Description
Cierre para un recipiente del tipo que presenta una boca de suministro sellada inicialmente de forma hermética por una lámina rasgable.Closure for a container of the type presented a supply opening initially sealed tightly by a tear sheet.
El campo de la invención es el de los cierres para recipientes de productos envasados que deben conservarse herméticamente hasta la apertura por el consumidor final, como por ejemplo los productos alimenticios sensibles a la humedad ambiental.The field of the invention is that of closures for containers of packaged products that must be kept tightly until the opening by the final consumer, as per example moisture sensitive food products environmental.
Concretamente, la invención se refiere a un cierre para un recipiente del tipo que presenta una boca de suministro sellada inicialmente de forma hermética por una lámina rasgable, comprendiendo dicho cierre un cuerpo principal que se acopla a la boca del recipiente y un cuerpo pivotante unido a dicho cuerpo principal y destinado a ser accionado por un usuario para rasgar dicha lámina rasgable.Specifically, the invention relates to a closure for a container of the type that has a mouth of supply initially sealed tightly by a foil tear, said closure comprising a main body which attaches to the mouth of the container and a pivoting body attached to said main body and intended to be operated by a user to tear said tear sheet.
Existen numerosos cierres para recipientes, como botellas, frascos o similares, del tipo que comprende una lámina rasgable que sella herméticamente la boca del recipiente, y que incorporan soluciones para facilitar la operación de rasgado de dicha lámina. Las soluciones más simples consisten en una lengüeta solidarizada a la lámina para ser estirada por el usuario. Este tipo de cierre no es de fácil manejo y normalmente no proporciona una apertura limpia. Los cierres del tipo indicado al principio, que incorporan un cuerpo pivotante destinado a ser accionado por un usuario para rasgar la lámina, son una solución más sofisticada que proporciona una apertura más eficaz. Típicamente, están formados por un mecanismo de apertura, normalmente de plástico, yuxtapuesto a la lámina rasgable y formado por una palanca que pivota centralmente alrededor de un eje. El usuario levanta la palanca por un extremo, provocando el hundimiento del otro extremo en la lámina. Estos cierres tienen el inconveniente de que el extremo de la palanca queda levantado, convirtiéndose en un elemento saliente que es molesto para el manejo posterior de la botella. Otro inconveniente de este tipo de cierre es que el mecanismo de apertura está yuxtapuesto a la lámina, que es un elemento frágil, lo cual complica la fabricación. Otro problema que se observa al utilizar estos mecanismos de apertura es que el usuario debe ejercer una fuerza bastante elevada para iniciar el rasgado de la lámina, tras lo cual la resistencia decrece bruscamente y la palanca se embala, pudiendo comprometer el sostenimiento del recipiente por parte del usuario y en ocasiones incluso provocar la rotura del mecanismo de apertura. Finalmente, al estar el mecanismo de apertura yuxtapuesto a la lámina, el dedo del usuario puede recibir salpicaduras del producto contenido en el envase, especialmente cuando el envase contiene un producto líquido.There are numerous closures for containers, such as bottles, jars or the like, of the type comprising a foil tear that tightly seals the mouth of the container, and that incorporate solutions to facilitate the tearing operation of said sheet. The simplest solutions consist of a tongue solidarity with the sheet to be stretched by the user. This type of closure is not easy to handle and usually does not provide A clean opening. Closures of the type indicated at the beginning, which incorporate a pivoting body intended to be operated by a user to tear the sheet, they are a more sophisticated solution than It provides a more effective opening. Typically, they are formed by an opening mechanism, usually plastic, juxtaposed to the tear-off blade and formed by a pivoting lever centrally around an axis. The user lifts the lever by one end, causing the other end to sink into the sheet. These closures have the disadvantage that the end of the lever is raised, becoming a protruding element that It is annoying for the subsequent handling of the bottle. Other disadvantage of this type of closure is that the mechanism of opening is juxtaposed to the sheet, which is a fragile element, what which complicates manufacturing. Another problem that is observed at use these opening mechanisms is that the user must exert a force quite high to start tearing the lamina, after which the resistance decreases sharply and the lever is packed, being able to compromise the support of the container by the user and sometimes even cause the breakage of the opening mechanism. Finally, being the mechanism opening juxtaposed to the sheet, the user's finger can receive splashes of the product contained in the container, especially when the container contains a liquid product.
