TAPÓN VERTEDOR PARA LÍQUIDOS VISCOSOS BUCKET PLUG FOR VISCOSE LIQUIDS
MEMORIA DESCRJJBTQ£AMEMORY DESCRJJBTQ £ A
La presente invención se refiere a un tapón vertedor para líquidos viscosos que presenta sensibles características de novedad y de actividad inventiva sobre los tapones vertedores actualmente conocidos.The present invention relates to a pouring stopper for viscous liquids having sensitive characteristics of novelty and inventive activity on the currently known pouring caps.
El tapón vertedor objeto de la presente invención es especialmente aplicable a recipientes que contienen líquidos viscosos tales como aceites vegetales, si bien ello no constituye limitación específica.The pouring plug object of the present invention is especially applicable to containers containing viscous liquids such as vegetable oils, although this does not constitute a specific limitation.
En la actualidad, los recipientes que contienen aceites vegetales, y similares, fabricados en materiales plásticos de tipo diverso, se expenden al público dotados de tapones que permiten su apertura y cierre repetidos para el vertido dosificado del aceite u otro líquido en aceiteras u otros recipientes de utilización manual. Dichos tapones presentan de modo habitual un elemento interno que guía y regularización del flujo del líquido en su salida o vertido, un precinto interno cuya rotura se debe efectuar antes de utilizar el líquido contenido en dicho recipiente y una caperuza o tapa exterior de cierre que puede ser roscada o de otro tipo. Por lo tanto, la utilización de dichos recipientes comprende la retirada inicial de la caperuza de cierre, rotura del precinto y posterior utilización, volviendo a cerrar el recipiente mediante la caperuza de cierre hasta una nueva utilización. Sin embargo, la utilización repetida del recipiente en diferentes operaciones de vertido después de sacar la caperuza de cierre representa un sensible inconveniente por los vertidos que se producen, con las consiguientes pérdidas de líquido y ensuciamiento.Currently, containers containing vegetable oils, and the like, made of plastic materials of various types, are sold to the public with caps that allow repeated opening and closing for the dosed pouring of oil or other liquid into oilers or other containers of manual use. Said plugs usually have an internal element that guides and regulates the flow of the liquid at its outlet or discharge, an internal seal whose break must be made before using the liquid contained in said container and an outer cap or cap that can be closed. Be threaded or otherwise. Therefore, the use of said containers comprises the initial removal of the closing cap, rupture of the seal and subsequent use, re-closing the container by means of the closing cap until a new use. However, the repeated use of the container in different pouring operations after removing the closure cap represents a sensitive inconvenient for the spills that occur, with the consequent losses of liquid and fouling.
El tapón vertedor objeto de la presente invención está destinado a solucionar los inconvenientes antes citados, evitando las pérdidas de líquido y el ensuciamiento que usualmente tiene lugar en los tapones vertedores actualmente conocidos.The pouring plug object of the present invention is intended to solve the aforementioned drawbacks, avoiding the loss of liquid and fouling that usually takes place in the currently known pouring caps.
La presente invención se basa fundamentalmente en la constitución de un pico vertedor en el conjunto formado por el tapón de cierre y su caperuza, con una pequeña salida para el líquido que contiene el recipiente, presentando el tapón medios de cierre que efectúan el cierre tanto de la abertura principal del tapón como del pico vertedor. Mediante esta disposición, se posibilita la utilización del recipiente de forma que solamente se debe abrir la tapa superior de acceso al precinto una vez para efectuar la rotura del mismo, mientras que en las utilizaciones posteriores no es necesario sacar el tapón nuevamente sino solamente levantar la tapa del vertedor para permitir la salida del líquido volviéndola a cerrar después de haber efectuado el vertido de éste. De todos modos, una característica esencial consiste en el hecho de que al disponer el tapón de cierre de un pico vertedor con una salida fina o de pequeña capacidad de vertido, es posible utilizar el recipiente que contiene el líquido viscoso directamente en aplicaciones domésticas, por ejemplo, para el vertido del aceite en los diferentes recipientes o platos en preparación, lo cual permite suprimir la utilización de recipientes intermedios, tal como las tradicionales aceiteras. La realización precisa del tapón podrá admitir amplias variantes cumpliendo con las características anteriormente citadas. Así, por ejemplo, el tapón podrá presentar un cuerpo acoplable al gollete de la botella dotado de una zona lateral apuntada de vertido o pico vertedor abierto superiormente, quedando cerrado por una tapa asociada al cuerpo del tapón que simultáneamente cierra el paso principal de comunicación con el recipiente. En otras variantes, la tapa puede comportar una zona articulada de cierre del pico vertedor, existiendo una comunicación directa entre la parte superior del tapón y el recipiente que contiene el líquido con lo que no es necesario abrir la tapa del tapón para cada vertido individual por el pico vertedor o vertido fino, es decir, en el caso de la aplicación doméstica no será necesario quitar la tapa cada vez que se deba efectuar el vertido del líquido.The present invention is based fundamentally on the constitution of a spout in the assembly formed by the closure cap and its cap, with a small outlet for the liquid contained in the container, the cap presenting closing means that effect the closure of both the main opening of the cap as of the pouring spout. By means of this arrangement, it is possible to use the container so that only the upper access cover to the seal must be opened once to break it, while in subsequent uses it is not necessary to remove the cap again but only to lift the lid of the pourer to allow the liquid to exit again by closing it after having poured it. In any case, an essential feature consists in the fact that by arranging the closure plug of a spout with a fine outlet or small discharge capacity, it is possible to use the container containing the viscous liquid directly in domestic applications, by For example, for the pouring of oil into the different containers or dishes in preparation, which allows the use of intermediate containers, such as traditional oil ones, to be suppressed. The precise realization of the cap may admit wide variants complying with the aforementioned characteristics. Thus, for example, the cap may have a body that can be attached to the neck of the bottle provided with a pointed lateral spout or upper spout, being closed by a cap associated with the body of the cap that simultaneously closes the main communication step with the recipient. In other variants, the lid can have an articulated area of closure of the spout, there is a direct communication between the upper part of the cap and the container containing the liquid, so it is not necessary to open the cap of the cap for each individual discharge by the spout or fine spout, that is to say, in the case of domestic application, it will not be necessary to remove the lid every time the liquid must be poured.
