DESCRIPTION LID FOR CONTAINERS OF OIL AND SIMILAR PRODUCTS

PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION

This request for an Invention Patent concerns a cap for containers of oils and similar substances and provides a variety of advantages to this function, which will be described further on, as well as other inherent advantages to its design and structure.

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION

At the present time and as a reference to the current technical state, it should be mentioned that the current oil containers have a seal tab attached to a ring, whose pressure unseals the tab, thus obtaining a single flow depending on the size of the mouth of the container.

On many occasions, the ring breaks without unsealing the tab, thus entailing the use of sharp items for the unsealing, which can lead to various accidents, such as cuts or similar.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The cap for containers of oils and similar products, which is the object of this registration, is characterised by its constitution of two half-casings, a lower and

an upper half, so that the lower half-casing fixes to the mouth of the container and contains a seal in the shape of a sloping plane, joined by a rib, which allows the seal to be partially opened, and in the upper part of the seal is incorporated a vertible stub that enables the seal to return to the initial position.

The upper half-casing is attached by means of surrounding tongues and grooves that allow the upper half-casing to connect to the lower half-casing.

Inside the upper half-casing emerges a projection that matches the vertical stub, and which is received in the lower part in its original position, it being foreseen that said projection will break the seal when one half-casing is rotated against the other.

The projection breaks said seal, and the force of the rotation puts pressure on the inclined plane, enabling different degrees of opening, and thus providing different types of flow of the product.

When said projection has returned to its original position, it touches against the stub which emerges from the seal, thus ensuring the return to said original position.

The upper half-casing is in the form of a three-level, eccentric configuration, where the two lower levels collect the drip of the supplied product, ensuring that the drip does not extend beyond the upper part of the cap.

Among the many advantages of this invention, must be highlighted the notable saving of the product due to consumption control, as it dispenses the product in proportion to each need and enables the seal to be broken by a simple rotation, thus avoiding the use of separate and contaminating supplementary items.

To supplement the following description and contribute to a better understanding of its characteristics, this description is accompanied by a set of plans, whose

diagrams, that are for illustration and are not exhaustive, demonstrate the most significant details of the invention.

DESCRIPTION OF AN EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INVENTION

Based on the aforementioned diagrams and in accordance with the adopted numbering system, an illustrative, but by no means exhaustive example of the invention may be seen. Said invention consists of a cap for containers of oils and similar substances and is made up of two half-casings, an upper one -1- and a lower one -2- , wherein the lower half-casing -2- attaches to the mouth of the container by the inner peripheral skirt -3-, and contains a seal in the form of an inclined plane -A-, joined by a rib -5-, which allows the seal -A- to partially open, in such a way that a vertical stub -5a-, emerging from the inclined plane -A-, is incorporated in the upper part of the seal and enables the seal -4- to return to its initial position.

The upper half-casing -1- interlocks via a surrounding tongue and groove hoop

-6- that allows the upper half-casing -1- to join to the lower half-casing -2-.

In the interior of the upper half-casing -1- is a projection -7- that matches the vertical stub -5a-, which is received in the lower part, situated in the original position, it being that said projection -7- that opens the seal -4- via the rotation of one half-casing -1- against the other -2-.

The projection -7- that opens said seal -4-, via the force of the rotation puts pressure on the inclined plane, enabling different degrees of opening, and thus providing different types of flow of the product.

Said projection -7-, when it returns to the original position, touches against the stub -5a- that emerges from the seal -4-, thus ensuring the return to said original position.

The upper half-casing -1- is in the form of an eccentric configuration of three levels, -8a-, -8b- and -8c-, where the lower two levels collect the drip from the product supply, thus ensuring that the drip does not go beyond the upper part of the cap.

Similarly, the aforementioned upper half-casing -1- has a flip-top -9-.

As previously indicated, the highlights among this invention's many advantages, are the notable savings due to the control of consumption, due to the proportional dispensation of the product for every need, the breaking of the seal by simple turning, avoiding the use of additional separate and contaminating items.

While maintaining the essential nature of the invention, it could be produced in forms that differ in some details from the example cited in this description.

These different forms will achieve the same amount of protection. It could

therefore be produced in any shape or size and with more suitable materials and resources, because all of this is included in the spirit of the claims.
