De manera concreta, lo que la invención propone, como ya se ha apuntado anteriormente, es un nuevo tipo de tapón para envases cuya configuración estructural está especialmente diseñada para proporcionar, al mismo tiempo que el cierre de la embocadura del envase al Specifically, what the invention proposes, as already noted above, is a new type of cap for containers whose structural configuration is specially designed to provide, at the same time as the closure of the mouth of the container to the

5 que se acopla, impidiendo la salida del producto que contiene, ya sea líquido o sólido, un receptáculo hermético para contener un segundo producto o producto adicional, que también puede ser líquido o sólido, permitiendo que pueda ser incorporado al contenido del envase, y por tanto mezclarse con el primer producto cuando el consumidor desee, normalmente justo antes del momento de su consumo. 5 which is coupled, preventing the leakage of the product containing, either liquid or solid, an airtight receptacle to contain a second product or additional product, which can also be liquid or solid, allowing it to be incorporated into the contents of the package, and therefore mix with the first product when the consumer wishes, usually just before the time of consumption.

10 Para ello el tapón preconizado presenta, interiormente, preferentemente en su eje central vertical, con un receptáculo en el que se aloja una cápsula contenedora del producto adicional, la cual presenta una base inferior abierta y terminada en punta, de tal modo que resulta apta para perforar la base inferior de dicho receptáculo y que está constituida por 10 To this end, the recommended cap has, internally, preferably in its vertical central axis, with a receptacle in which a capsule containing the additional product is housed, which has a bottom base open and terminated at the end, so that it is suitable to pierce the lower base of said receptacle and which is constituted by

15 una membrana termo sallada. De este modo, mediante el presionado de la cápsula, se perfora la membrana y el contenido de la cápsula cae por gravedad en el interior del envase. 15 a thermo salted membrane. In this way, by pressing the capsule, the membrane is perforated and the contents of the capsule fall by gravity inside the package.

Esta membrana termosellada tiene una guía de rotura que abarca solamente tres cuartas partes de su perímetro de circunferencia, de modo que al romper, siempre queda sujeta 20 impidiendo que pueda caer al interior del envase junto con el contenido de la cápsula. This heat-sealed membrane has a breakage guide that covers only three quarters of its circumference perimeter, so that when broken, it is always held 20 preventing it from falling inside the container together with the contents of the capsule.

Es importante señalar que, para asegurar la fijación de la cápsula en el receptáculo, se han previsto unos medios de retención que, preferentemente, consisten en un ranurado o cinturón de relieve cóncavo en la pared interior del receptáculo que son complementarios It is important to note that, in order to ensure the fixation of the capsule in the receptacle, retention means are provided which, preferably, consist of a groove or concave relief belt in the interior wall of the receptacle which are complementary

25 con otro ranurado o cinturón de relieve convexo en la pared exterior de la cápsula, actuando así como freno de seguridad. 25 with another grooved or convex relief belt on the outer wall of the capsule, thus acting as a safety brake.

Asimismo, la capsula presenta, preferentemente, una cabeza superior más ancha que el resto de la misma, en orden a proporcionar una base de superficie amplia y plana para el 30 presionado de la misma. Likewise, the capsule preferably has an upper head wider than the rest thereof, in order to provide a wide and flat surface base for pressing it.

El descrito tapón contenedor representa, pues, una innovación de características estructurales y constitutivas desconocidas hasta ahora, razones que unidas a su utilidad práctica, la dotan de fundamento suficiente para obtener el privilegio de exclusividad que se The described container cap thus represents an innovation of structural and constitutive characteristics unknown until now, reasons that, together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is
