Descrição da Invenção  Description of the Invention
Conforme um primeiro aspecto principal, a presente invenção consiste de tampa funcional em forma de bloco de construção compreendendo parede lateral (1), superfície de topo (2), base da tampa (3), dois ou mais elementos de encaixe do tipo pino macho (4) e/ou nicho fêmea (5) na porção superior da tampa e dois ou mais dois ou mais elementos de encaixe do tipo pino macho (4) e/ou nicho fêmea (5) na porção inferior da tampa, caracterizada pelo fato de que seus elementos de encaixe do tipo pino macho (4) e/ou nicho fêmea (5) não formam pares de conexão com os de outra tampa igual a ela mesma, mas formam pares de conexão com elemento de encaixe do tipo pino macho e/ou nicho fêmea presente em outra tampa do tipo bloco de construção diferente dela mesma. As a first major aspect, the present invention consists of a functional block-shaped lid comprising sidewall (1), top surface (2), lid base (3), two or more male pin-type engaging members (4) and / or female niche ( 5) in the upper portion of the lid and two or more two or more male pin-type engaging members (4) and / or female niche (5) in the lower portion of the lid, characterized in that their pin-type engaging members male (4) and / or female niche (5) do not form connection pairs with those of another cap equal to itself, but form connection pairs with male pin-type plug and / or female niche present in another cover of the same. kind of building block different from itself.
Elementos das tampas compreendidas pela presente invenção estão descritos na FIGURA 1.  Elements of the covers comprised by the present invention are described in FIGURE 1.
De acordo com a presente invenção, entende-se por tampa funcional qualquer tampa com função de fechar embalagens, incluindo tampas providas de rosca ou de travas para sua fixação, remoção e eventual recolocação. A aplicação de tampas conforme a presente invenção não se limita, mas pode ser particularmente interessante para o fechamento de garrafas de refrigerantes, água, sucos, etc, em que a abertura apresenta padrão relativamente uniforme entre produtos de diferentes marcas encontrados no mercado. Outros tipos de embalagens em que as tampas compreendidas pela presente invenção podem ser úteis envolvem, por exemplo, potes de alimentos, cosméticos, medicamentos ou ainda tubos ou bisnagas para cremes e pastas, dentre outros.  According to the present invention, a functional lid means any lid with a closure function, including screw or latch covers for their attachment, removal and eventual replacement. The application of caps according to the present invention is not limited, but may be particularly interesting for the closure of soda bottles, water, juices, etc., where the opening presents relatively uniform pattern between products of different brands found in the market. Other types of packaging in which the lids of the present invention may be useful involve, for example, food jars, cosmetics, medicaments or even tubes and tubes for creams and pastes, among others.
Ainda conforme a presente invenção, entendem-se por blocos de construção estruturas unitárias, com protuberâncias e reentrâncias, passíveis de serem encaixadas com outras estruturas unitárias compatíveis, formando conjuntos tridimensionais relativamente estáveis e que possam ser levantados e girados com movimentos suaves, sem que as estruturas unitárias se desprendam umas das outras.  Also in accordance with the present invention, building blocks are understood to be unitary structures with protrusions and recesses which can be fitted with other compatible unitary structures, forming relatively stable three-dimensional assemblies which can be lifted and rotated with smooth movements without the unitary structures detach from each other.
Adicionalmente, entende-se por "outra tampa" como tampa diferente daquela que está sendo tomada como base como "tampa conforme a presente invenção". A outra tampa pode ser ou não uma tampa conforme a presente invenção, mas sempre será diferente daquela que está sendo tomada como base nas descrições de correlação entre distintas tampas. In addition, "other lid" means different from the one being taken as a "lid according to the present invention". The other cap may or may not be a cap according to the present invention, but will always be different from the one being taken as the basis of the descriptions of correlation between different caps.
Conforme a presente invenção, entende-se como parede lateral (1) a porção da tampa que fica lateralmente e diretamente em contato com a embalagem a ser fechada. Entende-se como superfície de topo (2) a porção da tampa que se une à parede lateral (1) para prover o fechamento da embalagem e entende-se como base da tampa (3) o perímetro inferior da parede lateral (1), oposto à superfície de topo (2).  According to the present invention, the sidewall (1) means that portion of the lid that is laterally and directly in contact with the package to be closed. The top surface (2) is the portion of the lid that joins the side wall (1) to provide closure of the package and the base of the lid (3) is the lower perimeter of the side wall (1), opposite the top surface (2).
Em configurações opcionais, a parede lateral (1) pode ter formato cilíndrico ou ainda apresentar outros formatos diversos. Opcionalmente, pode ser provida de rosca ou travas em sua porção interior, objetivando sua melhor fixação e fechamento da embalagem.  In optional configurations, the sidewall (1) may be cylindrical in shape or in other miscellaneous shapes. Optionally, it can be provided with thread or locks in its inner portion, aiming at its better fixing and closing of the package.
Em configurações opcionais, a superfície de topo (2) pode apresentar superfícies essencialmente planas em ambas as suas paredes externa (2- e) e interna (2-i). Também opcionalmente, a parede interna (2-i) da superfície de topo (2) pode estar associada a elementos que ajudem na vedação da embalagem, tais como anéis de vedação, membranas de vedação rolhas ou batoques. Nos casos em que a superfície de topo (2) está associada a rolha ou batoque, a parede da rolha ou batoque que fica em contato com a embalagem podem fazer o papel de porção interna da parede lateral (1). Ainda opcionalmente, a superfície de topo pode ser composta ou coberta por camadas sobrepostas. Nesse caso, será considerada como parede externa da superfície de topo (2-e) sua parede que fique exposta do lado de fora da tampa e será considerada com parede interna da superfície de topo (2-i) sua parede fique exposta do lado de dentro da tampa.  In optional embodiments, the top surface (2) may have essentially flat surfaces on both its outer (2- and) and inner (2-i) walls. Also optionally, the inner wall (2i) of the top surface (2) may be associated with sealing aids such as sealing rings, stopper sealing membranes or bungs. In cases where the top surface (2) is associated with a cork or bung, the cork or bung wall that comes in contact with the package may play the internal portion of the side wall (1). Still optionally, the top surface may be composed or covered by overlapping layers. In this case, the outer surface of the top surface (2-e) shall be considered as its exposed outer wall and the inner surface of the top surface (2-i) shall be considered as its exposed outer wall. inside the lid.
Em configurações opcionais, a base da tampa (3) apresenta-se na forma de elementos alinhados, que delimitam essencialmente o perímetro de um semiplano paralelo à superfície de topo (2). Interessantes construções opcionais para a base da tampa (3) incluem, por exemplo, a presença de pequenos recuos (9) em relação à altura dos elementos de encaixe localizados na porção inferior da tampa, de modo a permitir que as tampas conforme a presente invenção possam ser assentadas sobre superfícies que apresentem ressaltos ou pinos que coincidam com a base da tampa (3), como, por exemplo, quando uma tampa conforme a presente invenção é colocada sobre uma outra tampa contendo elementos de encaixe e o posicionamento de um dos elementos de encaixe dessa outra tampa coincida com a base da tampa (3) conforme a presente invenção. Em uma configuração opcional, os recuos (9) na base da tampa (3) podem ter a forma de recortes, reentrâncias ou estreitamento na parede lateral (1). Em outra configuração opcional, os recuos (9) na base da tampa (3) podem ser aplicados em toda sua extensão, fazendo com que toda a base da tampa se recue, de modo que os elementos de encaixe, localizados na porção inferior da tampa, acabem se projetando além da base da tampa (3).
