This invention discloses an innovative device to effectively open a recipient or container whose cap is formed by a laminated surface, also forming a mouthpiece that allows the direct and hygienic consumption of the content within. The disclosed device is an overcap comprising: i) a base with an inner hollow space, and ii) a tab located within the hollow space of the base, having piercing and cutting means on one of its ends and comprising an inner hollow space; which is connected to the base by means of two end pieces forming an axis for the tab to be turned. Once said overcap is coupled with the container, the laminated surface can be pierced and removed/pulled away by turning the tab, thereby creating an opening in the laminate allowing the content to exit there from. The tab completes its turn when the end opposite to the one containing the piercing and cutting means reaches the base of the cap, in such a way that a mouthpiece is formed, thereby facilitating the direct and hygienic consumption of the content within a container whose cap is formed by a laminated surface, ensuring no contact between the mouth of the consumer and the container or its cap, and with no spills or splashes.

OVERCAP HAVING MEANS WHICH FACILITATE THE OPENING OF A CONTAINER AND THE SUBSEQUENT DIRECT CONSUMPTION OF THE CONTENT THEREOF
This invention discloses an innovative device to effectively open a recipient or container whose cap is formed by a laminated surface, also forming a mouthpiece that allows the direct and hygienic consumption of the content within.

The tab completes its turn when the end opposite to the one containing the piercing and cutting means reaches the base of the cap, in such a way that a mouthpiece is formed, thereby facilitating the direct and hygienic consumption of the content within a container whose cap is formed by a laminated surface, ensuring no contact between the mouth of the consumer and the container or its cap, and with no spills or splashes. FIELD: Food Industry, Caps, caps or caps with means to pierce, cut or sever the inner surface (B65D 51/22).

OVERCAP HAVING MEANS WHICH FACILITATE THE OPENING OF A CONTAINER AND THE SUBSEQUENT DIRECT CONSUMPTION OF THE CONTENT THEREOF
The invention relates to an overcap which enables a container, having a lid consisting of a laminated surface, to be effectively opened, also helping a nozzle, enabling the direct and hygienic consumption of the packaged content, to be formed. The overcap consists of: i) a base having a hollow area in the internal portion thereof, and ii) a tab in the hollow area of the base and is provided at one end with a means for perforating and tearing, has a hollowed area on the inside and is attached to the base by two ends that form an axis on which said tab turns. Once the overcap is coupled to the container, the rotation of the tab enables the laminated packaging surface to be perforated, dragging same, thereby creating an opening in the sheet for the content to exit. The rotating movement of the tab ends when the opposite side having the perforating and tearing means reaches the base of the overcap, such that a nozzle facilitating direct consumption of the packaged content is formed.
