The present invention has been developed in order to provide a clamping arrangement that resolves the aforementioned drawbacks, also providing additional advantages that will be apparent from the description that follows.
Es por lo tanto un objeto de la presente invención proporcionar una disposición de sujeción para envases extraibles, del tipo que comprende un cuerpo central en el que los envases se disponen de forma matricial en ambos lados del cuerpo central, habiéndose provisto unos medios de fijación independientes entre el cuerpo central y cada uno de los envases, y se caracteriza por el hecho de que los medios de fijación comprenden una pestaña que sobresale lateralmente del cuerpo central que presenta un perfil sensiblemente en forma de "U" acoplable por un relación de encaje a presión a una porción de bisagra que forma parte de un conjunto de tapa-anillo inferior provisto en el envase, por lo que se obtiene un modo de transporte y protección de envases de tipo lata alternativo frente a los sistemas conocidos en la técnica que es constructivamente sencillo y fácil de utilizar por el usuario. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a clamping arrangement for removable packages, of the type comprising a central body in which the packages are arranged matrixally on both sides of the central body, independent fixing means having been provided. between the central body and each of the packages, and is characterized by the fact that the fixing means comprise a flange that protrudes laterally from the central body that has a substantially "U" shaped profile that can be coupled by a fitting relationship to pressure to a hinge portion that is part of a lower cover-ring assembly provided in the package, whereby a mode of transport and protection of alternative can-type packages is obtained against systems known in the art which is constructively Simple and easy to use by the user.
Según otro aspecto no menos importante de la invención, la porción de bisagra presenta un reborde que sobresale de tal modo que en una condición de ensamblaje de los envases, hace tope con
un tramo interior de la pestaña tal que impide un movimiento de giro de la tapa superior respecto al anillo inferior. According to another no less important aspect of the invention, the hinge portion has a flange that protrudes in such a way that in a condition of assembly of the containers, it abuts with an inner section of the flange such that it prevents a turning movement of the upper cover with respect to the lower ring.
Gracias a estas características, se evita la apertura no deseada de las tapas respecto al anillo inferior mientras los envases con sus respectivos elementos protectores (tapa-anillo inferior) están acoplados a la disposición de sujeción que permite el apilamiento ordenado de los envases en una sola agrupación. Thanks to these characteristics, the unwanted opening of the covers with respect to the lower ring is avoided while the containers with their respective protective elements (lower cover-ring) are coupled to the clamping arrangement that allows the orderly stacking of the packages in a single group.
Realizaciones particulares de la invención se describen en la reivindicaciones dependientes. Particular embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.
De forma ventajosa, el cuerpo central presenta una serie de nervios de refuerzo dispuestos de forma perpendicular y longitudinalmente respecto al eje alargado de dicho cuerpo central, los cuales aportan una mayor rigidez a la estructura de la disposición de sujeción. Advantageously, the central body has a series of reinforcement ribs arranged perpendicularly and longitudinally with respect to the elongated axis of said central body, which provide greater rigidity to the structure of the clamping arrangement.
Según otro aspecto de la invención, los dos extremos opuestos del cuerpo central comprenden unos medios de enganche para acoplarse tales extremos entre sí. De esta manera, puede darse otra utilidad del cuerpo central cuando no es utilizado para los envases, como por ejemplo, a modo de pulsera decorativa. According to another aspect of the invention, the two opposite ends of the central body comprise engagement means for engaging such ends with each other. In this way, another utility of the central body can be given when it is not used for packaging, such as as a decorative bracelet.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE UNA REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Tal como se muestra en la figura 1, un elemento protector para envases 1 está constituido por una tapa superior 2 y un anillo inferior 3 acoplado a la pared lateral del envase 1, estando las dos partes anteriores unidas por una porción de bisagra 4 que facilita la operación de apertura y cierre de la tapa superior 2 de una forma cómoda y sencilla para el usuario. As shown in Figure 1, a protective element for containers 1 is constituted by an upper cover 2 and a lower ring 3 coupled to the side wall of the container 1, the two front parts being joined by a hinge portion 4 which facilitates the opening and closing operation of the upper cover 2 in a convenient and simple way for the user.
Tal como se aprecia en la figura 2, la invención proporciona una disposición de sujeción que permite el transporte de envases extraibles, comprendiendo un cuerpo central 5 alargado y de poco espesor hecho, preferentemente de un material plástico moldeable por inyección y de tipo biodegradable con una base de polietileno o polipropileno juntamente con una serie de aditivos que favorecen
la oxobiodegradación de manera que se obtiene una degradación de manera natural . As can be seen in Figure 2, the invention provides a fastening arrangement that allows the transport of removable containers, comprising an elongated and low-thickness central body 5, preferably made of an injection moldable and biodegradable plastic material with a polyethylene or polypropylene base together with a series of additives that favor the oxobiodegradation so that degradation is obtained naturally.
El cuerpo central 5 presenta un diseño que permite que los envases 1 se dispongan de forma matricial en ambos lados del cuerpo central (por ejemplo, tres envases por cada hilera) durante la condición de empaquetamiento, habiéndose provisto además unos medios de fijación independientes que se describen más adelante entre el cuerpo 5 y cada uno de los envases 1. The central body 5 has a design that allows the containers 1 to be arranged in a matrix manner on both sides of the central body (for example, three containers per row) during the packing condition, in addition to having independent fixing means provided described below between body 5 and each of the packages 1.
