Abstract

The invention relates to a plastic glass which is suitable for drinks that are intended for human consumption. The base of said plastic glass is specially designed such that the glass can be used (i) to open the pressurised metal container and subsequently (ii) as a vessel in order to consume the drink. The glass protects the container against any dirt that could build up in the opening for the liquid, thereby preventing infections. The lid of the metal container comprises a special punched design which is shaped such as to enable the container to be opened using the plastic glass.

Description

SISTEMA DE APERTURA DE ENVASES METÁLICOS DE BEBIDAS A PRESIÓN OPENING SYSTEM OF PRESSURE DRINKS METAL CONTAINERS
Esta invención consiste en un vaso de material plástico, apto para contener bebidas de consumo humano, que tiene un diseño especial en su base de tal forma que permita la apertura del envase metálico a presión y posteriormente sirva de recipiente para consumir la bebida.This invention consists of a glass of plastic material, suitable for containing beverages for human consumption, which has a special design in its base in such a way that it allows the opening of the metal pressure container and subsequently serves as a container to consume the beverage.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Actualmente la apertura de envases metálicos a presión se realiza mediante una anilla que al tirar rasga la superficie de la lata y simultáneamente se produce una abertura por donde sale la bebida.At the moment the opening of metallic containers under pressure is carried out by means of a ring that, when thrown, tears the surface of the can and simultaneously an opening is produced where the drink comes out.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El sistema de apertura de envases metálicos con bebidas a presión o sin presión consiste en un vaso de plástico, de material apto para contener bebidas de consumo humano, que va superpuesto a la lata. Este vaso tiene en su base las siguientes características:The opening system of metal containers with beverages under pressure or without pressure consists of a plastic cup, made of material suitable for containing beverages for human consumption, which is superimposed on the can. This glass has the following characteristics at its base:
(a) Un tetraedro, cono o pirámide centrada del mismo material plástico del vaso.(a) A tetrahedron, cone or centered pyramid of the same plastic material of the vessel.
(b) Toda la base está ondulada con pliegues concéntricos de tal forma que la hacen flexible a la presión perpendicular en el centro. Estos pliegues evitan la rotura de la base del vaso cuando se ejerce una presión perpendicular sobre ella.(b) The entire base is undulated with concentric folds in such a way that they make it flexible to the perpendicular pressure in the center. These folds prevent breakage of the base of the vessel when a perpendicular pressure is exerted on it.
(c) El borde inferior de este vaso de plástico tendrá suficiente rigidez mecánica para resistir el apoyo vertical de sucesivas latas superpuestas y permitir así el transporte y almacenaje de grupos de latas. El vaso de plástico entra en la lata con una ligera presión y queda preparado para que cuando se ejerza una fuerza perpendicular a la base y centrada, el vértice del tetraedro presione el dibujo de rotura controlada de la lata liberando el gas y rasgando la superficie para producir una abertura predefinido. Posteriormente se saca el vaso que permanece superpuesto a la lata y se utiliza para beber el contenido de dicha lata.(c) The lower edge of this plastic cup will have sufficient mechanical rigidity to resist the vertical support of successive superimposed cans and thus allow the transport and storage of groups of cans. The plastic cup enters the can with a slight pressure and is prepared so that when a force is exerted perpendicular to the base and centered, the apex of the tetrahedron presses the drawing of controlled breakage of the can releasing the gas and tearing the surface to produce a predefined opening. Subsequently, the vessel that remains superimposed on the can is removed and used to drink the contents of said can.
Este vaso hace las funciones de tapa en la lata protegiéndola de la suciedad y haciendo, por tanto, mas higiénico el envase.This glass acts as a lid on the can, protecting it from dirt and, therefore, making the container more hygienic.
HOJA DE SUSTITUCIÓN (REGLA 26) DESCRIPCIÓN DE LOS DIBUJOSSUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
La figura 1 corresponde al vaso de plástico que sirve de tapa protectora al mismo tiempo que permite abrir el envase metálico contiene la bebida a presión.Figure 1 corresponds to the plastic cup that serves as a protective lid while allowing to open the metal container containing the pressurized beverage.
La figura 2 corresponde al envase metálico que contiene la bebida a presión. Este envase es del mismo material que se utiliza actualmente para consumo de refrescos y otros tipos de bebidas.Figure 2 corresponds to the metal container containing the pressurized beverage. This package is of the same material that is currently used for the consumption of soft drinks and other types of beverages.
En el dibujo de la planta de la lata se muestra la forma que tiene el dibujo troquelado en la superficie que permite la abertura del recipiente mediante rotura controlada.The drawing of the tin plant shows the shape of the die-cut pattern on the surface that allows the opening of the container by controlled breakage.
La figura 3 muestra como quedan ensambladas ambas partes. Se puede observar que el vaso queda embutido en la lata con una ligera presión suficiente para que no se salga. Esta presión debe ser tal que permita sacar el vaso de lata y poder consumir el contenido.Figure 3 shows how both parts are assembled. It can be seen that the glass is embedded in the can with a slight enough pressure so that it does not come out. This pressure must be such that the can can be removed from the can and the contents can be consumed.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE UNA REALIZACIÓN PREFERIDADESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
El vaso se realizará en material plástico biocompatible apto para contener bebidas de consumo humano y podrá fabricarse transparente o en cualquier color.The glass will be made of biocompatible plastic material capable of containing drinks for human consumption and can be manufactured transparent or in any color.
Tanto el tetraedro como los pliegues concéntricos de la base del vaso forman una sola pieza construida en el material plástico descrito antes.Both the tetrahedron and the concentric folds of the base of the vessel form a single piece constructed in the plastic material described above.
Estos pliegues concéntricos permiten una deformación a la presión perpendicular en el centro de la base sin llegar a la rotura del material.These concentric folds allow a perpendicular pressure deformation in the center of the base without reaching the breakage of the material.
Al ejercer presión en el centro de la base, el vértice del tetraedro que está en el interior del baso presiona también en el centro de la superficie de la lata. Esta presión provoca que se rompa el dibujo troquelado de la superficie liberando el gas interno. Si la presión continua se produce la apertura mediante una rotura controlada por el dibujo troquelado.By exerting pressure on the center of the base, the apex of the tetrahedron inside the base also presses on the center of the can surface. This pressure causes the die-cut pattern of the surface to break freeing the internal gas. If the pressure continues the opening is produced by a break controlled by the die-cut drawing.
Una vez provocada la abertura se saca el vaso de plástico y se utiliza para consumir el contenido de la lata.Once the opening is provoked, the plastic cup is removed and used to consume the contents of the can.
Este sistema de apertura proporciona un ahorro de aluminio en la fabricación de latas y simplifica notablemente el diseño de estas. El vaso de plástico permite también mantener mas tiempo la temperatura de la bebida en la lata antes de abrirla. El plástico envuelve gran parte de la lata haciendo de aislante frente a la alta conductividad térmica del envase metálico.This opening system provides savings of aluminum in the manufacture of cans and greatly simplifies the design of these. The plastic cup also allows you to keep the temperature of the beverage in the can longer before opening it. The plastic wraps a large part of the can as an insulator against the high thermal conductivity of the metal container.
