Lata mejorada.Improved can
DESCRIPCIÓNDESCRIPTION
La lata objeto de esta patente es del tipo que comprende en su base superior un dispositivo de apertura determinado por una zona debilitada que por presión resulta abierta, cuya presión la proporciona una plaquita fijada sobre dicha base y que es accionada manualmente.The can object of this patent is of the type that comprises in its upper base an opening device determined by a weakened area that is opened by pressure, whose pressure is provided by a plate fixed on said base and which is manually operated.
La indicada plaquita está fijada en disposición yuxtapuesta sobre la base lo cual dificulta su asido con los dedos por parte del usuario ya que no queda espacio entre la plaquita y la cara superior de la base . Esta operación de asido debe llevarse a cabo prácticamente metiendo las uñas por debajo de los bordes laterales de la plaquita, por lo que las personas con las uñas muy apuradas deben recurrir a la utilización de un útil apropiado para introducirlo debajo de la plaquita y levantarla haciendo palanca ya que con las yemas de los dedos es muy difícil obtener dicho asido.The indicated insert is fixed in juxtaposed arrangement on the base which makes it difficult for the user to grasp the fingers since there is no space between the insert and the upper face of the base. This grabbing operation must be carried out practically by putting the nails below the lateral edges of the insert, so that people with very hurried nails should resort to the use of an appropriate tool to insert it under the insert and lift it by doing lever since with the fingertips it is very difficult to get said grip.
También las personas con las uñas largas , como es el caso de las mujeres, tienen problemas con estos medios de apertura ya que al intentar levantar la indicada plaquita se produce generalmente la rotura de las uñas .Also people with long nails, as is the case of women, have problems with these means of opening since trying to lift the indicated insert usually causes breakage of the nails.
Es objeto de invención mejorar este tipo de latas, destinadas a bebidas y a otros productos alimenticios, con el fin de que el usuario no tenga ninguna dificultad para llevar a cabo la apertura de la lata, obteniendo con esta mejora, además, una mayor consistencia en la base superior de la lata.It is an object of the invention to improve this type of cans, intended for beverages and other food products, so that the user does not have no difficulty in carrying out the opening of the can, obtaining with this improvement, in addition, greater consistency in the upper base of the can.
Estas mejoras son obtenidas al practicar en la base superior de la lata un rehundido en correspondencia con la zona donde se halla fijada la pla uita a accionar para conseguir la apertura de la lata, y más concretamente en correspondencia con la parte extrema de la plaquita que debe ser asida para tirar de ella hacia arriba.These improvements are obtained by practicing a recess in the upper base of the can in correspondence with the area where the plate to be operated is fixed to achieve the opening of the can, and more specifically in correspondence with the end of the insert that It must be held to pull it up.
Este rehundido se logra ventajosamente mediante una embutición que puede lograrse con la misma matriz que mediante prensado se fabrica dicha base superior de la lata . Este rehundido determina en la base superior de la lata una inflexión transversal mediante la que se mejora notablemente la consistencia de la misma.This recess is advantageously achieved by means of a drawing that can be achieved with the same matrix as by pressing said upper can base. This recessing determines a transverse inflection at the upper base of the can by which its consistency is markedly improved.
Para facilitar aún más la operación de apertura de la lata y proporcionar al usuario todavía una mayor comodidad para accionar la plaquita de accionamiento logrando la apertura de la lata además con menos esfuerzo, se proporciona a la plaquita de accionamiento, en la parte por la que debe ser asida, una inflexión primero descendente y luego ascendente hacia su borde extremo libre, la zona inflexionada de cuya plaquita se introduce en el rehundido de la base superior de la lata.To further facilitate the operation of opening the can and to provide the user with even greater comfort to operate the actuator insert by opening the can in addition with less effort, the actuator insert is provided, in the part where the inflected area of whose insert is inserted into the recess of the upper base of the can must be grasped, a first downward and then upward inflection towards its free end edge.
Esta inflexión determina en el borde extremo libre de la plaquita de accionamiento una superficie oblicua que permite asir y apoyar debajo de ella por ejemplo el dedo pulgar, determinando una mayor seguridad en la acción manual ascendente de empuje a dicho borde para abrir prácticamente sin esfuerzo la lata. Esta mejora además permite reducir la dimensión de la plaquita de accionamiento, principalmente en lo que se refiere a su longitud, lo cual representa una reducción en la materia prima que baja en algo el coste de su fabricación. Otra ventaja obtenida viene determinada por la estabilidad que se consigue en la disposición diametral correcta de la plaquita de accionamiento, asegurando así la presión adecuada de la misma en el punto previsto en la zona debilitada para iniciar la apertura de la lata.This inflection determines an oblique surface at the free end edge of the drive plate that allows it to be grasped and supported under it by For example, the thumb, determining greater safety in the upward manual action of pushing to said edge to open the can almost effortlessly. This improvement also allows reducing the size of the drive insert, mainly in regard to its length, which represents a reduction in the raw material that somewhat lowers the cost of its manufacture. Another advantage obtained is determined by the stability that is achieved in the correct diametral arrangement of the drive insert, thus ensuring adequate pressure thereof at the point provided in the weakened area to initiate the opening of the can.
