MÓDULO ESTABILIZADOR PARA VASOS APTO COMO TAPA Y POSAVASOS  STABILIZER MODULE FOR VESSELS SUITABLE AS COVER AND COVERS
Descripción Objeto de la invención Description Object of the invention
La invención que se presenta se refiere a un módulo estabilizador para vasos apto como tapa y posavasos, el cual, por sus características técnicas y de conformación, mejora de forma significativa el estado de la técnica actual. The invention presented refers to a stabilizer module for vessels suitable as a lid and coasters, which, due to its technical and conformation characteristics, significantly improves the state of the art.
En concreto, esta innovación se refiere a un módulo susceptible de acoplarse a la embocadura del vaso, siendo utilizado como tapa, y de acoplarse a la base de dicho vaso, siendo utilizado como posavasos para dar estabilidad al mismo y evitar su volcado accidental. Specifically, this innovation refers to a module capable of attaching to the mouth of the vessel, being used as a lid, and of coupling to the base of said vessel, being used as coasters to give stability to the vessel and prevent accidental dumping.
Con ello pretende resolver el problema de la inestabilidad de un vaso de plástico que normalmente tiene la base más estrecha que la boca, pero al mismo tiempo pretende servir de tapa que imposibilita el vertido del líquido cuando el vaso no se usa. Sector de la técnica This aims to solve the problem of the instability of a plastic cup that normally has a narrower base than the mouth, but at the same time aims to serve as a lid that makes it impossible to pour the liquid when the glass is not used. Technical sector
El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector de utensilios de uso domestico o de mesa, en particular, en la fabricación de posavasos para vasos o para recipientes de bebidas, singularmente de vasos de plástico que requieren para su estabilidad de posavasos acoplables. The field of application of the present invention falls within the sector of household or tableware utensils, in particular, in the manufacture of coasters for glasses or for beverage containers, singularly of plastic cups that require for their coasters stability. attachable
Antecedentes de la invención y estado de la técnica Background of the invention and state of the art
Uno de los artículos más ampliamente utilizados para beber son los vasos, copas, tazas o similares, definidos como recipientes con capacidad para contener líquidos y con una embocadura suficientemente dimensionada para permitir el consumo de tal líquido por parte del consumidor. Lógicamente, existen innumerables diseños de vasos, pero en general tienden a ser de un tamaño que permite ser cogidos por una sola mano, de forma cilindrica regular o con tendencia a un diámetro inferior en su base respecto de su embocadura, sin pié de soporte y estando fabricados preferentemente en cristal o vidrio pero sin descartar otros materiales como plástico, material celulósico o incluso aluminio u otros metales o aleaciones. Los vasos de cristal o vidrio tienen una solidez y estabilidad que les otorga el propio material en que están fabricados, lo que asegura su firmeza sobre la superficie en que reposan. Sin embargo, los vasos de plástico o de material celulósico, en particular cuando se fabrican como artículos de un solo uso con un material que se entiende de desecho y por tanto con una resistencia menguada y una debilidad estructural notable, la estabilidad de tales vasos o similares es muy reducida, agravada por el hecho de que este tipo de vasos suelen tener una forma cónica más que evidente, con lo cual la superficie de la base es notablemente menor que la parte superior del mismo. Es el caso de los vasos de un solo uso, generalmente blancos, que se utilizan por ejemplo en celebraciones y fiestas o bien los vasos que se utilizan para comercializar cafés y refrescos, entre otras bebidas, los cuales tienen una tendencia muy acusada a volcarse, derramando el líquido contenido, extendiéndolo por la mesa o el suelo, y con la consecuencia inevitable de provocar manchas en buena parte del entono en que se encuentra dicho vaso, por ejemplo, los pantalones o la falda del consumidor o bien la alfombra o el suelo de madera. Dicha caída se produce por la falta de estabilidad provocada por una base demasiado estrecha, también se puede producir por golpe, viento o al ser llevado por el camarero, pero el factor que más influye en la caída es la inestabilidad. One of the most widely used items for drinking are glasses, cups, cups or the like, defined as containers with a capacity to contain liquids and with a mouthpiece sufficiently sized to allow the consumption of such liquid by the consumer. Logically, there are innumerable designs of vessels, but in general they tend to be of a size that allows them to be picked up by one hand, in a regular cylindrical shape or with a tendency to a smaller diameter at its base with respect to its mouth, without support foot and being preferably made of glass or glass but without discarding other materials such as plastic, cellulosic material or even aluminum or other metals or alloys. Glass or glass vessels have a solidity and stability that gives them the material they are made of, which ensures their firmness on the surface on which they rest. However, plastic or cellulosic material vessels, in particular when they are manufactured as single-use items with a material that is understood as waste and therefore with a diminished strength and notable structural weakness, the stability of such vessels or Similar is very small, aggravated by the fact that these types of vessels tend to have a conical shape more than evident, so that the surface of the base is noticeably smaller than the top of it. This is the case of single-use glasses, usually white, that are used for example in celebrations and parties or the glasses that are used to market coffees and soft drinks, among other drinks, which have a very pronounced tendency to tip over, spilling the contained liquid, spreading it on the table or the floor, and with the inevitable consequence of causing spots in a good part of the environment in which said glass is located, for example, the consumer's pants or skirt or the carpet or floor of wood. This fall is caused by the lack of stability caused by a too narrow base, it can also be produced by blow, wind or being carried by the waiter, but the factor that most influences the fall is instability.
