PACK FOR DRINKS

D E S C R I P C I Ó N

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a beverage container, which is provided with several compartments to offer combined or mixed drinks based on two original drinks

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the consumption of combined beverages it is based on two original liquids or beverages, which are mixed in a glass or similar to obtain the derivative or combined drink.

Currently, the two original drinks come from different containers or containers, usually a bottle of liquor and a bottle or can of soda. This is a nuisance, due to the need to handle two containers, as well as difficulty in achieving the same proportion of the mixture that gives rise to the combined drink in different services, so that its flavor can vary. In addition, the liquor bottle normally remains unsealed for a long time to prepare various beverages, and is opened successively, so it may lose some of its properties.

The drawbacks described are solved with the use of the beverage container of the invention.

In relation to the present invention, soda containers are also known that are materialized in sheet metal, with both extreme bases, one of which comprises a first practicable sector with opening means for accessing the liquid or beverage contained

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The beverage container of the invention has a configuration that allows the hauling and dispensing of two original liquids or beverages to prepare a combined beverage from a single container, simplifying handling and hauling, with the added advantage that the volume of both beverages Originals are predetermined and therefore the proportion of the mixed drink mix is accurate if desired.

In accordance with the invention, the package is made of metal sheet (typically aluminum for its advantages of corrosion resistance and malleability) with extreme bases, with a first base provided with a first practicable sector (defined by weakening lines normally) with opening means (a first ring or similar, to pull and break down the sector from the weakening lines for example), which also, according to the invention, comprises a division that is defining two compartments: a first adjacent compartment to the first practicable sector of the first base to access a first liquid contained therein, and a second compartment adjacent to the second base; said second base comprising a second practicable sector, with opening means (a second ring for example), for access to a second liquid contained in said second compartment.

In this way there is a combined package, where each compartment contains one of the original drinks, which are kept in perfect condition until the time of preparation of the combined drink, when both compartments will be opened by the practicable sectors of their bases and Prepare the mixture.

Therefore, with the package of the invention, the advantage is obtained of commercially offering two-component combined drinks with a fixed proportion, always guaranteeing the same flavor, and maintaining the properties of the original drinks, but it also allows to consume both original drinks if desired, even allows you to offer the same original drink in both compartments, to allow its consumption at different times and without losing properties (pressure for example in carbonated drinks that remain open or that are emptied from a bottle). In addition, the machinery for manufacturing aluminum cans for beverages is widely used, which implies an immediate and economical placing on the market.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The beverage container (1) of the invention is of the type that is materialized in metal sheet with two extreme bases (3, 4), with a first base (3) thereof (see fig. 1) provided with a first practicable sector (30), defined in this example by first lines of weakening (33), with opening means consisting of a first ring (31); and which comprises a division (5) that is defining two compartments (6, 7): a first compartment (6) adjacent to the first practicable sector (30) of the first base (2) to access a first liquid contained in the same, and a second compartment (7) adjacent to the second base (4); said second base (4) comprising a second practicable sector (40) defined for example by second lines of weakening (43), with opening means, which would comprise a second ring (41), for access to a second liquid contained in said second compartment (7).

In some variants of the invention represented in Figures 1-4, the division (5) comprises an interior partition, such that the first compartment (6) is delimited by the division (5), part of the side envelope (2) of the container (1) and the first base (3), and the second compartment (7) is delimited by the division (5), the rest of the lateral envelope (2) and the second base (4).

In these cases the division (5) can be arranged horizontally (see figs 1 and 2) or inclined (see figs 3 and 4), which can improve the emptying by the bottom slope, since it is not required to be completely horizontal or flat since it will not serve as a support unlike the funds of the current packaging.

Likewise, the interior division (5) may be arranged in the center of the envelope (2) to configure two equal compartments (6, 7) (see fig. 2), for example of the same drink to be taken at two different times, or it can be offset from the center of the envelope (2) to configure two uneven compartments (6, 7) (see figs. 1, 3 and 4), for example to have different quantities of original beverages to prepare a beverage combined with unequal proportions, That will always be the same. A very preferred variant of the latter, for example, would have two compartments, one that would cover a third of the total capacity of the container (1) and the other compartment would cover two thirds of the total capacity of the container (1), which is usually a common proportion in certain drinks combined.

In other preferred variants of the invention shown in Figures 5 and 6, the division (5) is a first independent closed contour containing the first liquid, and which is including the first base (3) and the first practicable sector (30 ) -and its ring (31) or opening means-, and which is attached (welded for example, or crimped) to the rest of the container (1), which comprises a second closed contour (51) which is including the second base (4) and the second practicable sector (40) to contain the second liquid. In this text it is understood as the first closed contour independent, which has been obtained independently of the second closed contour (51), to facilitate the manufacture or the separate filling of both compartments. This first closed contour can occupy part of the diameter (as seen in Fig. 5-5a) or the entire diameter of the container (1) the can, as seen in Figure 6-6a. In addition, the second closed contour can be closed in some of its zones by means of the first closed contour or some of its parts, as seen in Figs 5, 5a, 6 and 6a, for material saving. That is, that part of the first contour and the second contour are common, or that both closed contours have shared parts.

Describing sufficiently the nature of the invention, it is indicated that the description thereof and its preferred embodiment should be construed in a non-limiting manner, and that it encompasses all of the possible embodiments that are deduced from the content of the present specification. and of the claims.
