Definitions
- the present application for an Invention Patent is applicable in the technical field of packaging. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cardboard device for grouping and transporting a set of beverage cans forming a package that allows a consumer to lift and manipulate a plurality of them.
- Cylindrical cans are used in the beverage industry to contain beverages, soft drinks, beers or the like, and to transport a plurality of cans, package sets are provided, which can comprise from two cans to 24 in mass transit cases. But for handling at the consumer level at a point of sale different types of means have been provided heretofore for grouping the cans into packs normally of 4 or 6 packs, to allow a consumer to lift and handle them as a whole. In the prior art it is possible to see that many of the developed media are made of plastic materials, which are used as package assembly means, for example in the form of a plastic film wrap that is extended around the packaged cans.
- plastic devices can end up as litter scattered in places where animals are found, for example, birds, fish and aquatic rodents. Many of them can get caught in these rings, and unfortunately once caught, they can be damaged resulting in death. Similarly, fish and aquatic animals can get caught in the rings and often cannot get loose, the result of being caught in a restraint ring is often death.
- An improvement of the product just mentioned is a type of holder for cans packed with a cardboard device that wraps only a minor upper portion of the cans, such as the device described in the British patent GB 1604840 of Michael Fred Joyce, where they have been provided vertically down folded flaps which, through a perforated straight slot, hold the bottom of the can lid, that is, abut against the edge of the lid on diametrically opposite sides of the can.
- the problem with this type of device is that they have several folded portions that take a lot of time and steps for their assembly, in addition to being functionally unsatisfactory, since the way in which the user must lift or take the set does not ensure that the pieces are unfold, structure is lost and containers come loose.
- Some devices that have sought to solve the problem of advertising support have incorporated additional pieces that partially cover the sides of the set of cans or have central plates that act as handles and as a graphic support, such as several of the modalities that are described in the Fishbone Packaging North American application US2018362234A1.
- the device just mentioned like other solutions made of cardboard that are very simple formed from a single sheet, such as those described in documents ES 1208411 of Alzamora Cartón or EP0595602A1 of Mead Corp. have the problem that if Although they occupy a single sheet, they lack means that cover the upper face of the cans to protect them from the dirt that normally accumulates on their lids, they lack a suitable surface to display advertising and, most importantly, they are flat plates that protrude towards the sides of the walls of the cans, defining a wider margin that prevents a tight storage of the packages of cans next to each other, where normally this closeness ends up causing said protruding edges to flatten or bend between the same packages .
- the second aforementioned document which comprises a plurality of biconvex figures that remain on the upper face of the cans, all of them in a raised plane with respect to the base plane of the device, so it does not allow advertising that can be placed either. perceive coherent as it would be on a continuous surface; furthermore, in the latter case, the cover fins are attached to the base through a deployment mechanism formed by several opposite cuts, which is complex to produce.
- the present invention relates generally to a carrier device for transporting a plurality of beverage cans gathered in a package as a single unit, where one of its main objectives is that it be environmentally safe.
- Another main objective of the invention is to provide a carrier device that allows a strong hold with the use of little material, devoid of side walls that cover the body of the cans or portions of material that protrude laterally from the perimeter formed by the group of cans, so that they facilitate the storage and display of the packages at the points of sale without the risk of damaging each other when colliding or rubbing against each other.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide a can-holder device that, even though it is formed with little material, provides an upper surface that protects the upper face of the cans, preventing them from accumulating dirt.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a can holder device that provides a continuous central area available for advertising printing.
- the present invention provides a carrier device for grouping and transporting a set of beverage cans forming a package, where the cans are of the type formed by a cylindrical body with a frusto-conical upper portion that has an upper raised ring under which is defines a neck of smaller diameter than said upper ring.
- the carrier device is made of a single piece in the form of a laminar plate made of semi-rigid material, such as for example a sheet with a grammage between 250 and 600 grams per square millimeter; being of greater importance that this material is 100% degradable and recyclable cellulosic, favoring that it dissolves quickly and is not a danger element for fauna.
