Description

DESCRIPTION

CONTAINER PROTECTOR

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a container protector that ensures that the contained beverage is not contaminated in the event of ingestion directly from the container, such as a glass, bottle, bottle, can or the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Ingesting beverages from a container is the natural way to drink in most cases. This container can be a bottle, bottle or can from which it is drunk directly, or a glass in which the drink is previously poured and then consumed directly from it.

In the case of containers for private use or by a single person, there is no problem in case of contamination of the drink, since if there is an infectious agent, it is not spread to other people. But there are times when the drinking container is shared, either because of confusion or because there is not a container for each person. In this case, contagion between different people will surely occur if any of them carry a pathogen and transfer it to the drink, contaminating it, a circumstance that is avoided with the use of the protector of the invention.

It goes without saying that, in cases of pandemic such as the one we are currently experiencing worldwide due to the coronavirus, it is essential to try to prevent these cases from occurring to minimize the risk of contagion, which is achieved with the present invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The container protector of the invention can be applied to any container from which it can be drunk, such as bottles, glasses, cans, bottles, etc.

According to the invention, the protector comprises a nozzle made of elastic and sanitary material (understood as suitable for contact with food), provided with shapes adapted to the mouth of the container to be protected. Thus, the elasticity of the nozzle material and the shapes adapted to the mouth of the container achieve a fixation by adjustment (perfect and watertight) in the mouth of the container during the consumption of the content or drink, and cover and protect it, avoiding the Contamination of the content or drink due to manipulation of the container when consuming directly from them. As the only contact of the person with the drink is at the time of entry into the user's mouth, at no time is the rest of the drink contained in the container contaminated, making it available to other people at another time, logically changing the nozzle so as not to share it.

This would be the most generic and simple configuration of the invention, which can be complemented with other characteristics as will be seen below.