La invención tiene como finalidad proporcionar un cierre que permita realizar el rasgado de la lámina con menos esfuerzo y de forma más limpia que en los cierres conocidos, con una configuración que no entorpezca el uso del recipiente y que no encarezca significativamente la fabricación.The invention aims to provide a closure that allows to tear the sheet with less effort and cleaner than in known closures, with a configuration that does not hinder the use of the container and that does not significantly increase manufacturing.
Esta finalidad se consigue mediante un cierre del tipo indicado al principio, caracterizado porque:This purpose is achieved by closing of the type indicated at the beginning, characterized in that:
- --
- el cuerpo pivotante es de una sola pieza y comprende una cara superior, en la cual está definida una superficie de empuje, y una pala rasgadora que forma un ángulo con dicha cara superior;he pivoting body is one piece and comprises an upper face, in which a thrust surface is defined, and a shovel tearing machine that forms an angle with said upper face;
- --
- dicho cuerpo pivotante está unido al cuerpo principal por una unión de bisagra y está dispuesto, en una posición inicial levantada, por encima de dicha lámina rasgable;saying pivoting body is attached to the main body by a union of hinge and is arranged, in a raised initial position, by above said tear sheet;
- --
- el cuerpo principal está provisto de unos medios de tope que interactúan con dicho cuerpo pivotante;he main body is provided with stop means which they interact with said pivoting body;
de manera que dicho cuerpo pivotante es apto para pivotar desde dicha posición inicial levantada hasta una posición abatida en la que viene a tope contra dichos medios de tope, quedando dicha cara superior por encima de la lámina rasgable, y en la que dicha pala rasgadora atraviesa dicha lámina rasgable formando en ésta una abertura.so that said pivoting body is suitable to pivot from said initial raised position to a dejected position in which it comes to a halt against said means of stop, said upper face being above the tear-off sheet, and wherein said tearing blade passes through said tear-off blade forming in it an opening.
La invención se refiere tanto al caso en que el cierre lleva inicialmente la lámina rasgable, que después se aplica herméticamente en la boca de suministro del recipiente durante el procedimiento de montaje del cierre en el recipiente, como el caso en que la lámina rasgable se encuentra montada inicialmente en la boca de suministro del recipiente antes del montaje del cierre. En ambos casos, la boca de suministro del recipiente está sellada inicialmente de forma hermética por la lámina rasgable, en el sentido de que está sellada herméticamente por la lámina rasgable antes de la apertura por el consumidor final.The invention relates both to the case in which the closure initially carries the tear-off sheet, which is then applied tightly in the supply mouth of the container during assembly procedure of the closure in the container, as the case in which the tear-off sheet is initially mounted on the container supply mouth before closure assembly. In both cases, the supply mouth of the container is sealed initially hermetically by the tear-off sheet, in the sense that it is hermetically sealed by the tear-off sheet before opening by the final consumer.
Este cierre según la invención presenta la particularidad de que el cuerpo pivotante está dispuesto por encima de la lámina rasgable y se acciona empujando con un dedo sobre la superficie de empuje, de modo que el movimiento del cuerpo pivotante se inicia antes de que la pala rasgadora entre en contacto con la lámina y finaliza en una posición abatida predeterminada por los medios de tope y en la cual la cara superior del cuerpo pivotante se mantiene por encima de la lámina. El movimiento de la pala rasgadora se inicia pues a cierta distancia de la lámina, con lo cual la pala rasgadora alcanza la lámina con cierta velocidad y trasmite la inercia del dedo que empuja el cuerpo pivotante. Gracias a ello, se alcanza rápidamente la tensión puntual necesaria para iniciar el rasgado de la lámina, tras lo cual el movimiento de la pala rasgadora continúa hasta la posición final definida por los medios de tope. Por otra parte, gracias a que en la posición final definida por los medios de tope se mantiene la cara superior del cuerpo pivotante por encima de la lámina, el dedo del usuario queda alejado de la lámina. Asimismo, el cierre según la invención es más cómodo de manejar, ya que funciona como un pulsador y permite un diseño sin partes salientes después de la apertura.This closure according to the invention presents the particularity that the pivoting body is arranged above of the tear-off sheet and is actuated by pushing with a finger on the push surface, so that body movement pivoting starts before the tearing blade comes into contact with the blade and ends in a collapsed position predetermined by the stop means and in which the upper face of the body Pivoting remains above the blade. The movement of the Tearing blade starts then at a certain distance from the blade, with which the tearing blade reaches the blade with some speed and transmits the inertia of the finger that pushes the pivoting body. Thanks to this, the necessary point voltage is quickly reached to start the tearing of the sheet, after which the movement of the tearing blade continues to the final position defined by the stop means. On the other hand, thanks to the fact that in the final position defined by the stop means the upper face of the pivoting body above the blade, the user's finger is away from the blade. Also, the closure according to the invention is more convenient to operate, as it works as a push button and allows a Design without protruding parts after opening.
