Es otro objeto de la invención el proporcionar un dispositivo en el que la al menos extensión longitudinal se prolonga longitudinalmente a lo largo de toda la superficie del cuerpo tubular, de manera que el dispositivo se pueda fabricar en continuo con grandes longitudes y posteriormente cortarlo a la longitud que se requiera en función de las necesidades requeridas, como puede ser en función de la altura del recipiente que contiene la bebida a consumir o de los gustos de los usuarios. La nueva configuración permite realizar su fabricación tanto por extrusión reduciendo costes como por inyección.  It is another object of the invention to provide a device in which the at least longitudinal extension extends longitudinally along the entire surface of the tubular body, so that the device can be manufactured continuously with great lengths and subsequently cut to the length that is required depending on the required needs, such as depending on the height of the container containing the beverage to be consumed or the tastes of the users. The new configuration allows manufacturing by extrusion, reducing costs and injection.

En general la invención es aplicable para sorber cualquier bebida y más concretamente para beber aspirando, remover, partir, separar, rebañar, raspar, mezclar, batir y como cuchara para recoger y/o comer aquellas partes de la bebida con distintas densidades como espuma (batidos - helados con leche-, smoothies -frutas con hielo y trituradas- , cafés con leche espumada -capuchino-, etc.), nata, cremas, siropes, toppings, etc. In general, the invention is applicable to sip any beverage and more specifically to drink by aspirating, remove, split, separate, flock, scrape, mix, whisk and as a spoon to collect and / or eat those parts of the drink with different densities such as foam (milkshakes - ice cream with milk-, smoothies -fruits with ice and crushed-, coffees with frothed milk - cappuccino-, etc.), cream, creams, syrups, toppings, etc.

ANTECEDENTE S DE LA INVENCIÓN  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

En el estado de la técnica es conocido el empleo de dispositivos para ingerir bebidas sorbiendo, empleando un dispositivo conocido como paja, que está constituido por un cuerpo tubular de extremos abiertos para permitir realizar la succión de bebidas. Es conocido un tipo de dispositivo sorbedor en cuyo cuerpo tubular presenta una serie de pliegues que permiten articular un tramo superior formando un ángulo respecto al eje longitudinal del cuerpo tubular, permitiendo variar el ángulo del tramo superior respecto del eje de la paja, facilitando el uso de la paja por parte de los usuarios.  In the state of the art it is known to use devices for ingesting sipping drinks, using a device known as straw, which is constituted by a tubular body with open ends to allow the suction of beverages. A type of sorbent device is known in which the tubular body has a series of folds that allow articulating an upper section at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the tubular body, allowing the angle of the upper section to vary from the axis of the straw, facilitating the use of straw by users.

Se da la circunstancia de que en muchas ocasiones, las bebidas deben de ser removidas para homogeneizarlas, como por ejemplo puede ser el caso de batidos, cafés, etc., para lo que el usuario agita el cuerpo tubular en diferentes direcciones, para intentar homogeneizar la bebida, lo cual no se consigue en la medida en que se requiere, por no comprender el dispositivo una superficie suficiente que permita remover la bebida. Adicionalmente, el tradicional cuerpo tubular presenta un buen perfil hidrodinámico lo que aminora su eficacia cuando se utiliza para remover, mezclar u homogeneizar una bebida.  There is the circumstance that in many occasions, drinks must be removed to homogenize them, such as milkshakes, coffees, etc., for which the user shakes the tubular body in different directions, to try to homogenize the drink, which is not achieved to the extent that it is required, because the device does not comprise a sufficient surface that allows the drink to be removed. Additionally, the traditional tubular body has a good hydrodynamic profile which reduces its effectiveness when used to stir, mix or homogenize a drink.

Además, se da la circunstancia de que a muchos usuarios, por ejemplo en el caso de los batidos, les gusta ingerir primero parte de la nata o crema que decora la bebida o rebañar la espuma sobrante una vez sorbido el liquido. En un caso, se consigue introduciendo y arrastrando un extremo del cuerpo tubular en la nata o crema para a continuación ingerirlo; en el otro caso, se consigue deslizando la superficie exterior del cuerpo tubular sobre la superficie interior del recipiente para recoger la espuma. En uno y otro caso, las funciones no se realizan adecuadamente por no encontrarse el cuerpo tubular especialmente diseñado para ello. In addition, there is the circumstance that many users, for example in the case of milkshakes, like to ingest part of the cream or cream that decorates the drink or cover the excess foam once the liquid is sipped. In one case, it is achieved by introducing and dragging one end of the tubular body into the cream or cream and then ingesting it; in the other case, it is achieved by sliding the outer surface of the tubular body over the inner surface of the container to collect the foam. In both cases, the functions are not performed properly because the tubular body specially designed for this is not found.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN  DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Para conseguir los objetivos y resolver los inconvenientes anteriormente indicados, la invención ha desarrollado un nuevo dispositivo para sorber bebidas, que al igual que los previstos en el estado de la técnica comprende un cuerpo de extremos abiertos, cuyo extremo inferior se introduce en una bebida ubicada en el interior de un recipiente, de forma que sobre su extremo superior se permite ubicar la boca de un usuario para sorber la bebida contenida en el recipiente.  In order to achieve the objectives and solve the aforementioned drawbacks, the invention has developed a new device for sipping drinks, which, like those provided in the prior art, comprises an open-ended body, the lower end of which is inserted into a located beverage inside a container, so that on its upper end it is possible to place the mouth of a user to sip the beverage contained in the container.

