Definitions

• the invention relates to a beverage can with a tear-open tab for opening a removal opening, in particular in the lid.
• Drinks such as colas, beer, fruit juices or lemonades
• a bottom part which is mostly made of sheet metal, is connected to a cylindrical wall part, on the upper edge of which an o lid part is crimped.
• the cover part has an embossment in which a grip piece of a tear-open tab is accommodated, which is riveted to the cover part, and comprises a thinner cover area. By pulling the handle part 5, the tab is torn out of the cover part and opens a removal opening. The drink is then either drunk directly from the can or poured from the can into a drinking vessel.
• Such beverage cans are offered, for example, in self-service shops, on shelves or on shelves, freely accessible to everyone. This can lead to contamination.
• the cans can also become dusty or otherwise dirty. Drinking from such cans is therefore very unsanitary.
• the edge of the removal opening is sharp-edged and there is therefore a risk of injury to the user.
• impurities e.g. Small insects or the like penetrate into the inside of the can.
• the invention has the object 'of designing the beverage cans of the known type in such a manner 5 that the respective beverage is protected in the beverage can also with enabled removal opening against impurities and the removal is made possible in hygie ⁇ nical manner, Verletzungs ⁇ possibilities for the user excluded are.
• this object is essentially achieved in the case of a beverage can of the type described at the outset in that an elastic removal spout protruding through the removal opening is provided.
• the removal spout is preferably attached to the inner edge of the removal opening.
• the removal nozzle is formed in one piece with a carrier disk.
• the support disk is crimped with the lid of the beverage can.
• the removal spout in particular with the support disk, is filled in after the liquid has been poured into the can
• the elastic spout is located in the area below the tear tab.
• the removal spout is provided with an optionally attachable closure part.
• An elastic plug which can be inserted or screwed into the removal spout is preferably used as the closure part.
• the closure part is designed as a screw cap which has a threaded part and the removal nozzle is provided with a corresponding threaded section. It is particularly expedient if the screw cap has an internal thread and the removal nozzle 5 has an external thread.
• a cover which can be clamped onto the removal spout ' serves as the closure part.
• the cover is connected to the removal spout via a tab.
• a closure part which can be inserted into the removal opening is provided, the removal spout being pressed into the interior of the beverage can after each use and the removal opening being temporarily closed directly by the closure part.
• the removal spout again extends through the removal opening onto the outer top side of the cover.
• FIG. 1 is a beverage can according to the invention in a perspective view
• Fig. 2 shows a cross section of the can according
• Fig. 1 along I-I Fig. 3 is a partial view with a closure part for the removal spout
• Fig. 4 is a screw cap as a closure part for the removal spout
• Fig. 5 is a plug as a closure part for o the removal spout.
• a beverage can 1 in a manner known per se, consisting of 5 a base part 2, a cylindrical wall part 3 and a cover part 4 connected to the cylindrical wall part 3 by a flanged edge 5 has a tear tab 16 which, after being opened, opens a removal opening 8.
• the pull tab 16 o is provided with a grip ring 17 and fastened to the cover part 4 with a rivet 18.
• a removal spout 6 made of elastic material which, when the beverage can 1 is closed, ie as long as the removal opening is not yet open, is located inside the beverage can 1.
• the removal spout 6 penetrates the removal opening 8 due to its elastic forces and projects upward beyond the cover part 4 from the beverage can.
• the removal spout 6 is preferably conical. For example, it can also be shaped in a step-like manner. 5 From Fig. 2 it can be seen that the removal spout 6 e in a preferred embodiment, connected to a support plate 7, in particular is integrally formed.
• the support disk 7 is ⁇ crimped together with the cover part 4.
• the exemplary embodiment is particularly advantageous since it is not necessary to close the removal spout 6 on the lid 4 before the beverage can 1 is finally finished. fasten. Rather, the
• a support plate 7 with removal nozzle 6 is shown schematically, in perspective.
• a closure part in the form of a clamping cover 10 is shown, which is connected, for example, to the removal spout 6 with a connecting tab 11. This makes it possible to open the ⁇ removal opening 9- after opening the beverage can * 1. to close the dispensing spout 6 again, so that contamination of the contents of the can is excluded.
• closure part 4 shows a modified exemplary embodiment of the closure part, the closure part being designed as a screw cap 12, preferably with an internal thread 13, which cooperates with an external thread 14 on the removal nozzle 6.
• the closure part consists of a stopper 15, which can be used optionally in the opening of the removal nozzle 6. It is also possible to close the removal opening 8 in the lid part 4 with a 0 separate closure member 20, wherein the Ent Cyprustülle 6 is pressed prior to closing of the opening 8 again in the interior of the beverage can. 1 When the closure part 20 is removed from the removal opening 8, the removal spout 6 5 again emerges from the beverage can 1 through the removal opening 8 due to its elastic forces.