En el caso de los vasos de un solo uso para cafés y refrescos es habitual que vayan provistos de una tapa ajustada a presión, contando dicha tapa en ocasiones con una abertura menor para la salida del líquido, sea mediante la inserción de una caña o, si la abertura lo permite, aplicando directamente los labios del consumidor. Sin embargo, la práctica más habitual es la de retirar la tapa protectora para degustar la bebida, con lo cual el riesgo de volcado y derrame del líquido es evidente. In the case of single-use glasses for coffees and soft drinks it is usual that they are provided with a pressure-adjusted lid, said lid sometimes having a smaller opening for the exit of the liquid, either by inserting a rod or, if the opening allows it, directly applying the lips of the consumer. However, the most common practice is to remove the protective cap to taste the drink, whereby the risk of overturning and spilling the liquid is evident.
Existen en materia de propiedad industrial algunas patentes que desarrollan sistemas para evitar este derrame accidental del líquido al volcar el vaso que lo contiene, como por ejemplo la patente ES2489392A1 que se refiere a un posavasos para "contener un recipiente que comprende al menos dos paredes, recubiertas dichas al menos dos paredes por un material antideslizante cuyo objetivo es proveer de una sujeción efectiva de recipientes de cualquier forma y tamaño en el interior de un vehículo automóvil. Esto se logra haciendo que dichas paredes converjan entre sí con un ángulo menor de 90°, y un mecanismo de retención en al menos una de las paredes que se activa mediante un movimiento del recipiente entre las dos paredes y hacia una arista de intersección entre ellas." El modelo de utilidad ES1070027U describe "un cuerpo sensiblemente laminar sobre el cual se coloca un envase, caracterizado por el hecho de que dicho cuerpo está hecho de material de algodón o similar absorbente, teniendo un espesor comprendido entre 1 y 30 milímetros aproximadamente, de tal modo que cuando el cuerpo adquiere humedad éste se adhiere firmemente en la base del envase." Por su parte, el modelo de utilidad ES1078987U insiste en un "posavasos mejorado, del tipo que comprende una porción sensiblemente laminar configurada formal y dimensionalmente para apoyo de un recipiente , tal como un vaso; caracterizada porque la porción laminar incluye, al menos, una parte impresa diferenciada cubierta por una capa rascable." El modelo de utilidad ES1077225U describe un posavasos que comprende: "una base que presenta un alojamiento contenedor de un envase con líquido refrigerante , estando dicho alojamiento provisto de un fondo, una pared perimetral, unas paredes interiores de refuerzo y una boca superior; prolongándose dicha base por la periferia de la boca en un faldón perimetral cuyo extremo inferior define por debajo del fondo del alojamiento un plano de apoyo del posavasos; y una tapa superior que establece el cierre estanco del alojamiento y conforma en el posavasos una superficie superior para el apoyo de un vaso." Su finalidad es mantener el frió de la bebida. Otros documentos inciden en el mismo sector, por ejemplo el documento ES1098456U propone un recipiente que contiene un pequeño cilindro hueco con rosca o sin ella para acoplar al mismo una especie de tapa de la que forma parte un pequeño cilindro roscado que se podrá roscar y desenroscar para convertir el recipiente en una especie de copa. El dispositivo es un cilindro hueco que en su interior llevará una rosca en toda su longitud, y en la zona exterior llevará unas aletas concéntricas flexibles, para poder acoplar a presi6n al hueco del pequeño cilindro y así poder también roscar y desenroscar el dispositivo para utilizar el recipiente como una especie de copa. Se trata en este caso de transformar el recipiente en una copa acoplando un cilindro roscado a la base de dicho recipiente, alga muy diferente al asiento que proporciona la invención solicitada para alcanzar una mejor estabilidad del vaso. There are some patents in industrial property that develop systems to prevent this accidental spillage of the liquid when the vessel containing it is tipped, such as the ES2489392A1 patent which refers to a coaster to "contain a container comprising at least two walls, said at least two walls covered by a non-slip material whose objective is to provide an effective hold of containers of any shape and size inside a motor vehicle.This is achieved by having said walls converge with each other at an angle less than 90 ° , and a retention mechanism in at least one of the walls that is activated by a movement of the container between the two walls and towards a intersecting edge between them. "The utility model ES1070027U describes" a substantially laminar body on which a container is placed, characterized by the fact that said body is made of absorbent cotton or similar material, having a thickness between 1 and approximately 30 millimeters, so that when the body acquires moisture it adheres firmly to the base of the container. "For its part, the utility model ES1078987U insists on an" improved cup holder, of the type comprising a substantially laminar portion configured formally and dimensionally for support of a container, such as a vessel; characterized in that the laminar portion includes, at least, a differentiated printed part covered by a scratchable layer. "The utility model ES1077225U describes a coaster comprising:" a base having a container housing of a container with coolant, said housing being provided with a bottom, a perimeter wall, inner reinforcing walls and an upper mouth; said base extending through the periphery of the mouth in a perimeter skirt whose lower end defines below the bottom of the housing a support plane of the cup holder; and an upper cover that establishes the tight seal of the housing and forms an upper surface in the cup holder for the support of a glass. "Its purpose is to keep the beverage cold. Other documents affect the same sector, for example document ES1098456U proposes a container that contains a small hollow cylinder with or without a thread to attach to it a kind of lid of which a small threaded cylinder is part that can be threaded and unscrewed to convert the container into a kind of cup. a hollow cylinder that inside will carry a thread along its entire length, and in the outer area it will have flexible concentric fins, to be able to snap to the hollow of the small cylinder so that it can also thread and unscrew the device to use the container as a kind of cup. In this case it is a matter of transforming the container into a cup by attaching a threaded cylinder to the base of said container, to the It is very different from the seat provided by the requested invention to achieve better vessel stability.
