Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un aparato para la apertura y compresión de envases, recipientes y embalajes que, por su conformación, características y aplicaciones, mejora dispositivos y sistemas existentes en el mercado con finalidad similar y todo aquello que forma parte del estado de la técnica correspondiente.The present invention refers to an apparatus for the opening and compression of containers, containers and packaging that, due to its conformation, characteristics and applications, improves devices and systems existing on the market with a similar purpose and everything that is part of the state of the corresponding technique.

La solución técnica que se propone tiene por objeto disponer en un único aparato los medios para abrir diferentes tipos de recipientes, envases y embalajes, tanto del ámbito de la alimentación como de otros campos, y reducir posteriormente de forma significativa su volumen para facilitar su almacenamiento en casa o en centros profesionales como pueda ser la hostelería o el comercio y su ulterior transporte hasta los contenedores urbanos destinados a tales residuos de donde son a su vez retirados con destino una cadena de reciclaje.The proposed technical solution aims to provide in a single device the means to open different types of containers, containers and packaging, both in the food sector and in other fields, and subsequently significantly reduce their volume to facilitate their storage. at home or in professional centers such as the hotel industry or commerce and their subsequent transport to urban containers destined for such waste from where they are in turn removed to a recycling chain.

Estado de la técnicaState of the art

La sociedad actual, altamente consumista, genera una enorme cantidad de recipientes, envases y embalajes de todas formas y volúmenes, adaptados a los productos que contienen. Paralelamente, la preocupación por la conservación y protección del medio ambiente ha puesto en marcha una pluralidad de planes para el reciclaje de todo aquello que pueda tener una vida útil posterior, con una atención especial justamente a todo aquello que interviene en el envasado y embalaje de una amplia diversidad de productos, de hecho casi en la totalidad de productos puesto que la venta denominada "a granel”, aunque con un cierto repunte comercial, es muy minoritaria. Como consecuencia, la adquisición de un producto viene siempre acompañada de su correspondiente envase, recipiente o embalaje. Solamente a modo de ejemplo, citar botellas de plástico, latas y tetrabriks para bebidas, cajas transparentes para alimentos, blísteres para juguetes o artículos de papelería, etc., añadiendo las consiguientes cajas y bolsas para su transporte. Today's highly consumerist society generates an enormous amount of containers, containers and packaging of all shapes and sizes, adapted to the products they contain. At the same time, the concern for the conservation and protection of the environment has launched a plurality of plans for the recycling of everything that may have a later useful life, with special attention precisely to everything that intervenes in the packaging and packaging of a wide variety of products, in fact almost all products since the sale called "in bulk", although with a certain commercial rebound, is very minor. As a consequence, the acquisition of a product is always accompanied by its corresponding packaging , container or packaging Only by way of example, cite plastic bottles, cans and tetrabriks for drinks, transparent boxes for food, blisters for toys or stationery, etc., adding the corresponding boxes and bags for transport.

Estos envases, recipientes y embalajes están fabricados mayormente en plástico, metal y material celulósico, en particular cajas de cartón, siendo estos materiales los más habituales para ser destinados a un posterior reciclaje y siendo objeto de los planes de reciclaje impulsados por la Administración pública mediante políticas destinadas a fomentar el recicle en el punto final de la cadena de consumo, es decir, el consumidor y, en su caso, el cartonaje en el caso del comercio minorista. Es en este punto donde el consumidor se ve comprometido en una tarea compleja, no por su dificultad en reconocer diferentes materiales pero sí en lo concerniente a cómo guardarlos en el ámbito doméstico antes de su traslado y depósito en los puntos de recogida selectiva pertinentes.These containers, containers and packaging are made mainly of plastic, metal and cellulosic material, in particular cardboard boxes, these being the most common materials to be used for subsequent recycling and being the subject of recycling plans promoted by the Public Administration through policies aimed at promoting recycling at the end point of the consumption chain, that is, the consumer and, where appropriate, cardboard in the case of retail. It is at this point where the consumer is involved in a complex task, not because of their difficulty in recognizing different materials, but rather in terms of how to store them in the home before being transferred and deposited in the relevant separate collection points.