Preferentemente, el cuerpo pivotante está provisto de unos medios de retención que se traban con unos medios de retención correspondientes, provistos en el cuerpo principal, cuando el cuerpo pivotante está en la posición abatida, de modo que el cuerpo pivotante queda inmovilizado de forma irreversible en dicha posición abatida. Se asegura así que la boca de suministro quede abierta y presente definitivamente la forma de abertura prevista en el diseño.Preferably, the pivoting body is provided with retention means that are locked with means corresponding retention, provided in the main body, when the pivoting body is in the collapsed position, so that the pivoting body is irreversibly immobilized in said dejected position. It ensures that the supply mouth the opening form is open and definitely present provided in the design.
Preferentemente, en la posición inicial levantada, el cuerpo pivotante está inmovilizado por medio de unos enlaces rompibles que unen dicho cuerpo pivotante a dicho cuerpo principal. Se impide así que el cuerpo pivotante se mueva antes de que el usuario haya realizado la apertura, evitando que se rasgue la lámina antes de tiempo si el recipiente recibe algún golpe. Por otra parte, para iniciar el movimiento del cuerpo pivotante, el usuario debe aplicar con el dedo una fuerza superior al umbral necesario para romper dichos enlaces. El movimiento del cuerpo pivotante se inicia pues bruscamente, tras la rotura de los enlaces, y como resultado de ello la pala rasgadora alcanza la lámina con mayor inercia y el rasgado se inicia sin dificultad.Preferably, in the initial position raised, the pivoting body is immobilized by means of breakable links linking said pivoting body to said body principal. This prevents the pivoting body from moving before that the user has made the opening, preventing the tearing of the Blade ahead of time if the recipient receives a blow. By another part, to initiate the movement of the pivoting body, the user must apply with a finger a force greater than the threshold necessary to break those links. Body movement pivoting starts abruptly, after breaking the links, and as a result the tearing blade reaches the blade with Greater inertia and tearing starts without difficulty.
Preferentemente, el cuerpo principal comprende un tabique que se extiende por encima de dicha lámina rasgable, dicho tabique presentando una ventana que es atravesada por dicho cuerpo pivotante al pivotar entre la posición inicial levantada y la posición abatida. En una realización ventajosa, el cuerpo pivotante encaja en dicha ventana cubriéndola al menos parcialmente, y en la posición abatida de dicho cuerpo pivotante la pala rasgadora queda introducida en dicha ventana y define junto con ésta un área de paso sobre la abertura formada en la lámina rasgable. Se forma así una vía de salida bien definida y predeterminada en el diseño del cierre, al tiempo que el dedo del usuario queda protegido por encima del tabique.Preferably, the main body comprises a partition that extends above said tear-off sheet, said partition presenting a window that is crossed by said pivoting body when pivoting between the initial position raised and The dejected position. In an advantageous embodiment, the body pivoting fits in said window covering it at least partially, and in the collapsed position of said pivoting body the Tearing blade is inserted in said window and defines together with it an area of passage over the opening formed in the sheet scratchable A well-defined exit path is thus formed and default in the design of the closure, while the finger of the User is protected above the partition.
