OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se puede incluir en el sector de la técnica referido a la alimentación, más concretamente a las bebidas. De manera más concreta, el objeto de la presente invención se refiere a una lata de bebida que permite ser diferenciada de otras latas de bebida, para evitar que un usuario beba por error de una lata ajena. The present invention can be included in the sector of the art related to food, more specifically to beverages. More specifically, the object of the present invention relates to a beverage can that can be differentiated from other beverage cans, to prevent a user from mistakenly drinking from a third-party can.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
La llegada de la crisis económica en 2007 ha provocado en los consumidores un desplazamiento de algunas de sus actividades de ocio desde los negocios de hostelería hacia los hogares. The arrival of the economic crisis in 2007 has caused consumers to shift some of their leisure activities from hospitality businesses to homes.
En particular, se ha detectado un aumento en la tendencia a consumir bebidas en el propio domicilio, en lugar de hacerlo en establecimientos de ocio, tales como bares o discotecas. Como consecuencia, se ha producido un realce en el sector dedicado a la fabricación de latas de bebidas, por ejemplo, latas de cerveza, de refrescos (de cola o de frutas), de tónica, etc. In particular, there has been an increase in the tendency to consume beverages at home, rather than at leisure establishments, such as bars or discos. As a consequence, there has been an enhancement in the sector dedicated to the manufacture of beverage cans, for example, beer cans, soft drinks (cola or fruit), tonic, etc.
El sector de fabricantes de latas de bebidas está por tanto interesado en mantener el alza de ventas en dicho sector, para lo cual desea detectar aspectos en los que aportar valor añadido a las latas de bebida. The beverage can manufacturers sector is therefore interested in maintaining the sales increase in that sector, for which it wishes to detect aspects in which to add value to the beverage cans.
En particular, se ha detectado la necesidad de diferenciar las distintas latas de bebida que en un momento dado pueden estar abiertas a la vez en una misma sala, mesa, fiesta, reunión, etc. Esta necesidad parte de que, en determinadas situaciones, dos o más personas están consumiendo bebidas de latas iguales o similares, estando las latas localizadas en posiciones suficientemente próximas como para que resulte confuso diferenciar las latas y, por tanto, puede suceder que un usuario beba de la lata de otro por confusión. Una solución a dicha necesidad consiste en que el propio usuario ejecute una modificación en la configuración de la lata para dotar a dicha lata de una configuración distintiva, por ejemplo: provocar una deformación personalizada en la lata (tal que una abolladura, por ejemplo); o marcar la lata, ya sea rayándola, o pintando algún motivo sobre la superficie lateral o la parte superior. In particular, it has been detected the need to differentiate the different cans of drink that at any given time can be open at the same time in the same room, table, party, meeting, etc. This need is based on the fact that, in certain situations, two or more people are consuming beverages from the same or similar cans, the cans being located in positions close enough so that it is confusing to differentiate the cans and, therefore, it may happen that a user drinks from another's can for confusion. A solution to said need is that the user himself executes a modification in the configuration of the can to provide said can with a distinctive configuration, for example: causing a customized deformation in the can (such as a dent, for example); or mark the can, either scratching it, or painting some motif on the side surface or the top.
Otra solución, con carácter más comercial, consiste en el desarrollo de diferentes productos marcadores, reutilizables, fabricados en formas diversas (bigotes, ositos, patitos, figuras amorfas, cuentas, aros, etc), así como en colores variados, y que están destinados a ser adosados de manera separable a los recipientes destinados a contener bebidas (vasos, copas, etc.), para diferenciar dichos recipientes unos de otros en base a una combinación particular de formas y/o colores. En este sentido, la publicación de modelo de utilidad español ES1065826U describe un recogegotas e identificador destinado a ser vinculado temporalmente en el borde de un recipiente de bebida, para evitar la caída de gotas de bebida, y simultáneamente servir como identificador del recipiente. Another solution, with a more commercial nature, consists in the development of different marker products, reusable, manufactured in different forms (mustaches, bears, ducklings, amorphous figures, beads, hoops, etc.), as well as in varied colors, and which are intended to be detachably attached to the containers intended to contain beverages (glasses, cups, etc.), to differentiate said containers from one another based on a particular combination of shapes and / or colors. In this sense, the Spanish utility model publication ES1065826U describes a dropper and identifier intended to be temporarily linked at the edge of a beverage container, to prevent the drop of beverage drops, and simultaneously serve as the container's identifier.
