- the number of piercing tabs (8) of the punch element (2) can be between 2 to 4 piercing tabs, between 3 to 5 piercing tabs and between 4 to 6 piercing tabs respectively.
- the piercing tabs (8) have a geometry such that they end in a point, for example, an inverted cone.
- the piercing tabs (8) can have any geometry such that one of its ends has a smaller perimeter or diameter with respect to its first end, preferably, said end is located proximal to the first end (3a) of the lower cover (3). .
- the punch element (2) and the piercing tabs (8) are made of a plastic material selected from the group comprising thermoplastic elastomers, thermostable polyurethane, polyethylenes and combinations of the above. Additionally, they can also be made of a metallic material.
- the punch element (2) and the piercing tabs (8) are of the same material as the outer cover (1) and the lower cover (3).
- the punch element (2) on its outer surface has a male thread and the through hole of the lower cover (3) has a second female thread.
- This configuration allows the punch element (2) to enter the through hole of the lower cover (3) in such a way that it slides rotatably when a user applies an external force, said external force allows the punch element ( 2) slide over the through hole like a screw. Consequently,
- the punch element (2) at one of its ends comprises a protuberance (11).
- said protuberance (11) is located proximal to the outer cover.
- the protuberance (11) together with the punch element (2) are a single piece constructed of the same material, furthermore said protuberance (11) is collinear to the punch element (2) and to the through perforation of the lower cover (3).
- the protuberance (11) of the punch element (2) is arranged on the first end (3a) of the lower cover (3).
- the diameter of the protuberance (11) is larger than the punch element (2) and larger than the through perforation of the lower cover (3), that is, the protuberance (11) rests or is supported on the first end ( 3a) of the lower cover (3).
- the protuberance (11) has a guide element (13) arranged on its perimeter and distal to the through perforation of the lower cover (3).
- the protuberance has a guide element (13) arranged on its perimeter and distal to the through perforation of the lower cover (3).
- the storage and dosing system for soluble and/or dispersed ingredients has two operating states, an initial state before use and a final state for use.
- the outer cover (1) and the lower cover (3) are operationally connected by their edges, thus allowing the punch element (2) to be housed inside the outer cover (1) without Pierce the first sealing element (4) and the second sealing element (5) of the lower cover (3) using the perforating tabs (8).
- this initial state allows the hermetic seal of the storage and dosing system of the invention.
- this initial state of the storage and dosing system allows it to be attached to a bottle (7), which has a male thread that is operationally connected to the female thread (9) of the lower cap (3).
- a system for dosing and storing soluble ingredients and/or disperses connected to a bottle (7) for use can be any bottle of the state of the art that allows it to be screwed into the second end (3b) of the lower cap (3), with the purpose of having a single product for the user. .
- a user In the final state mode and with reference to FIGS. 4B and 4C., a user must remove the outer cover (1) of the storage system in order to discover that the punch element (2) is in a collinear position with the through perforation of the lower cover (3). The user, using a finger, must press said punch element (2) towards the inside of the lower cover (3).
- the punch element (2) can rotate on its own axis, which is collinear with the through hole of the lower cover (3), once the user rotates and pushes the punch element downwards. (2) by means of the guide element (13). That is, the guide element (13) allows the user to have greater ease of rotation on the punch element (2) and in turn allows the user to have greater reliability when piercing the sealing elements (4, 5 and 8). .
- the piercing tabs (8) pierce the first sealing element (4) and the second sealing element (5).
- the piercing tabs (8) pierce a third sealing element located proximal to the male thread of the bottle (7).
- the soluble and/or dispersible ingredients (6) housed in the space between the first and second sealing elements (4, 5) proceed to move towards the liquid. content in the bottle (7) to then be mixed manually by a user.
- the protuberance (11) of the punch element (2) fits to the first end (3a) of the lower cover (3) in order to maintain airtightness between the soluble and/or dispersible ingredients (6 ) and the liquid contained in the bottle (7) once the sealing elements have been punctured. Particularly, tightness is generated between the punch element (2), the lower cap (3) and the bottle (7).
- the user can consume the mixed product by removing the storage and dosing system for soluble and/or dispersible ingredients from the bottle (7) and consume the mixed product directly, taking into account that he must remove residues from the sealing elements contained in the system and the bottle.