Porque, en realidad, el problema es doble: la gran cantidad de envases, recipientes y embalajes que se generan y su volumen, que sobrepasa en mucho la capacidad de espacio de que pueda disponerse para almacenarlos antes de su traslado definitivo. Cierto es que existen cubos o armarios compartimentados para distribuir y alojar estos envases según su material, pero tiende a ser insuficiente y sigue habiendo un problema de capacidad.Because, in reality, the problem is twofold: the large number of containers, containers and packaging that are generated and their volume, which far exceeds the capacity of space that can be available to store them before their final transfer. It is true that there are compartmentalized cubes or cabinets to distribute and house these containers according to their material, but it tends to be insufficient and there is still a capacity problem.

Una solución obvia es reducir su volumen, que según el material del envase es más o menos factible. La excepción son los envases de vidrio o cristal, por su propia fragilidad y riesgo de rotura y de daño colateral, pero los recipientes y embalajes metálicos, de plástico o de cartón, como son latas de bebidas o de conservas, papeles, envases de tetrabrik o botellas de material plástico son, en principio, aptos para ser sometidos a un proceso de aplastamiento o compactación, aunque actuar sobre ellos de forma manual, sin ayuda mecánica, es harto difícil.An obvious solution is to reduce its volume, which depending on the packaging material is more or less feasible. The exception is glass or crystal containers, due to their own fragility and risk of breakage and collateral damage, but metal, plastic or cardboard containers and packaging, such as beverage or canned food cans, papers, tetrabrik containers or plastic bottles are, in principle, suitable to be subjected to a crushing or compaction process, although acting on them manually, without mechanical help, is very difficult.

Respecto a la apertura de estos recipientes, envases y embalajes, es obvio que algunos de ellos incluyen medios propios para ser abiertos fácilmente, como por ejemplo las latas de bebidas con su anilla y lengüeta superior, pero la gran mayoría, aun indicando que son de fácil apertura, requieren del uso de herramientas adicionales de carácter manual, como por ejemplo abrelatas, medios de corte, etc.Regarding the opening of these containers, containers and packaging, it is obvious that some of them include their own means to be easily opened, such as beverage cans with their ring and upper tab, but the vast majority, even indicating that they are easy opening, require the use of additional manual tools, such as can openers, cutting tools, etc.

A nivel de propiedad industrial se han desarrollado diversos medios mecánicos de compactación de envases y recipientes.At the industrial property level, various mechanical means of compacting containers and containers have been developed.