La principal novedad de la invención reside en el hecho de que la superficie exterior de un tramo del extremo inferior del cuerpo tubular comprende al menos una extensión lateral longitudinal para permitir realizar nuevas funciones, como son remover, partir, separar, rebañar, raspar, mezclar, batir y como cuchara.  The main novelty of the invention resides in the fact that the outer surface of a section of the lower end of the tubular body comprises at least one longitudinal lateral extension to allow new functions, such as removing, splitting, separating, flocking, scraping, mixing. , beat and spoon.

En una realización preferente de la invención la al menos extensión lateral longitudinal se extiende a lo largo de toda la superficie exterior del cuerpo tubular longitudinal para realizar funciones, como son remover, partir, separar, rebañar, raspar, mezclar, batir y como cuchara. Por tanto, en este caso, la extensión lateral, en lugar de ocupar un tramo del extremo inferior del cuerpo tubular, ocupa toda su longitud. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the at least longitudinal lateral extension extends along the entire outer surface of the longitudinal tubular body to perform functions, such as removing, splitting, separating, shedding, scraping, mixing, whisking and as a spoon. Therefore, in this case, the lateral extension, in Instead of occupying a section of the lower end of the tubular body, it occupies its entire length.

Esta configuración, presenta la ventaja de que el dispositivo se puede fabricar en continuo con una longitud previamente fijada y posteriormente se corta en tramos para la obtención de una pluralidad de dispositivos de una cierta a longitud, que se adecué a la altura del recipiente que contenga la bebida que se desee consumir, o a los gustos de los usuarios. Esta configuración simplifica y abarata la fabricación del dispositivo. Además la configuración descrita ofrece una gran superficie para situar mensajes o publicidad acerca de las cualidades y/o bondades de la bebida de la que se disfruta o puede constituir un magnifico soporte publicitario para cualquier marca. Además este perfil puede fabricarse por extrusión de plásticos lo que reduce de forma notable los costes de fabricación y por ende su precio final de venta. También permite realizar su fabricación por inyección .  This configuration has the advantage that the device can be manufactured continuously with a previously fixed length and subsequently cut into sections to obtain a plurality of devices of a certain length, which is adapted to the height of the container containing the drink you want to consume, or the tastes of the users. This configuration simplifies and reduces the manufacturing of the device. In addition, the described configuration offers a large area to place messages or advertisements about the qualities and / or benefits of the beverage that is enjoyed or can constitute a magnificent advertising support for any brand. In addition, this profile can be manufactured by extrusion of plastics, which significantly reduces manufacturing costs and therefore its final sale price. It also allows manufacturing by injection.

La invención prevé que en cualquiera de las realizaciones de la invención, la al menos extensión lateral longitudinal pueda ser maciza o hueca. En el caso en que sea hueca se reduce la cantidad de materia prima necesaria para la fabricación del dispositivo, y por tanto su coste.  The invention provides that in any of the embodiments of the invention, the at least longitudinal lateral extension may be solid or hollow. In the case where it is hollow, the amount of raw material necessary for the manufacture of the device is reduced, and therefore its cost.

La al menos extensión lateral longitudinal comprende un contorno sustancialmente rectangular cuyo borde inferior es curvo-convexo, de forma que en la realización preferente de la invención el borde inferior enrasa con el extremo inferior del cuerpo tubular. Además el borde superior de la extensión lateral longitudinal presenta un contorno curvo-cóncavo que también podría se curvo-convexo. El borde superior e inferior se unen mediante un borde longitudinal de corte y rebañado. Esta configuración aporta nuevas funcionalidades, como son permitir cortar, como por ejemplo puede ser un helado incluido en la bebida, y rebañar mediante dicho borde longitudinal. Esta configuración proporciona un tacto agradable al introducir el dispositivo en la boca. The at least longitudinal lateral extension comprises a substantially rectangular contour whose lower edge is curved-convex, so that in the preferred embodiment of the invention the lower edge is flush with the lower end of the tubular body. In addition, the upper edge of the longitudinal lateral extension has a curved-concave contour that could also be curved-convex. The upper and lower edge are joined by a longitudinal cutting and flocking edge. This configuration brings new features, such as allow cutting, such as ice cream included in the drink, and flock by means of said longitudinal edge. This setting provides a pleasant touch when the device is inserted into the mouth.

En una realización de la invención la extensión lateral longitudinal de contorno sustancialmente rectangular presenta una sección circular. Esta configuración también permite usar el dispositivo para cortar sustancias que pudiera incluir la bebida, como por ejemplo puede ser un helado.  In one embodiment of the invention the longitudinal lateral extension of substantially rectangular contour has a circular section.