ES2147884T3 propone un tapón roscado de plástico para cerrar un recipiente, que comprende una copa compuesta de una porción a modo de disco y una pared cilindrica que sobresale del borde de dicha porción a modo de disco y tiene una rosca interna que está adaptada para acoplarse en una rosca correspondiente del recipiente, y un labio anular que sobresale de dicha porción a modo de disco concéntricamente respecto a dicha pared cilindrica, actuando dicho labia anular coma apoyo para un revestimiento de cierre hermético, de manera que dicho revestimiento, cuando el tapón se haya aplicado al recipiente, se acopla frontal y externamente al borde de la boca del recipiente, que dicho revestimiento tiene una zona central más fina que cubre la cara interna de la porción a modo de disco, estando rodeada dicha zona central mediante una porción anular ampliada que tiene una zona plana, acoplándose, dicha porción ampliada en conjunto, frontal y externamente al borde de la boca del recipiente cuando el tapón se haya aplicado al recipiente, y el cual se acopla y ensancha dicho labio anular. En este caso se trata de un tapón roscado que a diferencia de la invención propuesta en esta memoria descriptiva no actOa como base para conferir estabilidad al recipiente. ES2147884T3 proposes a plastic screw cap to close a container, comprising a cup composed of a disk-like portion and a cylindrical wall that protrudes from the edge of said disk-like portion and has an internal thread that is adapted to engage in a corresponding thread of the container, and an annular lip protruding from said disk-shaped portion concentrically with respect to said cylindrical wall, said annular lip acting as a support for a hermetically sealed liner, so that said liner, when the cap has been applied to the container, is coupled frontally and externally to the edge of the mouth of the container, that said liner has a finer central area that covers the inner face of the portion by way of a disk, said central area being surrounded by an enlarged annular portion having a flat area, said portion enlarged together, frontally and externally to the edge of the mouth of the container when the cap has been applied to the container, and the which engages and widens said annular lip. In this case it is a screw cap which, unlike the invention proposed in this specification, does not act as a basis for conferring stability to the container.
ES1005324U describe un vaso perfeccionado, que comprende un vaso unido por su base de fondo formando una sola pieza a una cazoleta provista de una valona recoge líquido sobre la que encaja otra cazoleta, constituyendo el conjunto un vaso con estuche. Este vaso con estuche, Si bien resulta estable al ser la base la parte inferior del estuche, es muy diferente a la invención propuesta al montarse el vaso a base de cazoletas superpuestas. ES1005324U describes an improved vessel, which comprises a vessel joined by its bottom base forming a single piece to a bowl provided with a wall collecting liquid on which another bowl fits, the assembly constituting a vessel with a case. This glass with case, Although it is stable as the base is the bottom of the case, it is very different from the invention proposed by mounting the glass based on superimposed cups.
ES1045872U hace referencia a un posavasos perfeccionado aplicable al mismo tiempo como soporte publicitario y musical, que está constituido a partir de un cuerpo de planta circular fabricado en policarbonato, que presenta en la zona central una perforación circular, incorporando sobre su superficie serigrafía con publicidad o bien incorporar revestimientos metalizados o lacados. Se trata en este caso de un soporte para vasos provisto de una perforación circular sobre la que se coloca el vaso, mientras que el documento ES1075508U describe un soporte portavasos similar, pero para sostener varios vasos, tratándose en ambos casos de una solución muy diferente a la de la invención propuesta. ES1045872U refers to an improved coasters applicable at the same time as advertising and musical support, which is constituted from a circular plant body made of polycarbonate, which has a circular perforation in the central area, incorporating serigraphy with advertising on its surface or either incorporate metallic or lacquered coatings. In this case, it is a support for vessels provided with a circular perforation on which the vessel is placed, while document ES1075508U describes a similar holder, but for holding several vessels, in both cases being a very different solution to that of the proposed invention.
A la vista de lo anterior resulta evidente que existen numerosos desarrollos técnicos de posavasos pero ninguno es aplicable al mismo tiempo como tapa protectora del vaso, taza o similar. Por su parte, existen documentos referidos a tapas para vasos o similares como es el caso de la patente europea E97310104 que desarrolla una tapa de cubierta desechable, con forma abombada, para su utilización en vasos para beber del tipo de los vasos usados para la venta de bebidas frías y calientes pero que en modo alguno puede ser utilizado como posavasos justamente porque presenta su parte superior abombada. Resulta obvio, por tanto, que estas y otras patentes aportan soluciones técnicas para mejorar los posavasos o las tapas de los vasos, que en algún caso buscan proporcionar una mayor estabilidad en determinadas situaciones, por ejemplo para bebidas que se consumen en el interior de un vehículo o bien posavasos que permiten mantener el frió de la bebida. Entre las patentes revisadas, en ningún caso el posavasos puede ser utilizado como tapa. In view of the above it is evident that there are numerous technical developments of coasters but none is applicable at the same time as a protective cap of the glass, cup or similar. On the other hand, there are documents referring to lids for glasses or similar such as in the case of European patent E97310104 that develops a disposable cover, with a bulging shape, for use in drinking glasses of the type of glasses used for sale of hot and cold drinks but that in no way can be used as coasters just because it has its bulging upper part. It is obvious, therefore, that these and other patents provide technical solutions to improve the coasters or the lids of the glasses, which in some cases seek to provide greater stability in certain situations, for example for drinks consumed inside a vehicle or coasters that keep the drink cold. Among the patents reviewed, in no case can the coaster be used as a lid.