Asimismo, en un campo relacionado, la publicación de modelo de utilidad español ES1069997U tiene por objeto una lata de bebida que incorpora un testigo táctil en la superficie lateral, para identificar donde está la boca de la lata. Likewise, in a related field, the Spanish utility model publication ES1069997U aims at a beverage can that incorporates a tactile control on the lateral surface, to identify where the can mouth is.

Seguidamente se ofrece, con ayuda de la figura 1 única adjunta, una descripción detallada de un ejemplo de realización preferente de la lata de bebida de la presente invención. A detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the beverage can of the present invention is given below with the aid of the unique figure attached hereto.
La lata de bebida comprende un cuerpo (1), para contener la bebida, que en el ejemplo representado en la figura 1 es de configuración cilindrica, comprendiendo dicho cuerpo (1), de acuerdo con la realización representada, un apoyo (2) inferior para mantener la lata en posición vertical de manera estable. El cuerpo (1) comprende adicionalmente una zona de apertura (3), preferentemente opuesta al apoyo (2). En la zona de apertura (3) se encuentra una lengüeta (4) montada giratoriamente respecto de un pivote (5) fijado en dicha zona de apertura (3). La lengüeta (4) comprende un extremo de agarre (6), destinado a ser manualmente accionado por un usuario, así como la lengüeta (4) comprende adicionalmente un extremo de apertura (7), opuesto al extremo de agarre (6) respecto del pivote (5). La lengüeta (4) es deformable, de tal manera que el accionamiento del extremo de agarre (6) por parte del usuario clava el extremo de apertura (7) en una porción pretroquelada (8) de la zona apertura (3), desprendiendo al menos en parte la porción pretroquelada (8) hacia el interior del cuerpo (1), generando de esta manera una boca (9) para permitir la salida de la bebida. The beverage can comprises a body (1), to contain the beverage, which in the example shown in Figure 1 is of cylindrical configuration, said body (1) comprising, according to the embodiment shown, a lower support (2) to keep the can upright stably. The body (1) additionally comprises an opening area (3), preferably opposite the support (2). In the opening area (3) you it finds a tongue (4) rotatably mounted with respect to a pivot (5) fixed in said opening area (3). The tongue (4) comprises a grip end (6), intended to be manually operated by a user, just as the tongue (4) additionally comprises an opening end (7), opposite the grip end (6) with respect to the pivot (5). The tongue (4) is deformable, so that the actuation of the grip end (6) by the user drives the opening end (7) into a pre-locked portion (8) of the opening area (3), releasing the less in part the pre-locked portion (8) towards the inside of the body (1), thereby generating a mouth (9) to allow the beverage to escape.
Por ser la lengüeta (4) giratoria en torno al pivote (5), la lengüeta (4) es orientable con respecto a la zona de apertura (3) y/o al cuerpo (1) en general, en una posición cualquiera a voluntad del usuario. As the tongue (4) rotates around the pivot (5), the tongue (4) is orientable with respect to the opening area (3) and / or the body (1) in general, in any position at will of the user.
