En dichos dibujos, con 10 se indica un contenedor como, por ejemplo, una cafetera o una jarra, provisto de una tapa o caperuza 11 que, de acuerdo con la invención, incorpora un dispositivo 12 de sujeción destinado a vincular dicha tapa 11 al contenedor 10.In said drawings, a container is indicated with 10 such as a coffee maker or a jug, provided with a lid or cap 11 which, according to the invention, incorporates a fastening device 12 intended to link said cover 11 to the container 10.

El dispositivo 12 está constituido sustancialmente por un par de brazos o palancas, respectivamente 13 y 14, susceptibles de rotar recíprocamente, en cuanto que el brazo 13 presenta un agujero pasante 15 destinado a recibir y a vincularse con una porción cilíndrica 16 solidaria con el brazo 14 que sirve de perno de rotación.The device 12 is constituted substantially by a pair of arms or levers, respectively 13 and 14, capable of rotating reciprocally, as the arm 13 presents a through hole 15 intended to receive and to link with a cylindrical portion 16 integral with the arm 14 It serves as a rotation bolt.

Alrededor de dicha porción cilíndrica 16 está oportunamente enrollado un muelle 17 de torsión cuyas dos extremidades libres 18 y 19 están destinadas a alojarse y vincularse en respectivos agujeros 18' y 19' practicados sobre el brazo 13 y sobre el brazo 14, resultando posicionado dicho muelle 17 de modo que mantiene los brazos 13 y 14 en posición elásticamente abierta.Around said cylindrical portion 16 is opportunely wound a torsion spring 17 whose two free limbs 18 and 19 are intended to stay and link in respective holes 18 'and 19' practiced on the arm 13 and on arm 14, said spring being positioned 17 so that it keeps arms 13 and 14 in an elastically position open

La porción cilíndrica 16 presenta además un agujero coaxial pasante 16', cuya función vendrá ilustrada a continuación. De acuerdo con la invención, los brazos 13 y 14 presentan además cada uno un apéndice, respectivamente 13' y 14', provisto de un diente o gancho terminal 20 que se desarrolla hacia el exterior en dirección coincidente al sentido de rotación R de la respectiva palanca, estando además dichas palancas 13 y 14 dotadas en su parte superior de apéndices 21 de agarre.The cylindrical portion 16 also has a 16 'coaxial hole, whose function will be illustrated by continuation. According to the invention, arms 13 and 14 each also has an appendix, respectively 13 'and 14', provided with a tooth or terminal hook 20 that develops towards the outside in a direction coinciding with the direction of rotation R of the respective lever, said levers 13 and 14 also being provided on top of appendages 21 grip.

En la tapa 11 está oportunamente alojado un vástago transversal 22 destinado a insertarse en el agujero pasante 16' permitiendo de este modo la fijación del dispositivo 12 a la tapa misma. Las extremidades de los brazos 13 y 14 provistas de dientes 20 se extienden apenas más allá del borde inferior de la tapa para aplicarse elásticamente a un reborde 23 obtenido sobre el borde que delimita la boca de la jarra. La parte opuesta de los brazos, dotada de los apéndices 21 de agarre, sobresale superiormente de la tapa a través de hendiduras paralelas 24 cuya amplitud permite la aproximación y/o el alejamiento elástico y recíproco de los brazos 13 y 14.In cover 11, a cross rod 22 intended to be inserted into the through hole 16 'thus allowing the fixation of the device 12 to the cover itself The extremities of arms 13 and 14 provided with teeth 20 extend just beyond the lower edge of the cover to be applied elastically to a flange 23 obtained on the edge that delimits the mouth of the jar. The opposite part of arms, equipped with the grip appendages 21, protrude superiorly of the cover through parallel grooves 24 whose amplitude allows the approach and / or the elastic distance and reciprocal of arms 13 and 14.

Para posicionar y vincular la tapa al contenedor es necesario acercar antes los apéndices 21 de agarre, apoyar la tapa sobre el borde del contenedor y después liberarlos de modo que los dientes 20 de los brazos 13 y 14 vayan a engancharse en el reborde 23 impidiendo, por tanto, que la tapa se desprenda de la boca del contenedor. Este último, por consiguiente, puede ser manejado a placer también en presencia de la tapa.To position and link the lid to the container it is necessary to approach the grip appendages 21 first, support the cover over the edge of the container and then release them so that teeth 20 of arms 13 and 14 are going to catch on the flange 23 thus preventing the lid from detaching from the container mouth The latter, therefore, can be handled at pleasure also in the presence of the lid.

Para retirar la tapa es suficiente acercar mutuamente los dos asideros 21 de agarre de modo que se desapliquen los dientes 20 del reborde 23, venciendo la fuerza del muelle 17, y levantar, por consiguiente, la tapa por medio de los apéndices mismos.To remove the cover it is enough to bring mutually the two grip handles 21 so that they are de-applied the teeth 20 of the flange 23, overcoming the force of the spring 17, and therefore lift the cover by means of the appendices same.

En la figura 5 se ilustra una solución alternativa en la cual, permaneciendo sin cambios la estructura global del dispositivo en examen, el muelle 17 presenta una configuración distinta en cuanto que sus extremidades libres en vez de aplicarse a los agujeros 18' y 19' resultan unidas a modo de compás a los apéndices 13' y 14' de los brazos 13 y 14.A solution is illustrated in Figure 5 alternative in which, the structure remains unchanged global of the device under examination, spring 17 presents a different configuration as far as your free limbs instead if applied to holes 18 'and 19' they are joined by way of compass to appendices 13 'and 14' of arms 13 and 14.

Advertir por fin que, sin salirse del ámbito de la invención, el muelle 17 de torsión puede ser sustituido por un muelle 17' de ballesta (figura 6) o por un muelle helicoidal 17'' (figura 7) puesto entre los apéndices 13', 14' de los brazos 13, 14.Finally warn that, without leaving the scope of the invention, the torsion spring 17 can be replaced by a spring 17 'of crossbow (figure 6) or by a coil spring 17' ' (figure 7) placed between the appendices 13 ', 14' of the arms 13, 14.
