ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
El polipropileno, habitualmente referido por sus siglas PP, es un polímero termoplástico parcialmente cristalino, utilizado en una amplia variedad de aplicaciones en embalaje alimentario, destacando entre sus características su versatilidad de uso, ligereza, adecuada capacidad aislante frente a la humedad, y sus buenas propiedades organolépticas, químicas y de resistencia térmica. Se puede utilizar entre un amplio rango de temperaturas (entre -2GeC y 120eC) por lo que resulta recomendable para el envasado de alimentos calientes y para su uso en el microondas. Polypropylene, usually referred to by its acronym PP, is a partially crystalline thermoplastic polymer, used in a wide variety of applications in food packaging, highlighting among its characteristics its versatility of use, lightness, adequate insulating capacity against moisture, and its good Organoleptic, chemical and thermal resistance properties. It can be used between a wide range of temperatures (between -2G e C and 120 e C) so it is recommended for hot food packaging and for use in the microwave.
Por otro lado, la tecnología de etiquetado en molde, también referida como tecnología IML por sus siglas en inglés, consiste en la creación de envases de diferentes geometrías a partir de una etiqueta de polipropileno previamente impresa, la cual se coloca en un molde con la geometría deseada. A continuación, se inyecta polipropileno en estado líquido a dicho conjunto de molde + etiqueta, de forma que se fusiona con ella y toma la forma del dicho molde, la cual se mantiene durante el proceso de curado del PP, obteniendo un contenedor en el que la etiqueta y el envase quedan permanentemente vinculados. On the other hand, mold labeling technology, also referred to as IML technology, consists of the creation of containers of different geometries from a previously printed polypropylene label, which is placed in a mold with the desired geometry. Then, polypropylene is injected in liquid state to said mold + label assembly, so that it merges with it and takes the form of said mold, which is maintained during the PP curing process, obtaining a container in which the label and the packaging are permanently linked.
Las principales ventajas que presenta la tecnología IML estriban en que se obtienen envases con etiquetas integradas en su cuerpo que presentan una elevada calidad y resolución de imágenes impresas, así como resisten la humedad y las temperaturas extremas sin deteriorarse. The main advantages of IML technology are that you get packages with labels integrated in your body that have high quality and resolution of printed images, as well as resist moisture and extreme temperatures without deteriorating.
También cabe destacar que el procedimiento de moldeo de ios envases es rápido y
económico, así como que el envase obtenido es totalmente reciclable. Por último, se pueden obtener una gran variedad de acabados y aspectos externos, así como una pluralidad de geometrías siendo únicamente necesario cambiar el molde empleado para la inyección de PP en estado líquido. It should also be noted that the molding process of the containers is fast and economic, as well as that the container obtained is fully recyclable. Finally, a wide variety of finishes and external aspects can be obtained, as well as a plurality of geometries, being only necessary to change the mold used for the injection of PP in liquid state.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El objeto de la invención consiste en un contendor destinado a ser recipiente de objetos tales como envases de bebidas, estando dicho contenedor conformado a partir de una cuerpo laminar de geometría esencialmente envolvente, preferentemente curvada, destinada a plegarse para conformar una pared lateral cerrada del contenedor, y unas respectivas tapas destinadas a acopiarse a dicha pared lateral curvada para conformar un cierre superior y un cierre inferior del contenedor. El cuerpo laminar está materializado preferentemente en polipropileno, si bien el contenedor puede ser fabricado cualquier otro polímero susceptible de ser utilizado en procesos de inyección, y se conforma preferentemente mediante inyección de polímero líquido sobre un molde empleando la tecnología IML. La geometría propia de dicho molde permite otorgar una pluralidad de geometrías al cuerpo laminar, las cuales pueden ser tanto la ya mencionada de perfil curvo como perfiles poligonales. The object of the invention consists of a container intended to be a container for objects such as beverage containers, said container being formed from a laminar body of essentially enveloping geometry, preferably curved, intended to be folded to form a closed side wall of the container , and respective covers intended to be fitted to said curved side wall to form an upper closure and a lower closure of the container. The laminar body is preferably made of polypropylene, although the container can be manufactured by any other polymer that can be used in injection processes, and is preferably formed by injecting liquid polymer onto a mold using IML technology. The own geometry of said mold allows to grant a plurality of geometries to the laminar body, which can be both the aforementioned curved profile and polygonal profiles.
