En concreto, esta innovation se refiere a un accesorio que permite extraer de una forma rapida y simple los alimentos contenidos en el recipiente y que se encuentran sumergidos en un liquido que los conserva, dejando dicho liquido en el interior del recipiente.In particular, this innovation refers to an accessory that allows to extract in a fast and simple way the foods contained in the container and that are submerged in a liquid that preserves them, leaving said liquid inside the container.

Sector de la tecnicaSector of the technique

Esta invencion se ajusta en el sector que hace referencia a tecnicas industriales aplicadas a recipientes para el almacenamiento, por ejemplo latas, botes, tarros y accesorios para los mismos.This invention is adjusted in the sector that refers to industrial techniques applied to storage containers, for example cans, jars, jars and accessories for them.

Antecedentes de la invencion y estado de la tecnicaBackground of the invention and state of the art

Son muchos los alimentos que por necesidades de conservation se comercializan sumergidos en liquido. Es el caso, por ejemplo, de aceitunas, pepinillos, cebolletas, ajos y otros encurtidos que suelen presentarse en tarros de cristal de diferentes tamanos y capacidad. Otros alimentos, como esparragos, alcachofas, maiz o pimiento rojo tambien se comercializan enteros o troceados en envases de otros materiales, por ejemplo latas metalicas. En cualquier caso, este tipo de alimentos forman parte la despensa de muchas cocinas y aunque son envases con diferentes sistemas de apertura, el problema al que se enfrenta el consumidor es siempre el mismo: extraer solo el alimento, dejando el liquido en el envase. En la practica suele recurrirse a utiles como cucharas o similares para recoger una cierta cantidad de piezas y sacarlas de su envase pero aun asi es inevitable que se vierta liquido. Otro sistema de extraction es verter todo el contenido del recipiente en un colador, con lo cual se consigue tener los alimentos escurridos pero esta option es solo valida cuando se consume todo el contenido del envase puesto que el Kquido de conservation se pierde a no ser que se recoja en un segundo envase, lo que suele ser una manipulation engorrosa para el consumidor.There are many foods that, due to conservation needs, are sold submerged in liquid. This is the case, for example, of olives, pickles, chives, garlic and other pickles that are usually presented in glass jars of different sizes and capacity. Other foods, such as asparagus, artichokes, corn or red pepper are also sold whole or cut into containers of other materials, for example metal cans. In any case, this type of food is part of the pantry of many kitchens and although they are containers with different opening systems, the problem faced by the consumer is always the same: extract only the food, leaving the liquid in the container. In practice it is common to use tools such as spoons or similar to collect a certain amount of pieces and remove them from their packaging but even so it is inevitable that liquid is poured. Another extraction system is to pour all the contents of the container into a colander, which means that the drained food is obtained, but this option is only It validates when all the contents of the container are consumed since the storage liquid is lost unless it is collected in a second container, which is usually a cumbersome manipulation for the consumer.

A nivel de propiedad industrial existen algunas patentes que desarrollan soluciones tecnicas para los tarros de encurtidos, como el modelo de utilidad ES0165348 U, que se refiere a un “presionador de productos conservados en sustancias liquidas” y que “comprende una almohadilla constituida por dos rejillas paralelas, vinculadas por medio de nervios laterales flexibles, determinando un cuerpo prismatico o ciHndrico de altura variable, dimensionado adecuadamente para que pueda ser alojado por la embocadura de un envase en forma de tarro, una vez lleno del producto a contener, anadiendole la salmuera o Hquido de encurtido hasta un nivel deseado, de forma que una vez cerrado, la tapa ejerza una ligera presion, sobre la almohadilla, que es transmitida contra el producto contenido inmovilizandole y manteniendole permanentemente cubierto por el Hquido de encurtido.”. Por su parte, el expediente ES1149063Y presenta un “envase con escurridor inferior integrado del tipo de los que comprenden un cuerpo que alberga en su interior un alimento conservado en un Hquido, y que sera accesible mediante una primera tapa”, en el cual se anade “en su parte inferior se situa una capa agujereada integrada en el propio cuerpo, que es empleada como escurridor del Hquido albergado en el cuerpo y donde dicha capa es accesible mediante una segunda tapa”. At the level of industrial property there are some patents that develop technical solutions for pickle jars, such as the utility model ES0165348 U, which refers to a "pressurizer of products preserved in liquid substances" and that "comprises a pad constituted by two grids parallel, linked by means of flexible lateral nerves, determining a prismatic or cylindrical body of variable height, suitably sized so that it can be housed by the mouth of a container in the form of a jar, once filled with the product to be contained, adding the brine or Pickling liquid to a desired level, so that once closed, the lid exerts a slight pressure on the pad, which is transmitted against the contained product immobilizing and keeping it permanently covered by the pickling liquid. ". For its part, the file ES1149063Y presents a "container with integrated lower drainer of the type comprising a body that houses inside a food preserved in a liquid, and which will be accessible through a first lid", in which it is added "In its lower part there is a perforated layer integrated into the body itself, which is used as a drainer of the liquid housed in the body and where said layer is accessible through a second lid".

