Abstract

The invention provides a beverage package, having a seal on a container for beverages or any other liquid products, the seal having a variety of geometric shapes, such as triangular, elliptical or semicircular, and is generally attached to the lid of the container by a central articulation pin. A sealing tab is generally provided on the lower face of the seal and attached to the seal through the central core, and teeth are provided in the peripheral region close to the base of the seal, serving to penetrate into the edge between the sealing tab and the opening provided in the lid of the container.

Description

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

The present utility model application refers to a constructive arrangement applied to a seal in a package for beverages or any other liquid products, pertaining to the technical field of package accessories in general, more particularly, it is a new seal for cans containing beverages such as beer, juice, milk, soft drinks or any other beverages and products that use the respective conditioning package, through which advantageous practical, safe and functional results may be attained.

STATE OF THE ART

Beverage packages in the form of cans are widely known, however in many of them the seal is removed and thrown away, thus polluting the environment, besides being a risk when people discard same in beaches, parks or entertainment sites, where a child may step on a seal and get wounded.
Thus, a new seal for beverage package was developed which, with its constructive arrangement, provides safer packages whose seal remains attached to the same, besides contributing to the environment, mitigating the above mentioned drawbacks, besides providing other advantages in view of its conception with a new, hygienic, customized practical opening.