Preferentemente, la unión de bisagra está dispuesta en un canto de dicha ventana, y en la posición abatida del cuerpo pivotante su cara superior queda alineada con dicho tabique, de modo que a novel del cuerpo pivotante se obtiene una configuración final que presenta una continuidad de superficie.Preferably, the hinge joint is arranged in a corner of said window, and in the dejected position of the pivoting body its upper face is aligned with said partition, so that a novel of the pivoting body is obtained a final configuration that presents a surface continuity.
En una realización ventajosa, los medios de retención provistos en el cuerpo pivotante están formados por una pestañas que sobresalen lateralmente de unas zonas rebajadas de los cantos laterales del cuerpo pivotante, y dichos medios de retención correspondientes previstos en el cuerpo principal consisten en unos salientes que sobresalen de los cantos laterales de dicha ventana.In an advantageous embodiment, the means of retention provided in the pivoting body are formed by a tabs protruding laterally from recessed areas of the lateral edges of the pivoting body, and said retaining means corresponding planned in the main body consist of about protrusions protruding from the side edges of said window.
Preferentemente, la pala rasgadora del cuerpo pivotante presenta en su extremo, por el que rasga dicha lámina rasgable, una forma dentada. La pala rasgadora entra en contacto con la lámina rasgable por las puntas de sus dientes, facilitando aún más el inicio del rasgado.Preferably, the body tearing blade pivot has at its end, which tears said sheet scratchable, a jagged shape. The tearing blade comes into contact with the blade torn by the tips of your teeth, facilitating even more the start of tearing.
En una realización preferente, el cuerpo pivotante presenta la forma de un diedro formado por la cara superior y la pala rasgadora, y comprende unas paredes paralelas que se extienden internamente y perpendicularmente a dicho diedro. Gracias a esta configuración, la pala rasgadora es ligera y robusta. Por otra parte, en el caso en que el cuerpo principal presenta un tabique con una ventana en la que encaja el cuerpo abatible, las paredes paralelas cierran lateralmente el espacio por encima de la ventana.In a preferred embodiment, the body pivoting has the shape of a dihedral formed by the face upper and the tearing blade, and comprises parallel walls which extend internally and perpendicularly to said dihedral. Thanks to this configuration, the tearing blade is light and robust. On the other hand, in the case where the main body has a partition with a window in which the folding body fits, the parallel walls laterally close the space above the window.
Preferentemente, los medios de tope provistos en el cuerpo principal son unas cuñas de asiento en las que vienen a apoyarse los cantos inferiores de dichas paredes paralelas del cuerpo pivotante. Se obtiene así una posición de asiento del cuerpo pivotante particularmente robusta.Preferably, the stop means provided in the main body are some seat wedges in which they come to support the lower edges of said parallel walls of the pivoting body A body seat position is thus obtained Pivoting particularly robust.
Preferentemente, el cuerpo principal y el cuerpo pivotante están moldeados de una sola pieza en un material termoplástico. Los dos cuerpos están unidos por la unión de se bisagra, que en este caso está constituida por un puente de poco espesor, y también, opcionalmente, por los enlaces rompibles.Preferably, the main body and the body pivot are molded in one piece in a material thermoplastic The two bodies are united by the union of se hinge, which in this case is made up of a little bridge thickness, and also, optionally, by breakable links.

