DESCRIPTION
Drinks cans opened by a simple lever device which is attached to the can top and can be used to detach a tongue-like portion of the can top defined by a preincision are very common. On opening, this tongue-like portion is bent in or otherwise manipulated to enable the liquid to be emptied out. The removal of the drink is an unhygienic process because the liquid touches surfaces of the can top that are exposed during the various handling operations and during storage; these conditions become worse when the drink is sipped directly by placing the lips on the top of the can.
US Pat. N. 4.708257 discloses a hygienic barrier for drinks cans, which consists of a film applied to the annular rim and able to be removed or torn so that the opening device can be operated.
The invention relates to a multiple pack of drinks cans, each of said cans being provided with a hygienic barrier as defined above, and the said cans being arranged side by side in a geometrical arrangement.
According to the invention, said multiple pack comprises a film that is applied to the annular rims of the tops of the cans and that can be torn to separate the portion of film belonging to each can, when the cans are separated from each other; the individual portion of film applied to the annular rim of each can can in turn be removed or torn so sthat the opening device can be operated.
Other characteristics of the invention are defined in the enclosed claims.
The invention will be understood more fully by following the description and examining the attached drawing, which latter shows a practical, nonrestrictive example of the invention. In the drawing Fig. 1 shows a drinks can provided with its own hygienic barrier, partly in section;

Figs 4 and 5 show views on the plane IV-V in Fig. 3 for two alternative embodiments;

Fig. 8 is a cross section on VIII-VIII in Fig. 7;
and Figs 9, 10 and 11 are schematics showing successive stages in a process for forming the hygienic barriers.
As is illustrated in the drawing, 1 denotes individual typical drinks cans. These have a bottom lA, a top 1B surrounded by an annular rim 1C of limited upward projection, and a typical opening device 3 which is attached to the outer upper surface of the top 1B; the device 3 can be manipulated so as to tear a preincised line 1D around a portion of the metal sheet of the top 1H so as to create an access opening in the can through which the drink can be removed; this opening is usually created by deforming a tongue lE, which is bounded by the preincision 1D in the material of the top 1B and is bent in, or torn off altogether or otherwise deformed. When the drink is sipped directly and also when the drink is poured out through the opening produced by the tearing of the top 1H, there is a danger of contamination of the drink (and also of the lips, when drinking directly from the can) and hence a lack of hygiene for the user.
To prevent this problem, which is generated by the possible and frequent accumulation of dirt (dust, splashes of liquid and so forth) that can form on the outer surface of the top 1B after the article has been produced in the factory, not only before the cans are made up into packs of several cans (if this is done) but also after such a pack ~4~'E,'~ 7 SHEET

is opened for subsequent use of the individual cans, the top 18 is covered and protected with an easily removable or tearable film 5 which is applied to the annular rim 1C that surrounds said top 1H and which typically forms part of the structure of the can 1.
According to the invention, this film 5 is applied in the manufacturing or packaging factory, and therefore under the hygiene conditions used in the preparation for canning purposes of the drinks that are contained in such cans. When the can reaches the final consumer, he or she can tear away the film 5 to get at the opening device 3 and detach the tongue lE from the preincision 1D in the material of the top 1B by which this tongue is defined. The user therefore can sip the drink directly through the resulting opening because of the complete hygiene of the surfaces that may come into contact with both the drink and the lips, when said drink is sipped or poured out.
The film 5 may be applied with the aid of an adhesive, such as a food grade wax, glue or mastic or the like, which is applied to the tip of the rim 1C, so that said adhesive provides sufficiently secure adhesion for the film 5, which may be either torn or detached from the rim 1C when the contents of the can are to be consumed. The film 5 may be applied directly by heat-sealing, being a thermoplastic resin of stretchable type or of heat-shrink type or other type, and usually and advantageously of food grade.
Cans coming from the manufacturing factory are usually packed in a plurality of adjacent items, to form a particular geometrical volume, generally of rectangular form consisting of for example, 24 cans in four rows of six cans each, or other equivalent packaging. In the multiple pack system of the aforesaid type, it is provided for an application of one film to all the cans arranged together for their packaging. As can be seen in particular in Figs.
3 ff, a film 7 can be laid over the plurality of adjacent cans and this film 7 is applied to the rims 1C of the various cans, which are approximately coplanar with each AP~~tiv~ED SHEET

other, by an easily devised process of application either with a mastic or by a system of compression sealing or heat sealing with the material of the film itself. The film 7 has to be cut to separate the various cans which remain protected by a film similar to the film 5 taken from a corresponding portion of the film 7. To facilitate separation of the various portions of the film 7 that correspond to the individual adjacent cans, partial incisions or lines of weakness may be included in the film 7 in the spaces between the rims 1C of the various cans. As illustrated in Fig. 4, circumferential incisions 9 may be formed to define portions of the film 7 in essentially circular forms, which must be kept on the separated cans until the time of final use. As illustrated in Fig. 5, partial incisions 10 or lines of weakness where tearing can be started, which are straight and parallel to the rows of cans, may be provided. In either case it is easy to separate the various cans while keeping the various portions of the film 7 stuck to the rims 1C of the individual cans.
The film 7 can also be applied after making the plurality of cans up into a pack inside a box container (tray) such as 12 shown in Fig. 6, which is made from a board material such as corrugated board or the like, or on a trough container as denoted by 14 in Figs. 7 and 8 with a flat part 14A on which the cans stand and with walls 14B
running along the long sides of the rectangle formed by the plurality of aligned cans, for purposes of containment and stiffening. A packaging structure similar to 12 or 14 may even be limited to one layer of board or equivalent material such as the portion 14A of the structure 14 shown in Figs. 7 and 8. The plurality of cans in the abovementioned geometrical arrangement and with the optional container 12 or 14, or equivalent, can be enclosed in a film, for example a heat-shrink film or stretchable film that completely encloses the abovementioned multiple pack. This protective wrapping can be formed after the application of the film 7, which serves for the hygienic A~~~ti~C~D S~-1~ET