En el caso en que la extensión lateral longitudinal sea de configuración hueca, comprende una pared superior y una pared inferior de superficies curvo-convexa que se unen formando el borde longitudinal de corte, por ejemplo de un helado contenido en la bebida, y el rebañado de la bebida, definiendo ambas paredes un conducto ciego de sección triangular de lados curvo-cóncavos y cerrados por el borde superior. El borde superior también podría estar abierto para evitar su flotabilidad en la bebida.  In the case where the longitudinal lateral extension is of a hollow configuration, it comprises an upper wall and a lower wall of curved-convex surfaces that join forming the longitudinal cutting edge, for example of an ice cream contained in the beverage, and the flock of the drink, both walls defining a blind duct of triangular section with curved-concave sides and closed by the upper edge. The upper edge could also be open to prevent buoyancy in the drink.

En cualquiera de las realizaciones de la invención el borde longitudinal de la configuración hueca y maciza se prevé que sea de sección curvo-convexa de pequeño radio para permitir realizar el corte y rebañado. Además esta configuración se adapta ergonómicamente a la forma de la boca y/o labios al cerrarse y proporciona un tacto agradable.  In any of the embodiments of the invention, the longitudinal edge of the hollow and solid configuration is expected to be of curved-convex section of small radius to allow cutting and flocking. In addition, this configuration adapts ergonomically to the shape of the mouth and / or lips when closed and provides a pleasant touch.

Tanto para el caso en el que la extensión lateral longitudinal sea maciza como en el caso en que sea hueca, sus superficies, superior e inferior comprenden estriados longitudinales de retención de componentes de menor densidad de la bebida, como por ejemplo puede ser espuma, lo que facilita su ingesta.  Both for the case in which the longitudinal lateral extension is solid and in the case where it is hollow, its upper and lower surfaces comprise longitudinal retention striates of components of lower density of the beverage, such as foam, for example. It facilitates your intake.

En el caso en que la al menos extensión lateral es de sección circular, se prevé que en la zona de unión con el cuerpo tubular se define un estriado longitudinal que forma un pequeño entrante a modo de valle que evita el deslizamiento de las sustancias más densas (leche espumada, nata, etc.) facilitando su consumo. In the case where the at least lateral extension is of circular section, it is foreseen that in the area of union with the Tubular body defines a longitudinal striatum that forms a small recess in the form of a valley that prevents the slipping of the densest substances (foamed milk, cream, etc.) facilitating its consumption.

En otra realización de la invención los estriados están dispuestos a modo de ondulaciones, donde las de la superficie superior e inferior están preferentemente enfrentadas. Esta configuración facilita la recogida de las sustancias más densas, al tiempo que también permite realizar el corte de sustancias que pudiera incluir la bebida.  In another embodiment of the invention the striates are arranged as undulations, where those of the upper and lower surface are preferably facing each other. This configuration facilitates the collection of the densest substances, while also allowing the cutting of substances that could include the beverage.

En el caso en el que un tramo inferior del cuerpo tubular comprenda la al menos extensión lateral longitudinal, dicho cuerpo tubular presenta una sección diferente al resto del cuerpo tubular. En la realización preferente de la invención, el cuerpo tubular presenta una sección circular que, en la zona correspondiente a la extensión lateral longitudinal, pasa a ser de sección rectangular con lados menores curvados. La invención prevé que esta sección aproximadamente rectangular del cuerpo tubular pueda prolongarse mas arriba de la al menos extensión lateral longitudinal .  In the case where a lower section of the tubular body comprises the at least longitudinal lateral extension, said tubular body has a different section from the rest of the tubular body. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the tubular body has a circular section which, in the area corresponding to the longitudinal lateral extension, becomes a rectangular section with curved minor sides. The invention provides that this approximately rectangular section of the tubular body can be extended above the at least longitudinal lateral extension.

La invención, además incluye la característica de que, tanto en la realización de la al menos extensión lateral longitudinal hueca, como maciza, la zona superior del cuerpo tubular puede incluir una prominencia anular, para facilitar la aplicación de un movimiento de rotación del cuerpo tubular alrededor de su eje, batiendo la bebida. La prominencia anular superior del cuerpo tubular comprende una sección transversal que define un sector circular, cuya superficie comprende unas estrías. La configuración descrita presenta la ventaja de facilitar el batido de la bebida mediante el dispositivo. Esta realización es preferentemente aplicable en el caso en que la al menos extensión lateral longitudinal ocupa un tramo del extremo inferior del cuerpo tubular, en cuyo caso la sección aproximadamente rectangular del cuerpo tubular se prolonga hasta el inicio de dicha prominencia anular. The invention also includes the feature that, both in the realization of the at least hollow longitudinal lateral extension, as well as solid, the upper area of the tubular body may include an annular prominence, to facilitate the application of a rotational movement of the tubular body around its axis, whisking the drink. The upper annular prominence of the tubular body comprises a cross section that defines a circular sector, the surface of which comprises striations. The described configuration has the advantage of facilitating the beating of the beverage by means of the device. This embodiment is preferably applicable in the case in which the at least longitudinal lateral extension occupies a section of the lower end of the tubular body, in which case the approximately rectangular section of the tubular body extends to the beginning of said annular prominence.

