Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for a beverage can as disclosed in the preamble of claim 1.
- the point of departure for the present invention is to provide in connection with beverage cans a best possible covering of the top and/or bottom of the can, so that there is no likelihood of primarily the top part of the can becoming contaminated with dirt, dust or the like around the pouring aperture of the can, whilst ensuring that the can is capable of being stacked, and also that use of the external bottom area of the can is possible.
- US Patent 4,927,048 relates to a beverage can having a sanitary cover which is designed to rest over the top portion of the can and the fold around the folded edge between the cylindrical part of the can and its top.
- the sanitary cover must in its orientation be in alignment with the position of the pouring aperture of the can, so that when the cover is torn off, the pouring aperture and the aperture generating pull means are exposed. In an automation process this will require relatively expensive equipment in order to ensure that the mutual orientation is made possible, whilst the folding operation will cause a reduction in the production rate.
- US Patent 5,273,176 relates to a solution where a cover capable of being pivoted upwards can be provided over the top of the can, and where the edges of the cover extend beyond the periphery of the can top.
- the cover has a through-going hole for a straw and is designed to be positioned such that relative to the pouring aperture of the can, said hole in the cover corresponds to the pouring aperture when this has been opened.
- the object of the taught solution is also to be able to close the cover after drinking from the can with the aid of the straw.
- a disadvantage of this known solution is that the stackability of the cans is affected, whilst arrangement in connection with, e.g., a six-pack, is rendered virtually impossible owing to the reduced attachment flange on the can.
- US Patent 5,139,163 relates to a solution reminiscent of that taught in US Patent 5,273,176.
- clustering e.g., a six-pack
- the cover is provided with a tear-off means to make the pouring aperture of the can and its pull means accessible.
- a proportional, mutual orientation between the positioned cover and the pouring aperture of the can is required if the user is to enjoy the benefits the cover is intended to give.
- a solution of this kind is difficult to combine with an automated process.
- US Patent 4,708,257 describes a beverage can with a seal which is adhered or shrunk onto the top of the can to prevent the top of the can from being contaminated.
- the seal may consist of a circular, thin film or foil which curls up where it is torn open from one side.
- US Patent 4,651,890 makes known a solution wherein on the underside of the can there is provided a tear-open pouch containing a moist wipe means for cleaning the top of the beverage can prior to drinking directly from the can.
- US Patent 1,879,517 relates to a can, jar or the like, where the top or bottom of the can is provided with a further lid or cover in addition to the real lid and cover, and where this additional lid or cover may contain an article of some kind.
- US Patent 3,638,787 relates to a special package for packing several cans together in addition to a fragile unit of some kind which is not a part of the actual cans, but is hidden by the packaging. This solution is particularly well suited in connection with packing fragile articles which cannot be packed mechanically.
- US Patent 3,112,824 relates to a can or bottle wherein the top of the can or bottle is provided with a cover which may contain an article of some kind.
- US Patent 4,917,258 relates to a lid which can be snapped on to a beverage can.
- US Patent 2,804,201 relates to a solution whereby a lid can be placed on the top of a can which incorporates a can opener key, and where the lid when turned can be brought into engagement with the handle of the can opener key.
- US Patent 2,120,403 relates to a solution where some form of advertising matter may be provided on the actual can opener key which is secured in a conventional manner to the top of the can, whereupon the top of the can may be covered with a lid.
- This lid is shown having various types of design where it is possible to allow the space between the lid and the cavity of the can to contain an article of some kind.
- European Patent Publication 404 734 shows a further illustration of the state of the art, where the edge of a beverage can may be provided with a snap-on drinking lip so that the person drinking from the can does not come into direct contact with the metal of the beverage can, whilst the device also enables a certain covering of the exposed aperture leading into the cavity of the can, which may be practical if there is a desire to temporarily close the can.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a solution in connection with a beverage can, whereby the cover which is to be arranged on the top surface of the can is capable of being attached in a simple manner.
- an object of the present invention is to provide solutions where a covering of the pouring aperture of the can may be combined with other advantages, whilst at the same time other possibilities have been discovered with the present invention for the use of surfaces on a beverage can of this kind.
- the cover 24 is intended for a beverage can 25, preferably of the stackable type, wherein the top of the can has a depressed portion 26 with a further recessed rim along the inner wall 28 of the depressed portion.
- the can is in a known way designed to have a detachable section connected to a pouring aperture generating pull means 30.
- the cover is designed to fit into the depressed portion 26 and has a cavity 24' or a recess in its back.
- the wall 28 of the depressed portion surrounds and substantially bears against the periphery of the cover over at least a part of its axial extent.
- the bead 32 is to advantage made of a material which, when the cover 24 is pressed down into the depressed portion 26 and vacuum is actuated simultaneously, is subjected to a lateral expansion into the recessed rim 27, thereby obtaining improved adhesion and sealing, so that said vacuum between the cover 24 and the depressed portion 26, 37 of the can is maintained.
- the recessed rim 27 can be provided with an adhesive 34 in order to further secure said vacuum through increased adhesion between the rim 27 and the bead 32 of the cover.
- the cover is provided with a tear-off flap 33, which causes said vacuum between the cover 24 and the depressed portion 26, 27 of the can to be eliminated when the flap is torn off, whereby the bead 32 is released from the recessed rim 27, allowing the cover 24 and its optional content (not shown) to be removed.
- the present invention does not only make possible the covering of the pouring aperture of a beverage can, and the application of advertising or information on a cover which is located on the top or at the bottom of the beverage can 1 or in both places, but also allows the said covers to contain objects or samples in liquid or solid form.
- supplying units in, e.g., three-packs, four-packs, six-packs or the like it will be understood that it will be possible to attach beverage cans 1 and their respective covers 13, 13' to one another in a simple manner and also in this way ensure that the drinking edge is either covered or optionally can be cleaned with a wipe which is found in the cavity or recess of the cover.
- the cover 13 is arranged to cover the depressed bottom portion 37 of the can.
- the cover 13 may conceivably instead cover the depressed top portion 6 of the can.
- the assembly of the can 1 and cover 13 is then surrounded by an upwardly open container 35, preferably made in the form of a drinking glass of plastic or glass.
- the drinking glass may be made of a transparent, translucent or opaque material.
- the outer surface of the glass may optionally be provided with decoration, ornament, information or advertising material.
- a sealing means 36 which is detachable, e.g., by tearing off.
- the sealing means may, e.g., be a band of heat shrinkable material, a sealing sleeve, a sealing tape, e.g., an adhesive tape.
- the sealing means 36 rests in sealing contact with a peripheral portion 1''' of the can 1/cover 13 assembly, e.g., a portion 1''' of the can as indicated in Fig. 5.
- a type of cover as shown and described in connection with Figs. 1 to 3 could be provided in the recessed portion 6 of the can 1 or in the recessed portion 38 of the cover 13 depending upon whether it is the can 1 or the cover 13 which is uppermost in the can 1/cover 13 assembly.
- a can 1 containing a beverage cover 13 containing another beverage or a foodstuff in solid form, e.g., peanuts, and a drinking glass 35.