- the device essentially comprises a substantially horizontal upper central area which is arranged at a level above the upper face of the cans; Some fastening flanges surround and adapt to the truncated conical shape of the cans, they are mantled with ascending proximal ends that end in a point with the lower side inclined; some openings for receiving cans that have a series of radial cuts that form two types of retention fins, where each receiving opening comprises a perimeter contour that is generated by a cut line with a polygonal-elliptical path that in turn generates a cover flap that remains attached and coplanar to the central area of the device; and radial transition portions extending in a downward slant as a continuation of the upper central area and laterally butting with the slanted proximal ends of the flanges.
- the device has a contour that is inscribed in a quadrilateral shape, being able to be rectangular, rhomboid or similar shapes, preferably being square in shape, which is provided with openings for receiving cans whose contour has a series of radial cuts that form fins. retainers that fit under the raised ring of the can when the device is mounted in the plurality of containers to form a package.
- the laminar plate comprises a contour preferably formed by four parallel sides two by two, with recessed vertices in a rounded, beveled shape or a combination thereof.
- the laminar plate exhibits an upper face, a lower face and the outline formed by four parallel sides two by two, so that said laminar plate can be divided virtually into quadrants or more portions based on a longitudinal central axis, a central axis transversal and 45 ° diagonal axes that intersect at a central point of the laminar plate.
- said four sides of the laminar body are provided with at least one recess arranged between the flanges, this recess being able to be triangular, trapezoidal, curved concave or a combination of them, preferably being of a triangular shape with a rounded bottom.
- the receptacle openings of the cans may preferably be in an even number, of two, four, six or more, being preferably four units. They have a polygonal-elliptical contour that has a larger diameter arranged along the opening and at least one smaller diameter arranged across the width of the opening, where said openings are oriented diagonally in the device, their larger diameter coincides with a diagonal axis at 45 ° with respect to the longitudinal and transverse central axis, and where the openings are arranged to each other equidistant and symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal central axis and the transverse central axis.
- the outline of the receiving openings is polygonal-elliptical and has a series of radial cuts that form retaining fins that fit under the raised ring of the can and extend to the top of the flange mantle. integrally with them, that is, the retaining flaps lack folds or lines transverse to radial cuts that intentionally cause the flaps to lean in a plane other than the flange mantle.
- the device comprises a continuous substantially horizontal central area that is arranged at a level above the upper plane of the cans, from which the clamping flanges that adapt and surround the frusto-conical shape of the cans extend radially, their mantle comprises ascending proximal ends, where said flanges are attached to the upper central area of the device through the radial transition portions.
- the flanges conform tightly to the upper frustoconical portion of the cans, while the contour of the elliptical opening fits under the raised ring of said can all the way around the perimeter, except where the flaps originate.
- the carrier device has transition portions that extend continuously downwardly inclined from said horizontal central area of the device to progressively laterally butt with the proximal ends of the flanges, where the transition portions comprise the transition portions have lateral edges.
- Each one of said receiving openings are generated by a polygonal-elliptical cut line that is interrupted in a portion adjacent to the central area of the sheet, generating a covering flap of a polygonal-elliptical shape that remains attached to the sheet through said interrupted portion of the cutting line, allowing the flaps to rest on the upper faces of the cans and acquire a coplanar position with said upper central area of the device.
- the cover flaps protect the upper face of the cans to prevent them from getting dirty, while being coplanar with the upper central area of the laminar body, together with it, they form a larger continuous upper portion available as a support for printing graphic information.
- said device jointly allows protection against dirt and the provision of a significant continuous area for advertising without having to add another topsheet or portions of the sheet surrounding the sides of the cans.
- a central hole suitable to serve as a handle where the user inserts a finger and lifts the package of cans gathered by the device.