El cierre que se muestra en las Figs. 1 a 18 a título de ejemplo no limitativo va montado en una botella de plástico para productos alimenticios. El cierre comprende un cuerpo principal 2, que en este ejemplo se enrosca en el gollete 17 de la botella, y un cuerpo pivotante 3. Los dos cuerpos 2 y 3 están formados en una sola pieza de material termoplástico y están unidos por una línea de unión de poco grosor que constituye una unión de bisagra 7. La separación de los dos cuerpos 2 y 3 ilustrada en la Fig. 11, así como las vistas de la Fig. 12 y de las Figs 13 a 16 en las que se ha extraído el cuerpo pivotante 3, son ficticias; se han realizado con el único objetivo de facilitar la descripción de ambos cuerpos.The closure shown in Figs. 1 to 18 a non-limiting example title is mounted on a bottle of plastic for food products. The closure comprises a body main 2, which in this example is screwed on the neck 17 of the bottle, and a pivoting body 3. The two bodies 2 and 3 are formed in a single piece of thermoplastic material and are attached by a thin junction line that constitutes a junction of hinge 7. The separation of the two bodies 2 and 3 illustrated in the Fig. 11, as well as the views of Fig. 12 and Figs 13 to 16 in those that have been removed from the pivoting body 3, are fictitious; they have made with the sole purpose of facilitating the description of both bodies
La botella en la que va montado el cierre presenta un gollete 17 de forma circular que define una boca de suministro sellada herméticamente por una lámina rasgable 1. El cierre, en su estado inicial anterior al montaje en la botella (no representado), lleva incorporada la lámina rasgable 1 en la parte inferior del cuerpo principal 2 destinada a aplicarse contra el gollete 17. La lámina rasgable 1 está realizada en un material complejo formado por papel o plástico y aluminio, y se fija al borde superior 18 del gollete 17, en el momento de montar el cierre en la botella durante la fabricación del producto envasado, utilizando un procedimiento de termosellado por inducción. Evidentemente, la lámina rasgable 1 puede ser de otro material y puede montarse en la boca del recipiente mediante cualquier otro procedimiento, sin salir por ello del marco de la presente invención.The bottle in which the closure is mounted presents a neck 17 of circular shape that defines a mouth of Hermetically sealed supply by a tear-off sheet 1. The closure, in its initial state prior to mounting on the bottle (no represented), the tear-off sheet 1 is incorporated in the part lower of the main body 2 intended to be applied against the neck 17. The tear-off sheet 1 is made of a material complex formed by paper or plastic and aluminum, and fixed to the edge top 18 of the neck 17, at the time of mounting the closure in the bottle during the manufacture of the packaged product, using a induction heat sealing procedure. Obviously, the tear-off sheet 1 can be of another material and can be mounted on the mouth of the container by any other procedure, without thereby leaving the framework of the present invention.
El cuerpo principal 2 presenta un tramo tubular 21 cuyo borde inferior se asienta sobre el borde superior 18 del gollete 17 aprisionando una zona periférica de la lámina rasgable 1, como puede en la vista en sección de la Fig. 3. La lámina rasgable 1 queda pues dispuesta en el plano del borde inferior del tramo tubular 21. A cierta distancia por encima de este plano, el cuerpo principal 2 presenta un tabique 12 que cierra dicho tramo tubular 21 y que presenta una ventana rectangular 13, como puede verse en las vistas ficticias de las Figs. 11 y 12. De los cantos laterales enfrentados de la ventana 13 sobresalen unos salientes 10. El cuerpo pivotante 3 presenta unas pestañas 9 que cooperan con dichos salientes 10 y que constituyen unos medios de trabado del cuerpo pivotante en su posición abatida. Como puede verse con más detalle en las Figs. 17 y 18, en la posición abatida del cuerpo pivotante 3 (Fig. 18) las pestañas 9 han pasado a presión por debajo de los salientes 10, tras una pequeña deformación elástica de los cuerpos 2 y 3, con lo cual el cuerpo pivotante 3 no puede ser levantado de nuevo.The main body 2 has a tubular section 21 whose lower edge sits on the upper edge 18 of the neck 17 clamping a peripheral area of the tear-off blade 1, as you can in the sectional view of Fig. 3. The sheet folding 1 is thus arranged in the plane of the lower edge of the tubular section 21. At a certain distance above this plane, the main body 2 has a partition 12 that closes said section tubular 21 and having a rectangular window 13, as can be seen in the fictitious views of Figs. 11 and 12. Of the songs opposite sides of the window 13 protrude overhangs 10. The pivoting body 3 has tabs 9 that cooperate with said projections 10 and which constitute locking means of the pivoting body in its collapsed position. As can be seen with more detail in Figs. 17 and 18, in the dejected position of the body pivoting 3 (Fig. 18) the tabs 9 have been pressed under under the protrusions 10, after a small elastic deformation of bodies 2 and 3, whereby the pivoting body 3 cannot be raised again.
