RECIPIENTE PORTADOR DE UNA SUSTANCIA APTA PARA SU MEZCLA CONTAINER CARRYING A SUBSTANCE SUITABLE FOR MIXING
CON UN LÍCUIDO WITH A LIQUID
Descripción Description
Objeto de la invención Object of the invention
El objeto de esta invención es un recipiente portador de una sustancia apta para su mezcla con un líquido que, por sus características de conformación y uso, mejora de forma significativa los artículos similares existentes en el mercado y en el estado de la técnica actual. The object of this invention is a container that holds a substance suitable for mixing with a liquid that, due to its characteristics of shape and use, significantly improves similar articles on the market and in the current state of the art.
Más en concreto, la invención se refiere a un recipiente debidamente preparado para alojar una dosis de una primera sustancia que para su consumo suele mezclarse con una segunda sustancia líquida, siendo aplicable este recipiente en el consumo de combinados de bebidas a modo de vaso, en la toma de medicamentos u en otros usos. More specifically, the invention refers to a container duly prepared to house a dose of a first substance that for consumption is usually mixed with a second liquid substance, this container being applicable in the consumption of drink mixes as a glass, in taking medications or other uses.
Sector de la técnica Technical sector
Esta invención se ajusta en el sector que hace referencia a recipientes que son portadores de una primera sustancia destinada a ser mezclada con otra para su degustación combinada. This invention fits in the sector that refers to containers that are carriers of a first substance intended to be mixed with another for combined tasting.
Antecedentes de la invención y estado de la técnica Background of the invention and state of the art
El consumo de bebidas alcohólicas es uno de los sectores económicos que genera mayores beneficios tanto para las marcas de las bebidas como para los locales de ocio en que se consumen. Al mismo tiempo, sin embargo, es evidente la necesidad de controlar el consumo de alcohol por la dependencia que puede acabar implicando, el modo en que afecta al autocontrol del consumidor y sus consecuencias en la salud. The consumption of alcoholic beverages is one of the economic sectors that generates the greatest benefits both for the brands of the beverages and for the entertainment venues where they are consumed. At the same time, however, the need to control alcohol consumption is evident due to the dependence that it may end up involving, the way it affects the consumer's self-control and its consequences on health.
Las bebidas alcohólicas que se consumen en locales de ocio, diurno y nocturno, suelen servirse en botellas ya desprecintadas y con el riesgo de haber sido adulteradas y no corresponder con los estándares de calidad de la marca original. Una forma de controlar tanto la cantidad como la calidad de la bebida alcohólica pasaría por dispensar dosis ya preestablecidas para consumir directamente o bien combinadas con otras bebidas. Alcoholic beverages that are consumed in entertainment venues, day and night, are usually served in already unsealed bottles and with the risk of having been adulterated and do not correspond to the quality standards of the original brand. One way to control both the quantity and the quality of the alcoholic beverage would be to dispense pre-established doses to consume directly or in combination with other beverages.
Sin embargo, las bebidas que se comercializan en formatos de dosis unitarias suelen concretarse en cápsulas de café precintadas que se introducen en una cafetera que la perfora y mezcla el café con agua caliente, todo ello perfectamente programado, o bien cápsulas precintadas de crema de leche de apertura manual que el mismo usuario vierte en su café. However, the beverages that are marketed in unit dose formats tend to be sealed coffee capsules that are introduced into a coffee machine that drills it and mixes the coffee with hot water, all perfectly programmed, or sealed milk cream capsules manual opening that the user himself pours into his coffee.
