Description

Safety cap for product packaging granules

This utility model refers to a safety plug with features suitable for use concrete in containers intended to contain granulated products and which presents, perfectly visible, an element of seal that guarantees the inviolability of the mentioned cap, and with it that the product there content has not been manipulated, describing to below the essential characteristics of the object of this invention.

There are numerous types of packages that are currently employed to contain granulated products, both food products such as pharmaceuticals, among the most frequent, and of diverse granulometry.

Among them stand out the containers provided with a stopper that allows to extract a certain amount of the granulate without removing it and lifting only a dosing cap arranged to seal the exit holes of said granulated product Container content

This cover will close with full security to prevent the content from accidentally spilling, being essential feature of that type of plug the fact that, before if used for the first time, keep the lid completely sealed dispenser ensuring that the contents inside the container It has not been manipulated or altered.

The safety cap object of the present The invention has the particular characteristics detailed above, having a dosing cap that remains perfectly sealed before it is first open, being conceived said cover so that, after use and having removed the desired amount of granulate is closed again, blocking the exit holes and avoiding accidental spillage of the product.

It is also an essential feature of this invention, the fact that the cover mentioned above, is provided with a seal which, when its opening is carried out for the first time, will be removed when the guarantee seal of said seal is removed.
top.

All this also allows observation immediate status of the seal and the assembly of the cover, located on the upper face of the safety cap object of this invention: if the seal is in place it is a signal that the dosing lid has not yet been opened, and if not This is a sign that it has already been opened.

In order to describe in detail the characteristics of the safety cap object of this invention, is attached some drawings in which, as a practical example not limitation of realization, the object that is describe.

In these drawings,

Fig. 1 is a partial plan view of the cap of the invention, with the dosing cap without having been open and with the seal located in its unaltered position of safety lock;

Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of the own cap, showing the area where the lid is located dispenser and seal; Y

Fig. 3 finally is a side view and partial cap, and conveniently sectioned to show the arrangement of its components, with the dosing cap raised.

According to these drawings, the plug of security for packaging of granulated products, object of the present invention, consists of a cylindrical body (1) that constitutes the cap itself and that properly closes the container mouth (2), schematically drawn on its part upper initial, as an explanatory reference, in fig. 3.

This plug has a cylindrical side face (3), on which some reliefs of semicircular section stand out (3a), which allow snap fit against the face upper inside of the container (2), thus ensuring amobility of the cap and, consequently, the closure of the container. The edge lower side of this side face (3) of the cap (1) has a truncated conical surface (3b) to facilitate its fit in the container mouth (2). The upper part of the cap (1) has a horizontal flat step (4a), which rests on the edge of the  mouth of the container (2), and above it, the surface of the plug is conical trunk (4), until it ends on the upper face horizontal plane (5) of the body (1).

On this upper face (5), and next to its edge, the dosing cover (6), with side edges, is located preferably parallel and with its trailing edge (6a) joined in continuity to the upper face itself (5) of the body (1) of the cap, constituting the turning line, as a hinge, which allows the elevation or opening and the folding or closing of said lid dispenser (6).

Under the aforementioned dosing cap (6), find the exit holes (7) of the granulate contained in the container, which are located in a surface area flat and horizontal (8) of the upper face (5) of the body (1) coincident in its entirety, in size and shape, with the mentioned dosing cap (6). This flat area (8) is located slightly sunken with respect to the upper face (5), just a height corresponding to the thickness of the lid (6), so that when said lid is folded or closed, its upper face will be located in continuity with said upper face (5) of the body (1).

The exit of the granulate through the holes (7) is possible only when the dosing cap (6) is raised or open Otherwise, the reliefs (9) that said cover (6) it has on its lower face and that coincide entirely with the exit holes (7), fit inside the themselves, guaranteeing their blocking and therefore avoiding any accidental spillage of the granulate contained in the container.

The front edge (6b) of the dosing cap (6) is curved contour, coinciding with the curvature itself plug, protruding slightly in front of the side wall of the body (1), which in that area, coinciding with the lid dosing (6), presents a vertical section (10), from the upper surface of the area (8) to the flat step (4a) located under the lateral truncated conical face (4) of the body (1), forming on that coincidence line a flange (11), flat and horizontal.

On one side of the dosing cap (6) the seal (12) constituted by a tongue is located joined by one of its two sides with the side of the lid (6) and on the other side with the matching edge (13) of the face upper (5) of the body (1), being these unions of the two sides made by means of die cut lines.

The tongue that constitutes the seal (12) is extends forward, protruding from the contour of the cap and constituting a flange (12a) that facilitates the grip to pull of the seal (12) at the moment in which it is desired to remove it for allow to open the lid (6).

This start action of the seal is facilitated by the special arrangement of the die cut lines of both sides and tongue hinge, as indicated previously.

Once the seal (12) has been torn off, it It is completely separated from the cap and discarded hollow or empty space you have left, will be perfectly visible, as a warning signal that said seal has been removed and, Therefore, it has been possible to access the inside of the package through of the dosing cap (6).

I must indicate that, given the special characteristics of the different granulated products that can contain the closed containers with the cap object of this invention, the exit holes (7) will have shape and dimensions diverse, as well as its number will be different, being totally matching always, in dimensions, quantity and shapes, with the reliefs (9) located on the underside of the cover (6), reliefs that will fit, as already said, with the holes (7), getting them

Described sufficiently the object of the present invention, it should be noted that any variation in forms, dimensions, type of material and exterior appearance and finish in the moment of its practical realization, they will not alter the essentiality of the object, being summarized in the claims following.