Haciendo particular referencia a los medios de fijación que se disponen a lo largo del cuerpo central 5 comprenden para un respectivo envase una pestaña 6 que sobresale lateralmente del cuerpo central 5 presentando un perfil sensiblemente en forma de "U" acoplable mediante una relación de encaje a presión a la porción de bisagra 4 que forma parte del conjunto tapa-anillo inferior provisto en el envase 1. With particular reference to the fixing means that are arranged along the central body 5, they comprise for a respective package a flange 6 protruding laterally from the central body 5 presenting a substantially "U" shaped profile that can be coupled by means of a fitting relationship to pressure to the hinge portion 4 that is part of the lower cover-ring assembly provided in the container 1.
Como puede verse más claramente en las figuras 3 a 5, dicha pestaña 6 incluye un resalte 9 que sobresale en sentido ascendente de la cara superior curvada en forma de "U" insertable en un alojamiento 8 provisto en la porción de bisagra 4 vinculada a la citada tapa superior 2, teniendo dicho resalte 9 una altura inferior respecto a la altura de la pared de la pestaña 6. Además, se proporciona una superficie de apoyo 10 plana y de poca anchura que está definida en el reborde superior de la aleta más interior de la pestaña 6 sobre la cual descansa una protuberancia 11 presente en la porción de bisagra 4, más concretamente la parte vinculada a la tapa superior 2.
Ventajosamente, el resalte 9 forma parte íntegra de la pestaña 6 por lo que se obtiene en la misma etapa del procedimiento de moldeo por inyección del cuerpo central 5. As can be seen more clearly in Figures 3 to 5, said flange 6 includes a shoulder 9 protruding upwardly from the curved upper face in a "U" shape inserted into a housing 8 provided in the hinge portion 4 linked to the said upper cover 2, said projection 9 having a lower height with respect to the height of the flange wall 6. In addition, a flat and low-width support surface 10 is provided which is defined in the upper flange of the innermost fin of the flange 6 on which rests a protuberance 11 present in the hinge portion 4, more specifically the part linked to the upper cover 2. Advantageously, the projection 9 forms an integral part of the flange 6, so that it is obtained at the same stage of the injection molding process of the central body 5.
En ambos lados opuestos de cada pestaña 6 sobresalen del cuerpo central 5 unos ganchos 12 acoplables a la porción bisagra 4 cuando el conjunto tapa superior 2-anillo inferior 3 está montado en el cuerpo central 5. En la presente disposición, se acoplan dos ganchos 12, uno en cada extremo de la porción de bisagra 4. On both opposite sides of each flange 6 protruding from the central body 5 hooks 12 attachable to the hinge portion 4 when the upper cover assembly 2-lower ring 3 is mounted on the central body 5. In this arrangement, two hooks 12 are coupled , one at each end of the hinge portion 4.
Para llevar a cabo la extracción de las latas respecto al cuerpo central 5 se realiza simplemente girando el envase aproximadamente un ángulo de 90 grados en dirección hacia el cuerpo central 5 de modo que vence la fuerza elástica ejercida por la pestaña 6 sobre la porción de bisagra 4 y al mismo tiempo el resalte 9 se desacopla del eje de la porción de bisagra 4 y la protuberancia 11 se separa de la superficie de apoyo 10 produciendo en ese instante un sonido tipo "clic". In order to carry out the extraction of the cans with respect to the central body 5, it is simply done by rotating the container approximately 90 degrees in the direction towards the central body 5 so that the elastic force exerted by the flange 6 on the hinge portion is overcome 4 and at the same time the projection 9 is disengaged from the axis of the hinge portion 4 and the protuberance 11 is separated from the support surface 10 producing at that moment a "click" sound.
Adicionalmente, el cuerpo central 5 presenta unos nervios de refuerzo 7 dispuestos de forma perpendicular y longitudinalmente respecto al eje alargado de dicho cuerpo central 5 así como un par de orificios 13 que facilitan el agarre del conjunto ya que el usuario puede pasar los dedos a través de dichos orificios 13 y transportar el pack de una forma cómoda. Tales orificios 13 están ubicados en los espacios existentes entre los envases 1 cuando están dispuestos de forma matricial aprovechando las formas curvadas de tales envases. En una realización no mostrada, cabe la posibilidad de que se proporcionen un asa o asas extraíbles.
Cabe la posibilidad de que el cuerpo central 5 presente en los dos extremos libres unos medios de enganche que permiten transformar el cuerpo central 5 en una pulsera que puede colocarse el usuario en el brazo y ser cerrada mediante los medios de enganche. Tales medios de enganche pueden ser de tipo clipaje o por encaje a presión. Additionally, the central body 5 has reinforcing ribs 7 arranged perpendicularly and longitudinally with respect to the elongated axis of said central body 5 as well as a pair of holes 13 that facilitate the grip of the assembly since the user can pass the fingers through of said holes 13 and transport the pack in a comfortable way. Such holes 13 are located in the spaces between the containers 1 when they are arranged in a matrix way taking advantage of the curved shapes of such containers. In an embodiment not shown, it is possible that a handle or removable handles are provided. It is possible that the central body 5 has two hooking means on the two free ends which allow the central body 5 to be transformed into a bracelet that the user can place on the arm and be closed by means of the hooking means. Such coupling means can be of the clipping type or by snap fit.