La lata incorpora adicionalmente una pluralidad de resaltes marcadores (10) localizados en la zona de apertura (3) y/o en el cuerpo (1) para, en cooperación con la lengüeta (4) y el pivote (5), permitir distinguir la lata de otras latas. Esto es así puesto que el usuario puede girar la lengüeta (4) haciéndola coincidir, o enfrentándola, con cualquiera de los resaltes marcadores (10), lo cual sirve para que otros usuarios reconozcan que esa lata es diferente de otras latas próximas en las que la lengüeta (4) adopta una orientación distinta. De manera preferente, los resaltes marcadores (10) se encuentran en la periferia de la zona de apertura (3) y/o de cuerpo (1), para poder estar más separados entre sí y, por tanto, poder adoptar mayor tamaño, lo que facilita su percepción por parte de los usuarios. The can additionally incorporates a plurality of marker projections (10) located in the opening area (3) and / or in the body (1) to, in cooperation with the tongue (4) and the pivot (5), allow distinguishing the can of other cans. This is so since the user can rotate the tab (4) by matching it, or facing it, with any of the marker highlights (10), which serves for other users to recognize that that can is different from other nearby cans in which the tongue (4) adopts a different orientation. Preferably, the marker projections (10) are located on the periphery of the opening area (3) and / or body (1), in order to be more separated from each other and, therefore, to be able to adopt a larger size, which facilitates its perception by users.
Los resaltes marcadores (10) definen motivos que pueden tener origen y configuración muy variados. Marker highlights (10) define motifs that can have a very varied origin and configuration.
En lo que se refiere al origen, los motivos pueden estar constituidos a modo de deformación de la zona de apertura (3) y/o del cuerpo (1), por ejemplo mediante: estampación, ya sea en relieve o en bajorrelieve; tallado con láser; etc. De manera alternativa, los motivos de los resaltes marcadores (10) pueden estar configurados como depósitos efectuados sobre la zona de apertura (3) y/o el cuerpo (1), por ejemplo, depósitos de tinta, impresión fotográfica, depósitos adhesivos, etc. En el ejemplo de la figura 1 , se representan resaltes marcadores (10) ejecutados a modo de deformaciones en la zona de apertura (3), en particular, a modo de estampación de bajorrelieves. As regards the origin, the motifs may be constituted by way of deformation of the opening area (3) and / or of the body (1), for example by: stamping, either embossed or in bas-relief; laser carving; etc. Alternatively, the motifs of the marker highlights (10) may be configured as deposits made on the opening area (3) and / or the body (1), for example, ink tanks, photographic printing, adhesive deposits, etc. . In the example of figure 1, marker highlights (10) executed as deformations are shown in the opening area (3), in particular, by way of stamping bas-reliefs.
En lo que se refiere a la configuración, los motivos de los resaltes marcadores (10) pueden seleccionarse entre: números árabes, símbolos, imágenes, marcas, números romanos, emoticonos, muescas, trazos de diferentes colores, signos, caracteres (incluso de diversos alfabetos), etc. En el ejemplo representado en la figura 1 , los motivos de los resaltes marcadores (10) adoptan forma de números árabes. Regarding the configuration, the motifs of the highlighting markers (10) can be selected from: Arabic numerals, symbols, images, marks, Roman numerals, emoticons, notches, strokes of different colors, signs, characters (even of different alphabets), etc. In the example represented in Figure 1, the motifs of the marker highlights (10) take the form of Arabic numerals.
De manera opcional, en la lengüeta (4) está definido un elemento de referencia, con origen y configuración seleccionare de entre todos aquellos indicados anteriormente para los resaltes marcadores (10). El elemento de referencia es el elemento que el usuario toma como referencia para determinar la orientación de la lengüeta (4) y por tanto, diferenciar las latas. De acuerdo con un ejemplo más preferente, como elemento de referencia puede emplearse un agujero (1 1 ) practicado en la lengüeta (4), preferentemente en las proximidades del extremo de agarre (6), o por ejemplo el extremo de agarre (6) o el extremo de apertura (7), o en general cualquier parte de la lengüeta (4). Optionally, in the tab (4) a reference element is defined, with origin and configuration, I will select from among all those indicated above for the marker highlights (10). The reference element is the element that the user takes as a reference to determine the orientation of the tongue (4) and therefore, to differentiate the cans. According to a more preferred example, a hole (1 1) made in the tongue (4) can be used as a reference element, preferably in the vicinity of the grip end (6), or for example the grip end (6) or the opening end (7), or in general any part of the tongue (4).
