Definitions
- the invention relates to an attachment that can be used as a drinking and pouring aid for a beverage can according to the preamble of the independent claim.
- Canned drinks are an integral part of everyday life.
- the cans generally used for this are usually cylindrical and have a tear-open or indentation flap on their upper end face, by means of which the consumer can break a removal opening into the end face. Drinking from such cans is not for everyone and is not easy and convenient in every situation. In addition, most cans can usually not be closed again, which is also a certain handicap in practical use.
- auxiliary devices A number of more or less sophisticated auxiliary devices have already become known which are intended to facilitate and simplify the handling of such beverage cans and in particular the drinking from them.
- These auxiliary devices consist at least of a lid which can be placed tightly on the can and on which a tubular pouring spout is arranged, which serves as a mouthpiece for drinking.
- a major deficiency of these auxiliary devices can be seen in the fact that they are relatively bulky and therefore practically cannot be stored and sold together with cans.
- the storage of such auxiliary devices separately from the cans is impractical and not very user-friendly, particularly in the case of such mass consumer goods as beverage cans.
- these known auxiliary devices also do not offer an easy way to temporarily securely close an opened can again. The known auxiliary devices have therefore never really prevailed in practice and have been able to find widespread use.
- the present invention is intended to overcome this difficulty and to improve a can attachment of the generic type that can be used as a drinking and pouring aid in such a way that on the one hand it offers optimum comfort in use and on the other hand it is extremely space-saving, so that it does not have any particular problems Measures can be sold together with a beverage can and stored at the consumer.
- the solution to this problem on which the invention is based results from the features described in the characterizing part of independent claim 1. Particularly advantageous refinements and developments are the subject of the dependent claims.
- FIG. 1 shows an oblique view of a first exemplary embodiment of the can attachment according to the invention with the pouring spout pulled out and the closure cap removed,
- FIG. 2 is an oblique view of the attachment of FIG. 1 with the pouring spout and the closure cap attached, FIG.
- FIG. 3 shows an oblique view of a one-piece assembly of four can attachments according to FIG. 1,
- FIG. 4 shows an oblique view of the assembly of FIG. 3 in connection with four beverage cans on which the attachments are fastened
- FIG. 5 shows a side detailed view of several stacked beverage cans, each of which is held together by a composite according to FIG. 3,
- FIG. 6 shows an oblique view of a second exemplary embodiment of the can attachment according to the invention analogous to FIG. 1,
- FIG. 7 shows an oblique view of the second embodiment analogous to FIG. 2,
- FIG. 8 shows an oblique view of a one-piece assembly of four can attachments according to FIG. 6,
- FIG. 9 shows a sectional view of the can attachment according to FIG. 1 in the state placed on a beverage can and
- FIGS. 1, 2 and 9 show a sectional illustration of a third exemplary embodiment of the can attachment according to the invention.
- the can attachment shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 9 essentially consists of a lid D with an essentially flat, circular disk-shaped lid base 1.
- a circumferential apron 2 extends from the lid base 1 downwards (based on the normal use) .
- This circumferential apron 2 forms elastic clamping means which, when placed on a beverage can T, grips the flanged edge R of the latter elastically from the outside and thus tightly and sufficiently firmly, but releasably with the can C, the lid D or essay in a manner known per se connect.
- an elastic circumferential groove can also be provided, which takes up the flanged edge R and clamps it resiliently.
- the fastening of the lid D to the beverage can C or its flanged edge R, illustrated in the sectional illustration in FIG. 9, is conventional per se and therefore requires no further explanation for the person skilled in the art.
- cover D In order to be able to handle the cover D easily and conveniently, in particular for removal from the can C, it is provided on its circumference with a circumferential flange 3 which extends radially outwards and is somewhat stiffer.
- a pouring spout 4 is provided in the lid base 1 in the vicinity of its peripheral edge, which extends substantially perpendicularly to the lid base from the top and is essentially conical in its lower section closer to the lid base and substantially cylindrical in its upper section is.
- the opening edge of the pouring spout 4 is wall-reinforced by a bead 4a.
- the pouring spout 4 includes a closure cap 5, which is fastened to the peripheral flange 3 by means of an elastic bracket 5b and is thus captively connected to the cover D.
- the closure cap 5 is provided on its inside with an undercut 5a which is essentially the same as the bulge 4a and which together with the bulge 4a forms an elastic snap connection, by means of which the closure cap 5 is attached to the pouring spout 4 in a sealed and detachable manner.
- the pouring spout 4 is designed to be elastically deformable (slipable) by suitable choice of material and a comparatively smaller wall thickness, so that it extends from the extended state shown in FIG. 1 by axial compression in the regions shown in FIG. showed compressed condition can be transferred and vice versa.
