Definitions

  • the purpose of this invention is a container for preparing drinks that comprises a laminar material for in-mould labelling and means for the perfect sealing of the product contained in it before its consumption.
  • This invention lies within the technical field of containers for preparing drinks such as capsules that are inserted into machines such as coffeemakers or similar and that are formed of a main body with a containment cavity for the preparation for the drink, this cavity being open to the exterior at the opposite ends of the main body with a membrane closing the cavity at one end and an aluminium sheet at the other, the body of this capsule being covered with a laminar material for in-mould labelled containers and with the particularity that all the elements that form the container contribute synergistically in the perfect sealing of the capsule or container such that the product contained does not lose its organoleptic properties before its consumption.
  • capsule type containers for preparing drinks are well known, these being especially popular in recent years due to the ease and speed they provide and because a product is obtained the dosage of which is completely defined and, therefore, there is a lower probability of error in its preparation.
  • These capsules that are used to contain the preparation for the drink may be of various types and made of various materials, notable among which are plastics and aluminium.
  • capsules made with plastics have the problem that plastics do not protect the internal contents from external agents so that the product deteriorates and does not retain its initial properties of quality.
  • aluminium capsules In the case of aluminium capsules, the problem of protecting the product housed in the capsules is solved since aluminium is a material that isolates it from the exterior, maintaining its organoleptic properties intact. However, it also has a disadvantage: because aluminium is very aggressive with the environment and generates a very harmful impact that must be corrected. In addition, its cost is very high and aluminium deforms very easily which finally makes its transport difficult.
  • document ES 2 531 729 B1 describes a laminar material for the in-mould labelling of containers that comprises a first layer of pre-printed label for fusion with the container formed of a white or transparent plastic material, a second layer of aluminium, a third protection layer printed in its inner face, this layer being formed of a material for thermo-lamination and some means of joining the layers.
  • this invention improves its sealing, meaning an entry of oxygen into the container equal to or less than 0.002 cm 3 per container per day.
  • the purpose of this invention is an in-mould labelled container for preparing drinks, that is, a capsule type container that is inserted in machines such as coffeemakers or similar and that is crowned by a main body of plastic material with an essentially tapering and tubular structure and open at an upper end and a second lower end, these ends being opposite to each other and closed, respectively, by a first upper membrane and a second aluminium sheet sealed in the second lower end and this container comprising a laminar in-mould labelled material that comprises several layers where at least one of them is made of aluminium; and where this laminar material is located on the main body between the first and the second end with its upper and lower sides in contact, respectively, with the first upper membrane and the second lower aluminium sheet and where this laminar material is fixed on the outer surface of the main body by means of fixing formed in the process of in-mould labelling.
  • the container thus described also has the feature of comprising some perimeter means of sealing on both ends of the body of the container such that the external supply of oxygen into the
  • these means of sealing comprise three radii on the second lower end that meet in the centre of the container in a central point and that also comprise a recess configured to stabilise the container overall.
  • in its first end it comprises: (a) a first skirt configured as a stop inside a machine in the position for use; (b) a first centring device and a second centring device where the second centring device is longer and narrower than the first centring device; and (c) a point ending in a sharp edge because it is this that is configured for closing the capsule hermetically against the head of the machine for preparing drinks and that also comprises a thickness that is important so that the sealing is such that the skirt does not cede its position.
  • the container comprises several internal tabs distributed around the perimeter and uniformly in the internal area of the main body in its lower region.
  • the container comprises two internal protuberances in the inner face of the main body.
  • the laminar material for the in-mould labelling comprises a first layer of pre-printed label for fusion with the container formed by a white or transparent plastic material, a second layer of aluminium, a third protection layer formed of a material for thermo-lamination that is printed on its inner face and some means of joining between layers.
  • the aluminium layer acts as a barrier to external light and damp as well as to oxygen. However, it does not carry out this action solely and completely but must do so jointly, i.e., synergistically, with the sealing means.
  • the third protection layer which is formed of polypropylene for thermo-lamination which provides greater labelling colour stability and greater durability.
