Protector for containers

Abstract

The invention relates to a protector for containers that include a rivet that protrudes in the upper portion of the container, comprising an upper lid and a lower ring that can be coupled to the side wall of the container, the upper lid and the lower ring being attached to each other. The lower ring includes a plurality of locking tabs, which protrude from an interior face of the lower ring in an upwards direction and along the entire perimeter of the lower ring, said locking tabs having an angle of inclination with respect to a vertical portion of the lower ring, said locking tabs being designed to hold the side wall of the container and abut under the rivet present in the container, the upper lid including at least a negative portion that protrudes from an interior face of a perimeter flange, which is attached to the locking tabs in a closed state of the upper lid with respect to the lower ring.

1 . A protector for containers, intended to be coupled in cylindrical containers that include a rivet that protrudes in the upper part of the very container, comprising an upper lid to cover the upper face of the container and a lower ring that can be coupled to the side wall of the container, the upper lid and the lower ring being fastened together in a hinged way, characterised by the fact that the lower ring includes in a point close to the upper flange thereof a plurality of locking tabs that are separated from each other, which protrude from an interior face of the lower ring in an upwards direction and along the entire perimeter of the lower ring, said locking tabs having an angle of inclination with respect to a vertical portion of the lower ring, said locking tabs being designed to hold the side wall of the container and abut under the rivet present in the upper part of the container, and wherein the upper lid includes at least a negative portion that protrudes from an interior face of a perimeter flange, which is fastened to the locking tabs in a closed state of the upper lid with respect to the lower ring. 
     
     
         2 . The protector for containers according to  claim 1 , characterised by the fact that at least said negative portion that protrudes from the interior face of a perimeter flange is facing and in contact with the locking tabs in a closed state of the upper lid with respect to the lower ring. 
     
     
         3 . The protector for containers according to  claim 1 , characterised by the fact that it comprises a plurality of negative portions that protrude from the interior face of a perimeter flange, which are facing and in contact with the locking tabs in a closed state of the upper lid with respect to the lower ring. 
     
     
         4 . The protector for containers according to  claim 1 , characterised by the fact that it comprises a plurality of negative portions that protrude from the interior face of a perimeter flange, which occupy the free space between the locking tabs in a closed state of the upper lid with respect to the lower ring. 
     
     
         5 . The protector for containers according to  claim 1 , characterised by the fact that each locking tab has in a lower region a depression with a material thickness. 
     
     
         6 . The protector for containers according to  claim 1 , characterised by the fact that the lower ring has a plurality of partitions that protrude from the exterior face thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The protector for containers according to  claim 1 , characterised by the fact that a side wall of the upper lid has a plurality of partitions. 
     
     
         8 . The protector for containers according to  claim 5 , characterised by the fact that the partitions present in the upper lid are complementary in shape and size with respect to the partitions present in the lower ring. 
     
     
         9 . The protector for containers according to  claim 1 , characterised by the fact that the lower ring includes a chamfered lower extension intended to be in contact with the container. 
     
     
         10 . The protector for containers according to  claim 6 , characterised by the fact that the partitions present in the upper lid are complementary in shape and size with respect to the partitions present in the lower ring.
