Abstract

The aseptic protective system against germs and dirt for bottles and cans or cans of drinks and soft drinks, consists of applying a protective cover to the end or mouth of bottles, cans or cans of drinks and soft drinks including water, whose protective elements consist of some sheets or films, covers, caps, lids. caps or bands of biodegradable plastic materials, protectors from contamination due to germs and dirt. Caps or plugs can be snapped on, but generally have tear strips or bands. they separate and free the ends of the mouths of the bottles or cans. Sleeves can also be used whose peripheral edge adheres to the bottle or can thermally melting it by applying heat. The caps or lids can be fixed by means of a light layer of adhesive, or by means of fixing and breaking. These plugs or lids can have skirts, optionally adhesive.

Description

DESCRIPTION

Aseptic protective system against germs and dirt for bottles and cans or cans of drinks and soft drinks

Field of the invention

In the transport, storage and dispensing of bottles and cans or cans of drinks, water and soft drinks.

State of the art

Bottles, cans or cans of drinks, water and soft drinks, beer, etc. Although after their manufacture they are protected from germs and dirt, later, during their transport and especially once distributed in the places of storage and dispensing they are not sufficiently protected and are contaminated by dirt, bacteria, fungi and microorganisms. With the present system this problem is solved, since the protection continues up to the point of consumption.

Description of the invention

Object of the invention and advantages

Apply a cover to the ends, mouths or necks of bottles, cans or beverage cans in a simple and economical way.

Eliminate or reduce the use of non-biodegradable plastic or thermoplastic material, and cellulose, favoring the environment.

Protect the ends, mouths or necks of bottles, cans or beverage cans from dirt, bacteria, fungi or microorganisms.

Use as protective elements some films, bands, covers, lids, covers or caps made of biodegradable plastic materials.

This system could be mandatory, if there is nothing better.

Problem to solve

The area where the lips are applied to the bottles or jars for the consumption of beverages, soft drinks, water, etc., as it is not protected, is usually exposed during storage and transport to all kinds of germs and dirt. This occurs especially in the last stage of distribution, for which it is necessary to carry out protection at the place of manufacture to prevent them from reaching the consumer contaminated.

The aseptic protective system against germs and dirt for bottles and cans or cans of beverages and soft drinks of the invention, consists of applying a protective cover to the end or mouth of the bottles, cans or cans of drinks and soft drinks including water, whose protective elements They consist of sheets or films, covers, caps, lids, plugs or bands of biodegradable plastic materials, protectors from contamination due to germs and dirt. Caps or plugs can be snapped on, but generally have strips or bands that tear, separate, and free the ends of the nozzles. bottles or jars. Sleeves can also be used whose peripheral edge adheres to the bottle or can thermally, melting it by applying heat.

The caps or lids can be fixed by means of a light layer of adhesive, or by means of fixing and breaking points. These caps or lids can have flaps, optionally adhesive, to expand the protection zone.

The cover may be applied to pairs of tongue-and-groove cans or cans, covering their joint with the protective tape or band with the tear or tear strip or tape, which can be replaced by a tear or weakening line.

Using biodegradable materials such as biodegradable plastics, especially based on starch, cornstarch and other vegetables that avoid the use of cellulose from trees, for their grouping, cleaning and protection. You can also use cellophane which is a natural polymer, but is obtained from cellulose. In other cases, a cover made of aluminum foil, tin or metallized biodegradable plastic can be used.

Currently there are bottles that have a metallic foil cover on the neck, which, although they meet the requirements of protection against dirt and germs, are not valid because they are not easily separated or removed.

The proposed covers are generally attached, but preferably can be loose except for the periphery thereof in contact with the bottle, can or can container. In said periphery it can have greater pressure on the container.

The protective elements are loose except in the periphery of the same in contact with the container, in said periphery it carries a greater pressure on the container.

The protective elements can be attached to the containers.

More detailed description of an embodiment

Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the invention, shows a bottle (1) with the end of the neck covered with the cap (2), which bears the line of weakness or tear (3) when pulling the tab (4 ).

Figure 2 shows a bottle (1) with the end of the neck covered with the cap (2), which carries the tear or tear strip or tape (5).

Figure 3 shows a bottle (1) with the end of the neck covered with the cap (2), whose edge (9) is thermally attached. Tear, tape or line of weakness and break, pulling a tab systems are not shown. The cap can be torn by tearing it with a sharp element on the hollow areas.

Figure 4 shows a bottle (1) with the end of the neck covered with the cap (6), which can be placed under pressure and has fixing points (8) of adhesive material on its periphery that tear and break when twist or pull the cap. Instead of the adhesive points, it can be fitted with flaps.

Figure 5 shows a can or can (1a) whose opening end carries the cover (2a), which carries the line of weakness or tear (3) when pulling the tab (4).

Figure 6 shows a can or can (1a) whose opening end carries the cover (2a), which carries the tear or tear strip or tape (5).

Figure 7 shows a can or can (fa) whose opening end carries the cover (2a), which uses the tear or tear strip or tape (5).

Figure 8 shows a bottle or can (1a) whose opening end carries the lid (7), which is placed under pressure and carries fixing points (8) of adhesive material on its periphery that tear and break when rotating or pull the lid. Instead of the fixing points, it can have flaps, which can be adhesive.

Figure 9 shows a can or can (1a) whose opening end carries the cover (2a), which carries the tear or tear strip or tape (5), next to its peripheral edge.

Figure 10 shows the two tongue and groove cans (1a). Cover its junction with the protective band (2b) and carry the tear or tear strip or tape (5). This can be replaced by a tear or weakness line as in Figure 5.
