the free end of the inner wall, which is also preferably in a perpendicular plane, which is a sheet which acts as a stop so that the lid of the can remains fastened on the lower surface thereof and thus requires the lid of the can to remain in a closed position.
- the surface of the fastening tab can comprise at least one notch that functions as a handle, which, at the same time that it continues to fasten the position of the lid of the food can, may have that additional feature.
- the device can adapt longitudinally to the circumference of the can; therefore, the device can be linearly straight for straight rims, or it can be curved for can configurations with curves, such that said curvature can have different diameters being adjusted to different types of food cans that exist in any grocery store in the world.
- the device is intended to be made from a plastic material, and preferably it is intended to be made from PVC, given that this material has the light flexibility needed for the actions of clipping and removing the device from the rim of the can; however, it also has enough rigidity for the lid of the can to be fastened in the required position. Nevertheless, this term is not limiting, and the device can be made from any other material that meets these two conditions.
- the device is intended for relatively small dimensions, due to the fact that the optimal closing of the lid of the open can requires a plurality of points where the device must be indicated along the circumference thereof.
- the optimal range of length of the device is between 10 and 100 mm, where the width of the fastening tab is between 7 and 15 mm, the width of the ridge between 2 and 7 mm, the width of the edge of the U-shaped profile between 1 and 5 mm, and the height of both walls of the U-shaped profile between 3 and 10 mm. Nevertheless, this term is not limiting, and any part of the device can have another dimension, as long as it meets the proportional relationship with the remaining parts of the device.
- the closing device (2) for an open food can is placed in the open circumference or rim (11) of the food can and where the can (1) still has the lid (12) thereof which has not been completely removed.
- This device (2) is made from plastic material, preferably PVC, and has a transverse cross section comprising a central inverted U-shaped profile (3) with an outer wall (31) facing an inner wall (32) and both remaining joined by an edge (33).
- the height of both walls does not need to be the same, and in fact, preferably, the height of the outer wall (31) is greater than that of the inner wall (31), both of them thus having different heights.
- the rim (11) remains fitted by being clipped in the inverted U-shaped profile (3).
- a ridge (4) projects from the free end of the outer wall (31), preferably in a perpendicular plane, which has the function of reinforcing as well as enabling the user to use leverage to clip or remove the device (2).
- a fastening tab (5) projects from the free end of the inner wall (32), which is a sheet with a preferably larger dimension than that of the ridge (4) and that fastens the lid (12) of the can (1). It can be seen that the inner face of the outer wall (31) has a surface slit (34) which enables the action of clipping or removing the device (2) to be more comfortable.
