Definitions

  • the main application of the present invention is in the industrial sector dedicated to the manufacture of plastic containers or other materials, such as for example aluminum, oriented to the distribution of beverages, powdery products or viscous fluids.

  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide a sealed and user-friendly package.
  • beverage containers are not only constructed in the form of bottles, but also the typical metal and disposable cans provided at the top of a liquid outlet for consumption, configured as an area, are also on the market. weakened and frangible by different methods.
  • the biggest drawback of these classic soda cans is that, in the event that the consumer does not deplete the contents of the boat at once, he does not have the possibility of recovering the safe closing of the boat to store the drink in order to continue drinking at another time or situation.
  • the invention conceived here is an effective solution to the problem of the impossibility of recovering the closure in the classic boats and with which a tight seal is achieved.
  • 2007/085674 which discloses a container with a lid similar to that of the present invention but which has been found to entail many problems in the industrial processes of manufacturing and placing the lid on the corresponding container.
  • the problem of said invention is that during the assembly process when the lid is dropped for placement in the container, each lid falls in a different way. Some of the lids fall face down, so they can be placed directly on the container, but others fall face up, so it is necessary to turn them over before placing them in the container. The biggest problem is that the caps fall face down or face up randomly.
  • Another important advantage of the present container with a sealed lid is that it incorporates at the top of the container, near the mouth of the container, some flanges that serve to hold the container when it is transported from one point to another in the factory. During this transport of the container it is closed by means of the corresponding lid.
  • the important advantage of incorporating these flanges at the top to be able to transporting the container by taking it from them is that it is no longer necessary to transport the container on a belt but is carried in suspension.
  • the force necessary to place the lid on the container is not transmitted to the base or the walls of the container, but is supported only by the perimeter ring of its upper part whose thickness is precisely sized according to the resistance which must present to said mechanical effort.
  • This allows the container to be manufactured with thinner walls, which leads to material savings, reducing production costs.
  • the package of the present invention comprises a neck that determines a mouth and a cap attachable to the neck that covers said mouth.
  • the lid is placed by pressure in its corresponding position coupled to the neck of the container.
  • the neck comprises a first perimeter flange and a second perimeter flange with the first perimeter flange being located on the upper surface of the container and the second perimeter flange below the first perimeter flange. Between the two perimeter flanges there is a space for coupling the lid in position.
  • the lid comprises a pouring hole of the contents of said container at the will of the consumer, said hole being in the vicinity of the periphery of the lid.
  • the lid includes a tilting flap that fits over the hole in the closed situation of the container and that tilts until it is placed coplanarly with the lid in the opposite position to the pouring hole in the opening situation of the container.
  • the cover includes a diametral recess comprising a first half and a second half that fit in shape and dimensions to the placket.
  • a diametral recess comprising a first half and a second half that fit in shape and dimensions to the placket. In the closing position of the pouring hole the placket is fitted in the first half of the diametral recess while in the opening position from the pouring hole, the placket can be fitted in the second half of the diametral recess.
  • At least one nail is provided at the end of the placket that is opposite the tilting axis. This facilitates the user to handle the placket.
  • the placket has tilting means, which may consist, either of a pivot whose ends are housed in the center of the side walls of the recess, or of a laminar element that constitutes a lower extension of the same placket attached to the lid itself of closing.
  • the tilting means of the placket are placed in the central area established between the two side walls of the diametral recess of the lid. This second possibility allows to have the lid and the placket in one piece.
  • the second half of the perimeter recess there is one or more tabs intended to fit into respective grooves defined in the tilting flap when the flap is in the opening position of the pouring hole and its position is to be fixed by fitting it into the second half of the recess perimeter.
  • Said grooves are located at the end of the placket opposite its tilting axis, or preferably on its sides. These slits are made in the placket in correspondence of shapes, size and position with the tabs of the recess of the lid.
  • the lid further comprises a peripheral skirt having an inner groove in which there is a first nerve and a second nerve.
  • the second nerve is on the lower surface of the lid and the first nerve is above it. Between both nerves there is a space for the coupling of the lid in position in the container.
  • the nerves are configured as strangulation of the side walls of the groove.
  • the most important feature of the present invention is the shape of the perimeter recesses and nerves. This feature has served to improve the sealing system of the container with the lid and also to move the center of mass of the lid so that during the industrial process, when the caps are thrown to place them in the containers, they always fall in the same direction (either face down, face up).
  • Another fundamental characteristic of the present application is the inclination of the penmetral skirt of the lid and the inclination of the lower surface of said lid. These characteristics are what allows more material in the lower part of the lid thus displacing the center of mass of the lid out of itself.
  • the second penmetral flange has a characteristic shape, having the upper face and the lower face beveled.
  • the first nerve also has a characteristic shape comprising a bevelled lower face with an inclination complementary to the inclination of the upper face of the second penmetral flange.

  • the first penmetral flange is above the first nerve and the second penmetral flange is between the first nerve and the second nerve.
  • peripheral skirt is bevelled so that the lower part of the cover has a diameter greater than the upper part of the cover. This chamfering on the skirt of the lid gives it an inclination that facilitates the removal of the lid from the mold in which it is manufactured, which improves the industrial production process.
  • the peripheral skirt has its lower surface inclined inwardly so that the center of mass of the lid is outside it.
  • the walls of the lid are inclined so that the top of the lid has a smaller diameter than the bottom of the lid. This facilitates the operation of removing the lid from the mold in which it is manufactured.
  • the lid, the placket and the container can be made of aluminum.
  • the lid, the placket and the container are made of plastic.
  • a container with lid is achieved that allows the opening and closing of the pouring hole as many times as desired and that offers a Totally tight closure.
  • the present package allows stacking with similar packages thanks to the fact that the placket being both in its closed position and in its opening position, determines a coplanar seat with the outer surface of the lid.
  • the continuous surface offered by the placket next to the lid favors the stability of the vertical stacking.
  • the placket provides a clear hygienic improvement compared to typical soda cans, since in this case the surface for contact with the consumer's lips is not exposed to dust or other contaminants, as that the pouring hole is hidden under the closed lid. Thus, the user can drink directly from the container with total safety in a clean way.
  • beverage containers with a sealed lid of the invention can be stacked for storage and / or transport. This is achieved because the outer diameter of the lid is less than the internal diameter of a hole in the base of the container to allow stacking of the containers. Said hollow in the lower part of the container allows said container to gain consistency.
