Definitions
- the invention applied for refers to a standard tinned drinks protector, applied during packaging and, as its name indicates, protecting the top of the drinks tin, this being the area that comes into contact with the user's lips, atmospheric dust, animal traces or accidental spillage during transportation, storage or at point of sale.
- the protective cap is made of PVC or PET thermoplastic material, heat and vacuum preformed, and possessing a closing seal system that is broken (enabling the cap to be opened) by means of the opening tab.
- the system of fitting the protective cap onto the drinks tin is highly ingenious, and consists of a negative, circular groove in the protective cap, that slots into the negative closing groove of the drinks tin.
- the standard tinned drinks protector that the invention herein proposes is based on the protection offered to drinks tins that are used for direct drinking consumption, normally 33 centilitre containers, although it can also be adapted for larger tins.
- the protective cap made of PVC or PET thermoplastic material, is fitted on the packaging line of the drinks at source, and therefore offers the user the guarantee that the top of the tin is clean and hygienic, this being the area which enters into contact with the final user's or consumer's lips.
- the standard tinned drinks protector offers hygienic protection of the tin during transport, storage or placement at the point of sale, preventing atmospheric dust, any type of animal traces or accidental spillage of material from dirtying or contaminating the cap or the top of the tin.
- the cap formed by the standard tinned drinks protector will be labelled where the opening micro incision has been made, with a printed label stating the conditions for opening and use of the seal.
- FIG. I there is an aerial view of the cap ( 1 ) formed by the standard tinned drinks protector, that is made of PVC or PET thermoplastic material, preformed and punched in order for the protective cap ( 1 ) to have the ideal shape so that on applying vertical pressure to the cap or force to the top ( 8 ) of the tin, the cap ( 1 ) slots into the rim ( 7 ) of the drinks tin ( 11 ), a slotting in that is carried out by the pressure exerted by the groove ( 6 ) or negative circular incision of the protective cap ( 1 ).
- the standard tinned drinks protector that is made of PVC or PET thermoplastic material
- the profile or final shape of the protective cap ( 5 ) covers 50 % of the sloping side profile ( 9 ) where the tin closing device ( 7 ) is found.
- the tab or opening seal ( 2 ) projects, being designed for easy use (removal).
- the micro incision ( 3 ) can be seen, that extends up to the centre of the protective cap ( 1 ), a micro incision that facilitates breaking the seal ( 10 ) and the protective cap ( 1 ) thereby opening the standard tinned drinks protector.
- FIG. II presents a cross-section, which shows (in broken lines) the sloping profile of the drinks tin ( 9 and 11 ) with its connection point ( 12 ) between the cone ( 9 ) containing the tin closing device ( 7 ) at the top ( 8 ) with the cylindrical wall of the same ( 11 ).
- the closing device ( 7 ) of the container ( 11 ) forms a negative circular slot as a result of the encapsulation and joining of the top ( 8 ) to the cone ( 9 ).
- This circular slot ( 7 ) is used as a pressure closing anchorage of the protective cap ( 1 ) by means of the negative circular incision ( 6 ) that is preformed on the side of the cap ( 1 ).
- the slotting in of the above mentioned grooves ( 7 ) and ( 6 ) gives rise to a safe, hermetic fit of the standard tinned drinks protector ( 1 ) to the body of the container ( 11 ).
