Description

Boquilla fija para el consumo del contenido de latas de bebidasFixed nozzle for the consumption of the content of beverage cans

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a una boquilla aplicable a las clásicas latas de bebida que, aplicada de forma independiente o formando parte de la correspondiente abertura que se establece al abrir la lata, permite el consumo del contenido de forma cómoda para el consumidor.The present invention relates to a nozzle applicable to the classic beverage cans that, applied in a way independently or as part of the corresponding opening that is set when opening the can, allows the consumption of the content of Comfortable way for the consumer.

El objeto de la invención es proporcionar un medio que posibilita consumir el contenido líquido de una lata de bebida de forma mas fácil y cómoda por parte del consumidor y además evitar el derrame del líquido sobre el borde perimetral de la lata y el contacto de los labios.The object of the invention is to provide a means that makes it possible to consume the liquid content of a can of drink more easily and conveniently by the consumer and also avoid spilling the liquid on the perimeter edge of Can and lip contact.

Background of the invention

Como es sabido, las latas de bebidas incorporan un cierre en su base superior que se abre mediante traccionado de una lengüeta, dejando al descubierto una abertura a través de la cual se lleva a cabo el vaciado o consumo directo del contenido de la lata por parte del consumidor.As is known, beverage cans incorporate a closure in its upper base that is opened by traction of a tongue, exposing an opening through the which is carried out the emptying or direct consumption of the content of the can by the consumer.

Para permitir el consumo directo, e incluso para poder llevar a cabo el vaciado de forma mas eficaz, el cierre y por tanto la correspondiente boca tras la liberación del cierre, queda situada de forma excéntrica, es decir en proximidad al borde de la base superior de la lata, de manera que cuando se realiza un consumo directo por parte del consumidor, éste debe necesariamente apoyar sus labios en el borde de la lata, independientemente de que al estar realizada la abertura sobre una superficie plana, normalmente se producen pequeños derrames, goteos, etc., lo que por una parte es incómodo a la hora de llevar a cabo el consumo directo y por otra parte el usuario o consumidor puede ver manchada la ropa ante el goteo o derrame anteriormente comentado, todo ello independientemente de que al tocar con los labios parte de la superficie superior de la lata, así como el borde la misma, la falta de higiene es evidente, pudiendo afectar a la salud del consumidor, al entrar su boca o labios en contacto directo con posibles gérmenes que pudieran estar depositados en esa zona de la lata de bebida con la que el consumidor debe forzosamente contactar.To allow direct consumption, and even for to be able to carry out the emptying more effectively, the closing and by both the corresponding mouth after the release of the closure, remains located eccentrically, that is in proximity to the edge of the upper base of the can, so that when a direct consumption by the consumer, it must necessarily rest your lips on the edge of the can, regardless of when the opening is made on a flat surface, small spills, drips, etc. usually occur, which by one part is uncomfortable when carrying out direct consumption and on the other hand the user or consumer can see stained clothes before the drip or spill previously commented, all this regardless of touching part of the upper surface of the can, as well as the edge itself, the lack of hygiene is evident, being able to affect the health of the consumer, when entering your mouth or lips in direct contact with possible germs that could be deposited in that area of the can of drink with which the consumer must necessarily contact.

Description of the invention

La boquilla que se preconiza ha sido concebida para resolver la problemática anteriormente expuesta, en base a una solución sencilla pero de gran eficacia.The recommended mouthpiece has been conceived to solve the problem described above, based on a Simple solution but very effective.