Por tanto, el solicitante entiende que debería existir una solución técnica simple y lógica, para que una sola pieza y de forma sencilla proporcionara una mayor estabilidad al vaso, sin añadir nuevas piezas o elementos que encarezcan el producto, dificulten su almacenaje o entorpezcan su manipulación por parte del vendedor o del consumidor. La solución del problema en el caso de la presente invención pasa por un módulo que actúe como base a modo de posavasos acoplable por debajo y que puede hacer de tapadera si se acopla por arriba. Therefore, the applicant understands that there should be a simple and logical technical solution, so that a single piece and in a simple way will provide greater stability to the vessel, without adding new parts or elements that make the product more expensive, hinder its storage or hinder its handling by the seller or the consumer. The solution of the problem in the case of the present invention goes through a module that acts as a base as a cupholder that can be attached underneath and that can be used as a cover if it is coupled from above.
Descripción de la invención Description of the invention
Así pues, la invención que se presenta tiene por objeto un módulo estabilizador para vasos apto como tapa y posavasos que da respuesta a las necesidades ya señaladas. Thus, the invention presented has as its object a stabilizer module for glasses suitable as a lid and cup holders that responds to the needs already indicated.
Este módulo está constituido por un cuerpo de conformación geométrica regular en correspondencia a la conformación del vaso al que debe acoplarse, es decir, preferentemente de sección circular y con una volumetría variable que incluye en su conformación elementos técnicos especialmente diseñados y ubicados estratégicamente para ser medios de ensamblaje y acople con la base y boca de un vaso, es decir, elementos que actúan para vincular dicho módulo y el vaso o recipiente, tanto en la parte de la embocadura como en la base del mismo. This module is constituted by a body of regular geometric conformation in correspondence to the conformation of the vessel to which it must be attached, that is, preferably of circular section and with a variable volumetry that includes in its conformation specially designed technical elements and strategically located to be means of assembly and coupling with the base and mouth of a vessel, that is, elements that act to link said module and the vessel or vessel, both in the part of the mouthpiece and in the base thereof.
En una primera realización, que resulta ser la más simple, el módulo estabilizador para vasos se constituye como un cuerpo de sección circular a modo de disco de plástico que presenta en su cara superior dos aros concéntricos roscados en tuerca o bien adaptados para acoplar por roscado al vaso de plástico, que a su vez presenta la base y la boca roscadas en tornillo. En una aplicación práctica, el aro roscado en tuerca de menor diámetro del disco se acopla a la base roscada en tornillo del vaso y el aro roscado en tuerca de mayor diámetro del disco se acopla a la boca roscada en tornillo del vaso. Con esta resolución técnica, el modulo que se reivindica es un posavasos acoplable por rosca a la base y tapa de un vaso. En una segunda realización, el módulo estabilizador para vasos se constituye como un cuerpo de sección circular a modo de disco de plástico acoplable por cuarto de giro a la base y a la tapa de un vaso de plástico o papel. Este disco de plástico presenta en su cara superior dos aros concéntricos ranurados cada uno con al menos dos muescas en L y la base y boca del vaso presentan al menos dos resaltes. En una aplicación práctica, el aro interior del disco se acopla en la base del vaso al ensamblar los resaltes de la base en las muescas en L del aro interior y cuarto de vuelta, confiriendo así estabilidad al vaso. Po su parte, el aro exterior se acopla en la boca del vaso al ensamblar los resaltes de la boca en las muescas en L del aro exterior y cuarto de vuelta, haciendo así de tapa del vaso. In a first embodiment, which turns out to be the simplest, the vessel stabilizer module is constituted as a body of circular section in the form of a plastic disc that has two concentric rings threaded in a nut or adapted for threaded coupling. to the plastic cup, which in turn presents the screw threaded base and mouth. In a practical application, the nut threaded ring of smaller diameter of the disk is coupled to the screw threaded base of the vessel and the nut threaded ring of larger diameter is coupled to the screw threaded mouth of the vessel. With this technical resolution, the module claimed is a cup holder that can be screwed to the base and lid of a glass. In a second embodiment, the stabilizer module for glasses is constituted as a body of circular section as a plastic disk attachable by quarter turn to the base and lid of a plastic or paper cup. This plastic disc has on its upper face two concentric rings grooved each one with at least two L-notches and the base and mouth of the glass have at least two projections. In a practical application, the inner ring of the disc is coupled to the base of the vessel by assembling the projections of the base into the L-notches of the inner ring and quarter turn, thus conferring stability to the vessel. For its part, the outer ring is attached to the mouth of the vessel by assembling the mouth rims in the L-notches of the outer ring and quarter turn, thus serving as the lid of the vessel.