En una variante constructiva de la presente invención se prevé la constitución estructural de la zona de vertido fino con una zona de ensanchamiento escalonado previo al reborde de salida de líquido, de manera que el pico vertedor comprende, en conjunto, una zona de vertido correspondiente a la presente invención pero eventualmente de menor longitud relativa con respecto a las dimensiones del tapón y que se caracteriza porque cerca de la zona de salida de líquido presenta una parte escalonada que determina preferentemente una zona recta en el extremo que es susceptible de producir la interrupción brusca y segura del chorro de vertido evitando todo tipo de goteo.In a constructive variant of the present invention, the structural constitution of the fine pouring zone with a stepped widening zone prior to the liquid outlet flange is provided, so that the pouring spout collectively comprises a pouring zone corresponding to the present invention but possibly of shorter relative length with respect to the dimensions of the cap and characterized in that near the liquid outlet zone it has a stepped part that preferably determines a straight zone at the end that is capable of causing the sudden interruption and safe from the discharge stream avoiding all types of dripping.

Tal como se aprecia en las figuras, el tapón vertedor objeto de la presente invención comprende, de modo habitual, un cuerpo -1- acoplado de modo fijo al extremo superior del gollete -2- de la botella o recipiente -3-, presentando una zona intermedia -4- destinada a la regularización del flujo de salida del líquido y una tapa de precinto intermedia -5- dotada de asa superior -6- para facilitar su desgarro. Una caperuza superior -7- queda acoplada al cuerpo -1- del tapón de forma desmontable, por ejemplo mediante una zona roscada -8-, permitiendo el desmontaje de la caperuza -7- a efectos del vertido del líquido de forma convencional. De acuerdo con la invención, la caperuza -7- presenta un pico vertedor lateral -9- que presenta anchura decreciente desde su arranque hasta el extremo de vertido, que tiene una salida de reducida sección -10-, dotada de labio inferior -11- antigoteo. Esta realización permite la utilización del tapón tanto en vertido normal de tipo convencional como para un vertido fino similar al de una aceitera de cocina, permitiendo efectuar este vertido fino sin necesidad de trasvasar el líquido del recipiente -3- a una aceitera, u otro recipiente intermedio, tal como es habitual en la actualidad.As can be seen in the figures, the pouring plug object of the present invention usually comprises a body -1- fixedly coupled to the upper end of the neck -2- of the bottle or container -3-, presenting a intermediate zone -4- intended for the regularization of the flow of liquid outflow and an intermediate seal cover -5- equipped with a top handle -6- to facilitate its tearing. A top cap -7- is coupled to the body -1- of the cap detachably, for example by means of a threaded area -8-, allowing the cap -7 to be disassembled for the purpose of pouring the liquid in a conventional manner. According to the invention, the cap -7- has a lateral pouring spout -9- that has decreasing width from its start to the pouring end, which has a reduced section outlet -10-, provided with a lower lip -11- anti-drip This embodiment allows the cap to be used both in normal conventional pouring and for a fine pouring similar to that of a cooking oiler, allowing this fine pouring without the need to transfer the liquid from the container -3- to an oiler, or other container intermediate, as is usual today.
En la versión representada la tapa superior -12- que cierra la caperuza presentará una expansión radial -13- que coincide superiormente con la zona apuntada -9-, efectuando su cierre y presentando preferentemente un reborde frontal -14- ajustable contra el extremo de dicho pico vertedor -9-, efectuando el cierre del mismo. En este caso, la tapa superior -12- presenta un cuerpo cilindrico interno o faldón -15- que ajusta contra las paredes interiores de la parte cilindrica de la caperuza -7-, de forma que al cerrar la tapa -12- se consigue simultáneamente el cierre del paso del recipiente -3- hacia el exterior y el cierre de la parte superior del pico vertedor -9-. De este modo, al efectuar la apertura de la tapa -12-, por ejemplo basculando sobre la charnela posterior -16-, el tapón permitirá tanto el vertido de forma convencional como un vertido fino por el pico vertedor, tal como se aprecia en la figura 5, habiéndose indicado el flujo de vertido con el numeral -17-.In the version shown, the top cover -12- that closes the hood will have a radial expansion -13- that coincides superiorly with the pointed area -9-, closing it and preferably presenting a front flange -14- adjustable against the end of said pouring spout -9-, closing it.
