Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

La presente invención se refiere como su título indica a una tapa protectora para latas de bebida, siendo dicha tapa de las que comprenden un cuerpo laminar de material plástico, a modo de capuchón, destinado a posicionarse sobre la zona superior de la lata con el fin de impedir la acumulación de suciedad sobre dicha superficie durante el tiempo de almacenaje, transporte y exposición en los puntos de venta.The present invention is referred to as its title indicates a protective cap for beverage cans, said cover of those comprising a laminar body of plastic material, as a cap, intended to be positioned on the upper area of the can in order to prevent the accumulation of dirt on said surface during the time of storage, transport and Exhibition at the points of sale.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

Como es sabido, las latas de bebidas presentan un cuerpo cilíndrico que se prolonga superior e inferiormente en sendas porciones troncocónicas decrecientes, rematando la superior en un regruesamiento conformado por la unión del cuerpo con una tapa superior, portadora de unos medios de fácil apertura.As is known, beverage cans have a cylindrical body that extends upper and lower in two decreasing truncated conical portions, topping off the upper in a thickening formed by the union of the body with a top cover, carrier of easy opening means.

En estas latas la tapa superior conforma, conjuntamente con el regruesamiento periférico, una cavidad en la que se acumula el polvo y la suciedad durante el tiempo de almacenaje, transporte y exposición de la lata.In these cans the top lid forms, together with peripheral thickening, a cavity in the that dust and dirt accumulates during the time of storage, transportation and exposure of the can.

La suciedad acumulada sobre la tapa de la lata supone un problema higiénico a la hora de verter el contenido en un vaso o consumirlo directamente de la lata.The dirt accumulated on the lid of the can It is a hygienic problem when pouring the contents into a glass or consume it directly from the can.

Para solventar estos problemas se han ideado hasta la fecha diferentes tapas protectoras conformadas habitualmente por un cuerpo laminar, de material plástico, de configuración adecuada para cubrir la superficie superior de la lata y para fijarse sobre el regruesamiento perimetral de la tapa ya sea por retractilado, por presión, por pegado o por otros medios
similares.To solve these problems, different protective caps have been devised to date, usually made up of a laminar body, made of plastic material, of adequate configuration to cover the upper surface of the can and to be fixed on the perimetric thickening of the lid either by shrinking by pressure, by gluing or by other means
Similar.

En algunos casos estas tapas protectoras presentan lateralmente unas líneas verticales de rotura que, una vez desgarradas, permiten realizar la separación de la tapa protectora y acceder a los medios de apertura de la lata.In some cases these protective caps they have laterally broken vertical lines that, once torn, allow separation of the protective cap and access the can opening means.

Estas tapas protectoras presentan un problema generalizado consistente en que, para realizar la apertura de la lata y el consumo de la bebida contenida en su interior, es preciso separar totalmente la tapa protectora de la lata, con lo que existe un riesgo importante de que dicha tapa protectora sea arrojada directamente sobre el suelo constituyendo un residuo plástico y por tanto de difícil eliminación.These protective caps present a problem generalized consisting in that, to perform the opening of the can and the consumption of the drink contained inside, it is necessary completely separate the protective cap from the can, with what exists a significant risk that said protective cap is thrown directly on the ground constituting a plastic waste and by both difficult to eliminate.