A nivel de propiedad industrial existen algunas patentes que desarrollan soluciones técnicas en recipientes destinados a mezclar bebidas. Es el caso de la patente europea EP2121485 que describe un vaso con mezclador estático para la preparación de un producto líquido, el cual cuenta con una cámara que contiene“una sustancia de preparación, una abertura de entrada provista de una capa de cobertura con perforaciones permeables a los líquidos para recibir un líquido adecuado para la sustancia de preparación, una abertura de salida para descargar la bebida o plato preparado, y un mezclador estático que está en comunicación líquida con la abertura de salida.” La patente europea EP 2323923 se refiere a un sistema de bebida de posmezclado que comprende un“recipiente, un mecanismo de fijación y un cartucho. El recipiente puede contener una solución de mezcla o líquido, como agua, para mezclarse con el contenido del cartucho. El mecanismo de fijación generalmente se encuentra dentro del contenedor. El mecanismo de fijación puede comprender un conjunto de acoplamiento, una parte de perforación y un conjunto de válvula. El conjunto de acoplamiento puede generalmente recibir el cartucho dentro del mecanismo de fijación. La parte de perforación generalmente puede perforar el cartucho, liberando así el contenido del cartucho en el recipiente. El conjunto de válvula puede abrirse generalmente al acoplar el cartucho con el mecanismo de fijación. El cartucho generalmente se engancha con el mecanismo de fijación para abrir el cartucho que se va a dispensar en el contenedor, combinando así los contenidos del cartucho con el líquido dentro del contenedor para crear una bebida potable”. Por su parte el modelo de utilidad ES 1192059 se refiere a un envase para varios líquidos que consigue que dichos líquidos permanezcan sin mezclar durante el transporte y cualquier manipulación, pero que se mezclan cuando el usuario desea, generalmente justo antes de su utilización. Este sistema se concreta en una lata que comprende dos elementos, uno dentro del otro y con superficies colindantes y dotadas de medios punzantes y pestañas que intervienen en la rotura y ocultamiento de dichas superficies, permitiendo la mezcla de los líquidos contenidos en ambos envases. At the industrial property level there are some patents that develop technical solutions in containers for mixing beverages. This is the case of the European patent EP2121485 that describes a glass with a static mixer for the preparation of a liquid product, which has a chamber containing "a preparation substance, an inlet opening provided with a covering layer with permeable perforations to the liquids to receive a suitable liquid for the preparation substance, an outlet opening to discharge the prepared drink or dish, and a static mixer that is in liquid communication with the outlet opening. " European patent EP 2323923 refers to a post-mix beverage system comprising a "container, a fixing mechanism and a cartridge." The container may contain a mixing solution or liquid, such as water, to mix with the contents of the cartridge. The locking mechanism is usually located inside the container. The locking mechanism may comprise a coupling assembly, a piercing part, and a valve assembly. The coupling assembly can generally receive the cartridge within the locking mechanism. The piercing part can generally pierce the cartridge, thus releasing the contents of the cartridge into the container. The valve assembly can be generally opened by engaging the cartridge with the locking mechanism. The cartridge generally engages with the locking mechanism to open the cartridge to be dispensed in the container, thus combining the contents of the cartridge with the liquid within the container to create a drinkable beverage. For its part, utility model ES 1192059 refers to a container for various liquids that ensures that said liquids remain unmixed during transport and any handling, but that they are mixed when the user wishes, generally just before use. This system is specified in a can that comprises two elements, one inside the other and with adjoining and equipped surfaces of sharp means and tabs that intervene in the breakage and concealment of said surfaces, allowing the mixing of the liquids contained in both containers.
Las soluciones técnicas referenciadas son óptimas para los objetivos que buscan pero no resuelven el problema de cómo disponer de un recipiente que contenga una única dosis de una sustancia, preferentemente una bebida alcohólica, debidamente aislada y sellada con un medio de bloqueo que a su vez permite liberarla para su posterior mezcla con una segunda bebida aleatoria que se agrega en ese momento según el gusto del consumidor para un consumo inmediato. El mismo problema se da en la toma de ciertos medicamentos, por ejemplo en forma pulverulenta o en pastillas efervescentes que deben mezclase con agua para su ingesta. The referenced technical solutions are optimal for the objectives they seek but do not solve the problem of how to have a container that contains a single dose of a substance, preferably an alcoholic beverage, properly isolated and sealed with a blocking means that in turn allows release it for later mixing with a second random drink that is added at that time according to the consumer's taste for immediate consumption. The same problem occurs when taking certain medications, for example in powder form or effervescent tablets that must be mixed with water for ingestion.
El solicitante entiende que debería existir un tipo de recipiente que dé respuesta al problema técnico descrito y por ello propone la invención que se expone.

La invención que se presenta tiene por objeto un recipiente portador de una sustancia apta para su mezcla con un líquido que incorpora medios para contener una sustancia en estado líquido, pulverulento, sólido o pastoso y medios que liberan dicha sustancia de su ubicación inicial para su posterior mezclado con una segunda sustancia preferentemente en estado líquido. The object of the present invention is a container for carrying a substance suitable for mixing with a liquid that incorporates means for containing a substance in a liquid, powdery, solid or pasty state and means that release said substance from its initial location for later mixed with a second substance preferably in a liquid state.
