DISPOSITIVO CONTENEDOR DE ADITIVOS PARA MEZCLAR EN PREPARADOS ALIMENTARIOS ENVASADOS ADDITIVE CONTAINER DEVICE FOR MIXING IN PACKAGED FOOD PREPARATIONS
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La invención, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un dispositivo contenedor de aditivos para mezclar en preparados alimentarios envasados que aporta, a la función a que se destina, ventajas y características, que se describen en detalle más adelante, que suponen una mejora del estado actual de la técnica. The invention, as expressed in the wording of the present specification, refers to a device containing additives for mixing in packaged food preparations that provides, to the function to which it is intended, advantages and characteristics, which are described in detail later , which represent an improvement of the current state of the art.
El objeto de la presente invención recae, concretamente, en un dispositivo que contiene una dosis de aditivo, por ejemplo saborizante, edulcorante, etc., previsto para ser incorporado, en el momento de su consumo, en un producto alimentario envasado preferentemente líquido, por ejemplo, un preparado de alimentación clínica, dietética, deportiva, etc., diseñado para poder incorporarse de modo adicional a cualquier envase de preparados alimentarios, constituyendo un elemento que se dispensa y/o comercializa de modo independiente, o directamente para poder ir incorporado en el propio envase del preparado y mezclarse posteriormente, formando parte del mismo producto desde su fabricación, permitiendo en ambos casos utilizarse como pajita para sorber el producto una vez efectuada la mezcla, el cual, siendo del tipo que se configura, esencialmente, a partir de un contendor, formado por un cilindro externo o pajita, donde se incorpora el aditivo a mezclar, y un cilindro interno con el extremo inferior en punta que perfora el extremo inferior del cilindro externo; y un cabezal perforador puntiagudo apto para penetrar en el cilindro externo del contenedor y empujar el interno para provocar dicha perforación, presenta una serie de perfeccionamientos relativos, por una parte, a la incorporación de unas bandas laterales flexibles sujetas por sus dos extremos en el cilindro externo, que mejoran el sistema de aletas que prevé el sistema anteriormente conocido, para que el contenedor actúe como batidora y facilitar la mezcla del producto, y por otra parte a la incorporación de unas aberturas que evitan el apelmazamiento del aditivo en el contenedor, al perforarlo y facilitan la descarga. CAMPO DE APLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN The object of the present invention falls, specifically, in a device that contains a dose of additive, for example flavoring, sweetening, etc., intended to be incorporated, at the time of its consumption, into a food product preferably liquid, for example, a preparation of clinical, dietetic, sports food, etc., designed to be incorporated in addition to any package of food preparations, constituting an element that is dispensed and / or marketed independently, or directly to be incorporated in the packaging of the preparation itself and subsequently mixed, forming part of the same product from its manufacture, allowing in both cases to be used as a straw to suck the product once the mixture has been made, which, being of the type that is configured, essentially, from a container, formed by an external cylinder or straw, where the additive to be mixed is incorporated, and an internal cylinder with the bottom tip end that pierces the lower end of the outer cylinder; and a pointed piercing head capable of penetrating the external cylinder of the container and pushing the inner one to cause said perforation, presents a series of relative improvements, on the one hand, to the incorporation of flexible side bands fastened by their two ends to the cylinder external, that improve the system of fins provided by the previously known system, so that the container acts as a blender and facilitate the mixing of the product, and on the other hand to the incorporation of openings that prevent caking of the additive in the container, perforate it and facilitate the download. FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION
El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de envases y productos alimentarios envasados, centrándose particularmente en el ámbito de los contenedores de aditivos para mezclar. The field of application of the present invention is part of the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of packaging and food products packaged, focusing particularly in the field of containers of additives to mix.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Como es sabido, existen preparados alimentarios y bebidas a los que, por diferentes motivos, en el momento de su consumo se les añade algún tipo de aditivo. As is known, there are food preparations and beverages to which, for different reasons, at the time of their consumption, some type of additive is added.
Por ejemplo, en preparados clínicos, como pueden ser los de dieta de nutrición enteral consistentes en suplementos alimenticios o fórmulas químicamente definidas con escasa variedad de sabores, se recurre a la incorporación de aditivos aromatizantes o saborizantes que proporcionan diferentes aromas y sabores para ampliar el abanico de opciones a elección del usuario. For example, in clinical preparations, such as those of enteral nutrition diet consisting of food supplements or chemically defined formulas with a low variety of flavors, the incorporation of flavoring or flavoring additives that provide different aromas and flavors is used to expand the range of options at the user's choice.