Las soluciones tecnicas referenciadas pueden parecer a priori funcionales, pero en la practica tienen serios inconvenientes puesto que dificilmente consiguen una extraction facil y limpia de los alimentos y el goteo del liquido es inevitable.The referenced technical solutions may seem a priori functional, but in practice they have serious drawbacks since they hardly get an easy and clean extraction of the food and the dripping of the liquid is inevitable.

El solicitante entiende que deberia existir un accesorio que permitiera facilmente extraer del recipiente u envase encurtidos del tipo aceitunas, pepinillos y otros alimentos ya escurridos del liquido en el que se conservan, manteniendo dicho liquido en el interior del recipiente.The applicant understands that there should be an accessory that would easily remove from the container or container pickles of the type olives, pickles and other foods already drained of the liquid in which they are kept, keeping said liquid inside the container.

Description de la inventionDescription of the invention

La invencion que se presenta en este modelo de utilidad tiene por objeto un accesorio para recipientes de alimentos en conserva que permite extraer el alimento facilmente y dejar el liquido en el interior del recipiente. The invention presented in this utility model has as an object an accessory for canned food containers that allows to easily extract the food and leave the liquid inside the container.

El accesorio que se reivindica es una pieza de material plastico, ductil, conformada a modo de pinza con dos modulos concavos semicirculares a modo de valvas con una base con una pluralidad de orificios y un tramo recto prolongado en una pestana saliente, estando ambos modulos concavos o valvas vinculados por una bisagra.The claimed accessory is a piece of plastic material, ductile, shaped like a clamp with two semicircular concave modules as a leaflet with a base with a plurality of holes and a prolonged straight section in a protruding tab, both concave modules being or valves linked by a hinge.

La pinza descrita se coloca en el interior del recipiente en su posicion natural expandida, con cada modulo concavo semicircular o valva presionando las paredes interiores del recipiente. Obviamente, las dimensiones de la pinza se corresponden con la cavidad interior del recipiente, siendo su ancho ligeramente superior para que al expandirse, la presion que ejerce hacia la las paredes del recipiente sea efectiva.The clamp described is placed inside the container in its expanded natural position, with each semicircular concave module or valve pressing the inner walls of the container. Obviously, the dimensions of the clamp correspond to the interior cavity of the container, its width being slightly higher so that when expanded, the pressure exerted towards the walls of the container is effective.

Cuando el usuario presiona con los dedos las pestanas de ambos modulos concavos o valvas, aproximandolos, estos se alejan de las paredes interiores del recipiente y la pinza responde al arrastre que hace el usuario, asomando y saliendo por la boca del recipiente, separandose los modulos concavos o valvas, las cuales quedan apoyadas en el borde del recipiente gracias a unas depresiones o muescas presentes en la superficie exterior de sus laterales.When the user presses with the fingers the tabs of both concave modules or valves, approaching them, these move away from the inner walls of the container and the clamp responds to the drag that the user makes, protruding and exiting through the mouth of the container, separating the modules concaves or valves, which are supported on the edge of the container thanks to depressions or notches present in the outer surface of their sides.

Obviamente, la tendencia natural de la pinza es separar sus modulos o valvas respondiendo su naturaleza ductil, facilitada por la bisagra que las vincula. Cuando esta dentro del recipiente, es el recipiente quien la retiene en posicion cerrada y al salir, explosiona de forma inmediata.Obviously, the natural tendency of the clamp is to separate its modules or shells responding its ductile nature, facilitated by the hinge that links them. When it is inside the container, it is the container that holds it in a closed position and when it leaves, it explodes immediately.

En estas figuras se detalla de forma explicita el accesorio para recipientes de alimentos en conserva, por ejemplo encurtidos, que se conservan sumergidos en liquido, el modo en que se posiciona dentro del recipiente, en este caso ejemplificado como un tarro, y el modo en que se comporta para facilitar la extraccion de los alimentos escurridos, dejando el liquido dentro del susodicho tarro.In these figures the accessory for canned food containers, for example pickles, which are kept submerged in liquid, the way in which it is positioned inside the container, in this case exemplified as a jar, and the way in which it is stored, is explicitly detailed. which behaves to facilitate the extraction of drained food, leaving the liquid inside the aforementioned jar.

