Description

Lata de bebida y boquilla para la misma.Drink can and nozzle for it.

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a una boquilla que, conjuntamente con una especial estructuración de una lata de bebida, tales como cerveza, refrescos y similares, permitiendo un consumo del contenido de forma cómoda para el consumidor, evitando el derrame del líquido sobre el borde perimetral de la lata y el contacto con los labios sobre el mismo.The present invention relates to a nozzle which, together with a special structuring of a can of beverage, such as beer, soda and the like, allowing a content consumption conveniently for the consumer, avoiding the spill of the liquid on the perimeter edge of the can and the lip contact on it.

Background of the invention

Como es sabido, las latas de bebidas incorporan un cierre en su base superior que se abre mediante fraccionado de una lengüeta, dejando al descubierto una abertura a través de la cual se lleva a cabo el vaciado o consumo directo del contenido de la lata por parte del consumidor.As is known, beverage cans incorporate a closure in its upper base that is opened by fractioning of a tongue, exposing an opening through the which is carried out the emptying or direct consumption of the content of the can by the consumer.

Para permitir el consumo directo, e incluso para poder llevar a cabo el vaciado de forma mas eficaz, el cierre y por tanto la correspondiente boca tras la liberación del cierre, queda situada de forma excéntrica, es decir en proximidad al borde de la base superior de la lata, de manera que cuando se realiza un consumo directo por parte del consumidor, éste debe necesariamente apoyar sus labios en el borde de la lata, independientemente de que al estar realizada la abertura sobre una superficie plana, normalmente se producen pequeños derrames, goteos, etc., lo que por una parte es incómodo a la hora de llevar a cabo el consumo directo y por otra parte el usuario o consumidor puede ver manchada la ropa ante el goteo o derrame anteriormente comentado, todo ello independientemente de que al tocar con los labios parte de la superficie superior de la lata, así como el borde la misma, la falta de higiene es evidente, pudiendo afectar a la salud del consumidor, al entrar su boca o labios en contacto directo con posibles gérmenes que pudieran estar depositados en esa zona de la lata de bebida con la que el consumidor debe forzosamente contactar, pudiendo llevar una abertura de protección de forma opcional.To allow direct consumption, and even for to be able to carry out the emptying more effectively, the closing and by both the corresponding mouth after the release of the closure, remains located eccentrically, that is in proximity to the edge of the upper base of the can, so that when a direct consumption by the consumer, it must necessarily rest your lips on the edge of the can, regardless of when the opening is made on a flat surface, small spills, drips, etc. usually occur, which by one part is uncomfortable when carrying out direct consumption and on the other hand the user or consumer can see stained clothes before the drip or spill previously commented, all this regardless of touching part of the upper surface of the can, as well as the edge thereof, the Lack of hygiene is evident, and may affect the health of the consumer, when entering his mouth or lips in direct contact with possible germs that could be deposited in that area of the can of drink with which the consumer must necessarily contact, being able to wear a protective opening optional.

Description of the invention

La lata que la invención propone resuelve de manera plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, de manera que partiendo de la estructuración convencional anteriormente descrita, centra sus características en el hecho de que perimetralmente al borde que define la abertura de salida del contenido de la lata se establece internamente un rehundido a base de una doble pared, del mimo material constitutivo de la base superior de la lata, en el que es acoplable ajustadamente una boquilla formal y dimensionalmente adecuada a dicho rehundido.The can proposed by the invention resolves fully satisfactory way the problem above exposed, so that starting from the conventional structuring described above, focuses its characteristics on the fact that perimeter to the edge that defines the exit opening of the can content is established internally a rewind based of a double wall, of the same constituent material of the base top of the can, in which a formally and dimensionally suitable nozzle to said recess.

De forma más concreta, tanto el citado rehundido como la correspondiente boquilla presentarán una sección en "U", de ramas extremas estranguladas, pudiéndose lata y boquilla suministrar tanto de forma aislada como conjuntamente.More specifically, both the aforementioned re-sunk as the corresponding nozzle will present a section in "U", of strangulated extreme branches, being able to and nozzle supply both in isolation and together.

De acuerdo con otra de las características de la invención, se ha previsto que la boquilla incorpore una serie de relieves perimetrales externos o internos en ambos extremos de la misma, de manera que el relieve superior determinará un elemento de tope en el acoplamiento de la boquilla en el citado rehundido, mientras que el o los relieves inferiores preferentemente, a modo de arpón, determinará los medios de fijación estable de dicha boquilla en el seno del rehundido. Para ello, y como es obvio, el citado rehundido presentará una geometría acorde a dichos medios de acoplamiento, materializado en el correspondiente ensanchamiento.According to another of the characteristics of the invention, it is provided that the nozzle incorporates a series of external or internal perimeter reliefs on both ends of the same, so that the upper relief will determine an element of stop in the coupling of the nozzle in said recessed, while the lower relief (s) preferably, by way of of harpoon, will determine the means of stable fixation of said nozzle in the sinus. To do this, and of course, the said re-sunk will present a geometry according to said means of coupling, materialized in the corresponding widening

Opcionalmente el citado rehundido podrá incorporar más de un ensanchamiento, en orden a permitir varias posiciones estables de la boquilla en función del grado de penetración de la misma en el seno del citado rehundido.Optionally the said re-sunk may incorporate more than one widening, in order to allow several stable nozzle positions depending on the degree of penetration of the same within said recess.

Por último cabe destacar que, la citada boquilla, en su zona postero-superior, es susceptible de estar cerrada mediante una pestaña o elemento transversal, bajo la cual se determina un hueco para permitir la entrada de aire y facilitar así la salida del líquido contenido en la lata, de tal manera que no impida el fraccionado de la lengüeta y que esta se introduzca por debajo de ese hueco para llevar a cabo la apertura.Finally, it should be noted that the aforementioned mouthpiece, in its postero-superior zone, is liable to be closed by a tab or element transverse, under which a gap is determined to allow air inlet and thus facilitate the exit of the liquid contained in the can, in such a way that it does not prevent the fractionation of the tongue and that this is introduced below that hole to carry out the opening.

Opcionalmente la lata podrá estar asistida por una lámina protectora de cubrición, la cual afectará a la boca de salida, cubriéndola en situación inoperante y evitando así la deposición alrededor de la misma de suciedad, lámina de cubrición que dispondrá de una pestaña para su retirada, pudiendo eliminarse definitivamente, o quedar ésta abisagrada al borde diametralmente opuesto a la citada boca de salida.Optionally the can can be assisted by a protective covering sheet, which will affect the mouth of exit, covering it in an inoperative situation and thus avoiding deposition around it of dirt, cover sheet which will have a tab for removal, and can be removed definitely, or be hinged to the edge diametrically opposite to the aforementioned outlet.
