Description

Recipiente para bebidas.Beverage container.

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un recipiente para bebidas del tipo de los que comprenden un cuerpo tubular metálico cerrado por su extremo inferior y que presenta en su extremo superior una tapa fija provista de unos medios de fácil apertura, conformando dicho recipiente lo que coloquialmente se conoce como lata de bebidas.The present invention relates to a container for drinks of the type that comprise a tubular body metallic closed by its lower end and that presents in its upper end a fixed cover provided with easy means opening, said container forming what colloquially is known as beverage can.

Este recipiente presenta la particularidad de incorporar en los extremos opuestos unos medios para su unión con un recipiente análogo y la conformación de un conjunto con dos compartimentos separados de una capacidad total similar a una lata de bebida convencional y de forma que el contenido de los dos recipientes asociados pueda tomarse en una sola consumición o de forma independiente manteniéndose intacta las propiedades de la bebida contenida en el recipiente que no se ha consumido.This vessel has the peculiarity of incorporate at the opposite ends some means for their union with a analog container and the conformation of a set with two separate compartments of a total capacity similar to a can of conventional drink and so that the content of the two associated containers can be taken in a single consumption or from independently keeping intact the properties of the drink contained in the container that has not been consumed.

Field of application of the invention

Esta invención es aplicable en el campo dedicado a la fabricación de recipientes para bebidas.This invention is applicable in the dedicated field to the manufacture of beverage containers.

Background of the invention

Actualmente son ampliamente conocidos en el mercado los recipientes o latas de bebida que presentan un cuerpo tubular metálico cerrado por su base y que presenta en su extremo superior una tapa fija de cierre provista de unos medios de fácil apertura delimitando en su interior un receptáculo destinado a contener la bebida. Estos recipientes tienen generalmente una capacidad de 33 centilitros, siendo frecuente que una vez abierto el recipiente el usuario realice la consumición de una parte de la bebida contenida en el mismo realizándose en un tiempo relativamente corto el deterioro de la bebida restante especialmente cuando esta se trata de bebidas gasificadas.They are currently widely known in the market the containers or cans of drink that have a body metallic tubular closed by its base and presenting at its end upper a fixed closing cover provided with easy means opening delimiting inside a receptacle intended for Contain the drink These containers generally have a 33 centiliters capacity, being frequent that once opened the container the user consumes a part of the drink contained therein in a relatively time short the deterioration of the remaining drink especially when this These are carbonated drinks.

Una solución evidente para solventar este problema seria la fabricación de recipientes de una capacidad menor sin embargo esta solución no resulta adecuada para el fabricante ya que supone la fabricación y mantenimiento en stock de dos recipientes de iguales características y diferentes dimensiones, lo que sin duda complica las labores de logística y distribución del producto.An obvious solution to solve this problem would be the manufacture of containers of a smaller capacity however, this solution is not suitable for the manufacturer since which involves the manufacture and maintenance in stock of two containers of the same characteristics and different dimensions, what which undoubtedly complicates the logistics and distribution of the product.

Otras soluciones propuestas en diferentes publicaciones de antecedentes registrales, tales como las de los modelos de utilidad españoles ES1019030U, ES1035562U, ES1040118U, ES1051674U, ES1056774U, ES1064140U, ES 1066104U, o la de la patente de invención ES2258707T3, consiste en incluir en un recipiente o lata de bebida convencional un tabique longitudinal o transversal que divide el espacio interior en dos cavidades independientes destinadas a contener bebida y provistas de respectivos medios de fácil apertura. Esta solución resulta prácticamente inviable debido al encarecimiento que supone respecto al coste de los recipientes convencionales.Other solutions proposed in different registry background publications, such as those of Spanish utility models ES1019030U, ES1035562U, ES1040118U, ES1051674U, ES1056774U, ES1064140U, ES 1066104U, or the patent of invention ES2258707T3, consists of including in a container or conventional beverage can a longitudinal or transverse partition that divides the interior space into two independent cavities intended to contain beverage and provided with respective means of easy opening This solution is virtually unfeasible because to the increased cost of the containers conventional.

Description of the invention

Para solventar la problemática expuesta se ha ideado el recipiente para bebidas de esta invención que es del tipo de los mencionados anteriormente, es decir, que comprende un cuerpo tubular metálico, preferentemente de aluminio, cerrado por su extremo inferior y que presenta en su extremo superior una tapa fija provista de unos medios de fácil apertura; presentando este recipiente la particularidad de comprender en los extremos opuestos sendos cuellos tubulares provistos de unas porciones roscadas complementarias, macho y hembra respectivamente, para su acoplamiento con otro recipiente análogo.To solve the exposed problem has been devised the beverage container of this invention which is of the type of those mentioned above, that is, comprising a body metallic tubular, preferably aluminum, closed by its lower end and which has a fixed cover on its upper end provided with easy opening means; presenting this container the peculiarity of understanding at opposite ends two tubular necks provided with threaded portions complementary, male and female respectively, for their coupling with another analog vessel.

Estas porciones roscadas permiten el acoplamiento del recipiente con otro análogo, conformando un conjunto con dos cavidades separadas destinadas a contener bebidas iguales o diferentes, permitiendo la consumición de la bebida contenida en un único recipiente de forma individual, o en los dos recipientes cuando se deseé consumir una mayor cantidad de bebida.These threaded portions allow coupling of the container with another analog, forming a set with two separate cavities intended to contain drinks same or different, allowing the consumption of the drink contained in a single container individually, or in both containers when you want to consume a greater amount of drink.

Otra característica de la invención es que el mencionado recipiente comprende una banda anular de material elástico para la cubrición de los cuellos extremos destinados a acoplarse a rosca con otro recipiente análogo, presentando dicha banda anular en su superficie exterior unos motivos impresos o en relieve.Another feature of the invention is that the said container comprises an annular band of material elastic for covering the extreme necks intended for screw thread with another similar container, presenting said annular band on its outer surface some printed motifs or in relief.

Esta banda anular de material elástico tiene la finalidad de ocultar la zona de unión de dos recipientes análogos, permitiendo adicionalmente su utilización como pulsera publicitaria o decorativa.This elastic band annular band has the purpose of hiding the junction zone of two similar vessels, additionally allowing its use as an advertising bracelet or decorative