En otra realización de la invención se prevé que el tramo del extremo inferior del cuerpo tubular que comprende la al menos extensión lateral longitudinal pueda ser separable del resto del cuerpo tubular, para lo que dicho tramo separable del extremo inferior del cuerpo tubular que comprende la al menos extensión lateral longitudinal, incluye en su extremo superior una prolongación cilindrica, que tras un estrechamiento continua según una tramo cilindrico de un diámetro complementario al diámetro interior del cuerpo tubular, para encajarlos a presión. Esta configuración presenta la ventaja de que el tramo del extremo inferior del cuerpo tubular que comprende la al menos extensión lateral longitudinal puede ser fabricado por inyección y el resto del cuerpo tubular por extrusión, lo que abarata su coste. En esta realización se prevé que el diámetro interior del cuerpo tubular del tramo separable pasa a tener una configuración de sección elíptica que proporciona un ensanchamiento del extremo inferior, desde el inicio de dicha prolongación cilindrica hacia dicho extremo inferior, para facilitar sorber la bebida. También se prevé que las extensiones laterales nazcan desde los laterales de prolongación cilindrica e incluyan los estriados anteriormente descritos In another embodiment of the invention it is envisioned that the section of the lower end of the tubular body comprising the at least longitudinal lateral extension can be separable from the rest of the tubular body, for which said section separable from the lower end of the tubular body comprising the less longitudinal lateral extension, includes in its upper end a cylindrical extension, that after a continuous narrowing according to a cylindrical section of a diameter complementary to the inner diameter of the tubular body, to fit them under pressure. This configuration has the advantage that the section of the lower end of the tubular body comprising the at least longitudinal lateral extension can be manufactured by injection and the rest of the tubular body by extrusion, which lowers its cost. In this embodiment it is envisioned that the inner diameter of the tubular body of the separable section becomes an elliptical section configuration that provides a widening of the lower end, from the beginning of said cylindrical extension towards said lower end, to facilitate sipping the drink. The lateral extensions are also expected to be born from the cylindrical extension sides and include the striates described above.

En la realización preferente de la invención, para todos los casos anteriormente descritos, se prevé la incorporación de al menos dos extensiones laterales longitudinales opuestas, en lugar de una, lo que facilita la realización de las funcionalidades anteriormente comentadas. Obviamente se pondrán emplear un número variable de extensiones laterales longitudinales . In the preferred embodiment of the invention, for all the cases described above, the incorporation of at least two opposite longitudinal lateral extensions is provided, instead of one, which facilitates the performance of the aforementioned functionalities. Obviously it They will use a variable number of longitudinal lateral extensions.

En el caso de incorporar dos extensiones laterales longitudinales opuestas, el borde inferior curvo-convexo de las extensiones laterales longitudinales diametrales, junto con el extremo inferior del cuerpo tubular forman una configuración semicircular del borde inferior del dispositivo que proporciona un tacto agradable al introducir el dispositivo en la boca y además se adapta mejor al fondo del recipiente a fin de poder succionar hasta la totalidad de la bebida .  In the case of incorporating two opposite longitudinal lateral extensions, the curved-convex lower edge of the diametral longitudinal lateral extensions, together with the lower end of the tubular body form a semicircular configuration of the lower edge of the device that provides a pleasant touch when introducing the device in the mouth and also adapts better to the bottom of the container in order to suck up the entire beverage.

En cualquiera de las realizaciones, y más particularmente en la realización en la que la al menos extensión lateral longitudinal o las al menos dos extensiones laterales opuestas se extienden a lo largo de toda la superficie exterior del cuerpo tubular, se prevé que la superficie exterior del cuerpo tubular presente una sección elíptica, lo que determina que la sección del dispositivo sea más ancha que alta, a modo de huso. Esta configuración facilita su adaptación a los labios del usuario y por tanto proporciona una mayor ergonomía. En este caso la al menos extensión lateral está dispuesta en correspondencia con uno de los extremos de la elipse.  In any of the embodiments, and more particularly in the embodiment in which the at least longitudinal lateral extension or the at least two opposite lateral extensions extend along the entire outer surface of the tubular body, the outer surface of the Tubular body has an elliptical section, which determines that the section of the device is wider than high, as a spindle. This configuration facilitates its adaptation to the user's lips and therefore provides greater ergonomics. In this case the at least lateral extension is arranged in correspondence with one of the ends of the ellipse.

La invención también prevé que la superficie exterior del cuerpo tubular pueda presentar una sección circular, pero también podría ser cualquier otra sección que se precise.  The invention also provides that the outer surface of the tubular body may have a circular section, but it could also be any other section that is required.

En cualquiera de los casos la superficie interior del cuerpo tubular puede presentar una sección elíptica, o también circular, e igualmente cualquier otra configuración que se requiera.  In any of the cases, the inner surface of the tubular body may have an elliptical or circular section, and also any other configuration that is required.

