Definitions

• This invention concerns a closing lid for metallic, plastic, and glass containers, preferably, for conditioning products with or without vacuum treatment. More specifically, it comprehends a closing lid consisting of a one-piece body with a circular central region and a ring disposed descendingly from the perimeter of the said circular central region aggregating the functions of closure, sealing, and violability indication, thus eliminating the need to use aluminum seals or the like, and ensuring the re-use of the lid after opening.
• the packaging has always been of fundamental importance for trade development. At first, it existed to contain, protect and make the transportation viable.
• new functions are incorporated and new roles are played: conserving, exposing, selling the product, and winning over consumers by means of visual communication are part of this new profile.
• the metal packaging has evolved together with the modern world and is present in diverse segments of the industry of consumer products, advancing significantly the quality of the product, systems of opening and closing, new possibilities of printing in different colors and application of images, reduction in the thickness of the steel sheet, and fulfillment of projects that provide the packaging with greater resistance and easiness for storing due to its present formats.
• the tendency is to improve the closure of the packaging and to avoid the use of knives, scissors, and other objects to open the product, thus diminishing the risk of consumers' injuring themselves while handling the packaging.
• the manufacturers have been using practical and safe systems in order to add one more quality to their product.
• the state of the technique describes several closing lids applied to cans which have been continuously undergoing big constructive alterations in order to better meet the user's needs, and to provide conservation and adequate sealing of the contents of the packaging.
• the conventional type closing lids of cans were of metal and opened by using a can opener, thus eliminating the possibility of re-using the container and generating points of rust harmful to the conditioning of foodstuffs.
• the lids of the penny lever type had an aluminum seal fitted with rims that were juxtaposed with the can ring.
• the removal of the seal sometimes caused fragments of aluminum to fall down on the product placed inside the can.
• the rim of the said seal made difficult the removal of the product and generated the accumulation of residues.
• the lids of the peel-off type also had an aluminum seal fitted with a tab, thus eliminating the use of cutting tools and the consequent dispersion of aluminum fragments on the product placed inside the can.
• the ring disposed on the internal part of the can still retained residues.
• the new packaging allows the product to be placed inside through the upper opening of the can, thus eliminating the re- thrusting operation that occurs in the conventional process.
• the metallic rims of the body of the can, lid and the bottom are re-curved and compacted together forming a fold or hermetic junction between the body and the lid, and the body and the bottom.
• the addition certificate C0401239-9 describes a metal central lid wrapped by a plastic ring fitted with reentrance where there are a series of protrusions that compose a circular set of locks containing the reduction of the section, the said metal central lid that contains a cavity to receive an elastic sealer.
• the invention patent BR4499/74 describes a lid that comprehends a metal disk-shaped cover enclosed in an external plastic ring that has a casing and an upper circular part.
• the spaced small protrusions are laid out and directed towards the inside of the casing of the lid with an indicating strip which may be disconnected totally or in part.
• the application for the invention patent BR0403345 describes a lid that comprises a metal panel fitted with a peripheral rim, the said metal panel having a diameter adjusted to the mouth of the flask; and a plastic ring that has a circumferential groove on the internal surface projected to seat a circumferential rim of the metal panel, with a number of protrusions that configure the locking teeth, the said ring being fitted with a protrusion on the external rim bordered by weakening lines.
• the patent FR2782700 describes a lid for a container where the neck has a peripheral strip consisting of a ring and a disk.
• the ring includes an elastic closing rim located below the strip of the neck, the upper rims arranged on the upper plane of the strip projected to be pressed at the extremity of the neck.
• the disk that rests on the rim of the neck is maintained between the upper rims and the retention reinforcements.
• the patent US20030141271 describes a closing lid that includes a ring and a disc.
• a contact surface propels descendingly towards the disc even when the ring moves longitudinally with relation to the disc or to the container.
• a protruding protection which is pressed ascendingly towards the disc during the opening process, defines the opening in which the undulation of the disc is disposed.
• the technical literature presents closing lids fitted with the two independent structures - a metal or plastic disc, and a ring that contours the said disc, with the ring presenting the structures of retaining and fixing the lid on the extreme pouring opening of a container.
• This invention concerns a closing lid for metal, plastic and glass containers, preferably, for conditioning foodstuffs with or without vacuum treatment.
• the characteristic of the invention is a closing lid that presents a one-piece body that includes a circular central region, and a ring disposed descendingly from the perimeter of the said circular central region aggregating the functions of closure, sealing, and indicating whether the container was violated.
• the characteristic of the invention is a closing lid that eliminates the need for application of an aluminum seal for sealing and perfect closing of the Hd.
• the characteristic of the invention is a closing lid that allows multiple closings and continuous sealing, and the re-use of the container for other purposes.
• the characteristic of the invention is a closing lid that ensures the inviolability and indicates that a container was violated when agents were inserted.
• the characteristic of the invention is a closing lid that provides the conservation of the characteristics of the foodstuffs conditioned during the period of consumption.
• the Figure 1 shows the first modality of the closing lid, the figure 1 A being seen in detailed section of the closing lid, the figure 1B detailing the segmented rims disposed on the dosing lid, the figure 1C representing the closing Hd disposed on the extreme pouring opening of a container, and the figure 1 D representing the lid's closing sequence.
• the figure 2 presents the second modality of the closing lid, the figure 2A seen in detailed section of the closing lid, the figure 2B detailing the segmented rims disposed on the closing lid, the figure 2C representing the closing lid disposed on the extreme pouring opening of a container, and the figure 2D - the view from above of the closing lid fitted with a ring.