Por ejemplo, la patente ES2434166 se refiere a un “taburete compactador y contenedor de envases plásticos para compactar y contener envases plásticos de líquidos de 5 y 10 litros mediante su aplastamiento entre una tabla superior y una sobretapa al sentarse en la sobretapa. La sobretapa bascula sobre un eje. La invención tiene también un recipiente basculante en su interior para almacenar los envases compactados." El expediente ES2300195 presenta una “máquina prensadora de envases, que comprende una base troncocónica provista en su interior de una concavidad para sostener el envase, de la cual dimanan verticalmente sendas guías laterales cilindricas dotadas de muelles interiores, a través de las cuales se desplaza verticalmente un elemento cónico superior, a través de orificios de que dispone; estando dicho elemento provisto de un orificio central para recibir la boca del envase, así como de sendas asas laterales mediante las cuales se presiona para que discurra sobre las guías y aplaste el envase, encajado entre dicho elemento y la base troncocónica. Los muelles interiores, que se han previsto en el interior de las guías, permiten que el elemento cónico superior una vez aplastado el envase, recupere su posición normal o de reposo." El expediente ES1063428 se refiere a un “dispositivo perfeccionado chafador de envases plásticos,” una “estructura de un bastidor compuesto por dos bases de forma cuadrada o rectangular, la base inferior que se apoya en el suelo y la superior unidas entre sí por una serie de pilares en las esquinas y en puntos centrales de los lados, a modo de jaula" en cuyo interior se colocan los envases. Por su parte, la patente europea EP3199332 desarrolla un dispositivo compactador de envases que comprende “una parte fija y un cajón, la parte fija comprende un sistema de compresión mecánica con una placa móvil configurada para desplazarse hacia una placa fija del cajón y un sistema para proporcionar calor, y donde el cajón comprende una placa frontal, una placa de fondo, una placa de apoyo y una placa basculante enfrentada con la placa fija, estando la placa basculante fijada a un primer resorte, y la placa basculante comprende una forma de L, con una primera rama fija la placa basculante al primer resorte y otra segunda rama forma una V respecto la placa fija y la placa basculante está situada para que el avance de la placa móvil hacia la placa fija presione la placa basculante" For example, the patent ES2434166 refers to a “compacting stool and container of plastic containers to compact and contain plastic containers of liquids of 5 and 10 liters by crushing it between a top board and an overcap when sitting on the overcap. The overcap is tilted on one axis. The invention also has a tilting container inside to store compacted containers. " File ES2300195 presents a " container pressing machine, which comprises a frustoconical base provided inside with a concavity to support the container, from which they spring vertically Cylindrical side guides provided with internal springs, through which an upper conical element moves vertically, through the holes it has; said element being provided with a central hole to receive the mouth of the container, as well as handles. side by which it is pressed to run over the guides and flatten the container, wedged between said element and the frusto-conical base. The internal springs, which have been provided inside the guides, allow the upper conical element once crushed the container, return to its normal or resting position. " The file ES1063428 refers to an "improved plastic container chamfering device," a "structure of a frame composed of two square or rectangular bases, the lower base resting on the ground and the upper one joined together by a series of pillars in the corners and in central points of the sides, like a cage " inside which the containers are placed. For its part, the European patent EP3199332 develops a container compacting device that comprises " a fixed part and a drawer, the fixed part comprises a mechanical compression system with a movable plate configured to move towards a fixed plate of the drawer and a system to provide heat, and where the drawer comprises a front plate, a bottom plate, a support plate and a plate tilting facing the fixed plate, the tilting plate being fixed to a first spring, and the tilting plate comprises an L-shape, with a first branch fixing the tilting plate to the first The spring and another second branch form a V with respect to the fixed plate and the tilting plate is positioned so that the advancement of the movable plate towards the fixed plate presses the tilting plate "

Las soluciones técnicas que proponen estos expedientes son funcionales para su propósito de compactar envases pero adolecen o bien de un problema de gran volumen o bien de estar limitados a un tipo determinado de envase, lo que no da una solución efectiva a cómo reducir el volumen de la gran diversidad de envases que se utilizan en el entorno doméstico normal. Y ninguno de ellos aporta solución técnica alguna para la apertura de los susodichos recipientes, envases o embalajes.The technical solutions proposed by these files are functional for their purpose of compacting containers but suffer either from a large volume problem or from being limited to a specific type of container, which does not provide an effective solution to how to reduce the volume of the great diversity of packaging that is used in the normal domestic environment. And none of them provides any technical solution for the opening of the aforementioned containers, containers or packaging.

El solicitante entiende, por tanto, que debería existir un aparato para reducir el volumen de recipientes, envases y embalajes, apto para actuar sobre una gran diversidad de los mismos de diferentes formas y tamaños, incorporando al mismo tiempo una diversidad de herramientas destinadas a la apertura de tales recipientes, envases y embalajes.The applicant understands, therefore, that there should be an apparatus to reduce the volume of containers, containers and packaging, capable of acting on a great diversity of the The same of different shapes and sizes, incorporating at the same time a variety of tools intended for the opening of such containers, packages and packages.

Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

Así pues, este modelo de utilidad se refiere a un aparato para la apertura y compresión de envases, recipientes y embalajes destinado a reducir el volumen de envases susceptibles, por sus características y material de conformación, de ser deformados hasta quedar sustancialmente aplastados, comprimidos y prensados. Igualmente novedosa es su capacidad para incorporar diferentes medios técnicos relacionados con la apertura de diferentes tipos de recipientes, envases y embalajes.Thus, this utility model refers to an apparatus for the opening and compression of containers, containers and packagings intended to reduce the volume of containers susceptible, due to their characteristics and shaping material, to be deformed until they are substantially crushed, compressed and pressed. Equally novel is its ability to incorporate different technical means related to the opening of different types of containers, containers and packaging.

Este innovador aparato, en base a su finalidad de comprimir envases, recipientes y embalajes, tiene como conformación básica dos placas enfrentadas y abisagradas con un grado de abertura de amplio rango, actuando la placa superior a modo de tapa y la placa inferior a modo de base, ambas simétricas en cuanto a dimensiones y estando la placa superior destinada a ejecutar un movimiento de abatimiento sobre la placa inferior hasta quedar ambas sobrepuestas, conformando un conjunto cerrado.This innovative device, based on its purpose of compressing containers, containers and packaging, has as its basic configuration two facing and hinged plates with a wide opening degree, the upper plate acting as a lid and the lower plate as a base, both symmetrical in terms of dimensions and the upper plate being designed to perform a folding movement on the lower plate until both are superimposed, forming a closed set.

Las superficies exteriores de ambas placas son esencialmente planas mientras que sus respectivas superficies interiores están diseñadas técnica y dimensionalmente para acoger diferentes tipos de envases en su diversidad de formas, tamaños y materiales. Lateralmente, una o ambas placas incorporan medios técnicos para abrir una diversidad de envases, estando alguno de estos medios vinculados mediante medios de unión o enganche, por ejemplo una o ambas tapas, como pueda ser un nicho dentado para la apertura de tapones tipo corona de botellines o un nicho roscado para tapones de rosca, entre otros.The outer surfaces of both plates are essentially flat while their respective inner surfaces are technically and dimensionally designed to accommodate different types of containers in their diversity of shapes, sizes and materials. Laterally, one or both plates incorporate technical means to open a variety of containers, some of these means being linked by means of attachment or hooking, for example one or both lids, such as a toothed niche for opening crown-type caps of bottles or a threaded niche for screw caps, among others.

En su cara interior, ambas placas presentan una alternancia de senos o celdillas y salientes o relieves estratégicamente dispuestos y no coincidentes ni idénticos en ambas placas, definiendo una secuencia cuya distribución determina diferentes zonas técnicamente capaces de recibir y alojar diferentes tipos de envases, recipientes y embalajes deformables de distintas dimensiones.On the inside, both plates present an alternation of breasts or cells and strategically arranged protrusions or reliefs that are not coincident or identical on both plates, defining a sequence whose distribution determines different areas technically capable of receiving and accommodating different types of containers, containers and deformable packaging of different dimensions.

El tramo frontal de ambas placas presenta una conformación distinta, dibujando la placa superior o tapa un asidero de agarre mientras que la placa inferior o base dibuja un área o superficie libre que por una parte permite el paso de la mano en el asidero de agarre para el transporte del aparato y por otro permite la colocación de herramientas, materiales o cuanto sea preciso cuando el aparato está abierto.The front section of both plates presents a different conformation, drawing the upper plate or cover a grip handle while the lower plate or base draws an area or Free surface that, on the one hand, allows the hand to pass over the handle for transporting the device and, on the other, allows the placement of tools, materials or whatever is necessary when the device is open.

