Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for holding, closing and opening parallelepiped cardboard containers, of the type known as tetra-brik.
  • tetra-brik Different devices are known that are applied to parallelepipedic cardboard containers, commonly known as tetra-brik, which have the function of facilitating their handling. These devices usually comprise a structure that attaches to the container in its upper part and a handle so that the container can be used as a jug.
  • the main drawback presented by these devices is that the container is permanently open, with the risk of introducing dust or other elements into it that may damage the hygiene or storage conditions of the packed liquid.
  • Another drawback of these devices consists in the difficulty of their coupling to the container, which is usually deficient, so that they detach from the container when it is inclined to pour the liquid contained therein.
  • the device of the invention is of the type comprising a structure that is coupled to the container in its upper part and a handle, whose package has in its upper part a nerve formed by the union of the parts that make up the container, and is characterized by the fact that the structure that attaches to the container in its upper part comprises an opening in its front part to allow the exit of the liquid from the inside of the container and a closing device of said opening operable manually against the action of a spring, whose closing device in the rest position closes said opening and upon expiration of the spring action opens said opening.
  • the container is usually closed, preventing the entry of dust or other elements that impair hygiene or the preservation conditions of the packed liquid.
  • the container can be easily opened by overcoming the resistance of the spring.
  • the closing device comprises a groove in the closing zone in which the upper central rib of the container is housed. This provision facilitates the opening of the container and thereby the exit of the liquid contained therein.
  • the front part of the aforementioned opening has a curved profile that adapts to the profile of the front end of the closing device. In this way the section of the opening is increased, also facilitating the exit of the liquid.
  • the aforementioned opening does not occupy the the entire width of the structure that attaches to the upper part of the container, which also facilitates the exit of the liquid.
  • the area of the central groove is made of an elastic material, which prevents the upper central rib from coming out once it has been inserted into said groove.
  • the handle is rotatable with respect to the body of the structure to facilitate its placement in places designed for the dimensions of the package, which have a suitable space for this type of packaging.
  • the handle is closed, presenting a tubular configuration, which prevents dirt from accumulating inside.
  • the device comprises a cutting element, which facilitates the cutting of the nerve formed by the union of the parts that make up the package.
  • the structure that attaches to the container covers at least six of the edges of the container, preferably two of the edges of the base not covered, so as to allow easier cleaning of the base of the structure.
  • the attachable structure covers the entire surface of the container.
  • the structure that attaches to the container comprises an articulated part, which in opening position allows the introduction of the container.
  • This articulated part allows the introduction of the package, in the event that the attachable structure substantially covers the entire surface or comprises an anterior, a posterior and an inferior wall.
  • the articulated part is the upper part of the structure that attaches to the container.
  • at least the side walls of the structure are made of a transparent material, which makes it easy to see the package and identify the liquid contained therein.
  • the structure attachable to the upper part comprises at least an extension downwards in its rear part, so that it covers the entire length of the package, also holding it by its base. This extension prevents the container from detaching itself from the structure and falling to the ground when tilted to pour the liquid contained therein.

  • the device of the invention comprises a structure 2 that is coupled to the upper part of the container 1 and a handle 3.
  • Said structure 2 comprises an opening 5 in its front part to allow the liquid to escape from inside the container 1 and a closing device 6 of said opening 5 manually operable against the action of a spring 7 (figures 4 and 5).
  • the closing device 6 in the rest position closes the opening 5 and when the action of the spring 7 expires, it opens it, as can be seen in Figures 4 and 5.
  • the closing device 6 comprises a central groove 8 in the closing zone in which a central rib 4 of the upper part of the container 1 is housed. This rib 4 is formed by the union of the parts that make up the container 1.
  • the closing device 6 comprises an element 12 provided with a recess 14 in its front part. Said element 12 is movable towards the front part of the closing device 6 and is guided by two grooves 13 located on both sides of the central groove 8.
  • the area of the groove 8 may be of an elastic material to facilitate the accommodation of the central rib 4.

Abstract

Le dispositif comprend une structure (2) qui s'accouple au contenant (1) à sa partie supérieure, ainsi qu'une poignée (3), le contenant (1) présentant à sa partie supérieure une nervure (4) constituée par l'union des parties formant le contenant (1). Le dispositif se caractérise par le fait que la structure (2) qui s'accouple au contenant (1) présente une ouverture (5) dans sa partie frontale pour permettre la sortie de liquide ainsi qu'un dispositif de fermeture (6) actionnable manuellement contre l'action d'un ressort (7), ce dispositif (6) fermant, en position de repos, ladite ouverture (5), et lorsque la résistance du ressort (7) est vaincue, on ouvre ladite ouverture (5). Le dispositif permet de garder le contenant généralement fermé, empêchant l'entrée d'éléments qui pourraient affecter l'hygiène et les conditions de conservation du liquide conditionné. De plus, le contenant peut s'ouvrir facilement en venant à bout de la résistance du ressort.
