Ventajosamente, el elemento protector presenta un reborde hermético circunferencial que evita el derrame de bebida cuando el envase ha estado previamente abierto asi como la pérdida de gas en el caso de bebidas gaseosas. Según otro aspecto de la invención, el elemento protector está unido a un soporte anular inferior que se fija en el envase. Preferentemente, el elemento protector y el soporte anular inferior están unidos entre sí por medio de una porción abisagrada.Advantageously, the protective element has a circumferential hermetic flange that prevents spillage of the beverage when the container has been previously opened as well as the loss of gas in the case of soft drinks. According to another aspect of the invention, the protective element is attached to a lower annular support that is fixed in the package. Preferably, the protective element and the lower annular support are connected to each other by means of a hinged portion.
Con referencia al elemento protector puede estar hecho de un material plástico moldeable por inyección de bajo coste productivo .With reference to the protective element, it can be made of an injection moldable plastic material of low productive cost.
Gracias a estas características, se obtiene un dispositivo que permite un apilamiento adecuado para envases de tipo lata, disponiendo además de un elemento protector hermético de una forma sencilla de fabricar y utilizar para el usuario y con un bajo coste de fabricación, manteniendo además unas condiciones higiénicas para su posterior utilización. Además, este dispositivo permite al usuario beber en diferentes ocasiones de modo que puede mantener hermético el contenido interior respecto al medio exterior.Thanks to these characteristics, a device is obtained that allows a suitable stacking for can-type containers, also having a hermetic protective element in a simple way to manufacture and use for the user and with a low manufacturing cost, while also maintaining conditions hygienic for later use. In addition, this device allows the user to drink on different occasions so that it can keep the inner contents airtight with respect to the outside environment.
Otras características y ventajas del protector para envases objeto de la presente invención resultarán evidentes a partir de la descripción de una realización preferida, pero no exclusiva, que se ilustra a modo de ejemplo no limitativo en los dibujos que se acompañan, en los cuales:Other features and advantages of the packaging protector object of the present invention will be apparent from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment, which is illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, in which:

DESCRIPCIÓN DE UNA REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTEDESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Tal como se muestra en las figuras, un protector para envases, en especial para envases de tipo lata con una forma sensiblemente cilindrica, comprende un elemento protector referenciado de forma general con 1, el cual está hecho de material plástico moldeable por inyección, y presenta una planta circunferencial que cubre la parte superior del envase 2. Dicho elemento protector 1 tiene una porción central la de perfil curvo- convexo y una segunda porción curvo-cóncava Ib dispuesta en la zona cercana a la región periférica del mismo. Esta configuración novedosa facilita el apilamiento de un envase de lata 2 uno encima de otro ya que la porción central la de perfil curvo-convexo puede ajustarse al contorno de la parte inferior 2a del envase de lata que suele estar provista de un rebaje central indicado en lineas discontinuas en la figura 4.As shown in the figures, a container protector, especially for can-type containers with a substantially cylindrical shape, comprises a protective element generally referenced with 1, which is made of injection moldable plastic material, and has a circumferential plant covering the upper part of the container 2. Said protective element 1 has a central portion of the curved-convex profile and a second curved-concave portion Ib disposed in the area near the peripheral region thereof. This novel configuration facilitates the stacking of a can container 2 one on top of the other since the central portion of the curved-convex profile can be adjusted to the contour of the lower part 2a of the can container which is usually provided with a central recess indicated in dashed lines in figure 4.
El elemento protector 1 está unido a un soporte anular inferior 3 que se fija en el envase 2, los cuales están unidos entre si por medio de una porción abisagrada 4 (representada de forma esquematizada en la figura 3) que está solidaria a ambas partes correspondientes al elemento protector 1 y al soporte anular 3. Dicha unión puede obtenerse mediante el diseño del molde para las partes que forman parte del protector.The protective element 1 is attached to a lower annular support 3 that is fixed in the container 2, which are connected to each other by means of a hinged portion 4 (schematically represented in Figure 3) that is integral with both corresponding parts to the protective element 1 and the support annular 3. Said joint can be obtained by designing the mold for the parts that are part of the protector.
Sobre la superficie del elemento protector 1 puede proporcionarse publicidad impresa de forma personalizada de manera que además de la función higiénica del protector, el objeto de la invención puede ser un soporte publicitario de modo que puede colocarse publicidad serigrafiada con la marca de la empresa suministradora u ofertas de promoción.Personalized printed advertising can be provided on the surface of the protective element 1 so that in addition to the hygienic function of the protector, the object of the invention can be an advertising medium so that screen printed advertising can be placed with the brand of the supplying company or promotional offers.
En una segunda realización de la invención no representada, cabe la posibilidad de que el soporte anular 3 del protector sea omitido y el cierre del mismo se lleva a cabo mediante un encaje a presión de tal forma que el reborde del protector encaje con el reborde exterior de la parte superior del envase de lata.In a second embodiment of the invention not shown, it is possible that the annular support 3 of the protector is omitted and the closure thereof is carried out by means of a snap fit so that the flange of the protector fits the outer flange from the top of the can container.
Los detalles, las formas, las dimensiones y demás elementos accesorios, asi como los materiales empleados en la fabricación de un protector para envases de la invención podrán ser convenientemente sustituidos por otros que sean técnicamente equivalentes y no se aparten de la esencialidad de la invención ni del ámbito definido por las reivindicaciones que se incluyen a continuación. The details, shapes, dimensions and other accessory elements, as well as the materials used in the manufacture of a container protector of the invention may be conveniently substituted by others that are technically equivalent and do not depart from the essentiality of the invention or of the scope defined by the claims included below.
