OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La invención, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, se refiere a una tapa para latas de bebida, aportando a la función a que se destina varias ventajas e innovadoras características, que se describirán en detalle más adelante, las cuales suponen una destacable mejora frente a lo ya conocido en este campo.The invention, as stated in the present specification, refers to a lid for beverage cans, contributing to the function to which several advantages and innovative features are intended, which will be described in detail below, which represent a Remarkable improvement compared to what is already known in this field.
Más en particular, el objeto de la invención se centra en una tapa especialmente diseñada para ser aplicada sobre las latas de bebida, y cuya finalidad consiste en configurarse como un elemento de protección de la parte superior de la lata ante cualquier tipo de contaminación que esta pueda sufrir para permitir al usuario beber directamente de ella sin riesgo antihigiénico, sirviendo, además para evitar el derrame o desgasificado, en su caso, del contenido de la lata una vez abierta, hasta su total consumición.More particularly, the object of the invention is centered on a lid specially designed to be applied on the beverage cans, and whose purpose is to be configured as a protection element of the upper part of the can against any type of contamination that this may suffer to allow the user to drink directly from it without unhygienic risk, also serving to prevent spillage or degassing, where appropriate, of the contents of the can once opened, until its total consumption.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En la actualidad, y como referencia al estado de la técnica, debe señalarse que son conocidos diversos sistemas para proteger la parte superior de las latas de bebidas, en orden a mantener dicha parte limpia y protegida. Sin embargo dicho tipo de sistemas suelen consistir en películas de material plástico que cubre la parte superior, la mitad superior o la totalidad de la lata y que, una vez abiertos, son desechables, sin que sirvan ya para la protección de la lata o de su contenido, una vez abierta.At present, and as a reference to the state of the art, it should be noted that various systems are known to protect the top of the beverage cans, in order to keep said part clean and protected. However, such systems usually consist of plastic films that covers the upper part, the upper half or the whole of the can and that, once opened, are disposable, without already serving for the protection of the can or its contents, once opened.
Por otra parte, se conocen varios tipos de tapones o sistemas para tapar el orificio de la lata, una vez abierta, sin embargo, por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ningún tipo de tapa para latas de bebida que presente unas características técnicas, estructurales y de configuración semejantes a las que presente la que aquí se preconiza.On the other hand, several types of caps or systems are known to cover the hole of the can, once opened, however, by the applicant, the existence of any type of lid for beverage cans that has technical characteristics is unknown. , structural and configuration similar to those presented here.
EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNEXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
Así, pues, la tapa para latas de bebida que la presente invención propone se configura por sí misma como una evidente novedad dentro de su campo de aplicación, ya que, a tenor de su creación, con ella se consigue tanto un sistema eficaz y práctico de protección para las latas de bebida durante su período de almacenamiento y transporte, como un sistema igualmente eficaz y práctico para mantener y proteger el contenido de la lata una vez abierta, estando los detalles caracterizadores que lo hacen posible y que la distinguen, adecuadamente recogidos en las reivindicaciones finales que acompañan a la presente memoria descriptiva.Thus, the lid for beverage cans that the present invention proposes is configured by itself as an obvious novelty within its field of application, since, according to its creation, both an effective and practical system is achieved of protection for beverage cans during their storage and transport period, as an equally effective and practical system to maintain and protect the contents of the can once opened, being the characterizing details that make it possible and that distinguish it, properly collected in the final claims that accompany the present specification.
En concreto, la tapa para latas de bebida preconizada se configura a partir de un cuerpo de material plástico, que puede ser transparente o de cualquier color, el cual está dotado de una configuración circular plana, de dimensiones acordes para acoplarse sobre el borde superior de la base superior de la lata, de manera que se ajusta sobresaliendo ligeramente por encima de ella, contando con un faldón lateral que, interiormente incorpora un regruesamiento .Specifically, the lid for cans of recommended beverage is configured from a body of plastic material, which can be transparent or of any color, which is provided with a flat circular configuration, of appropriate dimensions to engage on the upper edge of the upper base of the can, so that it fits by protruding slightly above it, with a side skirt that internally incorporates a thickening.
Hay que destacar que las dimensiones de dicho faldón y el posicionado de dicho regruesamiento son tales que se adaptan y acoplan al citado borde superior de la base superior de la lata permitiendo el cierre a presión de la tapa.It should be noted that the dimensions of said skirt and the positioning of said thickening are such that they are adapted and coupled to said upper edge of the upper base of the can, allowing the lid to be closed under pressure.
Adicionalmente, el citado cuerpo circular presenta una lengüeta lateral para facilitar su apertura.Additionally, said circular body has a side tab for easy opening.
La descrita tapa para latas de bebida representa, pues, una innovación de características estructurales y constitutivas desconocidas hasta ahora para tal fin, razones que unidas a su utilidad práctica, la dotan de fundamento suficiente para obtener el privilegio de exclusividad que se solicita.The described beverage can lid represents, therefore, an innovation of structural and constitutive characteristics unknown until now for this purpose, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.