En una realización alternativa los dos aros concéntricos presentan hilos en hélice y la base y boca del vaso presentan uñas para su acoplamiento como base estable o como tapa del vaso. En una aplicación práctica, el aro interior se acopla en la base del vaso al ensamblar las uñas de la base en los hilos en hélice del aro interior y cuarto de vuelta, confiriendo así estabilidad al vaso. El aro exterior se acopla en la boca del vaso al ensamblar las uñas de la boca en los hilos en hélice del aro exterior y cuarto de vuelta, haciendo así de tapa del vaso. En estas realizaciones descritas, la superficie visible del portavasos objeto de la presente invención puede ser soporte publicitario o soporte para la identificación de la bebida. In an alternative embodiment, the two concentric rings have propeller threads and the base and mouth of the vessel have nails for coupling as a stable base or as a vessel lid. In a practical application, the inner ring is engaged in the base of the vessel by assembling the base nails into the helix threads of the inner ring and quarter turn, thus conferring stability to the vessel. The outer ring is attached to the mouth of the vessel by assembling the nails of the mouth into the helix threads of the outer ring and quarter turn, thus serving as the lid of the vessel. In these described embodiments, the visible surface of the cup holder object of the present invention can be advertising support or support for the identification of the beverage.
En una realización diferente el acoplamiento del posavasos con el vaso se realiza a base de presión, siendo este acoplamiento menos seguro que los anteriormente descritos, sin resistencia a presiones y con la rosca o el sistema de acople de aros concéntricos con la boca o base mediante ranuras y muescas o bien hilos en hélice y uñas confiriendo el cuarto de giro un acoplamiento muy seguro. En una tercera realización, él módulo estabilizador para vasos apto como tapa y posavasos se constituye como un cuerpo de sección circular semejante a un disco con una volumetría sensiblemente mayor y en el cual destaca un borde perimetral que sobresale en mayor o menor grado y que delimita, a modo de panel protector, una superficie notablemente plana, contando con una pestaña o saliente perimetral en su parte inferior que dibuja una guía o similar en que se asienta y encaja la embocadura del vaso. Novedosamente, el extremo inferior del borde perimetral sobresaliente a modo de panel protector y que hace ángulo con la superficie plana presenta un recoveco o recodo sensiblemente rehundido que forma un canal en todo el perímetro que circunvala la susodicha superficie plana. De este modo, este módulo, además de actuar como tapa del vaso encajando con su embocadura mediante la pestaña o saliente perimetral descrito, gracias a este canal, se convierte en un posavasos estabilizador al encajar con la base del vaso. In a different embodiment, the coupling of the cup holder with the vessel is carried out on a pressure basis, this coupling being less safe than those described above, without resistance to pressures and with the thread or the coupling system of concentric rings with the mouth or base by grooves and notches or threads in propeller and nails giving the quarter turn a very secure coupling. In a third embodiment, the stabilizer module for vessels suitable as a lid and coasters is constituted as a body of circular section similar to a disk with a significantly larger volumetry and in which a perimeter edge that stands out to a greater or lesser degree and that delimits , as a protective panel, a remarkably flat surface, with a flange or perimeter projection in its lower part that draws a guide or similar in which the mouth of the vessel sits and fits. Novelly, the lower end of the protruding perimeter edge as a protective panel and at an angle to the flat surface has a recess or recess that is substantially recessed, forming a channel around the perimeter that circles the said flat surface. In this way, this module, in addition to acting as a lid of the vessel, fitting with its mouth by means of the flange or perimeter projection described, thanks to this channel, it becomes a stabilizer coaster by fitting with the base of the vessel.
Para conseguir tal encaje, el vaso, taza, copa o recipiente similar, cuya base inferior queda apoyada en la superficie plana del módulo, presenta en la parte exterior de dicha base un reborde saliente, adecuadamente dimensionado para ensamblarse, a presión y mediante empuje, en el canal existente en el módulo descrito. To achieve such a fitting, the vessel, cup, cup or similar container, whose lower base is supported on the flat surface of the module, has on the outside of said base a projecting flange, suitably sized to be assembled, under pressure and by pushing, in the existing channel in the module described.
Este reborde saliente se extiende en todo el perímetro exterior de la base del vaso o bien en al menos un tramo del mismo. Esta opción de conformación responde a la necesidad de facilitar el encaje rápido y seguro de ambas piezas, es decir, el módulo en función de posavasos y el vaso propiamente dicho. Si el reborde saliente se prolonga en todo el perímetro de la base del vaso, la fuerza de empuje que debe aplicar el usuario será mayor. Si el reborde saliente se prolonga en uno o más tramos de la base del vaso, debidamente secuenciados, la fuerza de empuje será menor al tener que vencer una menor resistencia y la firmeza del acople entre el módulo en función de posavasos y el vaso será igual de firme y sólida, quedando el vaso perfectamente estable por la acción del módulo. Breve descripción de los dibujos This protruding flange extends over the entire outer perimeter of the base of the vessel or at least one section thereof. This conformation option responds to the need to facilitate quick and safe fitting of both pieces, that is, the module based on coasters and the glass itself. If the protruding flange extends over the entire perimeter of the base of the vessel, the pushing force that the user must apply will be greater. If the protruding flange is prolonged in one or more sections of the base of the vessel, properly sequenced, the thrust force will be less as it has to overcome a lower resistance and the firmness of the coupling between the module depending on coasters and the vessel will be the same firm and solid, the glass being perfectly stable by the action of the module.