En la realización en la que la al menos extensión lateral longitudinal se extiende a lo largo de toda la superficie exterior del cuerpo tubular longitudinal o comprenda dos extensiones laterales longitudinales opuestas que se extienden a lo largo de toda la superficie exterior del cuerpo tubular longitudinal, una vez fabricado el dispositivo se corta en tramos para la obtención de una pluralidad de dispositivos, de manera que dicho corte puede ser regular o irregular. A su vez el corte regular puede ser recto o curvo de configuración cóncava o convexa. En definitiva el corte puede presentar cualquier otra configuración que se requiera. Atendiendo a la funcionalidad y uso final del dispositivo ambos extremos pueden ser cortados atendiendo a formas iguales o diferentes lo que daría lugar como resultado en cada caso un dispositivo final simétrico o asimétrico. En la realización preferente de la invención el corte se realiza de modo que el borde inferior de las extensiones laterales longitudinales opuestas, junto con el extremo inferior del cuerpo tubular forman una configuración semicircular de los extremos del dispositivo, lo que proporciona un tacto agradable al introducir el dispositivo en la boca y además se adapta mejor al fondo del recipiente a fin de poder succionar hasta la totalidad de la bebida . In the embodiment in which the at least longitudinal lateral extension extends along the entire outer surface of the longitudinal tubular body or comprises two opposite longitudinal lateral extensions that extend along the entire outer surface of the longitudinal tubular body, once the device is manufactured it is cut into sections to obtain a plurality of devices, so that said cut can be regular or irregular. In turn, the regular cut can be straight or curved concave or convex. In short, the cut can present any other configuration that is required. According to the functionality and final use of the device, both ends can be cut according to the same or different shapes, which would result in a symmetric or asymmetric end device in each case. In the preferred embodiment of the invention the cutting is carried out so that the lower edge of the opposite longitudinal lateral extensions, together with the lower end of the tubular body form a semicircular configuration of the ends of the device, which provides a pleasant touch when introducing the device in the mouth and also adapts better to the bottom of the container in order to suck up the entire beverage.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA FORMA DE REALIZACIÓN PREFERIDA  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

A continuación se realiza una descripción de la invención basada en las figuras anteriormente comentadas.  Below is a description of the invention based on the figures mentioned above.

El dispositivo de la invención está constituido por un cuerpo tubular 1 de extremos 2 y 3 abiertos de forma que introduciendo el extremo inferior 2 en una bebida contenida en un recipiente, por ejemplo un vaso (no representado), y tras ubicar la boca sobre el extremo superior 3, se permite sorber la bebida.  The device of the invention is constituted by a tubular body 1 of open ends 2 and 3 such that by introducing the lower end 2 into a beverage contained in a container, for example a glass (not shown), and after placing the mouth on the upper end 3, it is allowed to sip the drink.

La principal novedad de la invención reside en la característica de que un tramo inferior del cuerpo tubular 1 comprende al menos una extensión lateral longitudinal 4, a modo de aleta o paleta, para realizar funciones de remover, partir, separar, rebañar, raspar, mezclar, batir y como cuchara para recoger y/o comer aquellas partes de la bebida con distintas densidades como espuma (batidos - helados con leche-, smoothies -frutas con hielo y trituradas-, cafés con leche espumada -capuchino-, etc.), nata, cremas, siropes, toppings, etc. En la realización preferente de la invención se incluyen dos extensiones laterales longitudinales 4 diametrales, a modo de aletas o paletas, para favorecer la funcionalidad de removedor, rebañador, batidor y/o cuchara. Por tanto la invención es aplicable para ingerir cualquier bebida y más concretamente en bebidas que contienen partes con diferentes densidades, como espuma (batidos - helados con leche-, smoothies -frutas con hielo y trituradas-, cafés con leche espumada -capuchino-, etc.) . En la figura 1 se ha representado un primer ejemplo de realización de la invención en la que las extensiones laterales longitudinales 4 presentan una configuración maciza. El borde inferior 5 de las extensiones laterales longitudinales 4 presentan una configuración curvo-convexa, y todo ello de forma que dicho borde inferior 5 enrasa con el extremo inferior 2 del cuerpo tubular 1. El extremo inferior 2 del cuerpo tubular 1 también es curvo-convexo, de forma que dicho extremo inferior 2, junto con los bordes inferiores de las extensiones laterales longitudinales definen un borde inferior del dispositivo semicircular que resulta agradable al tacto cuando el dispositivo se utiliza como cuchara. The main novelty of the invention resides in the characteristic that a lower section of the tubular body 1 comprises at least one longitudinal lateral extension 4, as a fin or vane, to perform functions of removing, splitting, separating, flocking, scraping, mixing , beat and as a spoon to collect and / or eat those parts of the drink with different densities such as foam (milkshakes - ice cream with milk-, smoothies -fruits with ice and crushed-, coffees with frothed milk -capuchino-, etc.), cream, creams, syrups, toppings, etc. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, two diametral longitudinal lateral extensions 4 are included, as fins or vanes, to favor the functionality of remover, scavenger, whisk and / or spoon. Therefore the invention is applicable to ingest any beverage and more specifically in drinks that contain parts with different densities, such as foam (milkshakes - ice cream with milk-, smoothies -fruits with ice and crushed-, coffees with frothed milk -capuchin-, etc. .). In figure 1 a first embodiment of the invention is shown in which the longitudinal lateral extensions 4 have a solid configuration. The lower edge 5 of the longitudinal lateral extensions 4 has a curved-convex configuration, and all this so that said lower edge 5 is flush with the lower end 2 of the tubular body 1. The lower end 2 of the tubular body 1 is also curved. convex, so that said lower end 2, together with the lower edges of the longitudinal lateral extensions define a lower edge of the semicircular device that is pleasant to the touch when the device is used as a spoon.