purposes indicated above, but it is also possible for the same film used for the overall protective wrapping of the pack to be used a~ the protective film 7 as well, which will in this case again be preincised or otherwise prepared as indicated by 9 or 10 in Figs. 4 and 5 to enable the individual cans to be separated, each can still having a protective film such as 5, formed in this case from a single film such as 7 which actually forms part of the abovementioned wrapping.
Figs. 9 through 11 illustrate stages in a possible application procedure for a multiple pack.
In Fig. 9 the numeral 51 indicates an apparatus for wetting the annular rims 16 of the cans with a glue, a mastic or the like.

Drinks cans opened by a simple lever device which is attached to the can top and can be used to detach a tongue-like portion of the can top defined by a preincision are very common. On opening, this tongue-like portion is bent in or otherwise manipulated to enable the liquid to be emptied out. The removal of the drink is an unhygienic process because the liquid touches surfaces of the can top that are exposed during the various handling operations and during storage; these conditions become worse when the drink is sipped directly by placing the lips on the top of the can.
US Pat. N. 4.708257 discloses a hygienic barrier for drinks cans, which consists of a film applied to the annular rim and able to be removed or torn so that the opening device can be operated.
The invention relates to a multiple pack of drinks cans, each of said cans being provided with a hygienic barrier as defined above, and the said cans being arranged side by side in a geometrical arrangement.
According to the invention, said multiple pack comprises a film that is applied to the annular rims of the tops of the cans and that can be torn to separate the portion of film belonging to each can, when the cans are separated from each other; the individual portion of film applied to the annular rim of each can can in turn be removed or torn so sthat the opening device can be operated.
Other characteristics of the invention are defined in the enclosed claims.
The invention will be understood more fully by following the description and examining the attached drawing, which latter shows a practical, nonrestrictive example of the invention. In the drawing Fig. 1 shows a drinks can provided with its own hygienic barrier, partly in section;

As is illustrated in the drawing, 1 denotes individual typical drinks cans. These have a bottom lA, a top 1B surrounded by an annular rim 1C of limited upward projection, and a typical opening device 3 which is attached to the outer upper surface of the top 1B; the device 3 can be manipulated so as to tear a preincised line 1D around a portion of the metal sheet of the top 1H so as to create an access opening in the can through which the drink can be removed; this opening is usually created by deforming a tongue lE, which is bounded by the preincision 1D in the material of the top 1B and is bent in, or torn off altogether or otherwise deformed.

is opened for subsequent use of the individual cans, the top 18 is covered and protected with an easily removable or tearable film 5 which is applied to the annular rim 1C that surrounds said top 1H and which typically forms part of the structure of the can 1.
According to the invention, this film 5 is applied in the manufacturing or packaging factory, and therefore under the hygiene conditions used in the preparation for canning purposes of the drinks that are contained in such cans. When the can reaches the final consumer, he or she can tear away the film 5 to get at the opening device 3 and detach the tongue lE from the preincision 1D in the material of the top 1B by which this tongue is defined. The user therefore can sip the drink directly through the resulting opening because of the complete hygiene of the surfaces that may come into contact with both the drink and the lips, when said drink is sipped or poured out.
The film 5 may be applied with the aid of an adhesive, such as a food grade wax, glue or mastic or the like, which is applied to the tip of the rim 1C, so that said adhesive provides sufficiently secure adhesion for the film 5, which may be either torn or detached from the rim 1C when the contents of the can are to be consumed.

other, by an easily devised process of application either with a mastic or by a system of compression sealing or heat sealing with the material of the film itself. The film 7 has to be cut to separate the various cans which remain protected by a film similar to the film 5 taken from a corresponding portion of the film 7. To facilitate separation of the various portions of the film 7 that correspond to the individual adjacent cans, partial incisions or lines of weakness may be included in the film 7 in the spaces between the rims 1C of the various cans. As illustrated in Fig. 4, circumferential incisions 9 may be formed to define portions of the film 7 in essentially circular forms, which must be kept on the separated cans until the time of final use. As illustrated in Fig. 5, partial incisions 10 or lines of weakness where tearing can be started, which are straight and parallel to the rows of cans, may be provided. In either case it is easy to separate the various cans while keeping the various portions of the film 7 stuck to the rims 1C of the individual cans.
The film 7 can also be applied after making the plurality of cans up into a pack inside a box container (tray) such as 12 shown in Fig. 6, which is made from a board material such as corrugated board or the like, or on a trough container as denoted by 14 in Figs. 7 and 8 with a flat part 14A on which the cans stand and with walls 14B
running along the long sides of the rectangle formed by the plurality of aligned cans, for purposes of containment and stiffening. A packaging structure similar to 12 or 14 may even be limited to one layer of board or equivalent material such as the portion 14A of the structure 14 shown in Figs. 7 and 8. The plurality of cans in the abovementioned geometrical arrangement and with the optional container 12 or 14, or equivalent, can be enclosed in a film, for example a heat-shrink film or stretchable film that completely encloses the abovementioned multiple pack.