La funcionalidad del aparato descrito es obvia. Gracias a la alternancia de los senos o celdillas y los salientes o relieves descritos y su disposición técnicamente relevante en la cara interior de ambas placas, resultan fácilmente reconocibles las diferentes zonas destinadas a colocar envases, recipientes y embalajes: zonas circulares para alojar latas, zonas horizontales situadas en la parte angular de las placas para botellas de mayor capacidad, zonas adaptadas para envases rectangulares como tetrabriks y para el aplastamiento de cajas de cartón. La estructura de todos estos envases cede por el empuje y la fuerza que ejerce la placa superior o tapa al abatirse sobre la placa inferior o base, siempre por compresión manual puesto que por mayor seguridad, el aparato que se reivindica es totalmente mecánico y de uso manual, sin incorporar medio alguno automático que precise de una alimentación mediante motor o similar.The functionality of the described apparatus is obvious. Thanks to the alternation of the sinuses or cells and the projections or reliefs described and their technically relevant arrangement on the inside of both plates, the different areas for placing containers, containers and packaging are easily recognizable: circular areas to house cans, areas horizontal located in the angular part of the plates for larger capacity bottles, areas adapted for rectangular containers such as tetrabriks and for the crushing of cardboard boxes. The structure of all these containers yields by the push and the force exerted by the upper plate or lid when folding down on the lower plate or base, always by manual compression since for greater safety, the apparatus claimed is totally mechanical and user-friendly. manual, without incorporating any automatic means that requires a power supply by motor or similar.

En las figuras 2 y 5 se muestras sendas vistas en perspectiva del aparato, con diferentes grados de apertura angular, una en posición abierta y en la otra semicerrada. En ambas figuras se muestran los elementos ya citados - asidero de agarre (11) y una plataforma (21) libre - y se detalla la estructura interna tanto de la placa superior o tapa (1) como de la placa inferior o base (2). En ambas se distinguen una diversidad de senos o celdillas (6) y salientes o relieves (5) estratégicamente distribuidos en alternancia y separados por unos nervios longitudinales (13) y (23) presentes tanto en la placa superior (1) como en la placa inferior (2), asimismo en su disposición alterna, tal y como se muestra en detalle en las figuras 6 y 7. Respecto del plano longitudinal de cada placa (1) o (2), es decir, a lo largo de la superficie interna de la misma, desde la zona abisagrada hasta el extremo opuesto y de lateral a lateral, los senos o celdillas (6) se emplazan bien en posición vertical, bien en posición horizontal, mientras que los salientes o relieves (5) emplazan en posición vertical. Respecto del plano horizontal de cada placa (1) o (2), dichos senos o celdillas (6) y dichos salientes o relieves (5), independientemente de su posición horizontal o vertical, se disponen en hileras que van de un lateral al otro lateral de la superficie interna de dichas placas, cada hilera formada únicamente por senos o celdillas (6) o por salientes o relieves (5).Figures 2 and 5 show two perspective views of the apparatus, with different degrees of angular opening, one in the open position and the other semi-closed. Both figures show the elements already mentioned - grip handle (11) and a free platform (21) - and the internal structure of both the upper plate or cover (1) and the lower plate or base (2) are detailed. . In both, a variety of sinuses or cells (6) and projections or reliefs (5) strategically distributed alternately and separated by longitudinal ribs (13) and (23) present both in the upper plate (1) and in the plate are distinguished. lower (2), also in its alternate arrangement, as shown in detail in figures 6 and 7. With respect to the longitudinal plane of each plate (1) or (2), that is, along the internal surface of the same, from the hinged area to the opposite end and from side to side, the sinuses or cells (6) are located either in a vertical position or in a horizontal position, while the projections or reliefs (5) are located in a vertical position . Regarding the horizontal plane of each plate (1) or (2), said sinuses or cells (6) and said projections or reliefs (5), regardless of their horizontal or vertical position, are arranged in rows that go from one side to the other. lateral of the internal surface of said plates, each row formed solely by sinuses or cells (6) or by projections or reliefs (5).

