Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a protective device for containers, specifically for beverage cans.
- The object of the invention is to provide a protective device which, adhered to the upper base of the can, provides sensibly better hygiene conditions, having a positive effect on the health of the user.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a single-piece protective device to simplify the manufacturing thereof, sensibly reducing the costs associated with the same and likewise simplifying the implantation process of the device on the mouth of the can.
- Another object of the invention is for the device to provide an airtight and hygienic closing of the upper part of the can, which prevents dirt or any other kind of external liquid to remain between the lid and upper base of the can prior to the opening of the protective device, which, once opened, provides an airtight closing that prevents the outflow of the liquid contained in the can or the loss of gas.
- Protective elements are currently known, which are intended to be mounted on containers, cans in particular, with the purpose of providing better hygienic conditions in the area where the opening to access the inner contents is provided.

PCT/ES 2010/070592 - Even though this device fulfills the function for which it was provided, it presents extensive problems focusing on the following aspects:
- The device is obtained from two pieces, a hoop that embraces the can and a lid attached to the hoop. Both pieces are attached by means of a hinge. This configuration presents problems related to its difficult and expensive industrial application, given that they are two independent pieces that can also be easily decoupled at any time.
- The closings are provided open, such that, in a can filling chain, first it is necessary to press fit the hoop to the mouth of the can, and once it is in place close the lid fastening it to the hoop through the hinge piece and a tab provided for said purpose, which entails a long and arduous process having very negative effects on the production process.
- The configuration of the closing device makes it non-airtight with respect to the pressure of the gas of the liquid contained in the can, once the can is opened, for failing to withstand the pressure of the gas of the liquid.
- The opening means are complicated, given that the user needs to introduce his or her nails under a tab protruding from the lid itself and having an arching shape matching the shape of the container.
- The protective device for containers proposed by the invention solves the problems exposed above in a fully satisfactory manner in each and every one of the aspects commented on, based on an extremely effective new configuration.
- To achieve the foregoing, it has been provided that the device will materialize in a single-piece and tubular body that is closed from above and has a short, round base according to the mouth of the can adjusted to the upper part of the container or can, in which perimeter wall a likewise perimeter thickening is interiorly defined, parallel to which a likewise perimeter partition is established, that define a kind of channel for the coupling under pressure of the embossed edge of the can. The outer wall has a perimeter cut that, for the most part, runs along the outer wall making a crenellated contour, i.e. an alternatively ascending and descending stepped contour, which extends along the entire length of said wall, except for a section wherein a link and small seals or attaching elements between both sectors that act as frangible elements upon the opening of the device are defined.
- This way, the perimeter and stepped cut determines two sectors related to each other through the aforementioned link and frangible attaching elements, which determine a kind of ring affixed to the mouth of the can and an upper lid, which although is initially attached to said ring it can be taken down through the aforementioned link.
- The special ascending and descending stepped configuration of the cutting line separating the lid from the ring runs transversally across the perimeter flange of the device affixed to the embossed edge of the lid, which means than in some sectors, the lid is the one affixed to the mouth of the can, while in others it is the ring itself which carries out said function, thereby simplifying the closing means for the lid once open, given that it is once again directly coupled to the mouth of the can without having to establish any kind of means to affix said lid to the lower ring.
- Consequently, the device is supplied closed, its press fit mounting being extremely simple, such that in the affixing maneuvers, both the lid and the element having the functions of an affixing ring are affixed to the mouth or perimeter flange of the upper base of the can as commented above.
- The special configuration of the device which lid incorporates, in correspondence with its lower base, a ridge in the form of a perimeter partition, makes the lid press against the edge of the can laterally, plugging the same and preventing the outflow of liquids, thereby providing a fully airtight closing.
- The upper element of the device comprises an indented circumferential section that facilitates the stacking of cans one on top of the other taking advantage of the configuration of this type of containers in the base thereof.
- Finally, and in terms of the means to open the lid by breaking the frangible security seals initially arranged, it has been if a kind of flap that facilitates the opening and breakage of the seals without having to use the nails will emerge from the edge of the lid.
- In terms of the materials used, the device can be obtained in any kind of injectable plastic. Preferably, it will be a moldable and biodegradable material, such as, for example, polypropylene. The possibility that the materials are susceptible of being colored is also considered.
- Therefore, we obtain an extremely simple device that is efficient, economical and easy to install in the mounting chain, thereby allowing a significant reduction in production costs.
- In order to supplement the description to be made below, and with the purpose of facilitating a better comprehension of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred exemplary practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings representing the following in an illustrative rather than limitative manner has been attached as an integral part of said description:

Figure 11 .- finally shows an elevational view of the device at the level of the link thereof. - As shown in the figures referred to above, the protective device for containers being proposed is materialized in a tubular body closed from above (1), with a short, round base according to the mouth of the can (2) adjusted to the upper part of the container, in which perimeter wall (3) a likewise perimeter thickening (4) is interiorly defined, parallel to which a perimeter partition (5) is established, defining a kind of channel for the press fitting of the embossed edge of the can.
- On the other hand, and as shown in
figures 1 and 2 , the outer and perimeter wall (3) has a longitudinal and perimeter cut (7) that for the most part runs along the same, having an alternatively ascending and descending stepped contour, i.e. crenellated, and which extends along the length of said wall, except for a section wherein a link (8) and small seals or attaching elements that can be torn (9), conveniently distributed along the perimeter cut (7), are defined, which will easily break when the device is used for the first time. - As shown in the sections of
figures 7 and 8 , the crenellated perimeter cut (7) determines two sectors, related to each other through the aforementioned link (8) and attaching elements that can be torn (9), which determine an annular sector (10) affixed to the mouth of the can and a sector having the functions of an upper lid (11). Although, said sector is initially attached to said ring it can be taken down relative to the same, through the aforementioned link (8), for which it has been provided that said upper lid (11) will have a flap (12) for the pulling and opening thereof without having to use the nails, even though the entire set is integrated as a single-piece. - In terms of the special configuration of the link (8) defined in the single-piece body object of the invention, the same is constituted from two stepped trapezoid and isosceles recesses (16) facing each other by their smaller bases and made on the perimeter wall of the device, conveniently distanced and related through a weakening line (17) from which both sectors are folded and which line extends from one smaller base to the other of the trapezoid sectors, having, in correspondence with said larger and smaller bases, respective vertical through-slots (18) determining two elastically deformable partitions (19) that collaborate with the weakening line (17) to constitute the opening means of the lid, all of which as shown in
figure 11 . - On the other hand, the sector having the functions of an upper lid (11) has a series of reinforcement ribs (14) arranged radially on its lower face.
- Likewise, a circumferential recess (15) has been provided on the upper face of said sector, which facilitates the stacking of containers provided with the protective device of the invention. This same ridge, seen from the interior, constitutes a section in the shape of a circular crown (13).
- Finally, it should be noted that the sector defining the lid incorporates, in correspondence with its lower base, a ridge in the form of a perimeter partition (5), which makes the lid press against the edge of the can laterally, plugging the same and preventing the outflow of liquids, thereby providing a fully airtight closing with respect to the pressure of the gas of the liquid product inside of the can.