En estas figuras se detalla de forma explícita la conformación de la invención que se reivindica y que se concreta en un módulo estabilizador que resulta ser apto y plenamente funcional si se aplica en la embocadura de vasos, tazas y similares como tapa protectora o bien si se aplica en la base de tales vasos, tazas o similares como posavasos, aportando una mayor estabilidad a los susodichos recipientes y evitando su volcado accidental y el derrame del liquido contenido. En las figuras 1 y 2 se muestra una primera realización preferente de la presente invención, en la cual el modulo estabilizador se concibe como un cuerpo de sección circular a modo de disco volumétricamente plano (1 a) acoplable a la base (3) y boca (4) de un vaso (2), siendo preferentemente tal disco plano (1a) de plástico y presentando medios de ensamblaje y acople con la base (3) y boca (4) de un vaso (2) que se concretan en su cara superior en dos aros concéntricos roscados (5) y (6) en tuerca o bien adaptados para acoplar por roscado o por presión a la base (3) y a la boca (4), roscadas en tornillo, de un vaso (2) de plástico. El aro concéntrico roscado en tuerca de menor diámetro (5) se acopla a la base roscada (7) en tornillo del vaso (2). El aro concéntrico roscado en tuerca de mayor diámetro (6) se acopla a la boca roscada (8) en tornillo del vaso (2). These figures explicitly detail the conformation of the invention that is claimed and that is specified in a stabilizer module that turns out to be suitable and fully functional if it is applied in the mouth of vessels, cups and the like as a protective cap or if applied at the base of such glasses, cups or the like as coasters, providing greater stability to the aforementioned containers and avoiding their accidental dumping and spilling of the contained liquid. A first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figures 1 and 2, in which the stabilizer module is conceived as a volumetrically flat circular section body (1 a) attachable to the base (3) and mouth (4) of a glass (2), preferably such a flat disk (1a) of plastic and presenting assembly and coupling means with the base (3) and mouth (4) of a glass (2) that are concreted on its face upper in two concentric threaded rings (5) and (6) in nut or adapted to be threaded or by pressure to the base (3) and to the mouth (4), screw threaded, of a plastic cup (2) .

En las figuras 7, 8, 9 y 10 se muestra una tercera realización, en la cual el módulo estabilizador de vaso se conforma como un cuerpo de sección circular a modo de disco sensiblemente abultado (1 b). A third embodiment is shown in Figures 7, 8, 9 and 10, in which the vessel stabilizer module is shaped as a substantially bulky disk-shaped circular section body (1 b).
En la figura 7 se muestra este disco sensiblemente abultado (1 b) que dibuja una superficie plana (15) delimitada perimetralmente por un borde sobresaliente (17) en mayor o menor grado. En el extremo inferior del borde perimetral sobresaliente (17), en ángulo con la superficie plana (15) descrita, presenta un recoveco o recodo sensiblemente rehundido, formando un canal (16) que recorre todo el perímetro que circunvala la susodicha superficie plana (15). Los medios de ensamblaje y acople con la base (3) y boca (4) del vaso (2) se concretan justamente, por una parte, en este canal (16) que permite el encaje con un reborde saliente (18) de la base (3) del vaso (2) mientras que el encaje con la boca (4) del vaso (2) se consigue mediante al menos una pestaña o saliente perimetral (20) del disco sensiblemente abultado (1 b) que perfila una guía o similar para asentar la embocadura del vaso (2) que opcionalmente cuenta con un refuerzo perimetral (19). En esta figura 7 se muestra también en detalle el recipiente, representando en este ejemplo de realización como un vaso (2), el cual presenta en su parte inferior o base (3) un reborde saliente (18), adecuadamente dimensionado para encajar, a presión y mediante empuje, en el canal (16) existente en el disco sensiblemente abultado (1 b) ya descrito, extendiéndose este reborde saliente (18) en todo el perímetro exterior de la base (3) o bien en al menos un tramo de la misma. Cuando el disco sensiblemente abultado (1 b) actúa como tapa, la embocadura del vaso, con un refuerzo perimetral (19) que sobresale, se apoya en al menos una pestaña o saliente perimetral (20) del susodicho disco sensiblemente abultado (1 b). Figure 7 shows this substantially bulky disk (1 b) that draws a flat surface (15) bounded perimeter by an overhanging edge (17) to a greater or lesser degree. At the lower end of the protruding perimeter edge (17), at an angle to the flat surface (15) described, it has a recess or recess substantially recessed, forming a channel (16) that runs along the entire perimeter that surrounds the above-mentioned flat surface (15 ). The assembly and coupling means with the base (3) and mouth (4) of the vessel (2) are concretized precisely, on the one hand, in this channel (16) that allows the fitting with a projecting flange (18) of the base (3) of the vessel (2) while the fitting with the mouth (4) of the vessel (2) is achieved by at least one eyelash or perimeter projection (20) of the substantially bulging disc (1 b) that outlines a guide or the like to seat the mouth of the vessel (2) that optionally has a perimeter reinforcement (19). In this figure 7 the container is also shown in detail, representing in this example of embodiment as a vessel (2), which has in its lower part or base (3) a projection flange (18), suitably sized to fit, to pressure and by pushing, in the channel (16) existing in the substantially bulky disc (1 b) already described, this protruding flange (18) extending along the entire outer perimeter of the base (3) or at least one section thereof . When the substantially bulging disc (1 b) acts as a cover, the mouthpiece of the vessel, with a protruding perimeter reinforcement (19), rests on at least one perimeter flange or projection (20) of the above substantially bulky disc (1 b) .
