Package of several liquids.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to a container of various liquids. It presents characteristic advantages of novelty, which will be described in detail below, which are an alternative in the current state of the art.

The object of the present invention lies in a container of two liquids that remain unmixed during transport and any handling, but which are mixed when the user wishes, generally just before use.

FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

The field of application of the present invention is framed in the sector of the packaging and the commercialization of liquids in pairs, so that the mixture does not occur until the moment of use. One of the main uses is certainly in the field of drinks.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that the presence of packages with two non-communicated cavities is known in the state of the art, such as those shown in US3349987A or US6499614B1. This type of packaging does not allow the mixing of both liquids but must be consumed at different times or served in another container to be able to mix them.

Also known are containers called "cans", consisting of a container

metal of approximately cylindrical shape, and with a closure comprising an area of weakness that can be easily broken.

The objective of the present invention is, in short, to develop a package that allows the timing of the mixing of several liquids to be controlled, and it should be noted that, at least by the applicant, the existence of any other device or package that has technical characteristics is unknown. or structural same or similar to those presented by the one now proposed and as claimed.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The two liquid container of the invention is thus configured as a novelty within its field of application, the distinguishing details being conveniently set forth in the final claims that accompany this specification.

This package allows keeping two separate liquids until mixed, or changing the combination by replacing the second compartment. For example, it allows to prepare combined with the separated ingredients until the last moment.

The multi-liquid container is formed by a first rigid container with a closure and one or more cavities to insert at least a second container, also rigid. Each container has at least one frangible zone with a projection inside. On the edge of each frangible zone is located a pestana, smaller than the projection.

The first frangible zones, that is, those of the first container, are disposed within the cavity, so that in the position of use the frangible zones of both containers are located facing each other and with the protrusions and interleaved flanges. Due to the position of the eyelashes, on the edge of the respective frangible zone, they must be at the ends.

In a series of preferred variants, guide elements are arranged on the side of the second compartment and the cavity that allow the introduction only in the proper orientation to align the frangible areas.

Examples of guiding elements are a groove that collaborates with a straight rib, or a protruding button that can slide through a groove shaped like a groove, in order to make a bayonet closure.

It should be considered that the number of guiding elements can be variable.

In a preferred embodiment, at least a second compartment has an internal partition, with at least a second frangible zone associated with each part.

Preferably the second compartment or cavity will have a tight seal, closing its perfometer, to ensure that the liquid does not protrude. A second option is a narrowing or a step that ensures by pressure that the liquid cannot escape.

It should also be noted that preferably the package has at least a small perforation for the escape of air and gases that facilitates the exit of the liquid.

The described package consists of an innovative invention of characteristics unknown until now for the purpose it is intended, reasons that, together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, this descriptive report is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, a set of drawings in which with an illustrative and non-limiting the following has been represented:

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The two-liquid container shown in the example of Figures 1 to 4 comprises two containers (1,2) nested, of the "can" type, which in storage position are airtight.The first container (1) is larger in size than the second container (2), so that this second container (2) can be introduced, at least partially, into a cavity (11) of the first container.

The first container (1) has a closure that serves to empty both containers (1,2) at the same time. To do this, it must be possible to communicate the inside of both containers (1,2) in order to exchange their contents.

For this, a base (21) of the second container (2) has at least a second frangible zone (22) with a projection (23) inside and a flange (24) on one edge. As shown, the second frangible zone (22) can be rectangular, with the flange (24) on a smaller side. This is visible in Fig. 3.

For its part, the first container (1) has a first frangible zone (12) coinciding with each second frangible zone (22) of the second container (2), inside the cavity (11). That is, the first frangible zone (12), in use, is aligned with the position of the second frangible zone (22) of the second container (2) when it is inserted in the cavity (11).

The first frangible zone (12) of the first container (1) also has a projection (13) and a flange (14). Both projections (13, 23) are identical and both tabs (14, 24) are also identical. However, it is essential that the projections (13, 23) and the eyelashes (14, 24) are interspersed with the eyelashes (14, 24) at the ends, as seen in Figure 4 and discussed below.

To prepare the mixture of both liquids, the user finishes inserting the second container (2) into the cavity (11), so that the projections (13, 23) push the first frangible zone (12) and the second frangible zone (22) producing their joint breakage and mixing of the contents. If one of the containers (1, 2) contains liquid under pressure, the mixing will be faster.

The tabs (14, 24) ensure that both frangible areas are completely broken (12, 22). For this, the projection (13, 23) of each side must be located between the flange (14, 24) and the projection (13, 23) of the opposite, and also the flange (14, 24) must have a somewhat lower height to the outgoing (13, 23).

The shape of the second container (2) will be appropriate to the shape of the cavity (11) so that it does not space over the edge through which the liquid can escape. Preferably, the cavity (11) has a first lateral guide element (15) to facilitate the introduction of the second container (2) in the correct position by means of a second guide element (25).

In figure 1 the first gufa element (15) is seen as a straight rib at the edge of the cavity (11), which corresponds to a second gufa element (25)

formed by a groove on the side of the second container (2). Other shapes are possible, such as making complementary grooves in the cavity (11) and the second container (2).

5 A solution not shown is to make a protruding button on the side of the second container (2) and a groove in the cavity-shaped cavity (11), so that the joint is fixed by bayonet and the liquid pressure is not You can remove the second container (2) from the cavity (11).

In general, any type of first guide element (15) is interchangeable with any type of second guide element (25).

In the figures two frangible zones (22) and two frangible areas (12) have been represented, but the number can vary, mainly according to the size of the containers (1,2).

It should also be considered that this invention is applicable to a container with another number of containers (1,2), or with a second container (2) comprising an internal partition, so that each part has its own second frangible zone (22 ).

20 To ensure the tightness of the perfometer, or the second container (2) or the cavity (11) may have a seal (16).

Describing sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to extend its explanation in order to

25 that any expert in the field understands its scope and the advantages that derive from it, stating that, within its essentiality, it may be implemented in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example , and which will also achieve the protection that is sought as long as it does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle.