  • the process for manufacturing the container that forms the subject of this invention comprises the following stages:
  • this invention provides an in-mould labelled container that has the advantages of the capsules made of plastics and of the capsules made of aluminium, solving the specific disadvantages of each type of material and also adding sealing conditions much greater than those of the capsules described in the state of the art.
  • the capsule is made of plastics that are much more economical than aluminium, and this makes the capsules much less aggressive with the environment and therefore a lower economic cost than it, since during its lamination process aluminium already generates a much greater impact on the environment.
  • this material makes the surface of the capsule much more resistant to deformation than aluminium and this gives the capsules a better appearance and presence than those of aluminium.
  • capsules made with plastics thanks to the covering formed of a laminar material such as that defined, formed of layers, each with a determined function, one of them being aluminium, the contents of the capsule are protected and isolated from the exterior, thus keeping intact the properties of the preparation for drinks.
  • the capsule since the capsule has a membrane at the first end that contains aluminium and a fine sheet of aluminium in the second end, all the surface of the capsule is protecting its interior contents together with the sealing means at both ends. This second sheet of aluminium on the second end in turn favours the process of piercing it for the passing of water which, in turn, allows the complete preparation of the drink.
  • the in-mould labelled container 100 for the preparation of drinks is a capsule of the type for insertion into machines such as coffeemakers or similar and that are formed of a main body 101 with a tapering and tubular structure, suitable for housing and containing inside it the preparation for the drink, the main body 101 being open to the exterior at a first end 102 and a second end 103 of the main body 101, both ends being opposite each other, a closing membrane 104 at the first end 102 and a sealing aluminium sheet 105 on the second end 103.
  • the hermetic seal is arranged on the perimeter with respect to both upper 102 and lower 103 ends as can best be seen in FIG. 2 .
  • a perimeter recess 20 can be seen in that lower end 103, such that the aluminium sheet 105 is sealed on that recess 20.
  • the lower part of the capsule or container 100 comprises three radii 22 that meet in a central point (21).
  • the function of the central point (21) is to be able to inject the piece and to lower the plastic efficiently during the manufacturing process. In addition, it guarantees regularity in the efficient distribution of the water during the use of the capsule or container 100.
  • the recess 20 helps prevent the needle from the machine from touching anything and stabilises the container 100 overall, since, if not used, the container might not remain perfectly circular. If it were not perfectly circular, there would be maladjustments in the machine during its use. For this reason, the function of the recess 20 is to gain a distance that facilitates the entry of the capsule or container 100 in the machine, passing just by the edge of the machine, adjusted in length and angle.
  • the lower part of the container 100 comprises several internal tabs 23 distributed on the perimeter and uniformly in the internal area of the main body 101 in its lower region.
  • These internal tabs 23 perform various functions within the assembly: on the one hand, they allow the containers 100 to be stacked during transport without deformation (see FIG. 3 ); secondly, they facilitate the better distribution of the water in the container 100 during use; and thirdly, they are a structural reinforcement of the container 100 assembly.
  • the perimeter hermetic seal consists of:
  • the capsule or container 100 comprises two protuberances (14, 15) internally that are necessary so that, during the release of the container 100 from the mould, it can be extracted from the mould itself. They are marks that guarantee that the container 100 stays with the moving part of the mould and does not remain in the fixed part, which could cause its deformation. During the use of the capsule or container 100 they give it greater strength and stability.
  • the laminar material for in-mould labelling is located in the area of the main body 101 between its first end 102 and second end 103.
  • the mode of fixing it to the outer surface of the main body 101 is with some means of fixing formed by a process of in-mould labelling.
  • This process consists of placing the laminar material, that comprises a pre-printed labelling layer formed by a pre-printed polypropylene label, in a mould with the form of the capsule; the molten polypropylene is then added to the mould to form the container or capsule 100 and during the curing process this fuses with the covering and protecting laminar material that adopts the shape of the capsule 100 and both fuse together to form the same unit.
  • the laminar material comprises: a layer of aluminium, a pre-printed labelling layer and a third layer formed by a material for thermo-lamination.
  • the entire capsule 100 is isolated from the exterior, providing the perfect conservation of the product inside it.