En las figuras 8 y 9 se muestran sendos ejemplos en los que el módulo estabilizador actúa como tapa (figura 8), con el refuerzo perimetral (19) de la embocadura del vaso (2) apoyado en al menos una pestaña o saliente perimetral (20) del disco sensiblemente abultado (1 b), o bien actúa como posavasos (figura 9), quedando debidamente encajado en este caso último caso el reborde saliente (18) de la parte inferior o base (3) del vaso (2) en el canal (16) que recorre todo el perímetro colindante con la superficie plana (15) en que se posa la base (3) del vaso (2) o, en su caso, que recorre uno o más tramos de la base (3) del vaso (2), debidamente secuenciados. Lógicamente, la superficie plana (15) está adecuadamente dimensionada de acuerdo con la base (3) del vaso (2). Figures 8 and 9 show two examples in which the stabilizer module acts as a cover (figure 8), with the perimeter reinforcement (19) of the mouth of the vessel (2) supported by at least one flange or perimeter projection (20 ) of the noticeably bulky disc (1 b), or acts as a coaster (figure 9), the projection flange (18) of the bottom or base (3) of the vessel (2) being properly fitted in this case. channel (16) that runs along the entire perimeter adjacent to the flat surface (15) on which the base (3) of the vessel (2) perches or, where appropriate, that runs one or more sections of the base (3) of the glass (2), properly sequenced. Logically, the flat surface (15) is suitably sized according to the base (3) of the vessel (2).
En la figura 10 se muestra un corte del conjunto vaso (2) y módulo estabilizador (1) en una imagen comparativa de dicho módulo actuando como tapa y posavasos conjuntamente, con las partes ya descritas. Figure 10 shows a section of the vessel (2) and stabilizer module (1) in a comparative image of said module acting as a lid and coasters together, with the parts already described.
En base a lo descrito es fácil advertir que el módulo que se reivindica reúne en una sola pieza las características técnicas necesarias para permitir su doble aplicación como tapa protectora y como posavasos. Based on what has been described, it is easy to notice that the claimed module has the necessary technical characteristics in one piece to allow its double application as a protective cap and as a coaster.
Respecto a su uso, la ventaja más evidente y notoria es la estabilidad que proporciona al vaso, taza o similar, dotándolos de un punto de apoyo suficientemente amplio para acoger la totalidad de la base de tales recipientes, evitando su volcado, el derrame del líquido contenido, las humedades que ello causa y las inevitables manchas que provoca, con el consiguiente ahorro de la limpieza posterior. With regard to its use, the most obvious and obvious advantage is the stability it provides to the glass, cup or similar, providing them with a sufficiently wide support point to accommodate the entire base of such containers, avoiding their dumping, spilling of the liquid content, the humidity that it causes and the inevitable stains it causes, with the consequent saving of subsequent cleaning.
Obviamente, la utilidad del módulo estabilizador resulta especialmente interesante para los recipientes ya mencionados que están fabricados en material celulósico o en material plástico de poca densidad, los cuales son muy ligeros e inestables y con una conformación sensiblemente cónica, con la parte inferior de menor diámetro respecto de la parte superior, lo que incrementa su inestabilidad. En cuanto al uso práctico, el acoplamiento entre el módulo en función posavasos y el vaso es intuitivo en cualquiera de sus realizaciones, tanto cuando los medios de acople son mediante rosca, mediante los dos aros concéntricos con muescas y/o hélices y uñas o mediante el acople entre el reborde de la base del vaso y el canal en el módulo. En esta última realización, basta separar el módulo en su función de tapa y, sin girarlo ni manipularlo en modo alguno, colocarlo sobre una superficie de apoyo (incluso la propia mano del usuario), colocar el vaso sobre la superficie plana del módulo y empujar. El reborde o saliente de la base del vaso encaja de forma inmediata y sencilla en el canal perimetral del módulo. Puesto que este canal recorre todo o parte del perímetro que circunvala la superficie plana en que se asienta la base de vaso, no es necesario buscar un punto de encaje concreto. No importa cómo se coloque el vaso, el encaje entre módulo y vaso es seguro. Obviously, the utility of the stabilizer module is especially interesting for the aforementioned containers that are made of cellulosic material or low density plastic material, which are very light and unstable and have a substantially conical conformation, with the lower part of smaller diameter with respect to the upper part, which increases its instability. As for the practical use, the coupling between the module in coasters and the vessel is intuitive in any of its embodiments, both when the coupling means are by means of thread, by means of the two concentric rings with notches and / or propellers and nails or by means of the coupling between the rim of the base of the vessel and the channel in the module. In this last embodiment, it is enough to separate the module in its function of cover and, without turning it or manipulating it in any way, place it on a support surface (even the user's own hand), place the glass on the flat surface of the module and push . The rim or projection of the base of the vessel fits immediately and easily into the perimeter channel of the module. Since this channel travels all or part of the perimeter that surrounds the flat surface on which the vessel base sits, it is not necessary to look for a specific fitting point. No matter how the vessel is placed, the fit between module and vessel is safe.