El borde superior 6 de las extensiones laterales longitudinales 4 es curvo-cóncavo, de forma que igualmente resultan agradables al tacto cuando el dispositivo se utiliza como cuchara, aparte de presentar un diseño avanzado y ergonómico .  The upper edge 6 of the longitudinal lateral extensions 4 is curved-concave, so that they are also pleasant to the touch when the device is used as a spoon, apart from presenting an advanced and ergonomic design.

Esta configuración permite que al introducirse en la boca el extremo inferior del dispositivo, resulte más cómodo y suave al tacto al emplearlo como cuchara. Los labios se adaptan y deslizan longitudinalmente arrastrando, por ejemplo, la espuma.  This configuration allows the lower end of the device to be introduced into the mouth, more comfortable and soft to the touch when used as a spoon. The lips adapt and slide longitudinally by dragging, for example, the foam.

La superficie superior e inferior de las extensiones laterales longitudinales 4, están dotadas de unos estriados 7 que frenan el deslizamiento de la espuma (batido, café, etc.) que la bebida puede contener, ya que la propia densidad y estructura de la espuma se frena al encontrarse con los estriados 7, lo que proporciona al dispositivo la función de cuchara al permitirse ingerir la espuma. Los estriados 7 carece de aristas para hacerlo suave al tacto.  The upper and lower surface of the longitudinal lateral extensions 4, are provided with striates 7 that slow the sliding of the foam (milkshake, coffee, etc.) that the beverage can contain, since the foam's own density and structure is it stops when it meets the striates 7, which gives the device the function of spoon when it is allowed to ingest the foam. The striated 7 lacks edges to make it soft to the touch.

La configuración anterior define un borde longitudinal 10 de las extensiones longitudinales 4, de contorno curvo- convexo de pequeño radio, por ejemplo de 1,40 rom, de manera que dicho borde longitudinal 10 puede ser empleado para cortar, por ejemplo, un trozo de helado que incluya la bebida. Este borde longitudinal 10 también facilita el rebañado de la espuma de la bebida. The above configuration defines a longitudinal edge 10 of the longitudinal extensions 4, of curved contour. small convex radius, for example of 1.40 rom, so that said longitudinal edge 10 can be used to cut, for example, a piece of ice cream that includes the beverage. This longitudinal edge 10 also facilitates flocking of the beverage foam.

La parte superior del cuerpo tubular 1, comprende una prominencia anular 8 para permitir la aplicación de un movimiento de rotación del cuerpo tubular 1 alrededor de su eje, mediante el dedo índice y el pulgar, facilitando el removido y posibilitando el batido de la bebida. Además la superficie de la prominencia anular 8 incluye un estriado 9, para facilitar la sujeción y batido del dispositivo evitando que se escurra. Esta configuración permite incluso disponer la prominencia anular 8 entre las palmas de las manos del usuario para batir la bebida.  The upper part of the tubular body 1, comprises an annular prominence 8 to allow the application of a rotational movement of the tubular body 1 around its axis, by means of the index finger and the thumb, facilitating the removal and allowing the beating of the beverage. In addition, the surface of the annular prominence 8 includes a groove 9, to facilitate the clamping and beating of the device preventing it from draining. This configuration even allows the annular prominence 8 to be arranged between the palms of the user's hands to beat the beverage.

La prominencia anular 8 del cuerpo tubular 1 presenta una sección transversal que define un sector circular a modo de "bola" para facilitar la funcionalidad anteriormente indicada .  The annular prominence 8 of the tubular body 1 has a cross-section that defines a circular sector as a "ball" to facilitate the functionality indicated above.

En la figura 2, se muestra otra posible realización de la invención, similar a la de la figura 1, pero en este caso las extensiones laterales longitudinales 4 presentan una configuración hueca, de forma que se reduce la materia prima requerida para fabricación del dispositivo, y en consecuencia se reduce su coste. Para obtener la configuración hueca se prevé una pared superior 4a y una pared inferior 4b de superficies curvo-convexas que se unen formando el borde longitudinal 10 de corte y de rebañado de la espuma de la bebida, definiendo un conducto ciego 11 de sección triangular de paredes curvo-cóncavas, cerrado por el borde superior 6.  In Figure 2, another possible embodiment of the invention is shown, similar to that of Figure 1, but in this case the longitudinal lateral extensions 4 have a hollow configuration, so that the raw material required for manufacturing the device is reduced, and consequently its cost is reduced. In order to obtain the hollow configuration, an upper wall 4a and a lower wall 4b of curved-convex surfaces are provided which are joined forming the longitudinal edge 10 of cutting and steeping of the foam of the beverage, defining a blind duct 11 of triangular section of curved-concave walls, closed by the upper edge 6.

