Hygienic seal for container

Abstract

Hygienic seal for a container (3), comprising an upper lid (1) and a lower ring (2) coupled to said upper lid (1) and being capable of being fitted around the body of the container (3), the upper lid having an extension (10) which projects outwards and is directed towards the lower ring (2) such that in a closed state of the container, the extension (10) of the upper lid (1) partially overlaps the lower ring (2). On an upper flange of the lower ring (2), positioning means (11, 20) are provided which comprise at least one depression (20) complementing a projection (11) which projects internally from the interior face of the extension (10). The interior face of the extension is directed towards the lower ring (2) and has tightening means (12; 120) which contact the lower ring (2) in a closed state of the container (3) when the projection (11) and the depression (20) are in contact with one another.

Description

technical field [0001] The object of the present patent application is to register a hygienic closure for containers, which has significant innovations and advantages. [0002] More specifically, the present invention intends to develop a hygienic seal for containers for storing solid products such as dried fruit, fruit, appetizers, pickled products, and liquid products such as soda, alcoholic beverages, etc.; In the closed state, the hygienic seal ensures the airtightness of the upper region of the container, where the outlet for the solid or liquid product to be dispensed is located. Background technique [0003] Known in the art are many protective elements mounted on containers for dispensing liquid substances such as beverages, such as commonly known cans, the purpose of which is to provide more hygienic conditions in the upper part of the container, which corresponds to when not in use. Where the user normally places the mouth when drinking directly from the container...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, although the system described provides good hygienic protection against contamination of the upper part of the container, once the lid has been manipulated, that is to say, once the user or consumer has manipulated the lid, there is no possibility of consuming or manipulating the available inside of the container. For drinking fluids or food, it does not ensure a complete seal, so there is an undesirable risk of leakage of the fluid contained in the container when the opening has been manipulated (i.e. the container is open)
