DESCRIPCIÓN DETALLADA DE LA INVENCIÓNDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Los elementos designados con números en los dibujos corresponden a las partes indicadas a continuación. El protector objeto de esta patente consiste en un cuerpo laminar 1 de forma preferentemente circularThe elements designated with numbers in the drawings correspond to the parts indicated below. The protector object of this patent consists of a laminar body 1 of preferably circular shape
(aunque también podría ser de otra forma) , hecho de un material fácilmente deformable, tal como, por ejemplo, cartulina, plástico o metal. En su periferia, el cuerpo 1 presenta una pluralidad de cortes radiales 2 de forma ventajosamente angular, con sus vértices dirigidos hacia el centro de la pieza.(although it could also be otherwise), made of an easily deformable material, such as, for example, cardboard, plastic or metal. In its periphery, the body 1 has a plurality of radial cuts 2 advantageously angular, with its vertices directed towards the center of the piece.
Asimismo, el cuerpo 1 presenta unos cortes curvilíneos 3, concéntricos con los bordes del propio cuerpo y a una distancia de éstos similar a la longitud de los cortes radiales 2.Likewise, the body 1 has curvilinear cuts 3, concentric with its own edges body and at a distance from them similar to the length of the radial cuts 2.
El bote 4 es del tipo conocido que presenta como remate de su cuerpo cilindrico una zona 5 de forma troncocónica y un reborde concéntrico 6. COLOCACIÓN Y UTILIZACIÓN DEL DISPOSITIVOThe boat 4 is of the known type that has as an end of its cylindrical body an area 5 with a conical shape and a concentric flange 6. PLACEMENT AND USE OF THE DEVICE
El protector descrito se coloca sobre un bote de bebida como sigue:The described protector is placed on a beverage can as follows:
El disco 1 se coloca superpuesto centradamente al reborde 6 (con lo cual protegerá la zona central de la base superior del cuerpo 4) , y así las zonas periféricas 7 definidas por los cortes 3 quedan salientes respecto al propio reborde. Seguidamente se aplica a dichas zonas 7 un ligero esfuerzo, que provoca su flexión hacia abajo, facilitada por las entallas radiales 2. Los cortes 3 quedan con sus lados inferiores situados por debajo del reborde 6, con el resultado de que el disco 1 permanece acoplado al cuerpo 4 del bote . La zona troncocónica 5, que también recibe la aplicación de los labios del usuario, resulta protegida por las zonas 7 sobresalientes y queda al abrigo respecto al polvo y otras materias .The disc 1 is placed superimposed centrally to the flange 6 (thereby protecting the central area of the upper base of the body 4), and thus the peripheral areas 7 defined by the cuts 3 are protruding from the flange itself. A slight effort is then applied to said zones 7, which causes its downward bending, facilitated by the radial notches 2. The cuts 3 remain with their lower sides located below the flange 6, with the result that the disc 1 remains coupled to body 4 of the boat. The truncated conical zone 5, which also receives the application of the user's lips, is protected by the protruding zones 7 and is protected from dust and other materials.
El dispositivo descrito, cuando interesa consumir el contenido del bote, se separa con toda facilidad, aplicando un ligero esfuerzo en el sentido de levantar las aletas formadas por las zonas periféricas 7.The device described, when interested in consuming the contents of the boat, separates easily, applying a slight effort in the sense of lift the fins formed by the peripheral areas 7.
El propio dispositivo puede constituir además, un excelente vehículo publicitario, pues en una o en sus dos caras puede comportar logotipos e inscripciones alusivas al producto contenido o a otros productos y servicios .The device itself can also constitute an excellent advertising vehicle, since on one or both sides it can involve logos and inscriptions alluding to the contained product or other products and services.
El número de entallas 2 y cortes 3 puede variarse a tenor de las dimensiones del disco 1 y del bote 4. The number of notches 2 and cuts 3 can be varied according to the dimensions of disc 1 and canister 4.