Del mismo modo en otro tipo de bebidas o preparados o dietas alimentarias, por ejemplo deportivas o para control de peso o específicas de cualquier índole, también se recurre a la incorporación de aditivos saborizantes, edulcorantes o para añadir proteínas u otros compuestos. In the same way in other types of beverages or food preparations or diets, for example sports or weight control or specific of any kind, it is also used the incorporation of flavoring additives, sweeteners or to add proteins or other compounds.
En cualquier caso, el problema suele ser que dichos aditivos se tienen que adquirir de manera independiente y añadir mediante medios arcaicos que, en la mayoría de los casos, sencillamente se trata de verter el contenido de un sobre o envase de aditivo a través del tapón abierto del envase de preparado alimenticio y, tras volver a cerrarlo, agitar para conseguir la mezcla. Y ello, sobre todo si se trata de productos alimentarios clínicos, puede suponer una operación que el personal hospitalario no puede asumir o, si la debe realizar el propio paciente puede suponer todo un reto para él al estar convaleciente o con dificultad de movimiento, o si se trata de productos para deportistas supone llevar encima ambos tipos de envases y tomarse el tiempo en efectuar la mezcla entre ambos, a menudo en condiciones poco favorables, etc. In any case, the problem is usually that these additives have to be purchased independently and added by archaic means that, in most cases, simply involves pouring the contents of an envelope or container of additive through the stopper open the food preparation container and, after re-closing, shake to obtain the mixture. And this, especially in the case of clinical food products, can mean an operation that hospital staff can not take on or, if the patient has to perform it, it can be a challenge for him to be convalescent or with difficulty moving, or in the case of products for athletes, it involves carrying both types of containers and taking the time to carry out the mixing between both, often under unfavorable conditions, etc.
Para solventar estos inconvenientes, el propio solicitante es titular de una patente que, con número de solicitud PCT2017/07473, referida a un dispositivo contenedor de aditivos para mezclar en preparados alimentarios envasados cuya finalidad es facilitar a los usuarios dicha incorporación de este tipo de aditivos en tales preparados, para poder hacer la mezcla de manera práctica, rápida y cómoda, en cualquier lugar o situación, sin riesgo de que exista contaminación externa y, de manera que, además, no suponga un sobre coste de fabricación que repercuta en el coste económico del producto final. To solve these problems, the applicant himself is the owner of a patent that, with Application number PCT2017 / 07473, referred to a device containing additives to be mixed in packaged food preparations whose purpose is to facilitate users the incorporation of this type of additives in such preparations, to be able to make the mixture in a practical, fast and convenient way , in any place or situation, without risk of external contamination and, so that, in addition, it does not suppose an over manufacturing cost that has repercussions on the economic cost of the final product.
Sin embargo, el dispositivo que desarrolla dicha patente, si bien cumple satisfactoriamente con los objetivos señalados, presenta ciertos aspectos susceptibles de ser mejorados. However, the device developed by said patent, while satisfactorily fulfilling the aforementioned objectives, presents certain aspects that can be improved.
En particular los relativos a la incorporación de medios para facilitar la mezcla del aditivo con el preparado alimenticio, ya que, debido a la densidad del mismo, puesto que suele ser un fluido bastante denso debido al tipo de productos alimenticios que contiene, dichos medios para hacer que el contenedor sirva también de batidora que permite remover el contenido del envase una vez vertido el aditivo en el mismo han de ser suficientemente fuertes y efectivos, cosa que no estaba bien resuelta en la patente principal. In particular those relating to the incorporation of means to facilitate the mixing of the additive with the food preparation, since, due to the density thereof, since it is usually a rather dense fluid due to the type of food products it contains, said means for making the container also serve as a blender that allows the contents of the container to be removed once the additive has been poured into it must be sufficiently strong and effective, something that was not well resolved in the main patent.
Además, otro de los aspectos a mejorar, y que por tanto son objetivo del presente certificado de adición, son los relativos a la descarga del aditivo cuando se perfora el contenedor, ya que, aunque se produce una abertura en su parte inferior para provocar dicha descarga por gravedad, al tratarse de un contenedor cerrado superiormente, puede producirse un apelmazamiento del aditivo que dificulte e impida dicha caída por gravedad, obligando al usuario a efectuar sacudidas o movimientos similares para forzar dicha caída. El objetivo de la presente invención es, pues, un nuevo dispositivo contenedor de aditivos para mezclar en preparados alimentarios envasados con unos perfeccionamientos enfocados a mejorar dichos aspectos del mismo, debiendo señalarse que, al menos por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ningún otro dispositivo de dicho tipo ni ninguna otra invención de aplicación similar que presente unas características técnicas y constitutivas iguales o semejantes a las que concretamente presenta el que aquí se preconiza, según se reivindica. In addition, another of the aspects to be improved, and which are therefore the objective of this certificate of addition, are those relating to the discharge of the additive when the container is perforated, since, although an opening is produced in its lower part to cause said Gravity unloading, as it is a closed top container, can cause a caking of the additive that hinders and prevents such fall by gravity, forcing the user to perform shaking or similar movements to force the fall. The objective of the present invention is, therefore, a new device containing additives for mixing in packaged food preparations with improvements aimed at improving said aspects thereof, it should be noted that, at least on the part of the applicant, the existence of any another device of this type or any other invention of similar application that presents technical and constitutive characteristics equal or similar to those that specifically presents the one advocated here, as claimed.
EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN El dispositivo contenedor de aditivos para mezclar en preparados alimentarios envasados que propone la presente invención, resuelve la problemática descrita mediante la incorporación de unas bandas laterales flexibles sujetas por sus dos extremos en el cilindro externo, en el caso de la falta de efectividad para que el contenedor actúe como batidora motivada por la ineficacia de las aletas laterales previstas inicialmente frente lo denso que es el producto que constituye un preparado de nutrición, y mediante la incorporación de unas aberturas en ambos cilindros del contenedor, en el caso de la falta de efectividad en la caída del producto por gravedad motivada por la formación de apelmazamientos en el contenedor al perforarlo. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION The container device of additives for mixing in packaged food preparations proposed by the present invention, solves the described problem by incorporating flexible side bands held by their two ends in the external cylinder, in the case of lack of effectiveness so that the container acts as a blender motivated by the ineffectiveness of the lateral fins initially provided in front of the dense that is the product that constitutes a preparation of nutrition, and by incorporating openings in both cylinders of the container, in the case of the lack of effectiveness in the fall of the product by gravity caused by the formation of cakes in the container when drilling.
Así, y de modo más concreto, dispositivo de la invención, que contiene una dosis de aditivo, sólido o líquido, previsto para ser incorporado, en el momento de su consumo, en un producto alimentario envasado preferentemente líquido, que, o bien constituye un elemento independiente al envase que se acopla al gollete del tapón una vez abierto este, o bien va incorporado en el propio envase del preparado, formando parte del producto desde su fabricación, y que en cualquier caso permite mezclarse con el preparado y utilizarse como pajita para sorber el producto una vez efectuada la mezcla, se configura, de manera ya conocida por la patente anteriormente citada, a partir de: - un conjunto contenedor, formado por un cilindro externo, que constituye el contenedor del producto aditivo a mezclar propiamente dicho, consistiendo en una especie de segmento de pajita que está cerrado en sus respectivos extremos superior e inferior con precinto, por ejemplo termosellado, y por un cilindro interno, alojado dentro del cilindro externo, en este caso abierto por ambos extremos, con un diámetro y longitud ligeramente inferiores, y cuyo extremo inferior termina en punta (corte al bies); Thus, and more specifically, device of the invention, which contains a dose of additive, solid or liquid, intended to be incorporated, at the time of its consumption, in a food product packaged preferably liquid, which, or constitutes a element independent of the container that is attached to the neck of the cap once opened this, or is incorporated into the packaging itself, forming part of the product since its manufacture, and in any case allows mixing with the preparation and used as a straw for slurrying the product once the mixture has been made, is configured, in a manner known from the aforementioned patent, from: a container assembly, formed by an external cylinder, which constitutes the container of the additive product to be properly mixed, consisting of in a kind of straw segment that is closed at its respective upper and lower ends with seal, for example heat sealing, and by a cylinder in a cylinder, housed inside the external cylinder, in this case open at both ends, with a slightly smaller diameter and length, and whose lower end ends in a point (cut to the bias);
- y un cabezal perforador que, provisto de un cuerpo cilindrico puntiagudo de diámetro adecuado para penetrar ajustadamente en el cilindro externo, se inserta en este a través del extremo superior rompiendo su precinto, para empujar hacia abajo el cilindro interior, haciendo que este a su vez, por su parte inferior en punta, rompa el precinto del extremo inferior del cilindro externo, haciendo que su contenido caiga dentro del envase del preparado en cuyo gollete se encuentra incorporado el dispositivo. - and a piercing head which, provided with a pointed cylindrical body of adequate diameter to penetrate tightly into the external cylinder, is inserted therein through the upper end breaking its seal, to push down the inner cylinder, making it at its Once, on its lower tip, break the seal of the lower end of the external cylinder, causing its contents to fall into the container of the preparation in whose neck the device is incorporated.