En esta realización la pared superior 4a y la pared inferior 4b también incluyen los estriados 7, y el cuerpo tubular 1 la prominencia 8, para realizar las funciones ya comentadas en el ejemplo anterior. In this embodiment the upper wall 4a and the lower wall 4b also include the striates 7, and the body tubular 1 prominence 8, to perform the functions already mentioned in the previous example.

La invención presenta diferentes aspectos de diseño en las figuras 1 y 2. Asi en la figura 1, el cuerpo tubular 1 presenta una sección circular desde el extremo superior 3 hasta la prominencia anular 8, desde la que continua según una sección aproximadamente rectangular de lados menores curvo-convexos hasta el extremo inferior 2. En cambio en el ejemplo de la figura 2 el cuerpo tubular es de sección circular desde el extremo superior hasta la extensión lateral longitudinal 4, donde pasa a tener una sección rectangular de lados menores curvados.  The invention presents different design aspects in Figures 1 and 2. Thus in Figure 1, the tubular body 1 has a circular section from the upper end 3 to the annular prominence 8, from which it continues along an approximately rectangular section of sides curved-convex minors to the lower end 2. On the other hand, in the example of figure 2, the tubular body has a circular section from the upper end to the longitudinal lateral extension 4, where it becomes a rectangular section with curved smaller sides.

En la figura 3 se muestra otro ejemplo de realización en el que el cuerpo tubular 1 comprende al menos una extensión lateral longitudinal 4', a modo de aleta o paleta, que discurre a lo largo de toda la longitud del cuerpo tubular 1, para realizar funciones de removedor, rebañador, cuchara y/o batido. En la realización preferente de la invención se incluyen dos extensiones laterales longitudinales 4' opuestas, a modo de aletas o paletas, para favorecer la funcionalidad de removedor, partidor, raspador, rebañador, batidor, mezclador y cuchara.  Figure 3 shows another embodiment in which the tubular body 1 comprises at least one longitudinal lateral extension 4 ', as a fin or vane, which runs along the entire length of the tubular body 1, to realize functions of remover, slicer, spoon and / or milkshake. In the preferred embodiment of the invention two opposite 4 'longitudinal lateral extensions are included, by way of fins or vanes, to favor the functionality of remover, splitter, scraper, scavenger, beater, mixer and spoon.

Esta configuración permite fabricar el dispositivo en continuo con una longitud previamente fijada y posteriormente se corta en tramos para obtener diferentes dispositivos de longitud adecuada, según las necesidades de consumo requeridas .  This configuration allows the device to be manufactured continuously with a previously fixed length and subsequently cut into sections to obtain different devices of suitable length, according to the required consumption needs.

En la figura 3 se ha representado un ejemplo en el que la superficie exterior del cuerpo tubular 1 presenta una sección elíptica, en cuyos extremos incorpora las extensiones laterales longitudinales 4', que son de sección circular, cuya superficie curvada permite realizar el corte de sustancias contenidas en la bebida, como por ejemplo puede ser un helado o similar y además permite rebañar el recipiente, al tiempo que facilita su adaptación a los labios del usuario. De esta forma se obtiene una configuración más plana y funcional. An example is shown in Figure 3 in which the outer surface of the tubular body 1 has an elliptical section, at the ends of which it incorporates the longitudinal lateral extensions 4 ', which are of circular section, whose curved surface allows the cutting of substances contained in the drink, such as an ice cream or similar, and also allows the container to be flooded, while facilitating its adaptation to the user's lips. In this way a more flat and functional configuration is obtained.

En la zona de unión de la al menos extensión lateral 4' con el cuerpo tubular 1 define un pequeño estriado o entrante longitudinal 7a a modo de valle que evita el deslizamiento de las sustancias más densas (leche espumada, nata, etc.) ya que la propia densidad y estructura de la espuma se frena al encontrarse con el el entrante longitudinal 7a, lo que proporciona al dispositivo que pueda usarse como cuchara al permitirse ingerir la espuma.  In the zone of union of the at least lateral extension 4 'with the tubular body 1 defines a small grooved or longitudinal recess 7a as a valley that prevents the slipping of the densest substances (foamed milk, cream, etc.) since The density and structure of the foam itself slows when it meets the longitudinal recess 7a, which provides the device that can be used as a spoon when the foam is allowed to be ingested.

En la figura 4 se muestra otra realización de la invención en la que el cuerpo tubular 1 también es de sección elíptica en cuyos extremos incorpora sendas extensiones laterales 4'', que presentan un contorno rectangular de superficie superior e inferior dotada de unas ondulaciones 7b a modo de estriado, previstas para facilitar la recogida de las sustancias más densas, que al carecer de aristas resulta suave al tacto. En este caso el borde longitudinal 10 de la al menos extensión lateral 4'' es de superficie curvo- convexa, para permitir realizar el corte y rebañado, al igual que en el ejemplo de la figura 3.  Figure 4 shows another embodiment of the invention in which the tubular body 1 is also of elliptical section at the ends of which it incorporates two lateral extensions 4 '', which have a rectangular contour of upper and lower surface provided with undulations 7b a striated mode, intended to facilitate the collection of denser substances, which lacking edges is soft to the touch. In this case, the longitudinal edge 10 of the at least lateral extension 4 '' has a curved-convex surface, to allow cutting and flocking, as in the example of Figure 3.