Una de las ventajas más sustanciales del nuevo módulo es que la misma pieza actúa como tapa y como posavasos, es decir, no hay que añadir ningún elemento nuevo al producto que se comercializa, lo que facilita su almacenaje y transporte, al tiempo que no incrementa su coste. One of the most substantial advantages of the new module is that the same piece acts as a lid and as a coaster, that is, it is not necessary to add any new element to the product that is marketed, which facilitates its storage and transport, while not increasing its cost
De igual modo, el módulo, en su conformación básica y original acoplado en la embocadura del vaso como tapa protectora, es decir, tal y como sale de fábrica y se pone a la venta, permite el apilado de vasos sucesivos, puesto que la tapa de uno se convierte en la base del anterior, encajando uno con otro de forma sucesiva y permitiendo apilar un número razonable de vasos en un espacio mínimo, consiguiéndose este efecto especialmente en la realización que comprende el acople entre reborde de la base del vaso y el canal en el módulo estabilizador. Similarly, the module, in its basic and original conformation coupled to the mouth of the vessel as a protective cap, that is, as it leaves the factory and is put on sale, allows the stacking of successive vessels, since the lid from one it becomes the base of the previous one, fitting one with the other in succession and allowing a reasonable number of vessels to be stacked in a minimum space, this effect being achieved especially in the embodiment comprising the coupling between flange of the base of the vessel and the channel in the stabilizer module.
Esta facilidad de apilado de unidades se traduce en una mayor facilidad y seguridad en el transporte de diversos vasos conjuntos por cualquiera de las soluciones técnicas descritas, lo cual favorece tanto al usuario/cliente, que puede adquirir varios vasos al mismo tiempo ya que dispone de una solución práctica para transportarlos con seguridad, como al vendedor, que ve incrementadas sus ventas. This ease of stacking units translates into greater ease and safety in the transport of various joint vessels by any of the technical solutions described, which favors both the user / customer, who can acquire several glasses at the same time as it has a practical solution to transport them safely, like the seller, who sees increased sales.
El nuevo módulo estabilizador es susceptible de admitir grafismos y por tanto de actuar como soporte publicitario, al igual que ocurre con otros posavasos, por ejemplo los tradicionales de estructura laminar. Otra posibilidad es que tales grafismos sean también un elemento diferenciador que permita al consumidor distinguir su vaso entre otros varios. De igual modo, el módulo es susceptible de presentar al menos una perforación que permita introducir una caña para degustar la bebida, tal y como sucede en tapas ya existentes en el mercado. No supone un incremento de coste puesto que las mejoras técnicas del módulo y del vaso son fácilmente realizables. The new stabilizer module is capable of admitting graphics and therefore of acting as advertising support, as is the case with other coasters, for example the traditional laminar structure. Another possibility is that such graphics are also a differentiating element that allows the consumer to distinguish his glass among several others. In the same way, the module is capable of presenting at least one perforation that allows the introduction of a cane to taste the beverage, as is the case in tapas already existing in the market. It is not an increase in cost since the technical improvements of the module and the vessel are easily achievable.
Con estas características, el nuevo módulo estabilizador deviene un artículo único, fácilmente adaptable en confirmación geométrica a la de cualquier recipiente del tipo vaso, taza o similar con el que forme pareja, con un coste de producción asequible y fácilmente manipulable por parte del consumidor. Y por supuesto, con la notable ventaja de ser un posavasos realmente estable puesto que queda vinculado de forma segura con el vaso, formando un conjunto sólidamente unido. Señalar, por último, que el módulo que se reivindica, especialmente pensado para solventar la estabilidad de vasos, tazas, copas y similares, es igualmente aplicable a recipientes de otros usos, por ejemplo del tipo envase como botes o similares, siempre y cuando incorporen una tapa plana. No se considera necesario hacer más extensa esta descripción para que cualquier experto en la materia comprenda el alcance de la invención y las ventajas que de la misma se derivan. Los materiales, forma y tamaño serán susceptibles de variación siempre y cuando ello no suponga una alteración en la esencialidad del invento. Los términos en que se ha redactado esta memoria deberán ser tomados siempre en sentido amplio y no limitativo. With these characteristics, the new stabilizer module becomes a unique article, easily adaptable in geometric confirmation to that of any vessel of the glass, cup or similar type with which it forms a partner, with an affordable and easily manipulated production cost by the consumer. And of course, with the remarkable advantage of being a really stable coasters since it is securely linked to the vessel, forming a solidly attached set. Lastly, note that the claimed module, specially designed to solve the stability of glasses, cups, cups and the like, is equally applicable to containers of other uses, for example of the type of packaging such as cans or similar, provided they incorporate a flat lid It is not considered necessary to make this description more extensive so that any person skilled in the art understands the scope of the invention and the advantages derived therefrom. The materials, shape and size will be subject to variation as long as this does not imply an alteration in the essentiality of the invention. The terms in which this report has been written must always be taken in a broad and non-limiting sense.