Este recipiente está conformado a modo de receptáculo con una embocadura superior que alberga novedosamente en su parte inferior un disco con una trampilla que delimita una cavidad destinada a portar una sustancia primera bloqueada en su parte inferior por un módulo de liberación de tal sustancia que actúa a modo de émbolo, permitiendo que pueda mezclarse con al menos otra sustancia líquida, contando este émbolo con un elemento punzante apto para abrir la trampilla citada. This container is shaped like a receptacle with an upper mouth that, in a novel way, houses in its lower part a disk with a hatch that delimits a cavity destined to carry a first substance blocked in its lower part by a release module of such substance that acts to plunger mode, allowing it to be mixed with at least one other liquid substance, this plunger having a piercing element capable of opening the aforementioned hatch.
Para liberar dicha sustancia basta con retirar el precinto que inmoviliza el módulo de liberación móvil o émbolo, momento en el cual dicho émbolo se desplaza hacia arriba, incidiendo su punzón saliente en la trampilla del disco, abriéndola y permitiendo que la sustancia primera contendida en la cavidad citada se mezcle con una segunda sustancia, generalmente líquida, con la que reacciona y amalgama, formando una bebida combinada. El punzón saliente del émbolo, una vez abierta la trampilla, queda situado en la parte inferior del recipiente actuando en este momento como un medio para evitar la salpicadura del líquido.
Figure imgf000005_0001
To release said substance, it is enough to remove the seal that immobilizes the mobile release module or plunger, at which time said plunger moves upward, its protruding punch striking the disk hatch, opening it and allowing the first substance contained in the said cavity is mixed with a second substance, generally liquid, with which it reacts and amalgamates, forming a combined drink. The protruding punch of the plunger, once the hatch is open, is located in the lower part of the container, acting at this time as a means to prevent the liquid from splashing.

Descripción de una realización preferida Description of a preferred embodiment
En estas figuras se detalla de forma explícita un recipiente portador de una sustancia apta para su mezcla con un líquido que se reivindica en su realización preferente como vaso alto para combinados de bebidas. En las figuras 1 y 2 se muestras sendas vistas del recipiente conformado como un receptáculo (1) de gran simplicidad estructural, de conformación tubular con una embocadura (2) abierta en su parte superior, presentando en su tercio inferior un disco (11) que delimita una cavidad (12) destinada a alojar una sustancia primera preferentemente líquida la cual queda retenida por un módulo móvil de bloqueo y liberación (3) a modo de émbolo a su vez recubierto por un precinto (4). These figures explicitly detail a container that holds a substance suitable for mixing with a liquid that is claimed in its preferred embodiment as a tall glass for mixed drinks. Figures 1 and 2 show respective views of the container shaped as a receptacle (1) of great structural simplicity, tubular in shape with a mouth (2) open in its upper part, presenting in its lower third a disk (11) that it delimits a cavity (12) intended to house a preferably liquid first substance which is retained by a mobile locking and release module (3) as a plunger in turn covered by a seal (4).
En la figura 4 se muestra el detalle del disco (11) que delimita la cavidad (12) en la cual se aloja el líquido y que incorpora una trampilla (6) que se abre por el empuje y presión del punzón saliente (5) del émbolo (3) que constituye el módulo móvil de bloqueo y liberación de tal líquido, tal y como se muestra en las figuras 4 y 6. Este módulo o émbolo (3) queda recubierto por un precinto, que se muestra en la figura 5, y que garantiza la hermeticidad del vaso. Figure 4 shows the detail of the disk (11) that delimits the cavity (12) in which the liquid is housed and that incorporates a hatch (6) that is opened by the push and pressure of the protruding punch (5) of the plunger (3) that constitutes the mobile module for blocking and releasing such liquid, as shown in figures 4 and 6. This module or plunger (3) is covered by a seal, shown in figure 5, and that guarantees the hermeticity of the glass.
En las figuras 7 y 8 se muestran sendas vistas en planta superior e inferior del recipiente (1), siendo visibles el disco (11) con la trampilla (6) y el punzón saliente (5) del émbolo (3) (figura 7) y el orificio inferior (7) de entrada del líquido en la cavidad (12) que delimita el disco (11), mostrando igualmente el precinto (4) de seguridad (figura 8). Figures 7 and 8 show both upper and lower plan views of the container (1), the disk (11) with the hatch (6) and the protruding punch (5) of the plunger (3) being visible (figure 7) and the lower hole (7) for the entry of the liquid into the cavity (12) that delimits the disk (11), also showing the security seal (4) (figure 8).
