Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closing device for containers, which allows to prevent the entry of air into the container even if the container has been opened for the first time.
  • a problem with these packages is that once opened for the first time, the containers are not hermetically sealed, so that the beverage or food inside the package must be consumed within a relatively short period of time, since otherwise It will spoil and cannot be consumed.
  • Tetra Brik® A common example of this type of packaging is the so-called Tetra Brik®. This container for common use when it was first opened, a corner of it was cut, so that it was completely exposed to the entry of air into the container through this cut corner, so that the contents of the container should be consumed Within a short period of time.
  • packages of this type were conceived with an articulated closure element, so that a tongue was removed that covered a hole to open the container for the first time, said articulated closure element allowed to close the hole.
  • the closure device for packages according to the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a sealing element provided with an outlet, the walls of the outlet being in contact with each other, closing it.
  • the closure device for packages according to the present invention comprises a closure element, and the sealing element is formed by a flexible sheet, said sealing element being partially attached to the closure element, so that The sealing element deforms when the closure element is removed, defining an outlet and the walls of the outlet being in contact with each other, closing it.
  • said sealing element is attached to the closure element in a central area of said sealing element.
  • said sealing element is a sheet of plastic material, in particular, a polyethylene sheet.
  • said closure element is a tongue and is placed on said sealing element.
  • the closure device for packages according to the present invention may also comprise at least one retaining flap that retains the outlet formed by said sealing element, said flap or retention flaps being advantageously elastic.
  • the closure device for packages according to the present invention also comprises a lid, which in its closed position is placed on said closure element and on said sealing element.
  • said lid is articulated with respect to a frame that can be attached to a container.
  • the outlet of said sealing element is made of an elastomer, for example silicone.
  • the closure device for the container it is achieved that the air does not enter the container, since the sealing element will prevent it.
  • the flexible sheet which will make the walls of the outlet mouth come into contact with each other avoiding the entry of air and, when you want to remove the product from the inside of the container, the flexible nature of the sheet will cause the outlet opening opens, separating the walls of the outlet opening through the passage of the product.
  • Figures 1 to 3 are perspective views of the closure device for packages according to the present invention during removal of the closure element and the formation of the outlet mouth;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the closure device for containers according to the present invention in its position of use;
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the closure device for packages according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 A first embodiment of the closure device according to the present invention is shown in Figures 1 to 3.
  • a package 7, for example a Tetra Brik® type container comprises a hole 8 through which the contents of the package can flow out, for example a beverage or a liquid food.
  • a closure element 1 is placed on this hole 8, such as a tongue that can be stretched for removal.
  • a sealing element 2 is placed, which is formed from a flexible sheet, for example a sheet of plastic material, advantageously, of polyethylene.
  • This sealing element 2 is partially attached, for example in its central part, to the closure element 1, as can be seen in particular in Figure 2.
  • This connection can be carried out in any suitable way, for example, by heat sealing.
  • the closure device comprises a lid 5, which is preferably articulated with respect to a frame 6 attached to the container 7 around the hole 8.
  • the container 7 If it is desired to supply the contents of the container 7, for example a liquid, it will be done in a conventional manner, rotating the container 7 until the content leaves through the outlet 3, which will be automatically opened by the pressure exerted by the content when leaving container 7, and then it will close again automatically.
  • the user should not manipulate the closing device in a different way from the way it currently does, since the sealing element 2 interacts with the closing element 1 when opening the container 7 for the first time and then with the contents of the container 7 to open the outlet 3.
  • retention fins 4 whose function is to retain the outlet mouth 3 in its upwardly oriented position, as shown in Figure 4.
  • retention fins 4 may have any suitable shape, not necessarily that shown in Figure 4.
  • FIG. 5 A third embodiment of the closure device for packages according to the present invention is shown in Figure 5. For simplicity reasons they use the same numerical references to identify equivalent elements.
  • the outlet 3 of said sealing element 2 is not connected to the closing element 1, which is optional.
  • the outlet 3 is made of an elastomer, for example silicone.
  • the outlet opening 3 opens automatically, as in the previous embodiments, and will be closed due to the elastic characteristics of the outlet opening 3 when the contents of the package 7 stop passing through said outlet 3.

Abstract

Le dispositif de fermeture pour contenants comprend un élément étanche doté d'une bouche de sortie, les parois de la bouche de sortie étant en contact entre elles, en la fermant. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le dispositif de fermeture pour contenants comprend un élément de fermeture, et l'élément étanche est formé d'une couche souple, cet élément étanche étant partiellement relié à l'élément de fermeture, de manière que l'élément de fermeture se déforme lorsque l'on retire l'élément de fermeture, définissant une bouche de sortie et les parois de la bouche de sortie étant en contant entre elles, en la fermant.