En las realizaciones descritas de las figuras 3 y 4, la superficie interior del cuerpo tubular 1 es de sección elíptica, pero también cabe la posibilidad de que presente una sección circular o cualquier otra configuración que se requiera .  In the described embodiments of Figures 3 and 4, the inner surface of the tubular body 1 is of elliptical section, but it is also possible that it has a circular section or any other configuration that is required.

El corte del dispositivo de las figuras 3 y 4, a la longitud requerida, se realiza de forma que sus extremos superior e inferior sean curvo-convexos. Así se prevé que en las realizaciones descritas este corte se efectúa de manera que dichos extremos del dispositivo forman una configuración semicircular, lo que proporciona un tacto agradable al introducir el dispositivo en la boca y además se adapta mejor al fondo del recipiente a fin de poder succionar hasta la totalidad de la bebida. The cutting of the device of figures 3 and 4, to the required length, is carried out so that its upper and lower ends are curved-convex. Thus it is expected that in The embodiments described in this section are made so that said ends of the device form a semicircular configuration, which provides a pleasant touch when the device is inserted into the mouth and also adapts better to the bottom of the container in order to suction up to all the drink.

También se prevé que el corte pueda ser recto o cualquier corte regular, como por ejemplo parabólico, hiperbólico, o incluso un corte irregular.  It is also anticipated that the cut can be straight or any regular cut, such as parabolic, hyperbolic, or even an irregular cut.

Las realizaciones de dichas figuras 3 y 4, proporcionan un perfil que puede fabricarse bien por extrusión o por inyección .  The embodiments of said figures 3 and 4 provide a profile that can be manufactured either by extrusion or by injection.

Obviamente cualquier combinación de las características descritas en las diferentes realizaciones forma parte de la invención.  Obviously any combination of the features described in the different embodiments forms part of the invention.

Las realizaciones de la invención, aparte de permitir beber, aportan nuevas funcionalidades como son remover, partir, batir, separar, recoger, rebañar, raspar, mezclar, comer, e incluso jugar con la bebida.  The embodiments of the invention, apart from allowing drinking, provide new functionalities such as stirring, splitting, beating, separating, collecting, flocking, scraping, mixing, eating, and even playing with the drink.

En las figuras 5, 6 y 7 se muestra otra realización de la invención en la que se prevé que el tramo del extremo inferior del cuerpo tubular 1 que comprende dos extensiones laterales longitudinales 4 sea separable del resto del cuerpo tubular 1, para lo que dicho tramo separable, incluye en su extremo superior una prolongación cilindrica 12, que tras un estrechamiento continúa según un tramo cilindrico 13 de un diámetro complementario al diámetro interior cilindrico del cuerpo tubular 1, para encajarlos a presión, tal y como se muestra en la figura 7. Para facilitar el acoplamiento a presión se prevé que la superficie del tramo cilindrico 13 incluya un estriado 14 que reduce la superficie de rozamiento en el acoplamiento a presión. En este ejemplo, tal y como se muestra en la figura 6, el diámetro interior del cuerpo tubular del tramo separable pasa a tener una configuración de sección elíptica que proporciona un ensanchamiento del extremo inferior 2, desde el inicio de la prolongación cilindrica 12 hacia dicho extremo inferior 2, para facilitar sorber la bebida, es. En este ejemplo las extensiones laterales 4 nacen desde los laterales de prolongación cilindrica 12 e incluyen los estriados 7anteriormente descritos . In Figures 5, 6 and 7, another embodiment of the invention is shown in which it is provided that the section of the lower end of the tubular body 1 comprising two longitudinal lateral extensions 4 is separable from the rest of the tubular body 1, for which said separable section, includes at its upper end a cylindrical extension 12, which after a narrowing continues along a cylindrical section 13 of a diameter complementary to the cylindrical inner diameter of the tubular body 1, to fit them under pressure, as shown in Figure 7 In order to facilitate the pressure coupling, the surface of the cylindrical section 13 is provided to include a groove 14 which reduces the friction surface in the pressure coupling. In this example, as is shown in figure 6, the inner diameter of the tubular body of the separable section becomes an elliptical section configuration that provides a widening of the lower end 2, from the beginning of the cylindrical extension 12 towards said lower end 2, to facilitate sipping the drink is. In this example the lateral extensions 4 are born from the cylindrical extension sides 12 and include the striates 7 described above.

La configuración de las figuras 5, 6 y 7 presenta la ventaja de que el tramo separable puede fabricarse por inyección y el resto del cuerpo tubular 1 por extrusión, lo que abarata su coste.  The configuration of Figures 5, 6 and 7 has the advantage that the separable section can be manufactured by injection and the rest of the tubular body 1 by extrusion, which lowers its cost.