En las figuras 9, 10 y 11 se muestra el recipiente (1) en tres fases de su uso. En la figura 9 el recipiente (1) está sellado, con el precinto (4) cubriendo el módulo móvil de bloqueo y liberación o émbolo (3) con el punzón saliente (5) inactivo, con el disco (11) delimitando la cavidad (12) que contiene la sustancia primera y la trampilla de salida (6) cerrada. En la figura 10, el precinto (4) se ha retirado, con lo que el módulo móvil de bloqueo y liberación o émbolo (3) queda destrabado, de forma que, de acuerdo con la figura 11 , se desplaza hacia arriba, empujando la sustancia primera alojada en la cavidad (12), que se comprime al desalojar tal sustancia, actuando a su vez el punzón saliente (5) del émbolo (3) por empuje y presión sobre la trampilla (6) del disco (11), que se abre y permite la salida de la ya mencionada sustancia, preparada para su mezcla con el líquido que pueda verterse en el recipiente (1) por su embocadura. Figures 9, 10 and 11 show the container (1) in three phases of its use. In figure 9 the container (1) is sealed, with the seal (4) covering the mobile locking and release module or plunger (3) with the projecting punch (5) inactive, with the disk (11) delimiting the cavity ( 12) containing the first substance and the exit hatch (6) closed. In figure 10, the seal (4) has been removed, whereby the mobile locking and release module or plunger (3) is unlocked, so that, according to figure 11, it moves upwards, pushing the First substance housed in the cavity (12), which is compressed by dislodging such substance, the protruding punch (5) of the plunger (3) acting in turn by pushing and pressing on the hatch (6) of the disk (11), which it opens and allows the exit of the aforementioned substance, ready to be mixed with the liquid that can be poured into the container (1) through its mouth.
En base a lo descrito, son obvias las ventajas del nuevo recipiente portador de una sustancia apta para su mezcla con un líquido que se reivindica. La solución técnica que se aporta es simple, conformando un producto con únicamente dos piezas a nivel de producción, una primera, el recipiente y su disco interior, y una segunda, el módulo de bloqueo y liberación o émbolo. La inyección de la sustancia primera se realiza por la parte inferior del recipiente antes de insertar el módulo de liberación o émbolo y el correspondiente precinto de seguridad. Based on what has been described, the advantages of the new container carrying a substance suitable for mixing with a claimed liquid are obvious. The technical solution provided is simple, forming a product with only two pieces at the production level, a first, the container and its inner disk, and a second, the locking and release module or plunger. The injection of the first substance is carried out by the bottom of the container before inserting the release module or plunger and the corresponding security seal.
Obviamente la conformación del recipiente es variable pero siempre debe presentar una embocadura, siendo la más natural la forma de un vaso tubular cuando se aplica a su principal uso para degustar bebidas en las que participan más de un líquido, siendo evidente que al tener una dosis de una de las bebidas ya encapsulada, implica un control de la cantidad y una garantía de la calidad de la bebida alcohólica a consumir puesto que la dosis de la misma está sellada e higiénicamente revisada. Obviously the shape of the container is variable but it must always have an opening, the most natural being the shape of a tubular glass when applied to its main use to taste beverages in which more than one liquid participates, being evident that having a dose of one of the already encapsulated beverages, implies a control of the quantity and a guarantee of the quality of the alcoholic beverage to be consumed since the dose of it is sealed and hygienically reviewed.
Sin embargo, en su conformación como un objeto desechable de un solo uso permite su aplicación en otros ámbitos en los que deban mezclarse al menos dos sustancias, una primera, la contenida en el módulo interior del recipiente debidamente sellado y una segunda, probamente líquida y más en concreto agua. En este sentido, sería de aplicación en un ámbito sanitario, en el cual la primera sustancia puede ser, por ejemplo, una dosis de médicamente líquido, pulverulento, sólido o pastoso que al mezclase con agua, reaccione para ser la formulación médica perceptiva. En esta realización, el recipiente presenta en su embocadura una tapa laminar de fácil extracción para asegurar la hermeticidad del vaso y una segunda tapa acoplada a presión que puede presentar un medio punzante en su cara interior apto para hincarse en la tapa laminar y perforarla, permitiendo la salida del aire contenido en el vaso y, en consecuencia, permitiendo activar el módulo de liberación de la sustancia primera. However, in its conformation as a single-use disposable object, it allows its application in other areas in which at least two substances must be mixed, a first, that contained in the interior module of the properly sealed container and a second, probably liquid and more specifically water. In this sense, it would be applicable in a healthcare setting, in which the first substance can be, for example, a dose of medically liquid, powdery, solid or pasty that, when mixed with water, reacts to be the perceptual medical formulation. In this embodiment, the container has at its mouth an easily removable laminar lid to ensure the hermeticity of the vessel and a second pressure-coupled lid that can have a piercing medium on its inner face capable of being driven into the laminar lid and piercing it, allowing the exit of the air contained in the vessel and, consequently, allowing the activation of the release module of the first substance.