En las Figuras 1 y 2 se muestra el accesorio para recipientes de alimentos en conserva, conformado a modo de pinza (1) con dos modulos concavos a modo de valvas simetricas (2a) (2b) semicirculares, cada una de las cuales presenta en su superficie perimetral curva exterior una depresion o muesca (5) y un tramo recto (3) en su parte opuesta, estando dicho tramo recto (3) prolongado en una pestana saliente (4). Ambas valvas (2a) (2b) quedan unidas por una bisagra (6) que permite la separation y aproximacion de las mismas. En la figura 2 son visibles los orificios (7) que las dos valvas (2a) (2b) presentan en su base inferior y que permite la evacuation del liquido que pueda contener cada una de ellas en la concavidad que conforman para contener los alimentos. En la figura 3 se muestra una vista de la pinza con ambas valvas (2a) (2b) abiertas y unidas por la bisagra (6), con las depresiones o muescas (5) existentes en su superficie exterior curva, y las pestanas salientes (4) que rematan los tramos rectos (3).Figures 1 and 2 show the accessory for canned food containers, formed as a clamp (1) with two concave modules in the form of symmetrical leaflets (2a) (2b) semicircular, each of which presents in its perimetral surface curves a depression or notch (5) and a straight section (3) in its opposite part, said straight section (3) being extended in a protruding tab (4). Both valves (2a) (2b) are joined by a hinge (6) that allows the separation and approximation of the same. In figure 2 are visible the holes (7) that the two valves (2a) (2b) have in their lower base and allows the evacuation of the liquid that may contain each of them in the concavity that they form to contain food. Figure 3 shows a view of the clamp with both leaflets (2a) (2b) open and joined by the hinge (6), with the depressions or notches (5) existing in its curved outer surface, and the protruding flanges ( 4) that finish the straight sections (3).

La conformation de la pinza con las valvas (2a) (2b) se muestra en las figuras 4 y 5 en sendas vistas esquematicas en las cuales son visibles las caracteristicas tecnicas ya descritas.The conformation of the clamp with the leaflets (2a) (2b) is shown in figures 4 and 5 in respective schematic views in which the technical characteristics already described are visible.

En las figuras 6, 7, 8 y 9 se muestra la pinza que se reivindica relacionada con un tarro para alimentos del tipo encurtidos en el que esta destinada a integrarse como accesorio para la extraccion de dichos alimentos. In Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9 the clamp is claimed that is related to a jar for food of the pickled type in which it is intended to be integrated as an accessory for the extraction of said foods.

En la figura 6 se muestra una vista explosionada que permite visualizar la posicion de pinza (1) en relacion con el recipiente, en este ejemplo un tarro, quedando la pinza (1) dentro del tarro que a su vez queda cerrado con la tapa (B) correspondiente. En las figuras 7, 8 y 9 se muestra la secuencia de uso de la pinza (1) y sus tres posiciones en relacion con el recipiente. En la figura 7, la pinza (1) esta en posicion expandida dentro de la cavidad del tarro (A), con las valvas (2a) (2b) presionando las paredes interiores de dicho tarro (A) y sumergida completamente en el liquido en que estan asimismo sumergidos los encurtidos, una parte o la totalidad de los cuales se aloja en las concavidades de cada valva (2a) (2b). En la figura 8, las pestanas salientes (4) vinculadas con los tramos rectos (3) de las valvas (2a) (2b) se juntan, se entiende por la presion de los dedos de la mano del usuario (no mostrados en esta figura), con lo cual las valvas (2a) (2b) se aproximan entre si gracias a su ductilidad y a la bisagra (6) que las une y se alejan de las paredes interiores del tarro (A). En la figura 9 se muestra la extraccion de la pinza (1) del tarro (A): al aproximarse las valvas (2a) (2b), reduce su volumen y puede pasar a traves de la embocadura del ya mencionado tarro (A). En esta misma figura se muestra la funcion que cumplen las depresiones o muescas (5) presentes en la superficie exterior curva de las valvas (2a) (2b), enclavandose dichas depresiones o muescas (5) en el borde perimetral del tarro (A) que queda asentado en las mismas, sobresaliendo el borde de la pinza (1) de la embocadura del tarro (A) y quedando las valvas (2a) (2b) separadas en un angulo obtuso y con sus respetivas concavidades accesibles para permitir que el usuario tome los encurtidos que desee sin que el liquido contenido en el tarro gotee o salga al exterior ya que, gracias a los orificios de la base de las valvas (2a) (2b), dicho liquido queda en su interior y los encurtidos salen escurridos.Figure 6 shows an exploded view that allows to visualize the position of clamp (1) in relation to the container, in this example a jar, with the clamp (1) remaining inside the jar which in turn remains closed with the lid ( B) corresponding. In figures 7, 8 and 9 the sequence of use of the clamp (1) and its three positions in relation to the container is shown. In figure 7, the clamp (1) is in expanded position inside the cavity of the jar (A), with the valves (2a) (2b) pressing the inner walls of said jar (A) and completely submerged in the liquid in that the pickles are also submerged, a part or all of which is lodged in the concavities of each leaflet (2a) (2b). In figure 8, the protruding flanges (4) linked to the straight sections (3) of the leaflets (2a) (2b) come together, it is understood by the pressure of the fingers of the user's hand (not shown in this figure). ), whereby the leaflets (2a) (2b) approach each other thanks to their ductility and to the hinge (6) that joins them and moves away from the inner walls of the jar (A). Figure 9 shows the extraction of the clamp (1) from the jar (A): when the leaflets (2a) (2b) approach, it reduces its volume and can pass through the mouth of the aforementioned jar (A). In this same figure is shown the function that the depressions or notches (5) present in the curved outer surface of the leaflets (2a) (2b), interlocking said depressions or notches (5) in the perimeter edge of the jar (A) that remains seated in them, projecting the edge of the clamp (1) from the mouth of the jar (A) and leaving the valves (2a) (2b) separated at an obtuse angle and with their respective accessible concavities to allow the user take the pickles you want without the liquid in the jar dripping or going outside because, thanks to the holes in the base of the valves (2a) (2b), the liquid is inside and the pickles come drained.

