En cualquiera de los casos, es decir tanto si el contenido se vacía en un vaso como si se consume directamente, el polvo y suciedad que se deposita en la parte superior de la lata en un caso será arrastrado cuando se deposite el contenido en un vaso, y en otro caso entrará en contacto con la boca del consumidor, con los consiguientes problemas, falta de higiene, etc.In either case, that is, whether the content is emptied into a glass as if consumed directly, the dust and dirt that is deposited on top of the can in a case will be dragged when the content is deposited in a glass, and in another case it will come into contact with the consumer's mouth, with the consequent problems, lack of hygiene, etc.

Description of the invention

El protector que se preconiza ha sido concebido para resolver la problemática anteriormente expuesta, basándose en una pieza acoplable sobre la parte superior de la lata, para que una vez realizada la apertura de ésta y acoplado ese protector, se pueda llevar a cabo el consumo del contenido sin necesidad de que el consumidor entre en contacto con la suciedad o polvo depositado en esa parte superior de la lata.The protector that is recommended has been conceived to solve the problem described above, based on an attachable piece on the top of the can, so that Once the opening of this one is done and that protector is attached, can carry out content consumption without the need for the consumer comes into contact with the dirt or dust deposited on that top of the can.

Más concretamente, el protector de la invención está constituido por una pieza circular, a modo de cazoleta invertida, que como se decía es acoplable sobre el borde superior de la lata, y cuya pieza presenta por un lado un sector abierto con rejilla, que es practicable y se cierra mediante una tapeta articulada sobre la zona intermedia y superior del propio cuerpo del protector, mientras que posteriormente cuenta con una ranura en la cual es susceptible de introducirse la parte de lengüeta que va a llevar a cabo la apertura de la lata, mediante accionamiento por palanca de esa lengüeta con el protector, por introducción, como se decía, de la lengüeta en la ranura posterior de dicho cuerpo.More specifically, the protector of the invention It consists of a circular piece, as a bowl inverted, which as stated is attachable on the upper edge of the can, and whose piece presents on the one hand an open sector with grid, which is practicable and closes with a placket articulated on the intermediate and upper part of the body itself of the protector, while later it has a slot in which is capable of introducing the tongue part that goes to carry out the opening of the can, by actuation by lever of that tongue with the protector, by introduction, as he said, of the tongue in the back groove of that body.

Dicho protector presenta la tapeta con facultad de ser basculada hacia atrás y dejar libre el sector con rejilla permitiendo el consumo del contenido una vez abierta la lata y acoplado lógicamente el protector sobre la parte superior de ésta, contando para ello en correspondencia con el borde anterior que define ese sector con rejilla, con una prolongación levemente cóncava a modo de pico vertedor para adaptarse anatómicamente a los labios del consumidor y permitir el consumo del contenido, mientras que la tapeta puede cerrar ese sector y mantenerlo cerrado, evitando incluso que la lata pueda coger suciedad en caso que el protector vaya acoplado directamente sobre ella, en cuyo caso es necesario en el momento de realizar el consumo, desacoplar el protector, abrir la lata y volverlo acoplar para efectuar o bien el transvase a un vaso o bien el consumo directo a través de ese protector.Said protector presents the placket with power of being tilted back and leaving the grid free allowing the consumption of the content once the can is opened and logically coupled the protector on top of it, counting for it in correspondence with the leading edge that define that sector with grid, with a slightly prolongation concave as a spout to adapt anatomically to the consumer lips and allow content consumption while that the placket can close that sector and keep it closed, even preventing the can from picking up dirt in case the protector is coupled directly on it, in which case it is necessary at the time of consumption, undock the protector, open the can and attach it again to make the transfer to a glass or direct consumption through that protective.
