Description

DESCRIPTION

Beverage container

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a beverage container, of the type commonly called "cans" and formed by a cylindrical body with two bases, one of the bases comprises an opening system.

STATE OF THE ART

The use of cylindrical cans is known in the state of the art, frequently used with beverages: beer, soft drinks, isotonic drinks ... They comprise a tube or container with a cylindrical wall, with a concave lower base and a generally flat upper base. They have a lid in the form of a tongue that is inserted inwards when lifting a ring.

This system is highly effective, as the ring is used consecutively as a lever of the first and second kind. However, it is not hygienic enough.

A system is also known, already abandoned, where the reed was extracted by pulling the ring. This system avoided contamination of the content, but generated two different bodies of waste and the reeds were often abandoned, not properly disposed of.

The applicant does not know of any device similar to the one claimed.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a beverage container according to the independent claim. Its different variants solve the problems of the state of the art.

Beverage container, of the type formed by a cylindrical wall with a concave lower base and an upper base with a lid. In addition, the upper base is convex and the lid is at its maximum, having a dome shape and a frangible perimeter.

Preferably the entire perimeter is frangible. Furthermore, the cover comprises a pull ring (5).

To reduce chipping, it is desirable that the cap be attached to the upper base by a flexible or deformable strip.

In addition, the two bases can have a conjugated shape, including the ring and eventual strip, so that similar packages can be stacked in a stable way.

Other particular solutions are included in the dependent claims and are described in detail below.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented.

Figure 1: Side view of a container according to an embodiment.

Figure 2: Section of an embodiment similar to that of the previous figure: (A) closed, (B) open.

MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Next, an embodiment of the invention will be briefly described, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment made up of a container with a cylindrical wall (1), a lower base (2) and an upper base (3). The two bases (2,3) have a conjugated shape so that similar packages can be stacked stably. The lower base (2) is concave and the upper base (3) convex and protrudes a smaller distance than the lower base (2). Generally, the upper base (3) is surrounded by a groove, as is usual in this type of packaging.

The opening mechanism can be seen especially in figure 2. It is located on the upper base (3) and is formed by a cover (4) with a frangible perimeter coinciding with the upper or maximum part of the upper base (3), in such a way that the cover (4) is dome-shaped. By having the frangible perimeter, the entire cover (4) can be separated from the rest of the the upper base (3). The separation is to the outside, so that any dirt on the lid does not mix with the content.

A pull ring (5) is arranged on the cover (4), normally connected by a rivet. Pulling the ring (5) breaks the perimeter and separates the base. On the other hand, the cover (4) is attached to the upper base (3) by a sufficiently flexible strip (6). This strip (6) is attached to the cover (4) and to the upper base (3) by rivets or another similar method. In the figures, the ring (5) is near the perimeter of the cover (4) and the strip (6) is on the opposite side.

Pulling the ring (5) opens the area closest to it and the interior of the container is ventilated. As you continue pulling, the entire lid (4) that remains hanging from the strip (6) is separated. In this way, it is easy to completely empty the container and the opening is far from the perimeter groove where any dirt accumulates.

Furthermore, it is easy to reposition the cover (4) in the hole thus formed by pushing it into position.
