Definitions

  • a subject of the present invention is a package for beverages, preserves and the like.
  • beverage containers especially refreshing, and canning and others have weakening lines with tearing means or imaginary cutting lines for the corresponding cutting means on the lid of the package.
  • the aforementioned containers for soft drinks, preserves, and others have serious contamination problems.
  • said known packages present a total lack of hygiene and safety for the user, since in said containers dust, dirt, germs and others can easily accumulate, which can affect the health of the users.
  • tearing means and weakening lines which for opening in the old models are subjected to a tilting and pulling by pulling said tearing means that are separated from the container and they define an opening in the lid, and in modern models said tearing means are subjected by the user to a tilting that introduces a part thereof into an opening that they practice in the lid and which are integral with it.
  • US-A-3 547 308 of GILLIEM LESTER G presents a beverage tube that combines elastic means to push it outwards when the container is opened.
  • Said means may be embedded in the drinking tube. Said embodiment complicates the manufacture of the container, and does not allow the entire contents thereof to be drunk, and does not completely maintain the contents of the container without contamination.
  • RICHARD that presents a neck, in the form of a bellows, outside the container, to be lengthened by traction. It has the disadvantage that it is totally outside the container, and therefore, does not prevent contamination of the contents when the user drinks.
  • the Spanish patent No. P9401620 of the same applicant aims to eliminate the aforementioned inconveniences, so that the consumption of refreshing beverages, canned products, and others, by the user does not have the slightest danger of contamination, keeping said products, beverages and / or preserves, in perfect state of hygiene during consumption, and totally avoids the possibility of ingestion of particles, and others, of metals, which produces irreversible diseases very serious for health, with which safeguards the user's health integrity at all times.
  • Said patent nQ P9401620 is intended for a package for beverages, preserves and the like, which comprises in its mouth a device combined with the lid inside the same that at the opening of the latter determines the emergency with respect to the mouth of the container of a tubular body through which the product contained in the package has direct output without contact with the outside of it.
  • the tubular body protrudes from the body of the container by the action of an elastic bellows.
  • the tubular body is infertorily linked to an enveloping and integral bellows of the lid.
  • the tubular body could itself constitute the bellows.
  • the tubular body is closed at its end by a tear and solidarity membrane. In the case of carbonated beverages, it is the gas pressure itself that makes the tubular body protrude from the container body.
  • the package according to said patent nJ P9401620 has two important drawbacks.
  • a drawback is the realization of the flange of the container by arranging the continuous sheet between the lid and the body of the container, which significantly complicates the constitution of the flange and makes the manufacturing of the entire package more expensive.
  • the other drawback is the fact that the edge of the part of the lid that is torn when opening the container, can injure the user while consuming its contents.
  • the present invention eliminates the aforementioned problems, for which in essence, on the one hand, it fixes the pemetric edge of the continuous sheet in the lid itself, and on the other hand, it facilitates the bending on itself of the tear-off part of the lid, also presenting the arromed edge.
  • the beverage and canning container is characterized in that the tubular body is extended in the form of a continuous sheet whose perimeter edge is hermetically connected to the inner face of the lid according to a closed line disposed between the line of weakening of the lid to effect the opening of the container, and the flange of the container, whose tubular body is closed at its end by a membrane, and because the part of the tear-off lid, delimited by the weakening line, incorporates an intermediate fold line that at the opening of the container it allows the foldable part of the lid to be folded on itself.
  • the weakening line of the lid when practicing the opening of the container presents two opposite entrances in correspondence with the intermediate double line.
  • the edge of the continuous sheet is hermetically sealed in a continuous fit provided on the inner face of the lid disposed between the line of weakening of the lid and the flange of the container.
  • the membrane is permanently attached to the tubular body and can be detachable from the tubular body for opening and allows its subsequent closure by means of a conventional closure element, or it can be attachable to the tubular body after opening to effect closure. back of it.

Abstract

Récipient pour boissons, conserves et autres, comprenant un corps tubulaire disposé au niveau de la partie interne du couvercle et qui, lors de l'ouverture du récipient, émerge à l'extérieur et permet au produit de sortir sans entrer en contact avec la partie extérieure du récipient, ledit corps tubulaire se prolongeant sous la forme d'une feuille continue, qui, par son bord périmétrique, est solidaire de la face interne du couvercle selon une ligne fermée disposée entre la ligne d'affaiblissement du couvercle et le rebord du récipient. Le corps tubulaire est fermé à son extrémité au moyen d'une membrane. La partie d'arrachement du couvercle, délimitée par la ligne d'affaiblissement, comporte une ligne de pliage qui, lors de l'ouverture du récipient, permet le pliage sur elle-même de la partie d'arrachement du couvercle.
