Definitions
- the object of the present application is to register a protector for containers.
- the invention proposes the development of a protector for containers, intended to be coupled to cylindrical containers that include a rivet that protrudes in the upper portion of the very container, comprising an upper lid to cover the upper face of the container and a lower ring that can be coupled to the side wall of the container, such that the lower ring is able to rotate with respect to the container.
- protectors for containers for hygienic purposes which are essentially comprised of an upper lid that is articulated by means of a hinged region to a lower ring that can be coupled to the container, is well known in the state of the art, these protectors being especially suitable for can-type containers. Examples of this type of protectors are described in Spanish patents held by the same applicant no. ES 1071303 , ES 1072031 .
- the protectors described in the previous patents satisfactorily fulfil the hygienic purpose, the market has increasingly new needs, among which include the possibility of being able to place the protectors in alignment with respect to a mark or point of the container in order to improve the presence of the display of the containers when they are shown, for example, for retail sale, where the visual appearance of the assembly of the containers (the display of the product brand or logo, promotions) is a point of great interest for distribution companies.
- the protector for containers be able to be simply and easily redirected to the consumer, without implying constructive complexity of the protector.
- the present invention has been developed with the aim of providing a protector for containers that constitutes a novelty within the field of application, and solves the disadvantages mentioned above while also contributing other additional advantages, which will become evident from the description provided below.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a protector for containers, intended to be coupled to cylindrical containers that include a rivet that protrudes in the upper portion of the very container, comprising an upper lid to cover the upper face of the container and a lower ring that can be coupled to the side wall of the container, the upper lid and the lower ring being attached to each other in a hinged way.
- the invention is characterised by the fact that the lower ring includes in a point close to the upper flange thereof a plurality of locking tabs that are separated from each other, which protrude from an interior face of the lower ring in an upwards direction and along the entire perimeter of the lower ring, said locking tabs having an angle of inclination with respect to a vertical portion of the lower ring, said locking tabs being designed to hold the side wall of the container and abut under the rivet present in the upper part of the container, and wherein the upper lid includes at least a negative portion that protrudes from an interior face of a perimeter flange, which is fastened to the locking tabs in a closed state of the upper lid with respect to the lower ring.
- At least said negative portion that protrudes from the interior face of a perimeter flange is facing and in contact with the locking tabs in a closed state of the upper lid with respect to the lower ring.
- it comprises a plurality of negative portions that protrude from the interior face of a perimeter flange, which are facing and in contact with the locking tabs in a closed state of the upper lid with respect to the lower ring.
- the protector for containers comprises a plurality of negative portions that protrude from the interior face of a perimeter flange, which occupy the free space between the locking tabs in a closed state of the upper lid with respect to the lower ring.
- Said lower ring further includes a chamfered lower extension that facilitates the insertion of the lower ring in the container since it enables possible variations of centring between the protector and the container at the time of assembly to be absorbed.
- the outlet area of the container through which a beverage to be consumed, for example, exits facilitates the rotation of the assembly of the protector with respect to the container, which enables the "front position" of the protector to be aligned with respect to a specific point of the rest of the container. Furthermore, this structural configuration prevents the protector from being extracted from the container in an undesired way. Furthermore, the presence of the locking tabs reduces the deformation that the rest of the lower ring may undergo during the assembly of the protector in a corresponding container.
- each locking tab has in a lower region a depression with a material thickness, which enables a degree of flexibility thereof, which facilitates the placement of the protector in the container during an assembly operation, thereby optimising an assembly process, as well as facilitating the action of rotating the protector with respect to the container on which it is assembled.
- the lower ring has a plurality of partitions that protrude from the exterior face thereof, thereby providing a better holding surface of the protector for the user in order to facilitate the rotation thereof if required.
- a side wall of the upper lid has a plurality of partitions.
- the partitions present in the upper lid are complementary in shape and size with respect to the partitions present in the lower ring.
- the protector for containers intended to be coupled in cylindrical containers that include a rivet that protrudes in the upper part of the very container, comprising an upper lid (1) to cover the upper face of the container and a lower ring (2) that can be coupled to the side wall of the container (E), the upper lid (1) and the lower ring (2) being fastened together in a hinged way by a hinged section (3), both being made from a plastic material that can be moulded by injection.
- this protector has a dual function as a watertight seal and a sealing shutter thanks to the structural configuration of the protector shown in Figures 1 and 4 .
- the upper lid includes at least one negative portion (16) (first embodiment shown in Figure 1 ) that protrudes from an interior face of a perimeter flange (17), which is facing and in contact with a region of the locking tabs (4) and the rivet (10) of the container in a closed state of the upper lid (1) with respect to the lower ring (2).
- the embodiment shown in Figure 4 differs from that shown in Figure 1 in the arrangement of a plurality of negative portions (16) separated from each other and located along the length of the perimeter flange (17).
- the lower ring (2) includes in a point close to the upper flange thereof a plurality of locking tabs (4) that are separated from each other, which protrude from an interior face of the lower ring (2) in an upwards direction and along the entire perimeter of the lower ring (2), said locking tabs having an angle of inclination with respect to a vertical portion (5) of the lower ring, said locking tabs (4) being designed to hold the side wall of the container (E) and abut under the rivet (10) present in the upper part of the container (E).
- each locking tab (4) has in a lower region a depression (40) with a material thickness, as can be seen in more detail in Figure 3 .
- the lower ring (2) and the side wall of the upper lid (1) have a plurality of partitions (6, 7) that protrude from the respective exterior faces thereof.
- partitions (6) present in the upper lid (1) are complementary in shape and size with respect to the partitions (7) present in the lower ring (2).
- the protector includes a guarantee seal that is made up of a pair of protrusions (8) that protrude outwardly from the lower ring and are inserted in corresponding windows (14) in a state prior to a first use of the container.
- a guarantee seal that is made up of a pair of protrusions (8) that protrude outwardly from the lower ring and are inserted in corresponding windows (14) in a state prior to a first use of the container.
- said protrusions (8) will break a fragile region (9).
- it enables the user to know whether the container has been previously handled.
- the upper lid (1) preferably includes a housing (11) that is made up of a centred protruding portion, which defines a space for housing additional objects, such as an envelope or pouch that contains some food ingredient or cutlery or similar.
- the upper part of the housing has a flat surface (12), which facilitates the display of publications on said surface which can be easily read by the user.
- a tongue (13) is provided which is located in the front part of the upper lid (1), as shown in Figures 2 and 3 .
- the lower ring further includes a chamfered lower extension (15) intended to facilitate the insertion of the lower ring in the container.
- Figure 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention that differs from that shown in Figure 4 in that the upper lid includes a negative portion that overlaps with the locking tabs (4) present in the lower ring (2), small projections (18) that occupy the space existing between the locking tabs of the lower ring (2) protruding from the negative section of the upper lid (1) .
- Figure 6 shows the process of placing the protector in a can-type container, which is carried out by exerting pressure on the upper lid, the upper lid being that which pushes the lower ring until it reaches the joint clipping position under the rivet present in the container.
- the previously mentioned locking tabs of the lower ring have a section with a depression with a thickness, thereby producing a specific bending/rotation point that makes it possible that, during the assembly process in which the locking tabs collide against the rivet of the container, said locking tabs (4) open vertically and enable the lower ring to enter until the locking tabs are housed under the rivet of the container.
