Description
"TAMPA TIPO DISCO ARTICULADO PROVTDA DE DISPOSITIVO DE TRAVAMENTO COM RETORNO AUTOMÁTICO" "ARTICULATED DISC TYPE COVER PROVIDED FROM AUTOMATIC RETURN LOCKING DEVICE"
A presente invenção refere-se a uma tampa provida de trava de segurança pertencente ao campo das embalagens, a qual foi desenvolvida para permitir uma utilização mais segura visando evitar sua abertura indesejada, principalmente por crianças. The present invention relates to a safety locking lid belonging to the field of packaging which has been developed to allow safer use to prevent unwanted opening, especially by children.
Conforme é do conhecimento geral, muitos recipientes que acomodam produtos diversos na forma líquida ou semi-pastosa possuem fechamento superior feito com tampas tipo "disc-top", cujas tampas são constituídas por discos articuláveis como gangorras ao redor de um eixo, de tal modo que a pressão exercida sobre um determinado lado de sua superfície superior automaticamente resulta na elevação da superfície oposta, que geralmente é dotada de canal para escoamento do produto armazenado. Ocorre que tais tampas são de fácil manuseio, o que facilita a abertura por crianças ou outros indivíduos para os quais o acesso ao produto armazenado pode configurar sério risco de ingestão acidental ou de ocorrência de transtornos diversos. Para tentar evitar a abertura indesejada desse tipo de tampa, foi desenvolvida a configuração descrita na patente norte-americana US6.896.160 que apresenta, no corpo principal ou no disco articulado, cavidades horizontais que possibilitam que o disco seja girado até que uma saliência vertical situada em sua face posterior se encaixe em um trilho existente no corpo e, dessa forma, permita a articulação, abertura e remoção do produto armazenado. Apesar da eficiência em dificultar a abertura da embalagem, tal tampa apresenta o sério inconveniente de exigir movimentos voluntários para o seu posterior travamento
após a remoção do produto, de modo que uma eventual distração ou esquecimento do usuário em reposicionar o disco - ou sobretampa - na posição horizontal e/ou girá-lo novamente após o seu fechamento (para impedir a abertura indesejada da tampa) pode acarretar no mesmo risco de acidentes existente em uma tampa convencional desprovida de mecanismos de proteção. As is well known, many containers that accommodate miscellaneous products in liquid or semi-pasty form have top closure made with disc-top lids, the lids of which are made of swiveling discs such as seesaws around such an axis. that the pressure exerted on one side of its upper surface automatically results in the elevation of the opposite surface, which is generally provided with a channel for flow of the stored product. It turns out that such covers are easy to handle, which facilitates opening by children or others for whom access to the stored product may pose a serious risk of accidental ingestion or the occurrence of various disorders. In an attempt to prevent unwanted opening of such a lid, the configuration described in US 6,896,160 has been developed which has horizontal cavities in the main body or hinged disc that enable the disc to be rotated until a vertical protrusion is situated. on its rear face it fits into an existing rail in the body and thus allows the articulation, opening and removal of the stored product. Despite the efficiency in making the package difficult to open, such lid has the serious drawback of requiring voluntary movements for its subsequent locking. after removal of the product, so that any distraction or forgetfulness of the user to reposition the disc - or overcap - in the horizontal position and / or rotate it again after closing it (to prevent unwanted opening of the cover) may result in same risk of accident as a conventional cover without protective mechanisms.
Assim, tendo em vista tais inconvenientes e com o propósito de solucioná-los, foi idealizada e desenvolvida a tampa tipo disco articulado provida de dispositivo de travamento com retorno automático objeto da presente invenção, dotada de haste que se prolonga da borda posterior do disco articulado e cuja extremidade livre se apóia sobre um batente existente no corpo principal da tampa, o qual impede sua abertura pela simples pressão do disco. Cabe salientar que tanto a haste quanto o batente podem apresentar formatos e configurações diversas sem que com isso se fuja do escopo da invenção. Thus, in view of such drawbacks and for the purpose of solving them, the hinged disc-type cover provided with an automatic return locking device object of the present invention, having a rod extending from the rear edge of the hinged disc, has been devised and developed. and whose free end rests against a stop in the main body of the lid, which prevents its opening by the simple pressure of the disc. It should be noted that both the stem and the stop may have different shapes and configurations without departing from the scope of the invention.