Ventajosamente en el extremo libre de la plaquita de accionamiento se practica una curvatura transversal inferiormente cóncava en la que se adaptará perfectamente la yema del dedo en la acción de apertura, eliminando así que la acción manual deba hacerse contra una zona plana con un borde de poco espesor que puede molestar al actuar y efectuar presión contra él con el dedo.Advantageously, at the free end of the drive insert, a lower concave transverse curvature is practiced in which the fingertip will be perfectly adapted in the opening action, thus eliminating that the manual action should be done against a flat area with a small edge thickness that can disturb when acting and press against it with your finger.

Con el fin de obtener en la base superior de la lata un espacio suficiente para asir con comodidad el extremo correspondiente de la plaquita que debe accionarse, para obtener la apertura de la lata, se ha previsto en la lata -l1- (figuras 3 y 4) la práctica, en su base superior -4'-, de una embutición -6- en correspondencia con la parte extrema -2 'a- de la plaquita -2'- que debe ser asida.In order to obtain at the upper base of the can enough space to comfortably grasp the corresponding end of the insert that must be To actuate, to obtain the opening of the can, it is foreseen in the can -l 1 - (figures 3 and 4) the practice, in its upper base -4'-, of a drawing -6- in correspondence with the end part -2 'a- of the insert -2'- that must be grabbed.
Esta embutición -6- determina transversalmente en la base superior -4'- una inflexión -7- que constituye un nervio de refuerzo que mejora notablemente la consistencia de dicha base. En caso deseado se puede incluso ampliar el espacio proporcionado por la indicada embutición, preveyendo que el extremo de la parte -2 'a- de asido de la plaquita -2 ' - presente un ligero doblado hacia arriba -2'b- representado a trazos en la figura 4. Dada la poca variación en altura que presenta este ligero doblado de la plaquita -2 ' - no representa obstáculo alguno en el apilado de estas latas .This drawing -6- transversely determines in the upper base -4'- an inflection -7- that constitutes a reinforcement rib that significantly improves the consistency of said base. If desired, the space provided by the indicated drawing can even be extended, providing that the end of the part -2 'a- of the insert -2' - has a slight bent upwards -2'b- represented in strokes in figure 4. Given the little variation in height presented by this slight folding of the insert -2 '- it does not represent any obstacle in the stacking of these cans.
Se comprende que el espacio -E- (figura 4) creado debajo de la parte extrema -2 'a- de la plaquita -2 ' - permite asir cómodamente a ésta con las yemas de los dedos sin tener que utilizar las uñas y eliminando totalmente la necesidad de buscar y utilizar un útil, tal como un destornillador, para poder levantar dicha parte de la plaquita de apertura. De acuerdo con las figuras 5 y 6 en la plaquita de accionamiento -2'- se ha practicado, en la parte por la que debe ser asida, una inflexión primero descendente -10- y luego ascendente -11- hacia su borde extremo libre -2 'a-, la zona inflexionada de cuya plaquita se introduce en el rehundido -6- de la base superior de la lata con el fin de que dicho borde extremo -2 'a- no sobresalga del plano general de la plaquita de accionamiento, con lo que la presencia de esta parte inflexionada de la plaquita no dificultará la disposición de dichas bases superiores de las latas en las máquinas fabricantes de las mismas .It is understood that the space -E- (figure 4) created under the extreme part -2 'a- of the insert -2' - allows to comfortably grasp it with the fingertips without having to use the nails and eliminating completely the need to find and use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to be able to lift said part of the opening insert. In accordance with figures 5 and 6 on the drive plate -2'- it has been practiced, in the part for which it must be grasped, a first downward inflection -10- and then ascending -11- towards its free end edge - 2 'a-, the inflected area of whose insert is introduced into the recess -6- of the upper base of the can so that said end edge -2 'a- does not protrude from the general plane of the drive insert, whereby the presence of this inflected part of the insert will not hinder the arrangement of said upper bases of the cans in the machines manufacturing them.
Esta parte inflexionada representa una gran mejora en el proceso de apertura de las latas ya que determina en el borde extremo libre -2 'a- una superficie oblicua -12- que permite asir y apoyar debajo de ella los dedos, por ejemplo el dedo pulgar.This inflected part represents a great improvement in the process of opening the cans since it determines at the free end edge -2 'a- an oblique surface -12- that allows to grasp and support the fingers under it, for example the thumb .
Además, al coincidir esta parte inflexionada -10-11- de la plaquita de accionamiento con la inflexión transversal -7- del rehundido -6- de la base superior de la lata, se determina un apoyo que estabiliza la disposición diametral correcta de dicha plaquita para que su extremo -2'c- de ataque sobre la zona debilitada -5- coincida con el punto -5a- previsto en dicha zona para iniciar la apertura de la lata.In addition, when this inflected part -10-11- of the drive insert coincides with the transverse inflection -7- of the recess -6- of the upper base of the can, a support is determined that stabilizes the correct diametral arrangement of said insert so that its end -2'c- of attack on the weakened area -5- coincides with the point -5a- provided in said zone to initiate the opening of the can.
Característicamente la parte ascendente -11- de la inflexión del extremo libre de esta plaquita se ha previsto con una curvatura transversal de concavidad -13- inferior, permitiendo dicha concavidad el apoyo perfecto de la yema del dedo en la acción de empuje manual de dicha plaquita para la apertura de la lata. Characteristically, the ascending part -11- of the inflection of the free end of this insert is provided with a transverse curvature of concavity -13- lower, said concavity allowing the perfect support of the fingertip in the manual pushing action of said insert for opening the can.
