Description

DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
Envase de refrigeración rápida SECTOR DE LA TÉCNICA Rapid refrigeration container TECHNICAL SECTOR
La presente solicitud se refiere a un envase que permite la refrigeración rápida de bebidas u otros elementos portados por el envase. The present application refers to a container that allows rapid refrigeration of drinks or other items carried by the container.
ESTADO DE LA TÉCNICA STATE OF THE ART
Se conoce en el estado de la técnica una gran cantidad de envases, con forma cilindrica, paralelepipédica, troncocónica... Todos ellos comprenden una superficie exterior que dentro de la cual se contiene el producto. Algunos de estos envases poseen capas aislantes, de material poco transmisor de calor, o con otras propiedades. A large number of containers are known in the state of the art, with a cylindrical, parallelepipedic, frustoconical shape... All of them comprise an outer surface within which the product is contained. Some of these containers have insulating layers, made of material with little heat transmission, or with other properties.
También se conoce en el estado de la técnica la existencia de tubos flexibles rellenos de un fluido que se disponen alrededor de botellas, por ejemplo de vino blanco, para mantener su temperatura. Este sistema es razonablemente eficaz, pero aumenta el diámetro de la botella y puede causar accidentes dado que no se puede agarrar correctamente la botella. Also known in the state of the art is the existence of flexible tubes filled with a fluid that are arranged around bottles, for example white wine, to maintain their temperature. This system is reasonably effective, but it increases the diameter of the bottle and can cause accidents as the bottle cannot be properly gripped.
No se conoce una forma de acelerar la refrigeración del envase, con la alta seguridad y eficiencia propias de la invención. There is no known way to speed up the refrigeration of the container, with the high safety and efficiency of the invention.
El solicitante no conoce ningún tipo de dispositivo que permita resolver todos estos problemas de forma tan sencilla como la invención. The Applicant is not aware of any type of device that makes it possible to solve all these problems in a manner as simple as the invention.
BREVE EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
La invención consiste en un envase de refrigeración rápida según la reivindicación primera. Sus diferentes variantes resuelven los problemas reseñados. The invention consists of a rapid refrigeration container according to the first claim. Its different variants solve the problems outlined.
El envase de refrigeración rápida está formado por un cuerpo de envase con una abertura (que frecuentemente está cerrada mientras no está en uso). El cuerpo comprende una cavidad con una masa térmica (es decir, con capacidad calorífica apreciable). Esta masa está en el interior de la cavidad y es extraíble desde el exterior del cuerpo sin necesidad de acceder a la abertura. The quick chill container is formed by a container body with an opening (which is often closed when not in use). The body comprises a cavity with a thermal mass (i.e., with heat capacity appreciable). This mass is inside the cavity and is removable from the outside of the body without the need to access the opening.
La cavidad ofrece dos ventajas apreciables. Por un lado aumenta la superficie exterior del envase cuando la masa está extraída, por ejemplo dentro de un frigorífico. Por lo tanto, se puede refrigerar más rápidamente. Por otro lado, al incluir la masa se mantiene ese contacto con un objeto a la temperatura deseable. La masa, por ejemplo, puede ser una cámara sellada rellena de un fluido como agua con sal o un gel. Como la masa nunca está en contacto con el producto, el fluido puede no ser comestible e incluir efectos estéticos: fluorescencia, purpurina... The cavity offers two appreciable advantages. On the one hand, the outer surface of the container increases when the dough is extracted, for example inside a refrigerator. Therefore, it can be refrigerated more quickly. On the other hand, by including the dough, that contact with an object is maintained at the desirable temperature. The dough, for example, can be a sealed chamber filled with a fluid such as salt water or a gel. As the mass is never in contact with the product, the fluid may not be edible and may include aesthetic effects: fluorescence, glitter...
Preferiblemente, la cavidad está en la parte inferior del cuerpo. Preferably, the cavity is in the lower part of the body.