- Said hole is formed by an incomplete circular cut with one or more bridges joining the cut-out portion with the edge of the hole, so that initially said hole remains covered forming part of the continuous upper surface where advertising is arranged, and only in the moment in which the user takes the package of cans, said cut-out portion is detached and plunges into the device.
- the receiving openings comprise a series of radial cuts that form two types of retention flaps that allow the portion of the receiving opening flanked by the flange to be fitted under the raised ring of the can, while the portion diagonally opposite the cuts radial lines is at the level of the upper horizontal central area of the device.
- the two types of retention flaps are made up of a plurality of pairs of radial cuts, symmetrical and spaced from each other, each formed by a distal straight portion with an end coincident with the polygonal-elliptical contour of the opening, and a proximal curved end portion, where the curved ends of both radial cuts face each other.
- the two radial cuts of each pair are distanced from each other by a distance that is less than the separation distance between each of the pairs of cuts, while the distance between the two cuts of each pair make up an auxiliary clamping flange that corresponds to one of the types of fastening flaps; in turn, the separation distance between the auxiliary flanges make up trapezoidal fastening fins that correspond to the second type of fins mentioned above.
- the auxiliary flanges have a point of union with the flange given by the separation between the opposite curved ends, however in their entire radial extension they remain cut, generating a kind of notch between the trapezoidal fins, where said notches allow the inner edge of the the opening is better adapted to the frusto-conical portion of the cans when the flange acquires the same frusto-conical shape, so said notches compensate for variations in the perimeter of the openings.
- the radial height of the radial cuts is preferably equivalent to half the width of the flange, so that that of the flange is capable of adapting in its transformation, allowing controlled deformations in the form of folds that occur at the top of the mantle.
- each of the receiving openings allows the beverage cans to be arranged snugly against each other, without a gap that can cause play and damage the parts of the device causing the cans to loosen and fall.
- the polygonal-elliptical shape of the openings generates a plurality of straight sections that become the distal edge of the trapezoidal fins and auxiliary flanges, said distal edge being the one that fits below the raised ring of the cans.
- Said straight shape of the edges ensures that the contact area between said edge and the can ring occurs in the central area of said edges, increasing the resistance to compression of each fin, since if the cut line that generates the The openings had a strictly curved path, said distal edge of the fins and flanges would tend to be curved concave, which would cause the contact zone with the ring to occur at its ends, which, being pointed, would have less resistance and could be deformed by compression.
- the elliptical shape that the cover flaps also have allows to compensate the displacement that they suffer when they are mounted on the ring of the cans, so that the greater diameter of the flaps is in turn greater than the diameter of the circular upper face of the cans, so that when the flap moves towards the central area of the device, part of its contour remains above the upper edge of the can and the rest remains inside the edge of the can ring, adapting to its circular shape without leaving significant uncovered spaces.
- auxiliary flange remains attached to the receiving opening after allowing the perimeter adjustment of the flange when it acquires a truncated conical shape, allows it to cooperate in increasing the perimeter contact surface under the ring of the cans, preventing it from occurring. exclusively on the trapezoidal fins, increasing the resistance of the device.
- the device is capable of providing a large continuous upper surface for displaying advertising, which is formed by the horizontal central area that extends coplanarly towards the cover flaps, the manipulation of the device is facilitated in a assembly line, since that area, which is a continuous wide surface, serves as an area for gripping or suctioning the templates by an assembly machine.
- This configuration allows that once the device has been installed in the group of cans and the user inserts the finger through the central hole, a radial tension is generated from the central point, which tensions the transition portions equally, and since the flanges are born in a progressive way they cause the transition portions to pull the flanges in a combined scheme of forces that go in an upward inclined direction towards the center, causing the different retaining fins to fit even more under the ring of the cans, especially in the first fins close to the origin of the flanges, where the greatest compression occurs, while in the rest of the flange there is rather a traction that increases a hugging effect around the truncated conical portion of cans.
