    [0002] Recyclable cap for packaging
    [0006] The object of the present application is the registration of a recyclable cap destined to be mounted on containers, being essentially made up of two bodies or pieces linked together and each one made of a different material.
    [0008] The field of application of the present invention is within the industry sector dedicated to the manufacture of containers for cosmetic products, perfumery, skin treatments or the like.
    [0012] In the packaging sector, there is a wide variety of caps depending on the needs, the technical sector, which differ not only by their geometric shape or dimensions, but also by their structural design in order to find alternatives to plugs that are not only adequately functional, but also attractive to the user. Thus, with this last purpose, a cap for containers has been developed, which has an embellishing casing made of biodegradable natural material, and an additional element, made of plastic or metallic material, which acts as a sealing means and / or fixing means, taking advantage of its natural properties.
    [0014] Although it may be attractive for the manufacturer to make a cap out of a natural material, it is not as attractive from an environmental point of view as the user disposes of the cap in a unitary way, which can lead to non-recycling of the cap parts and, consequently, its not reuse.
    [0016] Therefore, there is still a need for a stopper provided with two bodies that is reliable during use, both bodies being kept together in a non-removable way and at the same time individually recyclable for each of the parts or pieces that make up the cap or plug.
    [0017] Furthermore, the applicant is not currently aware of an invention that has all the features described in this specification.
    [0021] The present invention has been developed in order to provide a recyclable cap for containers that is configured as a novelty within the field of application and solves the aforementioned drawbacks, also providing other additional advantages that will be evident from the description that is attached below.
    [0023] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a recyclable cap for containers, being of the type that comprises an outer body and an inner body provided with fixing means for its retention in a container, either directly in a mouth of the same, extension or accessory present in said area to facilitate the exit of the product housed inside the container, the body being coupled and housed inside said outer body.
    [0025] In particular, the invention is characterized by the fact that the outer body is made of a biodegradable material of plant origin, in which the outer body and inner body are coupled by coupling means configured to link both two bodies to each other, the inner body including a single use release system configured to separate the outer body from the inner body. Optionally, it is possible that the cap includes anti-rotation blocking means that act on the inner and outer body.
    [0027] Thanks to these characteristics, a cap is obtained that comprises two bodies or pieces of different material, which after the end of its useful life, the user will have the ability to manually separate and thus recycle the outer body and the inner body in a completely independent way. , thus favoring the recycling action by packaging users and the subsequent treatment or management of waste for each of the materials that make up the body of the cap.
    [0029] On the other hand, the provision of anti-rotation means (depending on the structural configuration of the two inner and outer bodies) ensures the correct operation of the cap, for example, during the actions of placing and / or removing the cap from a container.
    [0031] According to a preferred embodiment, the release system is comprised of at least one line of weakness arranged on a side wall present in the inner body, said at least one line of weakness extending from a flange of one end in the direction of the opposite end.
    [0033] Preferably, at least said line of weakness is formed by a cross section of less thickness than the rest of the side wall. Although alternatively, it is also possible that at least said line of weakness is formed by a punch line that runs along the side wall.
    [0035] According to another aspect of the invention, the aforementioned coupling means may consist of flanges projecting from the outer face of the inner body that are non-releasably nestable in housings made on the inner face of the outer body.
    [0037] Preferably, the anti-rotation locking means may comprise a projection projecting outward from the inner body which can be fixed in an immovable way in a groove made in the outer body.
    [0039] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing means comprise a threading made on the inside face of the inner body that will be complementary to a threaded portion made on the container to be coupled.
    [0041] Alternatively, the fixing means may comprise protrusions projecting from the inner face of the inner body, thus providing a snap closure.
    [0043] Advantageously, the release system comprises a plurality of lines of weakness, preferably being arranged in regions close to each of the previously mentioned protrusions.
    [0045] Preferably, the outer body material consists of wood or a wood-based composite.
    [0046] The recyclable cap for packaging described thus represents an innovative structure with structural and constitutive characteristics hitherto unknown for the purpose for which it is intended, reasons that, together with its practical utility, provide it with a sufficient foundation to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is granted. requests.
    [0048] It is worth mentioning that in this specification a cap is understood as a cap or stopper itself and is applicable to any sector, being of special application in the field of packaging for cosmetics, perfumery, body care products, without being limiting for the object of the invention.
    [0050] Other characteristics and advantages of the recyclable cap for containers object of the present invention will be evident from the description of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment, which is illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, in which:

    [0069] In view of the aforementioned figures and, in accordance with the numbering adopted, an example of a preferred embodiment of the invention can be seen in them, which comprises the parts and elements that are indicated and described in detail below.
    [0071] Example 1
    [0073] As can be seen in Figures 1 to 4, this first embodiment of the recyclable cap for packaging comprises an outer body (1) in the form of a cap and an inner body (2), also in the form of a cap, provided with means of fixings configured to be retained in a neck of a container (not shown) or in a product extraction accessory (for example, a conventional sprayer or dispenser) mounted on the neck or mouth of the container itself, the inner body (2) being coupled and housed inside said outer body (1).
    [0075] In this embodiment, the fixing means comprise a plurality of protrusions (3) projecting radially from the inner face of the inner body (2), as can be seen more clearly in Figures 2 and 4.