La masa puede poseer un retenedor para retenerla en la cavidad. Puede ser, entre otras soluciones, una rosca, una goma en su contorno que aumente la fricción, etc. The dough may have a retainer to retain it in the cavity. It can be, among other solutions, a thread, a rubber in its contour that increases friction, etc.
Otras variantes se aprecian en el resto de la memoria. Other variants are appreciated in the rest of the memory.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LAS FIGURAS DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
Para una mejor comprensión de la invención, se incluyen las siguientes figuras. For a better understanding of the invention, the following figures are included.
Figura 1 : Vista lateral esquemática de un primer ejemplo de realización, correspondiente a una lata de bebida. Figure 1: Schematic side view of a first embodiment, corresponding to a beverage can.
Figura 2: Esquema de un segundo ejemplo de realización, en este caso un vaso. Figure 2: Diagram of a second embodiment, in this case a glass.
MODOS DE REALIZACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN MODES OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
A continuación, se pasa a describir de manera breve un modo de realización de la invención, como ejemplo ilustrativo y no limitativo de ésta. An embodiment of the invention is briefly described below, as an illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.
Los ejemplos de realización mostrados en las figuras parten de un cuerpo (1 ) de envase, en este caso una lata de bebida, que comprenden sendas cavidades (2) para la inserción de una masa (3) a temperatura adecuada. Generalmente la masa (3) estará fría y acabará de ser extraída de un frigorífico o congelador. En la figura 1 , la cavidad (2) se ha representado en la base del cuerpo (1 ), de forma que la masa (3) se inserta desde abajo y posee un retenedor (4) que en este caso es una rosca. La cavidad (2) de este ejemplo posee la rosca conjugada. La masa (3) también puede estar retenida en la cavidad (2) por un sistema de bayoneta, por una goma en parte o todo el contorno de la masa que aumenta la fricción con las paredes internas de la cavidad (2), etc. The embodiments shown in the figures start from a container body (1), in this case a beverage can, which comprise respective cavities (2) for the insertion of a dough (3) at a suitable temperature. Generally the dough (3) will be cold and has just been taken from a fridge or freezer. In figure 1, the cavity (2) has been represented at the base of the body (1), so that the mass (3) is inserted from below and has a retainer (4) which in this case is a thread. The cavity (2) of this example has the mating thread. The mass (3) can also be retained in the cavity (2) by a bayonet system, by a rubber part or all of the contour of the mass that increases friction with the internal walls of the cavity (2), etc.
En la figura 2, la cavidad (2) está dispuesta en el costado del cuerpo (1) del envase. En este caso, el retenedor (4) es menos necesario pero sigue siendo conveniente. In Figure 2, the cavity (2) is arranged on the side of the body (1) of the container. In this case, the retainer (4) is less necessary but still convenient.
De esta forma, la masa (3) tiene un alto contacto con el contenido del envase por todas las paredes de la cavidad (2). Si la cavidad está situada en un punto elevado, próximo a la boca del envase, el contacto sólo se asegura al verter. Por eso es preferible que la cavidad (2) afecte a la parte inferior del cuerpo (1), aunque pueda ser más alto (como en la figura 1). In this way, the mass (3) has a high contact with the contents of the container on all the walls of the cavity (2). If the cavity is located at a high point, close to the mouth of the container, contact is only ensured when pouring. For this reason it is preferable that the cavity (2) affects the lower part of the body (1), although it may be higher (as in figure 1).
El envase puede ser una lata de bebidas, una botella, un vaso... o cualquier otro tipo de recipiente, preferiblemente para bebidas. Las masas (3) pueden ser intercambiables, de forma que el usuario puede colocar una masa (3) nueva si lleva mucho tiempo con su producto, y guardar varias masas (3) en su nevera en previsión del cuando sean necesarias con uno u otro envase o producto. The container can be a beverage can, a bottle, a glass... or any other type of container, preferably for beverages. The masses (3) can be interchangeable, so that the user can place a new mass (3) if he has been using his product for a long time, and store several masses (3) in his fridge in anticipation of when they are needed with one or the other. container or product.