En una primera realización preferente, el cuerpo laminar comprende al menos dos sectores unidos entre sí mediante una bisagra o articulación que facilita el abatimiento de un primer sector respecto del segundo sector para así cerrar el cuerpo laminar en la conformación del contenedor, la cual se realiza de manera rápida y sencilla. El cuerpo laminar incorpora además medios de unión complementarios definidos en dos de sus bordes longitudinales opuestos, para mantenerlo plegado sobre sí mismo. In a first preferred embodiment, the laminar body comprises at least two sectors joined together by a hinge or joint that facilitates the folding of a first sector with respect to the second sector in order to close the laminar body in the conformation of the container, which is made quickly and easily. The laminar body also incorporates complementary joining means defined in two of its opposite longitudinal edges, to keep it folded over itself.
En una segunda realización preferente, el cuerpo laminar comprende los medios de unión en dos bordes longitudinales opuestos descritos anteriormente, pero carece de articulación, de forma que para conformar una pared lateral cerrada del contenedor es necesario vincular entre sí dos cuerpos laminares. La principal ventaja de esta realización consiste en el ahorro de espacio para el almacenamiento y transporte de ios elementos del contenedor en una fase previa a su montaje.
Tanto en la primera como en la segunda realizaciones del contenedor, se contempla ia introducción de unos medios de unión complementarios, destinados a vincularse a los bordes longitudinales del cuerpo laminar para asegurar su cierre. Preferentemente, dichos medios de unión son un perfil en U, materializado en plástico ABS, estando dicho perfil dotado de unas alas laterales que se prolongan enfrentadas desde sus extremos para acoplarse en unos rebajes definidos en los bordes longitudinales del cuerpo laminar. In a second preferred embodiment, the sheet body comprises the joining means on two opposite longitudinal edges described above, but lacks articulation, so that to form a closed side wall of the container it is necessary to link two sheet bodies together. The main advantage of this embodiment is the saving of space for the storage and transport of the elements of the container at a stage prior to its assembly. In both the first and second embodiments of the container, the introduction of complementary joining means is contemplated, intended to be linked to the longitudinal edges of the laminar body to ensure its closure. Preferably, said joining means is a U-profile, materialized in ABS plastic, said profile being provided with lateral wings that extend facing from its ends to engage in defined recesses in the longitudinal edges of the laminar body.
Se prevé asimismo la incorporación a al menos una de las caras del cuerpo laminar de un recubrimiento de material adherente para mejorar el agarre, lo cual puede realizarse en la misma operación de moldeo del cuerpo laminar. Asimismo se contempla ia incorporación de al menos un troquelado pasante definido en dicho cuerpo laminar, con objeto de permitir la visuaiización del contenido alojado en el inferior del contenedor, En una realización alternativa, el contenedor presenta una tapa superior extraíble conformada por un cuerpo anular acopiabie ai cuerpo laminar, cuerpo anular ai que se vincula temporalmente un cierre, preferentemente por acoplamiento a presión de unas protuberancias en el interior de unos alojamientos. El cierre presenta asimismo unas cavidades destinadas a alojar ios dedos de un usuario para facilitar el acoplamiento y desacoplamiento manual del cierre en el cuerpo anular. The incorporation of at least one of the faces of the sheet body of a coating of adherent material to improve the grip is also provided, which can be performed in the same molding operation of the sheet body. It is also contemplated the incorporation of at least one through-cut die cut in said laminar body, in order to allow the visualization of the content housed in the lower part of the container. ai laminar body, annular body to which a closure is temporarily linked, preferably by pressure coupling of protuberances inside some housings. The closure also has cavities intended to accommodate the fingers of a user to facilitate the coupling and manual decoupling of the closure in the annular body.
Se contempla asimismo la incorporación de un asa flexible, preferentemente acopiabie en unos alojamientos definidos a tal efecto al cuerpo anular de la tapa superior. De esta manera cuando el contenedor se encuentra abierto, en una fase previa a su conformación, ocupa un reducido espacio debido a que presenta la posibilidad de apilamiento de una forma similar a las tejas de construcción, lo cual reduce ios costes de almacenamiento y transporte. Asimismo, puesto que todos los elementos del contenedor se fabrican en un único proceso de inyección, se reducen costes de fabricación It is also contemplated the incorporation of a flexible handle, preferably in a housing defined for this purpose in the annular body of the upper cover. In this way, when the container is open, in a phase prior to its conformation, it occupies a small space because it presents the possibility of stacking in a manner similar to the construction tiles, which reduces storage and transport costs. Also, since all the elements of the container are manufactured in a single injection process, manufacturing costs are reduced