    [0077] The outer body (1) is made of a biodegradable material of plant origin, such as wood, while the inner body (2) can be made of a plastic material, the outer body (1) and inner body (2) being coupled by coupling means configured to link both two bodies to each other during their life functional or use. Advantageously, the cap includes a single-use release system configured to separate the outer body (1) from the inner body (2), in such a way as to allow the user to subsequently recycle it independently once its use is no longer necessary.
    [0079] Making particular reference now to the release system, it is comprised of a plurality of lines of weakness (4) (see figure 2), arranged on a side wall (20) that forms part of the inner body (2), which extend from the lower lip towards the opposite end. As can be seen, each of the lines of weakness (4) is defined by a cross section of less thickness than the rest of the side wall (20). To facilitate the user to release the inner body (2) from the outer body (1), the inner face of the lower edge of the latter has a recess (23) (see in greater detail in figure 2) defined by an inclined surface made diametrically that allows the user to insert a fingernail in such a way as to apply outward pressure to the inner body (2).
    [0081] Returning again to the aforementioned coupling means, they consist of a plurality of flanges (5) projecting radially from the outer face of the side wall (20), inner body (2) (see Figure 4), which engage non-releasable in a housing consisting of a circumferential groove (6) made in the inner face of the side wall (11) of the outer body (1) (see Figure 3). In this way, once the tabs have been inserted during the cap assembly procedure, it is no longer possible to separate the two bodies (1, 2) without previously breaking the inner body (2) through the lines of weakness (4).
    [0083] Example 2
    [0085] Mention that the same or equal parts with respect to example 1 are indicated with the same numerical references.
    [0087] In this example, as can be seen in Figures 5 to 8, like the previous one, the recyclable cap for containers comprises an outer body (1) and an inner body (2), provided with fixing means configured to be fixed. to a mouth of a container (not shown), the inner body (2) being coupled and housed inside said outer body (1).
    [0088] In this example, the fixing means comprise a thread (8) made on the inner face of the side wall (20) of the inner body (2), as shown in Figures 7 and 8, provided in this case to engage in a threaded section present in the neck or mouth of a container.
    [0090] As in example 1, the outer body (1) is made of a biodegradable material of plant origin, such as wood, the outer body (1) and the inner body (2) being coupled by coupling means configured to link both two bodies from each other and anti-rotation blocking means, the inner body including a single-use release system, configured to separate the outer body from the inner body (2).
    [0092] In the present example, the release system is essentially comprised of a line of weakness (4), formed by a plurality of break points, which is arranged on the side wall (20) present on the inner body (2), which it runs diametrically and parallel to the flange (21) of the lower end of the inner body (2).
    [0094] Returning again to the aforementioned coupling means, they consist of a plurality of flanges (5) that project radially from the outer face of the side wall (20), inner body (2), as can be seen in Figures 6 and 8. Mention that the tabs (5) are slightly bent to facilitate the insertion of the inner body (2) into the outer body (1) during the assembly and joining process of the two bodies (1, 2), said tabs ( 5) dimensionally configured to insert into a circumferential groove (6).
    [0096] Furthermore, as mentioned previously, the cap includes anti-rotation blocking means that comprise a projection (9) that projects outwards from the side wall (20) of the inner body (2), being fixed immovably in a slot (12) made in the side wall (11) of the outer body (1). Furthermore, this projection (9) also serves as a starting area to facilitate the breaking of the line of weakness (4) in a simple and practical way.
    [0098] Example 3
    [0099] Mention that the same or equal parts with respect to the previous examples are indicated with the same numerical references.
    [0101] As in the previous example, the outer body (1) is made of a biodegradable material of plant origin, such as wood, the outer body (1) and the inner body (2) being coupled by coupling means configured to link both two bodies (1, 2) from each other and anti-twist locking means, the inner body including a single-use release system configured to separate the outer body from the inner body (2).
    [0103] The cap includes anti-twist locking means comprising a pair of projections (9), located diametrically opposite each other, which protrude outward from the side wall (20) of the inner body (2), being immovably adjustable in a slot (12) made on the side wall (11) of the outer body (1). Furthermore, this projection (9) also serves as a starting area to facilitate the breaking of the line of weakness (4) in a simple and practical way.
    [0105] Returning again to the aforementioned coupling means, they consist of a plurality of flanges (5) projecting radially from the outer face of the side wall (20) of the inner body (2) dimensionally configured to be inserted into a circumferential groove ( 6).
    [0107] This plug, represented in Figures 9 to 12, has the same characteristics as example 2, the main difference being the release system that is essentially comprised of a line of weakness (4) that extends perpendicular from the rim (21) until contacting the threaded section (8) present in the inner body (2) (see figure 12).
    [0109] Finally, in Figures 13 and 14 an alternative of the inner body (2) can be seen, which also has internally a threaded section (8) also intended to be coupled to a threaded section present in the neck or mouth of a container, which differs essentially along the path of the line of weakness (4) as it extends from the rim (21) and up the side wall (20) to a region defined in a base section (22) of the inner body (2 ). In this case, four lines of weakness (4) (or breakage) that extend from the area where the projections (9) are located.
    [0111] The details, shapes, dimensions and other accessory elements used in the manufacture of the recyclable cap of the invention may be conveniently replaced by others that do not depart from the scope defined by the claims included below.
