Abstract

The packaging of the invention is particularly suitable for the packaging of soft drinks, as well as any other type of beverage, by allowing to vary its volumetry even when it is partially full, thus eliminating the air contained therein, which could deteriorate the organoleptic characteristics of said drink, allowing a minimum volumetric occupation both for storage and transport and for its recycling. For this, and from the conventional structuring of a bottle or container of this type, the invention consists in that the tubular body (1) of the bottle is affected mainly by a plurality of perimeter and annular folds (6) that confer to said structure a bellows-like configuration, elastically deformable, and plastically undeformable, which allows a regulation of the volume thereof depending on the degree of folding of the perimeter and annular folds (6).

Description

Envase de volumetría variable.Variable volumetric container.

Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un envase, concretamente a una botella, con una estructuración tal que permite adaptar su ocupación volumétrica en función de las necesidades específicas de cada caso, de manera que en situación inoperante, previamente a su llenado, o una vez consumido el contenido del mismo, la ocupación volumétrica de dicho envase sea mínima, reduciendo los costes de almacenaje o reciclado del envase.The present invention relates to a container, specifically to a bottle, with a structuring that allows adapt your volumetric occupation according to the needs specific to each case, so that in an inoperative situation, prior to filling, or once consumed the contents of the same, the volumetric occupation of said container is minimal, reducing the costs of storage or recycling of the container.

Es asimismo objeto de la invención el que el envase se adapte durante el consumo de su contenido al volumen de líquido restante, en orden a evitar que en el seno del mismo exista un volumen de aire que pudiera afectar a las características organolépticas del producto contenido.It is also the object of the invention that the container suits while consuming its content to the volume of remaining liquid, in order to avoid that there is a volume of air that could affect the characteristics organoleptic of the contained product.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

Dentro del ámbito de aplicación práctica de la invención, el de los envases tipo botella obtenidos a partir de materiales reciclables, son conocidas una gran variedad de botellas de éste tipo, estructuradas acorde a muy diversas líneas de diseño, que presentan como problema fundamental el hecho de que una vez consumido su contenido, las mismas presentan una ocupación volumétrica elevada, que hace que el reciclado de las mismas resulte costoso, por cuanto que es preciso disponer de un espacio considerablemente grande para alojar a dichos envases.Within the practical scope of the invention, that of the bottle-type containers obtained from recyclable materials, a wide variety of bottles are known of this type, structured according to very different design lines, that present as a fundamental problem the fact that once consumed its content, they present an occupation high volumetric, which makes their recycling result expensive, since it is necessary to have a space considerably large to accommodate such containers.

Esta problemática se hace extensiva al almacenamiento de dicho tipo de envases, previo llenado de los mismos.This problem is extended to storage of said type of containers, after filling the same.

Tratando de obviar esta problemática es conocida la inclusión en éste tipo de botellas de una serie de hendiduras perimetrales de configuración irregular que permiten llevar a cabo el aplastamiento del envase, una vez consumido su contenido, maniobra que no resulta sencilla para personas mayores o con poca fuerza.Trying to ignore this problem is known the inclusion in this type of bottles of a series of slits irregularly shaped perimeter that allow to carry out the crushing of the container, once consumed its contents, maneuver that is not easy for older people or with little force.

Un problema adicional que presenta esta estructuración es que, si bien el envase en situación de máxima volumetría presenta una rigidez estructural elevada, que permite un apilamiento estable para el mismo, una vez aplastado, el envase sufre una serie de deformaciones plásticas de las que no puede recuperarse, de manera que dicha estructuración está pensada únicamente para la eliminación de dichos envases, pero no para que éstos presenten una ocupación volumétrica mínima previamente a su llenado, no permitiendo la reducción volumétrica parcial de los mismos cuando éstos están parcialmente llenos, sin riesgo evidente de que se produzca el volcado del envase en dicha maniobra.An additional problem with this structuring is that, although the packaging in maximum situation volumetry has a high structural rigidity, which allows a stable stacking for it, once crushed, the container undergoes a series of plastic deformations of which it cannot recover, so that said structuring is intended only for the disposal of such containers, but not so that these have a minimum volumetric occupancy prior to their filling, not allowing partial volumetric reduction of same when these are partially filled, with no obvious risk that the dump of the container occurs in said maneuver.