Y, a partir de esta configuración, según la presente invención, dicho dispositivo se distingue por comprender, en la parte lateral inferior del cilindro externo, unos medios para facilitar la mezcla del aditivo con el preparado contenido en el envase, cuando se hace girar el dispositivo, una vez perforado, con el propio cabezal perforador, los cuales, en lugar de consistir en aletas laterales fijadas por su parte superior que se elevan al efectuar dicho giro del dispositivo, están determinado por unas bandas flexibles, al menos dos, sujetas por sus dos extremos superior e inferior a dicha parte lateral inferior del cilindro externo, y de tal manera que dichos extremos están unidos al cuerpo del cilindro exterior a menor distancia que la longitud que presentan las bandas, de modo que su zona media o central define un bucle que constituye la parte de las mismas que actúa para batir, de modo similar a como lo hacen las varillas de una batidora manual. And, from this configuration, according to the present invention, said device is distinguished by comprising, in the lower lateral part of the external cylinder, means for facilitating the mixing of the additive with the preparation contained in the container, when the device is rotated, once perforated, with the perforating head itself, which, instead of to consist of lateral flaps fixed on their upper part that rise when said rotation of the device is made, are determined by flexible bands, at least two, fastened at their two upper and lower ends to said lower lateral part of the external cylinder, and such that said ends are joined to the body of the outer cylinder at a shorter distance than the length of the bands, so that its middle or central zone defines a loop that constitutes the part thereof that acts to beat, similarly to as do the rods of a hand mixer.
Con ello, dichas bandas, al estar sujetar por sus dos extremos y formar dicho bucle, determinan un elemento mucho más fuerte y efectivo para actuar como batidor de un fluido denso como es un preparado alimenticio ya que, aún siendo preferentemente líquido, siempre es más denso que el agua u otro líquido. Por ello, dichas bandas, preferentemente, son de material plástico, lógicamente apto para uso alimentario, pudiendo ser más o menos anchas e incluso incorporar más de dos, en todo caso, repartidas radialmente alrededor del cuerpo del cilindro externo del contenedor. Paralelamente, el dispositivo también se distingue, según la presente invención, por comprender unas aberturas en el contenedor, concretamente al menos una en el cilindro interno y otra en el cilindro externo, de similar forma y tamaño, las cuales están dispuestas en una posición estudiada para que, en posición de reposo, es decir, antes de utilizar el dispositivo y perforar el contenedor, queden situadas en posiciones no coincidentes y, consecuentemente no afecten a la estanqueidad del contenedor, pero que, al desplazarse un cilindro respecto del otro cuando se empuja el cilindro interior con el cabezal para perforar el exterior, quedan en posiciones coincidentes, preferentemente en un punto por encima de la zona media del contenedor, y consecuentemente, eviten la formación de apelmazamientos, facilitando la caída por gravedad del aditivo contenido en el cilindro interior hacia el envase. With this, said bands, being held by its two ends and forming said loop, determine a much stronger and effective element to act as a beater of a dense fluid as it is a food preparation since, although it is preferably liquid, it is always more dense than water or other liquid. Therefore, said bands, preferably, are plastic material, logically suitable for food use, can be more or less wide and even incorporate more than two, in any case, distributed radially around the body of the external cylinder of the container. In parallel, the device also distinguishes, according to the present invention, by comprising openings in the container, specifically at least one in the internal cylinder and another in the external cylinder, of similar shape and size, which are arranged in a studied position so that, in the resting position, that is, before using the device and perforating the container, they are located in mismatched positions and, consequently, do not affect the tightness of the container, but when one cylinder moves relative to the other when pushes the inner cylinder with the head to perforate the outside, are in matching positions, preferably at a point above the middle area of the container, and consequently, prevent the formation of caking, facilitating the fall by gravity of the additive contained in the cylinder inside towards the container.
El descrito dispositivo contenedor de aditivos para mezclar en preparados alimentarios envasados consiste, pues, en una estructura innovadora de características y constitución desconocidas hasta ahora para el fin a que se destina, razones que unidas a su utilidad práctica, la dotan de fundamento suficiente para obtener el privilegio de exclusividad que se solicita. The described device containing additives for mixing in packaged food preparations therefore consists of an innovative structure of characteristics and constitution hitherto unknown for the purpose for which it is intended, reasons which together with its usefulness practice, they provide it with sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓN PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
A la vista de las mencionadas figuras, y de acuerdo con la numeración adoptada en ella, se puede apreciar en ellas opciones no limitativas del dispositivo contenedor de aditivos para mezclar en preparados alimentarios envasados preconizado, el cual comprende las partes y elementos que se indican y describen en detalle a continuación. In view of the aforementioned figures, and in accordance with the numbering adopted therein, one can see in them non-limiting options of the device containing additives for mixing in pre-prepared packaged food preparations, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and describe in detail below.