El accesorio para recipientes que se presenta, de acuerdo con lo descrito, es una pieza de gran simplicidad estructural, con dos modulos concavos o valvas simetricas con perforaciones en su base para evacuar el liquido en que estan sumergidos los alimentos y con las pestanas salientes que intervienen para extraerla parcialmente del recipiente.The accessory for containers presented, as described, is a piece of great structural simplicity, with two concave modules or symmetrical valves with perforations in its base to evacuate the liquid in which the food is submerged and with the protruding flanges that they intervene to extract it partially from the container.

La estructura ductil de la pinza permite que se ajuste en el interior del recipiente, adecuadamente dimensionada segun el recipiente en cuestion, quedando explosionada contra las paredes interiores del mismo en posicion de reposo y aproximando ambas valvas cuando el usuario presiona sus respectivas pestanas, permitiendo que la pinza salga parcialmente del recipiente hasta quedar apoyada en su borde con los modulos o valvas abiertos y extendidos para poder coger los encurtidos que contienen. The ductile structure of the clip allows it to fit inside the container, suitably sized according to the container in question, being exploded against the inner walls of the same in resting position and approaching both valves when the user presses their respective tabs, allowing the clamp comes out partially from the container until it is resting on its edge with the modules or open and extended valves to be able to pick up the pickles they contain.

Como se ha comentado, el accesorio que se reivindica es apto para cualquier tipo de recipiente o envase que contenga alimentos que por necesidades de conservation deban estar sumergidos en Kquido, sean dichos recipientes del tipo tarro de cristal que son los mas habituales para encurtidos pero tambien para recipientes metalicos como latas, en particular latas de conformation vertical de una cierta longitud puesto que en latas de conformation horizontal, planas, la extraction del alimento es facil con utiles como una paleta al no tener profundidad. Obviamente, la amplitud y longitud de la pinza debe ser acorde con las dimensiones del recipiente en que se ubica.As mentioned, the accessory that is claimed is suitable for any type of container or container containing food that for conservation needs should be submerged in Kquido, be these containers of the glass jar type that are the most common for pickles but also for metal containers such as cans, in particular cans of vertical conformation of a certain length since in cans of horizontal, flat conformation, the extraction of the food is easy with tools such as a pallet having no depth. Obviously, the amplitude and length of the clamp must be in accordance with the dimensions of the container in which it is located.

Es igualmente importante senalar que el accesorio que se reivindica permite retornar el alimento extraido y no consumido al interior del contenedor, sumergido de nuevo en el liquido que lo conserva en su condition original.It is equally important to point out that the claimed accessory allows to return the extracted and not consumed food inside the container, submerged again in the liquid that keeps it in its original condition.

A nivel constructivo, se entiende que la ductilidad de la pinza es una caracteristica fundamental para su correcto comportamiento y cambio postural.At constructive level, it is understood that the ductility of the clamp is a fundamental characteristic for its correct behavior and postural change.