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

El envase de volumetría variable que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta en todos y cada uno de los aspectos comentados.The variable volumetric container that the proposed invention resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problematic previously exposed in each and every one of the commented aspects.

Para ello, y de forma más concreta, la botella que se preconiza, estará obtenida, como es convencional, en plástico PET, o cualquier otro material de similares características apto para el consumo alimentario, en el que se define un cuerpo tubular, cerrado inferiormente, que sufre una estrangulación en su zona superior, rematado en una boquilla que se remata en el correspondiente tapón de rosca, con la particularidad de que dicho cuerpo tubular está afectado por uno o más sectores mayoritarios que presentan una estructuración en forma de fuelle, de manera que a partir de dicha estructuración el envase puede reducir su volumetría a lo largo de su eje de simetría vertical, todo ello sin sufrir ningún tipo de deformación plástica, sino únicamente elástica, de manera que el envase puede volver a recuperar su volumen inicial sin verse afectado su aspecto.To do this, and more specifically, the bottle which is recommended, will be obtained, as is conventional, in plastic PET, or any other material with similar characteristics suitable for food consumption, in which a tubular body is defined, closed lower, which suffers a strangulation in its area top, topped on a nozzle that is topped on the corresponding screw cap, with the particularity that said tubular body is affected by one or more major sectors that they have a bellows-shaped structure, so that from said structuring the container can reduce its volumetry along its axis of vertical symmetry, all without suffering no type of plastic deformation, but only elastic, of so that the container can return to its initial volume without Your appearance affected.

Esta estructuración hace que la botella no solo sea fácilmente reciclable, con una ocupación volumétrica mínima, sino que igualmente, al no sufrir deformaciones plásticas, puede ser almacenada previamente a su llenado con una ocupación volumétrica mínima, con la consecuente y positiva repercusión a nivel de costos que ello conlleva.This structuring makes the bottle not only easily recyclable, with minimal volumetric occupancy, but also, not suffering plastic deformations, it can be stored before filling with a volumetric occupation minimum, with the consequent and positive impact at cost level That entails.

Pero es más, dicha estructuración hace que la botella de la invención sea idónea para el envasado de bebidas gaseosas, ya que, la reducción volumétrica de la misma puede llevarse a cabo no solamente con el envase vacío, sino que también es posible con el envase parcialmente lleno, de manera que, cuando no se prevea el consumo íntegro de la bebida contenida en su seno, como sucede en las botellas de más de medio litro de capacidad, e incluso en las de menos, el volumen del envase podrá ajustarse al volumen de líquido contenido en el mismo, mediante el plegado de las superficies en forma de fuelle, de manera que se elimine el aire contenido en el seno del envase, de modo que se evita la pérdida de gas de la bebida que normalmente se concentra en la zona superior del envase que no queda ocupada por la bebida de que se trate.But it is more, said structuring makes the Bottle of the invention is suitable for beverage packaging soda, since the volumetric reduction of it can be carried out not only with the empty container, but also It is possible with the container partially filled, so that when the full consumption of the beverage contained within it is not foreseen, as in bottles with more than half a liter capacity, and even in those of less, the volume of the container can be adjusted to volume of liquid contained therein, by folding the bellows-shaped surfaces, so that air is removed contained within the container, so that the loss of Drink gas that normally concentrates in the upper zone of the container that is not occupied by the beverage in question.

Como resulta obvio, el envase podrá adaptarse a diferentes líneas de diseño, en función de la capacidad prevista para el mismo, pudiendo estar obtenido en muy diversos colores, de manera que uno o más sectores anulares del mismo pueden no estar afectados por la estructura en fuelle, para constituir la superficie de la botella sobre la que se establecerá la correspondiente etiqueta identificadora del producto almacenado.Obviously, the package can be adapted to different design lines, depending on the expected capacity for the same, being able to be obtained in very different colors, of so that one or more annular sectors thereof may not be affected by the bellows structure, to constitute the surface of the bottle on which the corresponding one will be established label identifying the stored product.