El cuerpo pivotante 3, representado en detalle en las Figs 13 a 16 presenta la forma de un diedro formado por una cara superior 4 y una pala rasgadora 6, y está provisto de unas paredes paralelas 15 que se extienden internamente y perpendicularmente al diedro. La pala rasgadora 6 tiene en su extremo una forma dentada que facilita el inicio del rasgado de la lámina 1. La cara superior 4 define una superficie de empuje 5 destinada a recibir el dedo de un usuario. Los cantos laterales del cuerpo pivotante 3 presentan unas zonas rebajadas 14 en las que están dispuestas dichas pestañas 9.The pivoting body 3, shown in detail in Figs 13 to 16 it presents the form of a dihedral formed by a upper face 4 and a tearing blade 6, and is provided with parallel walls 15 that extend internally and perpendicular to the dihedral. The tearing blade 6 has in its end a jagged shape that facilitates the start of tearing the sheet 1. The upper face 4 defines a pushing surface 5 intended to receive a user's finger. The side edges of the pivoting body 3 have recessed areas 14 in which said tabs are arranged 9.
El cuerpo pivotante 3 se encuentra inicialmente en la posición levantada, unido al cuerpo principal 3 por la unión de bisagra 7, que une el canto posterior de la cara superior 4 con el canto posterior de la ventana 13, y por unos enlaces rompibles 11 que unen los costados de la pala rasgadora 6 con los bordes laterales de la ventana 13. En la posición inicial levantada, el cuerpo pivotante 3 cubre casi toda la superficie de la ventana 13, excepto un juego lateral donde se sitúan las pestañas 9, como puede verse en la vista superior de la Fig. 7.The pivoting body 3 is initially found in the raised position, attached to the main body 3 by the joint hinge 7, which joins the rear edge of the upper face 4 with the rear edge of the window 13, and for breakable links 11 that join the sides of the tearing blade 6 with the edges side of the window 13. In the initial raised position, the pivoting body 3 covers almost the entire surface of the window 13, except a side play where the tabs 9 are located, as you can see in the top view of Fig. 7.
El cuerpo principal 2 está provisto de unas cuñas de asiento 8 (Figs. 9 y 10) que sobresalen del tramo tubular 21 y en las que vienen a tope los cantos traseros de las paredes laterales 15 del cuerpo pivotante cuando éste alcanza su posición abatida. En esta posición abatida, la cara superior 4 del cuerpo pivotante es coplanaria con el tabique 12 del cuerpo principal, tal como puede verse en las Figs. 2 y 6.The main body 2 is provided with seat wedges 8 (Figs. 9 and 10) protruding from the tubular section 21 and where the back edges of the walls come to the top sides 15 of the pivoting body when it reaches its position dejected In this dejected position, the upper face 4 of the body pivot is coplanar with the partition 12 of the main body, such as can be seen in Figs. 2 and 6
Inicialmente, como se ya dicho, el cuerpo pivotante 3 se encuentra en la posición levantada representada en las Figs. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 y 17. Cuando el consumidor final desea romper la hermeticidad del cierre, empuja con su dedo sobre la superficie de empuje 5 del cuerpo pivotante 3, aplicando una fuerza suficiente para romper los enlaces rompibles 11 e iniciar así el movimiento del cuerpo pivotante 3. La pala rasgadora 6 alcanza la lámina rasgable 1 por su extremo dentado, rasgándola y atravesándola para formar una abertura 20, hasta que el cuerpo pivotante 3 alcanza la posición final abatida (Figs. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 y 18) en la que llega a tope contra las cuñas 8. La pala rasgadora 6 queda introducida en la ventana 13 y define junto con dicha ventana 13 un área de paso sobre la abertura 20 formada en la lámina rasgable 1. Las pestañas 9 han quedado trabadas por debajo de los salientes 10, de manera que el cuerpo pivotante 3 queda inmovilizado en dicha posición abatida.Initially, as already said, the body pivot 3 is in the raised position represented in Figs. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 17. When the final consumer wishes break the seal tightness, push with your finger on the thrust surface 5 of the pivoting body 3, applying a force enough to break the breakable links 11 and start the pivoting body movement 3. The tearing blade 6 reaches the 1 tear-off blade at its serrated end, tearing it and through it to form an opening 20, until the body pivot 3 reaches the final position dejected (Figs. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 18) in which it reaches the top against the wedges 8. The tearing blade 6 is entered in window 13 and defines together with said window 13 a passage area over the opening 20 formed in the sheet tear 1. Tabs 9 have been locked below the projections 10, so that the pivoting body 3 is immobilized in said dejected position.