Mas concretamente, la novedad de la invención consiste en aumentar la altura de la correspondiente boca o abertura de salida del líquido contenido en la lata de bebida, y con ello permitir al consumidor que sus labios contacten directamente con esa parte sobre-elevada o boquilla propiamente dicha, sin entrar en contacto con el borde de la lata ni con el resto de la superficie superior de ésta, permitiendo al consumidor efectuar el consumo o bebida del contenido de forma mas cómoda, con mayor facilidad y sin riesgo de goteos ni derrames.More specifically, the novelty of the invention consists in increasing the height of the corresponding mouth or liquid outlet opening contained in the beverage can, and thereby allowing the consumer to have their lips contact directly with that over-raised part or nozzle proper, without coming into contact with the edge of the can nor with the rest of the upper surface of it, allowing the consumer to consume or drink the content more comfortable, more easily and without risk of dripping or spillage.

En el caso que el fabricante de las latas realice éstas con una altura igual a la de la boquilla, sería aconsejable desplazar ésta mas hacia el interior respecto de dicho borde, y siempre la boquilla ligeramente separada de la aberturaIn the case that the manufacturer of the cans make these with a height equal to that of the nozzle, it would be it is advisable to move it further inwards with respect to said edge, and always the nozzle slightly separated from the opening

La boquilla o mayor altura de la boca de salida de la lata podrá formar parte integrante de ésta, siempre y cuando la mayor cota de la abertura no sobrepase el plano del reborde superior de la lata, al objeto de permitir el apilamiento con otras análogas, salvo que se halle una forma mejor de empaquetado.The nozzle or greater height of the outlet of the can can be an integral part of it, as long as the largest dimension of the opening does not exceed the plane of the flange top of the can, in order to allow stacking with other analogous, unless a better form of packaging is found.

En cualquier caso, la boquilla de la invención forma parte de la lata, permitiendo la apertura de ésta por traccionado de la correspondiente lengüeta, como es convencional, dejando después la abertura originada por la apertura en correspondencia con esa sobre-elevación a modo de cuello que define la boquilla propiamente dicha, como anteriormente se ha expuesto.In any case, the nozzle of the invention It is part of the can, allowing its opening by pulling the corresponding tab, as is conventional, then leaving the opening caused by the opening in correspondence with that over-elevation by way of neck that defines the mouthpiece itself, as before It has been exposed.

La boquilla presentará preferentemente un contorno abierto superior a la semicircunferencia, aunque también puede tener un contorno cerrado mediante una especie de tramo transversal que cierre el contorno semicircular citado en primer lugar. Opcionalmente se puede acoplar un tubo sobre la boquilla para alargar aún mas el conducto de salida, diseñado especialmente para tal fin, pudiendo en su base estar dividida, para que al ejercer una leve presión de ésta sobre la boquilla fija, quede aunada formando una continuidad de la boquilla, incorporada o por separado en la base de la lata.The nozzle will preferably have a open contour superior to the semicircle, but also it can have a closed contour through a kind of section transverse that closes the semicircular contour mentioned in the first place. Optionally a tube can be attached on the nozzle to further extend the outlet duct, specially designed for this purpose, being able to be divided at its base, so that at exert a slight pressure on the fixed nozzle, combined forming a continuity of the nozzle, incorporated or by separated at the base of the can.

Como se habrá podido comprobar, la boquilla de la invención constituye una solución al problema que presenta el consumo del contenido de una lata de bebida, puesto que evita el goteo y derrames, así como posibles infecciones por parte del consumidor al no tocar sus labios ni el borde de la lata ni la superficie superior de ésta, sino que únicamente tocará ese cuello o parte del mismo que forma la boquilla en torno a la embocadura abierta por el correspondiente traccionado de la lengüeta de apertura con que convencionalmente están dotadas las latas de bebidas, pudiendo llevar una cobertura de protección de forma opcional.As you can see, the nozzle of the invention constitutes a solution to the problem presented by the consumption of the contents of a can of drink, since it avoids drip and spillage, as well as possible infections by the consumer by not touching his lips or the edge of the can or the upper surface of it, but will only touch that neck or part of it that forms the mouthpiece around the mouth opened by the corresponding pull of the tongue of opening with which conventionally the cans of drinks, being able to carry a protective cover optional.