Así, tal como se observa en la figura 1 , el dispositivo (1 ) en cuestión comprende, básicamente: un conjunto contendor (2), formado por un cilindro externo (20) o pajita, donde se incorpora el aditivo a mezclar, con sus extremos superior (21 ) e inferior (22) cerrados con precinto, y un cilindro interno (23), de menor diámetro y longitud, con extremos abiertos y siendo el extremo inferior en punta (24); y un cabezal perforador (3) provisto, al menos, de un cuerpo cilindrico puntiagudo (30) de diámetro apto para penetrar ajustadamente en el cilindro externo (20) del conjunto contenedor. Thus, as seen in Figure 1, the device (1) in question basically comprises: a container assembly (2), formed by an external cylinder (20) or straw, where the additive to be mixed is incorporated, with its upper (21) and lower (22) ends closed with seal, and an inner cylinder (23), of smaller diameter and length, with open ends and the lower end being pointed (24); and a piercing head (3) provided, at least, with a pointed cylindrical body (30) of diameter able to penetrate tightly into the external cylinder (20) of the container assembly.
La figura 2 muestra cómo, al insertar el cuerpo (30) del cabezal (3) en el conjunto contenedor (2) rompiendo el precinto del extremo superior (21 ) del cilindro externo (20), y empujar el cilindro interno (23) hacia abajo, la punta (24) de este provoca la rotura del extremo inferior (22) del cilindro externo (20) determinando la caída por gravedad de su contenido. Figure 2 shows how, by inserting the body (30) of the head (3) in the assembly container (2) breaking the seal of the upper end (21) of the external cylinder (20), and pushing the inner cylinder (23) down, the tip (24) of this causes the break of the lower end (22) of the external cylinder (20) determining the fall by gravity of its content.
En ambas figuras 1 y 2, se observa cómo, además, el conjunto contenedor (2), para actuar a modo de batidora, incorpora unas bandas laterales (26), al menos dos, ubicadas en la parte inferior del cilindro externo (20) y fijadas solidariamente al mismo por sus dos extremos superior e inferior a una distancia (d) menor que la longitud que presentan dichas bandas en posición totalmente extendida, de modo que su zona central define un bucle (b) que actúa como las varillas de una batidora cuando se hace girar dicho conjunto contenedor (2) con el cabezal perforador (3) una vez insertado en el cilindro externo (20). In both figures 1 and 2, it is observed that, in addition, the container assembly (2), to act as a blender, incorporates sidebands (26), at least two, located in the lower part of the external cylinder (20) and secured together thereto by its two upper and lower ends at a distance (d) less than the length of said bands in fully extended position, so that its central zone defines a loop (b) that acts as the rods of a blender when said container assembly (2) is rotated with the piercing head (3) once inserted in the external cylinder (20).
Las citada bandas laterales (26), preferentemente, son de material plástico de uso alimentario, con un ancho variable existiendo dos o más repartidas radialmente alrededor del cuerpo del cilindro externo (20). Said lateral strips (26), preferably, are made of plastic material for food use, with a variable width with two or more radially distributed around the body of the external cylinder (20).
Paralelamente, además, el cilindro interno (23) y el cilindro externo (20) comprenden unas aberturas (27, 27') de vaciado que, en posición de uso, abren un paso que evita apelmazamientos y facilita la caída del producto por gravedad. Concretamente, el contenedor (2) comprende, al menos, una primera abertura (27) en el cilindro interno (23) y una segunda abertura (27') en el cilindro externo (20), de similar forma y tamaño, dispuestas en una posición tal que, antes de utilizar el dispositivo y perforar el contenedor, están situadas en posiciones no coincidentes, como muestra la figura 1 , pero al usar el dispositivo y desplazar un cilindro respecto del otro empujando el cilindro interior con el cabezal, quedan en posiciones coincidentes, como muestra la figura 2. In parallel, in addition, the internal cylinder (23) and the external cylinder (20) comprise emptying openings (27, 27 ') which, in the use position, open a step that prevents caking and facilitates the falling of the product by gravity. Specifically, the container (2) comprises, at least, a first opening (27) in the internal cylinder (23) and a second opening (27 ') in the external cylinder (20), of similar shape and size, arranged in a position such that, before using the device and piercing the container, are located in mismatched positions, as shown in Figure 1, but when using the device and move one cylinder with respect to the other by pushing the inner cylinder with the head, are in positions coincident, as shown in Figure 2.