- the closure cap 5 placed on the pouring spout is essentially in contact with the lid base 1.
- the clamping action of the snap connection between pouring spout 4 and closure cap 5 is dimensioned sufficiently so that the pouring spout 4 is pulled by the pulling cap firmly compressed state can be deformed into its extended state.
- the pouring spout 4 is still so stiff in the extended state that the closure cap 5 can be snapped onto it without any problems. This can be easily achieved through a suitable choice of material, shape and dimensioning of the wall thickness.
- the lid D or its bottom 1 there is also an essentially cylindrical stacking collar 6 which extends (in normal position of use) from the lid bottom 1 upwards.
- the height of the stacking collar 6 is dimensioned such that it projects to at least the top of the closure cap 5 or just above it when the closure cap 5 is seated on the pouring spout 4 and this is in its compressed state, as shown in FIG. 2.
- the closure cap 5 is located completely within the space enclosed by the stacking collar 6 or does not protrude beyond the stacking collar 6.
- the stacking collar 6 is also interrupted or formed lower in the area of the pouring spout 4, which facilitates access to the pouring spout 4 when drinking.
- the pouring spout 4 is compressed as shown in FIG. 2, so that the can top has an extremely flat shape.
- a beverage can C is first opened by means of the breaker provided for it - usually a pull or push tab. Then the can top is placed on it, as shown in FIG. 6 with the aid of a somewhat modified exemplary embodiment, and then the pouring spout 4 is pulled out by means of the closure cap 5 and the closure cap 5 is removed. Because of the compact flat design of the attachment in its original condition, it can also be mounted on the beverage can on the bottling side and sold together with it. In this case, the attachment is temporarily removed before use, the can is opened and then the attachment is reattached to the can.
- the pouring spout 4 can be closed again by means of the closure cap 5, so that on the one hand nothing can be spilled and on the other hand hygienic storage of the beverage residue is ensured. Insects are also kept away from the drink. With suitable dimensions and placement of the pouring spout as close as possible to the circumference, very simple and convenient drinking from a can is possible.
- the stacking collar 6 ensures that several cans can be stacked one on top of the other.
- Figure 5 illustrates this in an impressive manner.
- the lid base 1 is used as a labeling surface e.g. suitable for product advertising.
- the entire attachment is preferably made in one piece from a suitable, food-compatible plastic.
- FIGS. 6-8 show a slightly modified embodiment of the can top according to the invention.
- the lid base 1 is equipped with an approximately kidney-shaped window 1 a through which, with the attachment of the attachment on the can, oriented accordingly, directly onto the breaker L underneath it on the end face of the can C. can be accessed.
- the attachment does not need to be removed from the can to open the can.
- the can attachment according to the invention is eminently suitable for the formation of multiple packs (“multi packs”).
- multi packs two or more, for example about four lids D or can attachments are joined to form a substantially flat, one-piece composite V, as illustrated in FIGS. 3-5 and 8.
- the connection is preferably made in the plane of the radial peripheral flanges 3 in the form of a flat plate 7.
- predetermined breaking lines 8 are provided in a manner known per se, which ensure the tool-free separation (separation) of the individual can attachments.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 show how four beverage cans C are joined together to form a quadruple pack with the aid of a four-part can top assembly V.
- the composite V holds the four beverage cans together and therefore forms a holding device for the same.
- a finger hole 9 left in the plate 7 serves as a carrying aid.
- a differently designed support member could also be provided instead of the finger hole.
- the exemplary embodiment of the can attachment according to the invention shown in FIG. 10 differs from the other exemplary embodiments essentially only in that the peripheral apron 2 is shaped in such a way that it forms two concentric circumferential grooves 2a and 2b, so that the cover D on cans of different diameters can be attached.
- the circumferential skirt 2 or the circumferential grooves 2a and 2b can be designed to be somewhat stretchable in the radial direction.
- the parts of the circumferential apron 2 engaging behind the flanged edge of the can do not have to be continuous in the circumferential direction, but can also be of interrupted design. If necessary, more than two concentric circumferential grooves can also be provided.
- the pouring spout 4 is largely covered by a membrane 4b.
- the membrane 4b is covered by e.g. zigzag-shaped slit 4c broken.
- insects with the cap 5 removed
- insects are prevented from entering the pouring spout 4 and further into the can.
- the membrane 4b like the lid base 1, can be used as a labeling surface e.g. be used for product advertising, whereby the shape of the slot 4c can also be included as a design element.
- the can attachment according to the invention is extremely compact, can be manufactured inexpensively and ensures optimum convenience in handling and use.
