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.

1. An overcap which allows for a container to be effectively opened in addition to forming a mouth piece for the direct consumption of its content, characterized in that it comprises: i) a base that comprises: A). an inner hollow space, andB). a rim,ii) a concave tab located in the hollow space, which comprises: A). an inner hollow space having an oval shape;B). two end pieces by means of which the concave tab is connected to the base and form a horizontal axis on which said tab rotates;C). a first end (a proximal end) close to an outer edge of the base, which comprises a piercing and cutting means, wherein the piercing means is on an underside of the concave tab, and the cutting means are formed by a corrugation of the edge of the tab; andD). a second end (a distal end) that is convex and close to a center of the base, which comprises holding elements to attach the concave tab to the base when it ends its rotation. 2. The overcap according to claim 1, characterized in that an upper side of the base further comprises support elements which support the second end of the tab when it ends its rotation, forming a mouthpiece. 3. The overcap according to claim 1, characterized in that it further comprises a protective cap attached to the overcap. 4. The overcap according to claim 1, manufactured using polymeric materials, more preferably polypropylene and/or polyethylene. 5. A recipient characterized in that it comprises: i) the overcap according to claim 1, andii) a cap formed by a laminated surface. 6. A recipient according to claim 5, wherein the overcap is attached to the recipient using tape or plastic wrapping. 7. A method for the consumption of the content of a recipient, wherein said method comprises the following steps: A) provide a recipient including: a) a cap formed by a laminated surface, andb) an overcap comprising: i) a base that comprises: an inner hollow space, anda rim, andii) a concave tab located in the hollow space of the base that comprises: an inner hollow space having an oval shape,two end pieces by means of which the concave tab is connected to the base and form a horizontal axis on which said tab rotates,a first end (a proximal end) close to an outer edge of the base, which comprises a piercing and cutting means, wherein the piercing means is on an underside of the concave tab, and the cutting means are formed by a corrugation of the edge of the tab, anda second end (a distal end) that is convex and close to a center of the base, which comprises holding elements to attach the concave tab to the base when it ends its rotation;B) rotate the tab of the overcap so that the piercing and cutting means pierce and pull away the cap of the recipient forming an opening in the surface, and finish its rotation when the distal end touches the support elements in the base;C) attach the tab to the base; andD) finally consume the content of the container using the mouthpiece formed after rotation of the tab.