Com a solução apresentada, o usuário necessita de suas duas mãos para abrir a embalagem e consequentemente ter acesso ao produto nela contido: uma para segurar o recipiente e exercer pressão lateral sobre a haste de travamento, enquanto a outra deve pressionar o disco para que o mesmo possa se articular assim que a haste se deslocar para a lateral do batente e, portanto, se movimentar no sentido descendente. Ademais, uma grande vantagem do invento reside no fato de a haste de travamento voltar automática e involuntariamente à posição de repouso - ou seja, novamente travado - assim que a sobretampa for fechada. Desta forma, o acesso ao produto armazenado somente é possível após a execução dos procedimentos acima descritos; caso contrário o mecanismo permanecerá constantemente travado impedindo, portanto, a abertura indesejada.
A tampa tipo disco articulado provida de dispositivo de travamento com retorno automático objeto da invenção será ilustrativamente descrita em detalhes com base nos desenhos em anexo, onde: a figura 1 mostra a tampa objeto da invenção em perspectiva explodida, com suas partes constituintes tomadas em separado; a figura 2 mostra a tampa objeto da invenção em perspectiva posterior, devidamente fechada e travada; a figura 3 mostra a tampa objeto da invenção aberta em perspectiva anterior, permitindo visualizar o duto de saída do produto; a figura 4 mostra a tampa objeto da invenção aberta em perspectiva posterior, permitindo visualizar o posicionamento da haste de travamento com a sobretampa aberta; as figuras 5.1 e 5.2 mostram a tampa objeto da invenção fechada, respectivamente em elevação e em corte longitudinal; as figuras 6.1 e 6.2 mostram a tampa objeto da invenção aberta, respectivamente em elevação e em corte longitudinal ; a figura 7 mostra a tampa objeto da invenção em elevação posterior; a figura 8 mostra a tampa objeto da invenção em vista lateral com as partes constituintes tomadas em separado;
a figura 9 mostra a tampa objeto da invenção travada em vista superior; e, a figura 10 mostra a tampa objeto da invenção travada em vista inferior. With the solution presented, the user needs both hands to open the package and consequently have access to the product contained therein: one to hold the container and exert lateral pressure on the locking rod, while the other must press the disc so that the it can even pivot as soon as the rod moves to the side of the stop and thus moves downward. Moreover, a major advantage of the invention is that the locking rod automatically and involuntarily returns to the rest position - that is, again locked - as soon as the overcap is closed. Thus, access to the stored product is only possible after performing the procedures described above; otherwise the mechanism will remain constantly locked thus preventing unwanted opening. The hinged disk-type cover provided with the self-return locking device object of the invention will be illustratively described in detail based on the accompanying drawings, where: Figure 1 shows the exploded perspective object cover with its constituent parts taken separately ; Figure 2 shows the lid object of the invention in rear perspective, properly closed and locked; Figure 3 shows the lid object of the invention opened in anterior perspective, allowing to view the product outlet duct; Figure 4 shows the lid object of the invention opened in rear perspective, showing the positioning of the locking rod with the open overcap; Figures 5.1 and 5.2 show the closed lid of the invention, respectively in elevation and longitudinal section; Figures 6.1 and 6.2 show the open lid object of the invention, respectively in elevation and longitudinal section; Figure 7 shows the lid object of the invention in later elevation; Figure 8 shows the lid object of the invention in side view with the constituent parts taken separately; Figure 9 shows the lid object of the invention locked in top view; and Figure 10 shows the lid object of the invention locked in bottom view.
