Applicator system for coupling at least one carrier to a set of drink cans to form one or more packages

An application system (or coupling at least one carrier on top of a confined set of cans of beverages to form one or more packages of cans, which allows for controlled deformation of carriers of the type that have a substantially horizontal upper central area and a plurality of covering flaps arranged at a level above the upper face of the cans, comprising:

• a top applicator in the form of:
• a flat square plate with flat faces, configured to produce the controlled deformation of the carrier, and
• a lower confining component to orderly position the set of cans to receive the top applicator.
• wherein on one of the flat faces, the top applicator includes at least one recess formed by a bottom wall and a multilobular contour that defines a flat peripheral outer edge of the recess to flex transition portions and retention flaps of the carrier that fit under the rim of the cans;
• said recess including a central area from which as many lobes project as the number of cans to be grouped with the same carrier to form a package;
• where said lobes correspond to multiple and successive walls in an arc shape;
• and because the lower confining component includes a quadrangular body with at least one confining cavity of multilobular contour, with as many spacer lobes as the number of cans to be confined to form a package, where, to intentionally create a spacing between the cans, the distance between the central axes of adjacent spacer lobes is greater than the distance between the central axes of adjacent thin cans.
