ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

En el estado actual de la técnica, ya son conocidos envases, que incorporan el clásico sistema de apertura mediante el levantamiento de una leva o pieza excéntrica, situada en el faldón superior de un envase, y que queda unida a dicho faldón por una serie de nervios de desgarro o líneas de trepado, que se rompen fácilmente al tirar de la leva al objeto de que pueda girar para su empuje sobre la tapa y así proceder al levantamiento de la misma.In the current state of the art, containers are already known, which incorporate the classic opening system by lifting a cam or eccentric piece, located on the upper skirt of a container, and which remains attached to said skirt by a series of tear ribs or climbing lines, which are easily broken by pulling the cam to the so that it can rotate to be pushed on the lid and thus proceed to lift it.

Este tipo de levas tienen el inconveniente de que su giro no resulta natural, porque sus bisagras de giro, no quedan conformadas siguiendo una línea recta en su unión con el envase, lo que provoca roturas no deseadas, en los medios de giro de las levas.This type of cams have the drawback that their rotation is not natural, because their rotation hinges are not formed following a straight line at their junction with the container, which causes undesired breakage in the means of rotation of the cams. .

Igualmente, también existe el inconveniente de que las levas en muchas ocasiones, sufren una rotura en la zona más rebajada de material, cuando se tira o gira de las mismas, por no disponer de nervios de refuerzo en su cuerpo, que la hagan más fuerte y resistente para los movimientos, que se deben realizar en la apertura de la tapa.Likewise, there is also the drawback that the cams often break in the area with the lowest material, when they are pulled or rotated, because they do not have reinforcing ribs in their body, which make them stronger. and resistant for movements, which must be carried out in the opening of the lid.

Por otra parte, la mayoría de las levas para envases existentes en el mercado, presentan el canto inferior muy afilado, que es el canto sobre el que el usuario apoya los dedos para elevar la leva. Esto hace que los envases no sean agradables de abrir a pesar de tener dicho dispositivo de leva para su fácil abertura.On the other hand, most of the cams for containers on the market have a very sharp lower edge, which is the edge on which the user rests his fingers to raise the cam. This makes the packages unpleasant to open despite having such a cam device for easy opening.

OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención pretende aportar al mercado un dispositivo para la apertura de la tapa de un envase, en forma de leva rectangular, en cuyo borde inferior presenta un arco central de radio ergonómico, para la disposición de los dedos del usuario, lo que permite la manipulación correcta para hacer girar la leva, hasta empujar a la tapa para su apertura.The present invention aims to provide the market with a device for opening the lid of a container, in the form of a rectangular cam, on whose lower edge it presents a central arc with an ergonomic radius, for the arrangement of the user's fingers, which allows the Correct handling to rotate the cam until the lid is pushed to open.

Igualmente, la leva presenta en su borde superior, una disminución de material de unión con el envase, que conforman dos bisagras en línea recta, que permiten una mejor rotación de la leva.Likewise, the cam presents on its upper edge, a decrease in the material for joining the container, which forms two hinges in a straight line, which allow a better rotation of the cam.

A la mejora de la rotación de la leva, coadyuva la configuración de su cuerpo que dispone de escuadras internas de refuerzo, en una zona cercana a las bisagras, que le dan a la leva una robustez y por ende mayor resistencia en el giro para la apertura de la tapa del envase. To improve the rotation of the cam, the configuration of its body contributes, which has internal reinforcement brackets, in an area close to the hinges, which give the cam a robustness and therefore greater resistance in turning for the opening of the lid of the container.
