Definitions
- the present invention relates to a packaging for liquids, the fundamental characteristic of which is the fact that its height to width ratio is essentially the opposite of known packagings, i.e. this new packaging should be used "lying down” with a parallelepiped configuration and its upper surface, which is essentially rectangular, is equipped with a device that allows the liquid to be absorbed from inside the container in a hygienic manner without any contact between the user's lips and the external parts of the packaging.
- the known packagings with the same height to width ratio are not very stable, since their base is generally circular. Also, by virtue of the means which they normally include for absorption of the liquid contained inside them, they do not allow the user to drink the liquid without encountering problems, since it is normal for leakages to occur from time to time, which generally cause undesired spillage of the liquid.
- straws are already used to drink the liquid contained inside packagings with various formats. However, these means are not incorporated into the packaging itself (the straw is stored outside of the packaging, although it is attached thereto), or if they do form part of the packaging they are similar to a "straw”.
- the present invention presents a packaging with a very simple and economic design which permits hygienic use by means of a parallelepiped configuration in a "lying down" position, has improved stability and guarantees comfortable use without any type of problems.
- its main characteristics are the following:
- This type of packaging also provides for the incorporation of a gift, also placed inside, which can be easily removed after the liquid has been drunk.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view in cross-section of an embodiment of the invention, with the absorption means in position for use;
- FIG. 2 shows a main elevation of the packaging represented in figure 1, but with the absorption means withdrawn.
- the packaging 1 has a body 2 with a rectangular parallelepiped configuration, both the lower and the upper surfaces having a rim, 12 and 13 respectively, the function of which will be explained later on.
- the rectangular base is formed by the totally flat outer lower surface 8 in order to ensure good stability and by an internal bottom formed by two planes inclined towards the centre of the lower surface, which allows all the liquid to be used when absorbed by the absorption means 7.
- the upper surface 10 has a central area 4 with a circular opening 5, which is surrounded by a brittle area 14. This opening is duly closed off by the cover 6 before use.
- the packaging is opened by removing the cover 6, by activating a ring 11 which is set in the upper surface of the cover. Attached using appropriate means to the inner surface of the cover 6 are the means for absorbing the liquid consisting of a telescopic tube 7.
- the absorption means i.e. the telescopic tube 7, which is duly attached to the cover 6, is removed from the inside of the packaging, thus allowing the user, after separating it from the cover 6, to chose the appropriate height of the absorption means and calmly drink the liquid as hygienically as possible.
- This tube can be made of a flexible or rigid plastic material.
- the side surfaces contain ergonomic recesses 17 in order to make it easier to hold the packaging.
- the dimensions of the telescopic tube 7 are appropriate for the type of packaging, thus guaranteeing the complete drainage of the liquid by virtue of its suitable height, with its lower end in the central area of the packaging formed by the two inclined planes 3.
- the aforementioned absorption means 7 consist of telescopic tubular sections 15, 16, which have a diameter appropriate to the opening. In order to guarantee the height necessary in order to completely drain the liquid, the telescopic tube 7, through the first section 15, must necessarily be close to the bottom of the packaging.
- This packaging can also contain a gift which the user will remove after drinking all the liquid.
- This gift can be placed at the bottom of the packaging, as shown in the figures.
- This gift which is duly stored and protected from contact with the liquid and is placed at the bottom of the packaging, can also be partially placed outside the actual base formed by the two planes 3, i.e. slightly protruding in relation to the lower outer surface 8, but in any case below the height of the rim 13.
- the gift can be accessed by breaking the brittle area 14.
- the rim 12 guarantees that the cover 6 of the opening 5 for gaining access to the liquid does not go beyond the total height of the packaging.
- this packaging has improved stability as it has a good supporting base. Furthermore, the fact that it includes means for absorbing the liquid which are incorporated inside the actual packaging guarantees total hygiene when it is used.
- the absorption means can consist of one, two or more sections, depending on the height intended for the absorption tube, thus guaranteeing a length adequate for its functions.
- the gifts can also be placed in a different position to the one which is described, for example at the bottom but resting against one of the side walls.
- Various types of materials can also be used, from traditional materials such as cardboard and metal to others such as plastic and glass, obviously with the necessary alterations.
