Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION INNOVATION PATENT
CONVERT-A-CAN
The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me.
CONVERT-A-CAN
An alternative method of drinking beverages IE: Beer, Mixed Drinks and Soft Drinks from a can.
The current method of drinking the contents of a beverage can is either to pour into another vessel, use a straw or drink directly from the can by placing your mouth over the edge and open hole on the top of the can, the latter is not a pleasant way to drink from a can but is socially acceptable.
The Convert-a-can has been designed to provide a pleasant and convenient way of drinking from a beverage can with an inexpensive, disposable or reusable plastic cup, that can be attached to the top of a beverage can in a matter of one or two seconds once the ring pull on the can has been opened, converting the can to a perfect medium to drink from.
It would be used at BBQ'S, large gatherings, parties, conventions, child and family gatherings, home use and anywhere that drinking from a beverage can would be made a more pleasurable experience particularly when juggling food while standing.
The Convert-a-can would be pushed on to the rim of the can by hand which in turn would provide a fixed and secure method of drinking due to the design of the Convert-a-can's lower rim.
The Convert-a-can would be manufactured from clear food grade plastic and/or acrylic as a disposable unit or from food grade clear or solid colour plastic or acrylic as a reusable product.
The invention may be better understood with reference to the illustrations of embodiments of the invention.
2 Figure 1 is an elevation of the Convert-a-can showing a separation between it and a beverage can.
Figure 2 is an elevation of the Convert-a-can showing it in the fixed position on a beverage can.
Figure 3 is showing the bottom edge of the Convert-a-can with a flanged gripping ring or collar on the interior of the bottom edge for ensuring a tight water proof seal.
Figure 4 is showing a cutaway of the interior of the Convert-a-can.
The attachable cup as shown is cylindrical with the bottom open so that it fits the design of the can with the gripping ring or collar on the interior bottom edge providing a tight seal.
Claims (4)
1. A Convert-a-can drinking aid comprising a cylindrical container the shape of a cup/glass open at the top and bottom with straight or sloping sides.
2. A Convert-a-can as claimed in claim 1 wherein the container has a flanged gripping ring or collar on the lower section which allows for retaining the Convert-a can tightly over the top rim of a can but the Convert-a-can remains removable at all times.
3. A Convert-a-can according to any claims 1 and 2 wherein the container is made from food grade plastic or acrylic.
4. A Convert-a-can according to any of one of the claims 1-3 wherein it has a flanged gripping ring or collar on the lower section thereon. A Convert-a-can substantially as herein before described with reference to figures 1-4 of the accompanying drawings. CONVERT-A-CAN 2 JUNE 2003 MAATON ENTERPRISES ANTHONY CLARIDGE
