• the object of the present application is the registration of a container protector.
• the invention proposes the development of a container protector, intended to be coupled in cylindrical containers that include a rivet protruding in the upper part of the container itself, comprising an upper cover to cover the upper face of the container and a lower ring coupled to the side wall of the container, such that the lower ring has the ability to rotate with respect to the container.
• the protectors described in the above patents satisfactorily comply with the hygienic purpose, the market demands more and more, new needs, among which is the possibility of being able to place the protectors in an aligned manner with respect to a mark or point of the container in order to improve the presence of the exhibition of the containers when they are exposed, for example, in the retail sale, where the visual aspect of the package as a whole (the visualization of the brand or product logo, promotions) is an aspect of great interest to the distribution companies.
• the present invention has been developed in order to provide a protector for containers that is configured as a novelty within the field of application and solves the aforementioned drawbacks, providing, in addition, other additional advantages that will be evident from the description that is accompanies next.
• the invention is characterized in that the lower ring includes at a point near its upper rim a plurality of interlocking tabs spaced apart from each other, which protrude from an inner face of the lower ring in an upward direction and along of the entire perimeter of the lower ring, said locking tabs having an angle of inclination with respect to a vertical portion of the lower ring, said locking tabs being designed to grip the side wall of the container and stop below the rivet present in the upper part of the container, and in which the top cover includes at least one negative portion protruding from an inner face of a perimeter flange, which is linked with the locking tabs in a condition of closing the upper cover with respect to the ring lower.
• At least said negative portion protruding from the inner face of a perimeter flange is facing and in contact with the locking tabs in a closed condition of the upper cover with respect to the lower ring.
• the container protector comprises a plurality of negative portions protruding from the inside face of a perimeter flange, which are facing and in contact with the locking tabs in a condition of closing the upper cover with respect to the lower ring.
• the container protector comprises a plurality of negative portions protruding from the inner face of a perimeter flange, which are occupying the free space existing between the locking flanges in a closing condition of the upper cover with respect to to the lower ring.
• Said lower ring also includes a lower chamfered extension that facilitates the insertion of the lower ring in the container since it allows to absorb possible centering variations between the protector and the container at the time of assembly.
• the exit area of the container through which it leaves, for example a beverage to be consumed the rotation of the protector assembly with respect to the container is facilitated, which allows to align the "Front position" of the protector with respect to a certain point of the rest of the container.
• this structural configuration prevents the protector from being extracted undesirably from the container.
• the presence of the interlocking tabs reduces the deformation that the rest of the lower ring may suffer during the assembly of the protector in a corresponding container.
• each of the locking tabs have a recess of material thickness in a lower region, which allows a degree of flexibility thereof, which facilitates the placement of the protector in the container during an operation of Assembly, thus optimizing a process of assembly, as well as facilitates the action of rotation of the protector with respect to the container on which it is mounted.
• the lower ring has a plurality of partitions protruding from the outer face thereof, thus providing a better grip surface of the protector for the user to facilitate the rotation thereof in case it is required.
• a side wall of the top cover has a plurality of partitions.
• the partitions present in the upper cover are complementary in shape and size with respect to the partitions present in the lower ring.
• Figure 1. It is a perspective view of a first embodiment of a protector for containers according to the present invention in an open position;
• Figure 2. It is a perspective view of the container protector represented in figure 1 in a closed position placed in a container;
• Figure 3.- Is a detail view in elevation of a section of the container protector in a functional condition, assembled in a container;
• Figure 4 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the protector for containers of the present invention.
• Figure 5. It is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the protector for containers of the present invention. Y
• Figure 6. It is a schematic view of a mounting sequence of the protector of the invention in a conventional container.
• the container protector intended to be coupled in cylindrical containers that include a rivet protruding in the upper part of the container itself, comprising an upper lid (1). ) to cover the upper face of the container and a lower ring (2) attachable to the side wall of the container (E), the upper cover (1) and the lower ring (2) being linked together in a hinged manner by a hinge section (3), both of which are made of an injection moldable plastic material.
• this protector has a double functionality, as a hermetic seal and sealing gasket thanks to the structural configuration of the protector shown in figures 1 and 4.
• the top cover includes at least one negative portion (16) (first embodiment shown in Figure 1) protruding from an inner face of a perimeter flange (17), which is facing and in contact in a region of the locking tabs ( 4) and the rivet (10) of the container in a closed condition of the upper lid (1) with respect to the lower ring (2).
• FIG. 4 differs from that shown in FIG. 1, in the arrangement of a plurality of negative portions (16) spaced apart from each other located along the length of the perimeter flange (17).
• the lower ring (2) includes at a point near its upper rim a plurality of interlocking tabs (4) spaced apart from each other, which protrude from an inner face of the lower ring (2). ) in an upward direction and along the entire perimeter of the lower ring (2), said locking tabs having an angle of inclination with respect to a vertical portion (5) of the lower ring, said locking tabs (4) being designed to grip to the side wall of the container (E) and make stop below the rivet (10) present in the upper part of the container (E).
• each of the locking tabs (4) has a recess (40) of material thickness in a lower region, as can be seen in greater detail in figure 3.
• the lower ring (2) and side wall of the upper cover (1) have a plurality of protruding partitions (6, 7) of their respective outer faces. Mention that the partitions (6) present in the upper cover (1) are complementary in shape and size with respect to the partitions (7) present in the lower ring (2).
• the protector includes a guarantee seal that is formed by a pair of projections (8) that protrude externally of the lower ring and are inserted in corresponding windows (14) in a condition prior to a first use of the container.
• a guarantee seal that is formed by a pair of projections (8) that protrude externally of the lower ring and are inserted in corresponding windows (14) in a condition prior to a first use of the container.
• the upper lid (1) preferably includes a housing (11) which is formed by a centered projection portion, which defines a space for housing additional objects, such as an envelope or sachet containing some food ingredient or a cutlery utensil or the like .
• the upper part of the housing has a flat surface (12), which facilitates the arrangement of advertising inscriptions on such an easily readable surface for the consumer.
• a tongue (13) is provided which is located in the front part of the upper lid (1), as shown in figures 2 and 3.
• the lower ring further includes a lower chamfered extension (15) provided to facilitate insertion of the lower ring into the container.
• Figure 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention that differs from that shown in figure 4 in the fact that the upper cover includes a negative that overlaps with the locking tabs (4) present in the lower ring ( 2), protruding from the negative section of the upper cover (1) small protrusions (18) occupying the space between the locking tabs of the lower ring (2).
• Figure 6 shows the process of placing the protector in a can-type container, which is done by pressing on the upper lid, the upper lid being the one that pushes the lower ring until it reaches the joint position of clipping under the Rivet present in the container.
• the aforementioned interlocking tabs of the lower ring have a section with a thickness recess, thus producing a specific point of flexion / rotation that makes it possible during the assembly process in which the locking tabs collide against the rivet of the container, such locking tabs (4) open vertically and allow entry to the lower ring until the locking tabs are lodged under the rivet of the container.