En las mismas figuras 2 y 5 se muestran unos elementos fundamentales para el mecanismo compresor del aparato, concretados en unas piezas salientes dentados a modo de colmillo (3), situados igualmente en alternancia en las zona frontal de la placa base (2) y la placa superior (1), estando estos colmillos (3) destinados a alojarse en sendas cavidades (4) practicadas igualmente en alternancia en ambas placas (1) y (2). Asimismo, en la zona frontal de ambas placas se dibujan centralmente sendos rebajes circulares (12) y (22), en este caso coincidentes, visibles en la figura 2, destinados a alojar envases circulares del tipo lata. Adicionalmente, el rebaje circular (12) situado en la placa superior o tapa (1) presenta una prolongación incisiva o punzón (14), situada asimismo centralmente, destinada a clavarse en dichos envases circulares y perforarlos.In the same figures 2 and 5 are shown some fundamental elements for the compressor mechanism of the device, specified in projections teeth-like fangs (3), also located alternately in the front area of the base plate (2) and the upper plate (1), these fangs (3) being intended to be housed in respective cavities (4) also made alternately in both plates (1) and (2). Likewise, in the front area of both plates, respective circular recesses (12) and (22) are drawn centrally, in this case coincident, visible in Figure 2, intended to house circular cans of the can type. Additionally, the circular recess (12) located in the plate The top or lid (1) has an incisive extension or punch (14), also located centrally, intended to be nailed into said circular containers and pierce them.

En las figuras 3 y 4 se muestran sendas vistas esquemáticas, laterales, del aparato en posición semiabierta y cerrada, remarcando especialmente los salientes dentados o colmillos (3) y las cavidades (4) en que se alojan al quedar el aparato cerrado cuando las dos placas quedan ajustadas. Son visibles igualmente los senos o celdillas (6) y los salientes o relieves (5) alternos situados en ambas placas y que encajan unos con otros cuando a tapa (1) se abate sobre la base (2) y el aparato se cierra.Figures 3 and 4 show schematic, lateral views of the device in a semi-open and closed position, highlighting especially the toothed projections or fangs (3) and the cavities (4) in which they are housed as the device remains closed when both plates are snug. Also visible are the sinuses or cells (6) and the alternate projections or reliefs (5) located on both plates and which engage each other when the lid (1) is folded onto the base (2) and the device is closed.

En las figuras 6 y 7 se muestran sendas vistas en planta de la placa superior o tapa (1) (figura 6) y de la placa inferior o base (2) con los elementos ya citados, es decir, la pluralidad de senos o celdillas (6) y salientes o relieves (5) distribuidos de forma alterna para conseguir el encaje de unos con otros al cerrar el aparato, actuando sobre los envases o recipientes colocados en el mismo, compactándolos por la presión ejercida por la placa superior (1) sobre la placa inferior (2). En estas figuras se muestran como tales senos o celdillas (6) y salientes o relieves (5) están distribuidos en hileras y separados por los nervios longitudinales (13) y (23) que sobresalen en la superficie interna de las placas superior (1) e inferior (2). Estos nervios longitudinales (13) y (23) están dispuestos igualmente en forma alterna para facilitar el cierre del aparato. En estas figuras se muestran claramente los rebajes circulares (12) y (22), asimismo coincidentes y el punzón (14) que sobresale centralmente del rebaje circular (12) de la placa superior (1) o tapa. En la parte inferior de ambas placas se distingue la bisagra (7) que permite su articulación y consecuentemente la apertura y el cierre del aparato. Esta bisagra (7) se muestra en mayor detalle en la figura 9, con el eje (71) de la misma que vincula ambas placas. En esta figura se remarcan de nuevo los colmillos (3) frontales destinados a alojarse en sendas cavidades (4) asimismo frontales.Figures 6 and 7 show respective plan views of the upper plate or cover (1) (figure 6) and of the lower plate or base (2) with the elements already mentioned, that is, the plurality of sinuses or cells (6) and projections or reliefs (5) distributed alternately to achieve the fit with each other when closing the device, acting on the containers or containers placed in it, compacting them by the pressure exerted by the upper plate (1) on the bottom plate (2). These figures show how such sinuses or cells (6) and projections or reliefs (5) are distributed in rows and separated by the longitudinal ribs (13) and (23) that protrude on the internal surface of the upper plates (1) and lower (2). These longitudinal ribs (13) and (23) are also arranged alternately to facilitate the closure of the apparatus. These figures clearly show the circular recesses (12) and (22), also coincident, and the punch (14) that protrudes centrally from the circular recess (12) of the upper plate (1) or lid. In the lower part of both plates, the hinge (7) can be distinguished, which allows their articulation and consequently the opening and closing of the device. This hinge (7) is shown in greater detail in figure 9, with its axis (71) linking both plates. In this figure, the front fangs (3) destined to be housed in respective cavities (4), also front, are highlighted again.

