Definitions

  • the purpose of the utility model is a screw closure for beverage cans that significantly improves the characteristics and performance of the existing ring and tongue-based closures existing in the cans, also exceeding the state of the existing technique .
  • this innovation develops a screw cap that allows the hermetic seal of the can, preserving all the properties of the beverage, especially in the case of soda, and avoiding accidental spillage or spillage. And being a threaded closure, it allows the container to be opened and closed repeatedly, which in turn allows the user to taste the beverage in a longer period of time.
  • the own technical configuration of the closure composed of three different parts, continues to allow the perfect assembly of one can over another, as is the case with cans with ring and tongue.
  • cans of beverages are formed in a process that, briefly explained, consists of starting a sheet to form the tubular body to which the bottom is added, leaving ready for filling. In a later phase the upper cover is added, in which the opening system is included.
  • Cans have become the most common type of packaging for drinks as they are compact, lightweight, easy to store and transport, resistant, hermetic and perfectly protect the contained liquid.
  • its implementation in the market does not hide some problems. Its long duration It entails a time of storage, and therefore it is a receptacle of dust, dirt etc ... that pose an important risk for the health of consumers, since the liquid is poured into direct contact with the upper part of the can, dragging Possible germs Its ring opening system completely discards the possibility of closing the pouring opening, so that it is forced to an immediate consumption or the risk that the drink loses quality, is poured, etc. is accepted.
  • the tongue and the opening ring have modified its structure, from a tongue that detached from the can to a non-removable tongue that moves and stays inside the can.
  • Protectors have also been added that cover the upper part of the can, avoiding the deposit of dust, but in this case they usually hinder the stacking of the cans.
  • some projects have been developed that propose caps that fit the mouth for the pouring of the liquid, but are pieces superimposed on the can that can hardly be added during the production process.
  • the utility model U200301505 refers to a lid for beverage cans that is shaped as a laminar body prolonged by a perimeter skirt that covers the upper part of the can, so that it prevents the accumulation of dust, but maintains the closure with ring traditional.
  • the utility model U2005003308 develops a closing device for beverage cans that is conceived as a container in which the can is inserted and that is closed with a lid that ensures the tightness of the assembly, Finally, it You can also cite the utility model U9702267 that introduces the concept of threaded closure in the can but does so by modifying the structure of the can, turning it into a bottle, which completely detracts from the concept "can" and the advantages already listed that are implicit to its compact design. Apart from the above, no device similar to the one presented in this utility model is known in the current state of the art.
  • the invention presented in this utility model is intended to provide the beverage can with a closure system that guarantees its tightness, that can re-close the container once opened and that prevents the user from having to apply the lips in an area that could be a focus of health risks.
  • this closure system consists of three different parts that combine to form a threaded closure: the cap itself, an intermediate piece with double thread and a final adjustment piece or nut.
  • This intermediate piece is adjusted and fixed by the compressive action of a nut threaded internally by one end, which is adjusted in the lower thread of the said intermediate piece, while in its opposite part it is hexagonally shaped. In this way, this piece or nut of tightening or fixing is thus positioned within the can.
  • the third piece of the assembly is, properly, the plug that, by means of an internal thread, fits in the upper thread of the intermediate piece already described.
  • This cap incorporates the corresponding sealing means to guarantee the inviolability of the container and the closure, which preferably consist of a skirt or perimeter ring linked, in whole or in part, by various points of union with the bottom edge of the cap and whose part
  • the interior has a channel or rail that allows it to fit with a circular projection of the intermediate piece.
  • the seal of the can can also be formed by means of tabs that bind in a mandatory manner and break some projections when turning the plug in its first opening, or other systems of equal efficiency.
  • the screw thread allows the can to be repeatedly opened and closed, without reducing its effectiveness.
  • the liquid content is kept in perfect quality conditions, especially in soft drinks.
  • the risk of accidental spillage is eliminated, since the closure is sufficiently tight.
  • the risk of contact with dust, bacteria or any other unhealthy element is eliminated, since the liquid leaves directly inside the can, through the intermediate piece that acts as a neck, without touching the outer part of the can at any time .
  • the can is likely to be refilled, since it is not used as a container.
  • the part of the claimed closure system that protrudes from the can, in particular, the plug fits in the concave space existing in the lower part or base of the can, so that the cans can be perfectly stackable, which is essential for storage and transport.
  • the configuration of the threaded closure that is claimed, shaped, as shown in Figure 1 is shown by a set of three pieces, the first being the plug (1) proper, the second, an intermediate piece of double external thread (2), with the ring or seal (17) located between this intermediate piece and the upper part of the can (5), and the third one as a tightening and fixing nut (3) .
  • Figure 2 shows the mode of assembly of these three pieces and their coupling in the can.
  • the can (4) which maintains its usual conformation, has a hole in the center of its upper part (5) in which the intermediate piece (2) is adjusted, as a neck for the pouring of the liquid.
  • This intermediate piece (2) is shaped as a hollow tubular body with two clearly differentiated parts and externally threaded (7) and (8) and with a central perimeter extension (6) as a skirt, which separates both threads and describes a slight inclination, resting on the upper part (5) of the can (4).
  • the piece or tightening nut (3), with internal thread, is adjusted around the lower thread (7) of the intermediate piece (2) or neck, fixing it, while the plug (1), also with internal thread, It fits in the upper thread (8) of the intermediate piece.
  • This ring shows the ring or gasket of tightness (17) - detailed in Figure 3 - which is located in the channel or regatta of the lower part of the perimeter skirt (6) of the intermediate piece (2) and that acts to prevent the loss of gas from the liquid contained in Ia can, adjusting the fit and support of the intermediate piece with the can.
  • This same figure also shows the cap (1) itself, associated with a perimeter piece (10) as a seal of inviolability that also fits the intermediate piece, as described in more detail in other figures.
  • the screw cap (1) is shown in detail, which incorporates an internal thread (9) that will allow its adjustment with the intermediate piece or neck.
  • the cap also incorporates the means of sealing and guarantee of the inviolability of the can, whose breakage is necessary to open the container for the first time.
  • These means are concretized especially in two systems, the first being the one that is expected to be most effective, consisting of a perimeter segment (10) of horizontal plane, similar to a ring, joined totally or partially with various points at the edge of the cap, so that when this is turned, these junction points are broken and the plug is released.
  • This ring (10) has in its interior a conduit or channel (20) in which the circular projection present in the upper part of the perimeter skirt of the intermediate piece sits and accommodates, thereby achieving the coupling and fixing of the seal .
  • Another means of seal is that described in Figure 7, consisting of tabs (11) in solidarity with the same plug (1) and that when it rotates, they run into projections (12) located in the perimeter skirt (6) of The intermediate piece (2), producing the breakage of these and allowing the complete rotation of the cap and the opening of the container.
  • the intermediate part (2) is shown in detail, which is the central axis or connecting link of the set of three pieces that form the claimed closure, and which is structured in a hollow, tubular shape, forming the liquid outlet channel (13), with two external threads, one upper (8) and one lower (7) and a perimeter extension as a slightly inclined skirt (6), so that the upper thread (8), which It is outside the can, acts as a neck for the coupling of the plug (1) while the thread Lower (7), which is located inside the can, will be the coupling point for the fixing and tightening nut (3).
  • the inclined skirt (6) is the seating point of the intermediate piece in the can and incorporates two fundamental characteristics to ensure, as previously mentioned, the inviolability and tightness of the assembly.
