DOUBLE LAYER CONTAINER WITH DISINFECTING FUNCTION

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The object of the invention is a novel container for products or various substances for human, animal, phytosanitary or pharmaceutical consumption, of the disposable type, with a double protective layer of the product that goes inside: the outer layer of the container and a First layer or inner sheet covered with a disinfectant substance that allows aseptic access to the consumable product, thereby avoiding any type of contamination before and during use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present, various types of disposable packaging are known that serve to contain products or substances intended for human, animal, phytosanitary or pharmaceutical consumption (food, drugs or fertilizers, for example). These days, society is increasingly concerned about the risk of contamination of all those products that we consume or use, being very difficult to guarantee a complete asepsis of them. The disposable single-use containers on the market for food products or medicines, liquid or soluble, do not escape this risk. It is very difficult to guarantee the asepsis of the outer layer of said containers (in constant contact with potentially infectious external agents) and, by extension, the transmission to the contents of the container of any infection of the outer layer, either by previous contamination of the container itself, or by the manipulation that of the same is carried out by a third party (employee or waiter, for example) or by the final consumer himself.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The technical problem that the present invention solves is the achievement of an optimized disposable double-layer container that allows the user access to the final product or substance to be consumed free from potential infectious contamination that may affect the outer layer of said container. Thanks to its special design, the user, when opening or removing the outer layer of the container, accesses a first removable inner layer covered with a disinfectant substance and that will allow a subsequent aseptic access to the final product contained in the container, which would be contained under one or more isolated and independent layers placed after this first layer with disinfectant material (in the case of products whose final consumption requires the previous mixing of one or more components kept in isolation). In case the container contains several components isolated from each other, these may, in turn, be presented in separate wrappers within the same inner layer of the main container (always below the disinfectant layer), or in successive layers, isolated from each other.

The container recommended here has the advantage of being able to comply with the health regulations regarding its possible use both to contain food products and medicines that are presented in this type of disposable containers, be they liquid, solid or soluble, since the final content to Consume will be perfectly isolated from its outer layer and the inner disinfectant layer, avoiding potential contamination through the simple disinfection process carried out by the end consumer himself in the act prior to opening the container. This system will allow the commercialization of the product by dose, guaranteeing the individual use of the same safely, without risk of contamination.

Throughout the description and the claims the word "comprises" and its variants are not intended to exclude other technical characteristics, additives, components or steps. For those skilled in the art, other objects, advantages and characteristics of the invention will be partly understood of the description and in part of the practice of the invention. The following examples and drawings are provided by way of illustration and are not intended to restrict the present invention. Furthermore, the present invention covers all possible combinations of particular and preferred embodiments herein indicated.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, it is attached as An integral part of said description, a set of drawings where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the different phases of the functional opening process have been represented:

Figure 1 : shows a perspective view of the product container. This figure details the container opening system in phase number 1, at the time of opening the outer protective layer.

Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the product container. This figure details the container opening system in phase number 2, once the outer layer or first layer (protective covering) has been removed.

Figure 3 : shows a perspective view of the product container. This figure details the system for opening the container in its phase number 3, at the time of removal of the inner disinfectant layer.

Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the product container. This figure details the system for opening the container in its phase number 3, at the time of removal of the inner disinfectant layer.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 show a preferred embodiment of the envelope-type container for products or substances for human or animal consumption, disposable, made of plastic or other similar material, represented in each of the manual opening phases thereof. .

The geometric shape is rectangular, the smaller sides of which have longitudinally a band intended for manual opening of the wrapper or cover container.

Open the outer layer of the container or first layer (figure 1) by means of a system of easy rupture by dotted line or by adhesive, the inner layer covered with a disinfectant substance remains visible.

Once the outer layer is open that will reveal the sheet or inner layer disinfectant, located before the product wrapping housing, is accessed (figure 2) and the user can carry out a disinfection before the final handling of the product housed inside.

Once the disinfection has been carried out, we proceed to the final phase of the opening process (figure 3), removing the internal disinfectant sheet or layer, once used for its purpose, revealing the disposition of the product in its lower layer by means of the disposition of one or more independent wrappers. Figure 3 shows the opening of the final product wrapper with a cut line through its lower corner, for its dosage, but it may not have it.

Figure 4 shows the container in phase 4 of the opening process, once the internal disinfectant film or layer of the container has been discarded, leaving the container / s or wrapping of the packaged product or products free for final opening, which may be located in the same lower plane than the internal disinfectant layer and adhered to the upper part of the main container (welding zone), or in different layers separated by isolated sheets to avoid physical contact between them.