- the invention also includes the template for shaping the carrier device, which has a contour with four parallel perimeter sides two by two, each with at least one recess centered in its middle area and beveled vertices; a central area from which arc-shaped portions extend radially whose bases point towards said central area and where each of them surrounds corresponding openings of polygonal-elliptical contour that are partially covered by a flap also polygonal-elliptical.
- said contour of the openings comprises a series of radial cuts extending into the arc-shaped portions, which are grouped in pairs that make up two different types of retaining fins; while interspersed between the arches are radial areas of transition of concave flanks that extend from said central area towards each of the middle areas of each of the four perimeter sides of the laminar plate.
- the central area comprises at least one incomplete circular cut that demarcates a collapsible circular piece that goes inwards when the user inserts the finger and takes the package of cans; whereas said openings and said flaps are generated by a cutting line with an elliptical path, preferably polygonal, which has an interrupted section located adjacent to the central area through which the cover flaps are attached to the laminar plate.
- the cuts that form the retention flaps are each formed by a straight distal portion with one end coinciding with the perimeter contour of the opening, and an opposite proximal portion with a curved end, where the curved ends of both cuts of each pair of radial cuts are facing each other.
- the two radial cuts of each pair of cuts are distanced from each other by a distance less than the separation distance between each of the pairs of cuts and because the distance between the two cuts of each pair make up an auxiliary clamping flange.
- the separation distance between the auxiliary flanges forms trapezoidal fastening fins interspersed with said auxiliary flanges and where the radial height possessed by the radial cuts is preferably equivalent to half the width of the arc-shaped portions.
- pairs of radial cuts are distributed in an outer portion of said arc-shaped portions that is equivalent to approximately three-quarters of the length of the major diameter of said polygonal-elliptical openings.
- the polygonal-elliptical contour openings and the arc-shaped portions that surround them are at least two for each template to carry two cans; preferably, there are four for each template, and alternatively it is also possible to form templates with a capacity for six cans.
- These templates can be manually mounted on the cans, as well as they can be part of a semi-automated or fully automated assembly system, for which it has notches in some areas of its contour, where these notches allow fixing. from the position of the template in a machine that then rests on the aligned cans; preferably, these notches are arranged in the centered recesses that appear in the contour of the template and also in the beveled corners.
- the templates can be part of an arrangement of several templates together to facilitate and optimize their installation, thus in the case of templates for four cans, these can be arranged in an arrangement of three aligned templates to carry twelve cans arranged in two rows of six cans each; alternatively, the four-can stencil array may be arranged in an array of six stencils aligned in two rows of three stencils each, encompassing a set of 24 cans.
- templates to be installed simultaneously on a group of six, twelve or twenty-four cans thus, for the case of twelve cans, the templates are aligned along , joined by their adjacent smaller side, for which six cans each are installed on two rows; while for its installation on a group of twenty-four cans, the templates are four and are joined by their matching minor sides and major sides, which are placed on a group of cans arranged in four rows of six cans.
- the set of templates arranged in arrangements facilitates the manipulation of the set and its simultaneous installation on a greater number of cans, where the templates are joined together by weakened joining points, such that when the machine operates on the set of cans, each one of the templates is separated from its adjacent one and it is possible to assemble the individual package of two, four, six or more cans.
- the pressure of the machine causes the deformation of the template, which is originally flat, on the upper faces of the cans, causing the arc-shaped portions to fold downwards acquiring a truncated conical shape surrounding the conical portion of the cans, thus so that the reception openings, being elliptical, acquire an inclination in the sense radial making the edge of the opening that coincides with the origin of the flaps, is over the edge in the form of a highlighted ring of the cans, while as it is tilted it fits under said ring of the can where it is retained through the fin assembly.
- the insole is made of a single sheet piece of 100% biodegradable and recyclable cellulosic material, preferably it is a sheet with a grammage between 250 to 600 grams per square millimeter.
