Description

PACK MONODOSIS

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention, as indicated in the title, is

5 refers to a container that houses single-dose of a certain liquid, and more specifically, to the possibility of converting the typical and usual plastic straws that are used to drink soft drinks, combined, etc. In a container itself.

The object of this invention is to provide a solution up to

10 now unknown for several inconveniences that will be discussed later, mainly, it is intended to achieve a final result that allows to have a container that houses a certain liquid, or mixture of several of them, in small doses and that is easily transportable and very economical .

15 The package in question provides essential novelty characteristics and notable advantages over the means known and used for the same purposes in the current state of the art.

In sectors such as food, hospitality, and even in others such as in the pharmaceutical sector, there is often a need for a reduced means of transporting liquids. An example of this may be the typical free samples that are delivered as a test. Or simply drinks of any kind that, due to their specific characteristics, are interested in being delivered in reduced doses. Today known containers

25 in the state of the art are generally of a larger size than is required, and the small ones require exclusive manufacturing with custom molds. Until now there was no known solution that allowed to use a product as common as a plastic straw

to make it a perfectly suitable container to achieve this that is proposed. Thus, the package that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory manner the problem set forth above,

5 providing a series of advantageous and novel features, and without this reducing any of its benefits in other aspects.

The proposed invention aims to provide an economic, ecological, practical, simple and easy to use solution, whose

10 effect would be the use of a common and economical product that, by adding certain characteristics, allows to house and transport single-dose liquids. The present invention has its field of application in the sector of containers for liquid transport.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the state of the art we find some documents related to the invention in question, although none of them provide the same advantageous characteristics nor effectively solve

20 the existing drawbacks. Thus, in document ES 278 781 we find a sipping device, essentially characterized by the fact that it consists of a tube that has a float incorporated, located at a suitable height so that the upper end of the tube protrudes from the

25 outside the container containing the beverage, in which the device is submerged. On the other hand, the document ES 1 048 647 provides an improved package for the consumption of beverages, of the type constituted by a glass or container whose mouthpiece is

30 closes with the help of a lid as a bowl, provided

3

of a central die-cutter determining a hole for coupling in its core of a rod or straw that allows the metered consumption of the beverage by means of suction, characterized in that the base of said lid and / or the end sector of the

5 complementary cane or straw that emerges from the aforementioned lid in use, are provided with printed motifs based on fluorescent ink or similar, which allow an easy location of the container in the dark.

In turn, in document ES 1 074 566 a claim is claimed

10 device for obtaining juice directly from the fruit of the type with an elongated body that is inserted into the fruit, means for crushing the meat of the fruit, a stop and an upper nozzle characterized in that it comprises: A closed hollow filter by its lower part and finished in tip. A helical fin

15 outside. Means for fixing the nozzle an additional element. In each of these examples we see inventions related to straws or similar elements that serve to suck liquids, however, none of them have differentiating characteristics that allow to contain and transport

20 liquids Thus, we see that until now there was no known package that, due to its novel characteristics, resolves the aforementioned problems both in terms of the documents cited and other inventions or traditional packages that

25 we find in the state of the art. Taking into consideration the cases mentioned and analyzing the conjugate arguments, with the invention proposed in this document, a final result is produced in which significant differentiating aspects are brought against the

current state of the art, and where a series of advances are contributed

in the elements already known with their corresponding advantages. In particular: -Manufacturing does not require presses or

5 special die cutters since the invention is based on a product widely known as a straw.

-

It is a very economical product. -It is easy to obtain a single-dose container from 10 straws. -You can store and transport liquids in small doses very easily. -Supports a liquid or mixture of various types, such as juices, mixes, cocktails, etc. 15 -Its small size makes its distribution

Very comfortable and practical. -Its use is very simple. -Because of a single material it is very easy to

Recycle using the appropriate container.

20 -Although the liquid inside can be poured into a glass for consumption, the invention also allows the consumption to be made directly from the proposed package.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Thus, the present invention is constituted from the following elements:

A plastic straw or similar, which has both closed ends, housing one or different types of liquids inside, 30 and at least one of its ends is heat sealed in shape

5

of tongue or with stippling of incisions, so as to allow easy opening whether pouring the liquid contained in another container

or to suck directly from the straw. Alternatively, the straw has longitudinally some

5 printed measurement indications that allow the user to know the amount of liquid contained.

a preferred embodiment of the invention: Figure 1.-Perspective of the invention. In these figures the following elements stand out

numbered:

20 PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

A preferred embodiment of the proposed invention is constituted from the following elements: a conventional plastic straw (1), which has both closed ends (2), housing one or different types of liquids inside, and which at

25 minus one of its ends is heat-sealed in the form of a tongue or with dotted incisions, so as to allow easy opening whether pouring the liquid contained in another container

or to suck directly from the straw.