En la figura 8 se muestra una vista esquemática del encaje de la placa superior o tapa (1) y la placa inferior o base (2), cada una de las cuales con una pluralidad de senos o celdillas (6) y una pluralidad salientes o relieves (5) distribuidos de forma alterna en sus respectivas superficies interiores, de modo que al abatirse la tapa (1) sobre la base (2), ambas se aproximan hasta el cierre del aparato, obviamente con el envase, recipiente, o embalaje situado entre ambas placas (1) y (2). En este momento, al coincidir los senos o celdillas (6) de una placa con los salientes o relieves (5) de la otra placa, la presión que se ejerce rompe la memoria estructural del envase en cuestión, que queda comprimido y aplastado.Figure 8 shows a schematic view of the fit of the upper plate or lid (1) and the lower plate or base (2), each of which with a plurality of breasts or cells (6) and a plurality of projections or reliefs (5) alternately distributed on their respective inner surfaces, so that when the lid (1) is folded onto the base (2), both approach until the device is closed, obviously with the container, container, or packaging positioned between both plates (1) and (2). At this time, when the sinuses or cells (6) of one plate coincide with the projections or reliefs (5) of the other plate, the pressure exerts breaks the structural memory of the container in question, which remains compressed and crushed.

En las figuras 10 y 11 se muestra el aparato que se reivindica en uso, en la figura 10 con una botella (A) colocada en la zona angular próxima al punto de articulación de ambas placas, acomodada en los senos o celdillas (6) que en esta zona son horizontales al igual que sus respectivos salientes o rebajes (5), de forma que al presionar hacia abajo la placa superior (1) o tapa, dicha botella (A), atrapada entre ambas placas, cede en su estructura deformable, quedando comprimida. Lo mismo ocurre con el ejemplo descrito en la figura 11, que en este caso muestra un envase circular del tipo lata (B) asentado en el rebaje circular (22) de la placa inferior (2) y que, al bajar la placa superior (1), queda agujereado por el punzón central (14) del rebaje circular (12) de dicha placa superior (1), quedando igualmente prensado y comprimido por la presión ejercida por la placa superior (1) sobre la placa inferior (2).Figures 10 and 11 show the claimed apparatus in use, in figure 10 with a bottle (A) placed in the angular area close to the articulation point of both plates, accommodated in the sinuses or cells (6) that In this area they are horizontal as well as their respective projections or recesses (5), so that when pressing down on the upper plate (1) or cap, said bottle (A), trapped between both plates, gives way in its deformable structure, being compressed. The same occurs with the example described in figure 11, which in this case shows a circular can-type container (B) seated in the circular recess (22) of the lower plate (2) and that, when lowering the upper plate ( 1), is pierced by the central punch (14) of the circular recess (12) of said upper plate (1), being also pressed and compressed by the pressure exerted by the upper plate (1) on the lower plate (2).

En base a lo expuesto en esta memoria descriptiva son evidentes las ventajas del nuevo aparato para la apertura y compresión de envases, recipientes y embalajes.Based on what is stated in this specification, the advantages of the new apparatus for opening and compressing packages, containers and packages are evident.

Novedosamente, la conformación de este aparato para comprimir recipientes y embalajes incorpora medios para abrir diferentes tipos de envases, recipientes y embalajes, lo que es una ventaja sustancial para el usuario puesto que un solo aparato dispone de medios para abrir el envase y, una vez consumido el producto y vacío dicho envase, comprimirlo para su almacenamiento y posterior traslado a un punto de reciclaje.Newly, the conformation of this apparatus for compressing containers and packages incorporates means to open different types of containers, containers and packages, which is a substantial advantage for the user since a single device has means to open the container and, once Once the product has been consumed and said container emptied, compress it for storage and subsequent transfer to a recycling point.

