Abstract
A structural arrangement in a seal for beverage containers, forming a seal and a beverage container combination, enabling for the beverage containers to be opened by removing the seal, thus preventing the seal from contacting the liquid, preventing contamination of the liquid while providing a fast and practical removal of the seal.
Description
- The present Utility Model Patent is directed to a structural arrangement in a seal for beverage containers, pertaining to the technical field of packaging accessories in general but relating more particularly to a new seal for cans for beverages, such as beer, juices and soft drinks, or any other beverage or product that uses the packaging container in question, which yields practical, secure and functional results that are very advantageous.
- Beverage cans are widely known, but only a few people is aware of http://aleriln1.alerj.rj.gov.br, related to the amendment to Bill 2833/2002 that regulates the requirement to print information on beverage cans for alerting consumers of the need to wash the can before drinking the liquid, whose justification is as follows:
- “Recent research carried out by specific laboratories have disclosed serious contamination in beverage cans. It was found that on the average large amounts of Bacteria Colony Forming Units per square centimeter (UFC/cm) of fecal coliforms get in touch with the mouth of the consumer, among a number of other microorganisms. The total coliforms indicate precarious hygiene, since the ingestion of a beverage in a can carrying fecal coliforms is the same as putting the mouth in a thoroughly contaminated material, bringing about diarrhea and vomit. Infectologists alert that the current model of the cans is quite deficient, since the dirty seal of the can may contact the liquid and stimulate the proliferation of bacteria as soon as it is opened.
- In our State a lot of consumers have acquired several types of illness caused by contaminated beverage cans, and even a few cases of death have been reported.
- Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to alert consumers on beverage in a proper way in a clear and objective language for clarifying the consumer. It cannot be admitted that the lack of information is the main cause of illnesses any longer.”
- Thus, the purpose of this patent is to provide a more hygienic use of can containers, in order to prevent/avoid the liquid from being contaminated. Practically no one has noticed so far that the lid is inserted into the can when the seal is broken, thus establishing a direct contact with the drink, so, in view of this fact the present invention was developed wherein, by using the structural arrangement in a seal for beverage containers and constructive variants thereof, the beverage cans can be opened by removing the seal, thus preventing the same from contacting the liquid, while providing a fast practical removal of the seal.

FIGS. 6.1 and 6.2 , in a fifth constructive variant, the seal (1) is provided with a rectilinear lever (30) that is disposed horizontally and connected to the fixed end, an elliptical region (4) or in the shape of the opening of the container, provided with an attachment system (5), welded, glued or pressed, and may optionally be made as a single body, said lever (3) being disposed in order to form a slight fold (301) in the edge that, in turn, forms the tooth (301′) that perforates the peripheral region of the elliptical body (4), followed by an extension (302) and ending in a semicircular ring (303) that is accommodated on the circular recess(60) made in the upper portion of the can (2), so that the user may grasp same easily. - In accordance with
FIGS. 7.1 and 7.2 , in a sixth constructive variant, the lever (30) is provided with two curved rods (304) at the fixed end thereof that form an ancillary lever for removing the elliptical body (4), thus preventing same from contacting the liquid. - In accordance with
FIGS. 8.1 to 8.8 , in a seventh constructive variant, the lever (30), is provided at the fixed end thereof of an inverted U-shaped extension (305) provided in the end thereof with a blade/guillotine type tooth (305′), forming a tip and an ancillary lever for removing the elliptical body (4), thus preventing same from contacting the liquid. - In accordance with
FIGS. 9.1 and 9.2 , in an eighth constructive variant, the lever (30), is arranged in order to form a circular ring (306) at the free end of the extension (302). - In accordance with
FIGS. 10.1 and 10.2 , in a ninth constructive variant, the lever (30), is arranged in order to form a rectilinear extension (307) at the fixed end thereof of the extension (302), that forms an ancillary lever for removing the elliptical body (4), thus preventing same from contacting the liquid. - In accordance with