Toda la estructura del aparato que se reivindica está concebida y diseñada para compactar todo tipo de envases de paredes blandas, es decir, deformables, independientemente del material en que estén fabricados (plásticos, aluminio, cartón, etc.) mediante un proceso de aplastamiento, incorporando novedosamente unos elementos técnicos fundamentales para un óptimo funcionamiento del aparato, concretados en los al menos dos pares de colmillos descritos, situados tanto en la placa superior como en la placa inferior y encarados en su correspondientes alojamientos o cavidades receptoras asimismo situadas en ambas placas. Con ello se consiguen dos objetivos: sujetar de forma firme y eficaz los envases y recipientes y asegurar el cierre del aparato, es decir, el perfecto encaje de tapa y base, obteniendo el resultado deseado, es decir, la compresión del envase en cuestión. The entire structure of the claimed apparatus is conceived and designed to compact all types of soft-walled containers, that is, deformable, regardless of the material in which they are made (plastics, aluminum, cardboard, etc.) by means of a crushing process, Newly incorporating fundamental technical elements for optimal operation of the device, specified in the at least two pairs of tusks described, located both on the upper plate and on the lower plate and facing their corresponding housings or receiving cavities also located on both plates. With this, two objectives are achieved: to firmly and effectively hold the containers and containers and to ensure the closure of the device, that is, the perfect fit of the lid and base, obtaining the desired result, that is, the compression of the container in question.

De igual modo, los nervios longitudinales presentes tanto en la placa superior como en la placa inferior, en su disposición alterna, permiten el encaje de ambas placas y el ajuste o acople de los salientes o relieves en sus respectivos senos o celdillas, lo que supone el aplastamiento y compresión de cualquier elemento con volumetría que situado entre ambas placas. El sistema de compresión mediante las dos placas abisagradas supone que se pueda utilizar con una mínima fuerza.Similarly, the longitudinal ribs present on both the upper plate and the lower plate, in their alternate arrangement, allow the fitting of both plates and the adjustment or coupling of the projections or reliefs in their respective sinuses or cells, which means the crushing and compression of any element with volumetry that is located between both plates. The compression system through the two hinged plates means that it can be used with minimal force.

La distribución estratégica de los senos o celdillas y los salientes o relieves, así como los colmillos y sus correspondientes cavidades o alojamientos y los rebajes circulares presentes tanto en la base como en la tapa permiten colocar diferentes tipos de envases, recipientes y envases en diferentes posiciones, en vertical o en horizontal, de acuerdo con la forma y tamaño de cada uno de ellos, admitiendo envases del tipo tetrabrick, latas, botellas, garrafas, hueveras, cajas, blísteres, etc.The strategic distribution of the sinuses or cells and the projections or reliefs, as well as the tusks and their corresponding cavities or housings and the circular recesses present both in the base and in the lid allow different types of containers, containers and containers to be placed in different positions , vertically or horizontally, according to the shape and size of each one of them, admitting containers of the tetrabrick type, cans, bottles, carafes, egg cups, boxes, blisters, etc.

El diseño del nuevo aparato pretende facilitar no sólo cómo reducir el tamaño de los envases sino también su apertura. Obviamente, la gran diversidad existente de envases, recipientes y embalajes implica el uso de diferentes herramientas para abrir cada uno de ellos, según la naturaleza de los mismos. Ello supone que el usuario deba disponer de dichas herramientas, y es habitual que acabe con diferentes unidades de cada tipo. Para solventar este problema, el nuevo aparato, como se ha comentado, incluye una diversidad de diferentes medios técnicos para abrir los susodichos envases, etc. situados en la placa inferior o base y /o en la placa superior o tapa.The design of the new device aims to facilitate not only how to reduce the size of the packages but also their opening. Obviously, the great diversity of containers, containers and packaging implies the use of different tools to open each one of them, depending on their nature. This means that the user must have these tools available, and it is common for them to end up with different units of each type. To solve this problem, the new apparatus, as mentioned, includes a variety of different technical means for opening said packages, etc. located on the bottom plate or base and / or on the top plate or cover.
