Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Getränkedose mit einem oberen Dosenwulst, der eine durch ein Verschlussteil verschlossene Dosenöffnung umgibt, und insbesondere eine Getränkedose, wie sie gemeinhin für Bier, Limonade und ähnliche Getränke üblich ist.The invention relates to a beverage can with an upper Can bead, one closed by a fastener Can opening surrounds, and in particular a beverage can, such as they are commonly used for beer, lemonade and similar drinks is.

Die üblichen Getränkedosen, die alkoholfreie Getränke oder Bier enthalten, bestehen aus einem Behälter aus tiefgezogenem Aluminiumblech oder Weißblech. An der Oberwand befindet sich ein ausbrechbares Verschlussteil, das mit den übrigen Bereichen der Oberwand längs einer Sollbruchstelle verbunden ist. Die Oberwand ist durch einen hochstehenden Dosenkragen, der als Bördelrand ausgebildet ist, an dem Behälter befestigt. Zum Öffnen der Getränkedose wird ein mit dem ausbrechbaren Verschlussteil verbundener Griff hochgedrückt und anschließend gezogen, wodurch das Verschlussteil entlang einer Sollbruchlinie abreißt, um die Dosenöffnung freizugeben. Bei Getränkedosen erfolgt in der Regel das Trinken unmittelbar aus der Dose, also ohne dass der Doseninhalt zunächst in ein Glas umgeschüttet wird. Beim unmittelbaren Trinken aus der Dose kommt die Oberlippe mit dem Rand der Dosenöffnung in Berührung. Dabei können Verunreinigungen an die Oberlippe gelangen und dort Infektionen auslösen. Da der Rand der Dosenöffnung scharfkantig ist, können auch Verletzungen der Oberlippe hervorgerufen werden. Insgesamt ist das Trinken aus einer derartigen Getränkedose unappetitlich und zum Teil sogar gefährlich.The usual beverage cans, the soft drinks or beer included, consist of a container made of deep-drawn Aluminum sheet or tinplate. Is located on the top wall a break-out closure part that matches the other areas the top wall is connected along a predetermined breaking point. The The top wall is covered by a raised can collar, which is called Flanged edge is formed, attached to the container. To the The beverage can is opened with the break-out Locked part of the connected handle pushed up and then pulled, causing the closure member along a The breaking line breaks to reveal the can opening. at Beverage cans are usually immediately drinkable the can, i.e. without the contents of the can first in a glass is poured over. When drinking straight from the can the upper lip comes into contact with the edge of the can opening. Contamination can get to the upper lip and trigger infections there. Because the edge of the can opening sharp edges can also injure the upper lip are caused. Overall, drinking from one Such beverage can unsavory and sometimes even dangerous.

Aus DE 201 16 724 U1 ist eine Getränkedose bekannt, bei der der Dosenkragen, der die Oberwand umgibt, hochgezogen ist, wodurch verhindert wird, dass beim Trinken die Lippen gegen den Rand der Öffnung gepresst werden müssen. Dies erfordert die Konstruktion und Herstellung eigener Getränkedosen mit hochgezogenem Dosenkragen. Der Dosenkragen behindert den Zugriff zum Griff des Verschlussteils. Derartige Getränkedosen haben einen vergrößerten Platzbedarf, insbesondere bei Stapelung, Lagerung und Transport.From DE 201 16 724 U1 a beverage can is known in which the Can collar surrounding the top wall is pulled up, causing prevents the lips from drinking against the edge when drinking the opening must be pressed. This requires the Design and manufacture of own beverage cans with raised can collar. The can collar hinders the Access to the handle of the closure part. Such beverage cans have an increased space requirement, especially with Stacking, storage and transportation.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Getränkedose zu schaffen, bei der ohne das Erfordernis einer Umgestaltung das Trinken aus der Dose erleichtert ist.The invention has for its object to a beverage can create, in which the Drinking from a can is easier.

Hiernach ist ein Trinkaufsatz vorgesehen, der auf den Dosenkragen aufklemmbar ist und daher abnehmbar an der Getränkedose zu befestigen ist. Der Trinkaufsatz stellt ein separates Teil dar, das bei Bedarf bzw. vor Benutzung der Getränkedose auf diese aufgesetzt wird. Der Trinkaufsatz kann aus einem Material hergestellt werden, das von demjenigen der Dose abweicht. Insbesondere ist es günstig, den Trinkaufsatz aus einem Kunststoff herzustellen, während die Dose aus Metallblech besteht. Die Herstellung des Trinkaufsatzes aus Kunststoff hat den Vorteil, dass der Trinkaufsatz auf einfache Weise und in einem einteiligen Fertigungsvorgang hergestellt werden kann und dass ein nicht zu harter Kunststoff gewählt werden kann, der bei Berührung durch die Lippen als angenehm empfunden wird. Der Trinkaufsatz bildet also gewissermaßen einen Becher, der auf die Dose aufgeklemmt wird und der in seiner Bodenwand eine Öffnung aufweist, die mit Dosenöffnung kommuniziert. Der Trinkaufsatz kann entweder auf der Dose sitzend geliefert werden oder als separates Zusatzteil. Es besteht also die Möglichkeit, dass ein Benutzer seinen Trinkaufsatz mit sich führt und ihn bei mehreren Dosen einsetzt. Ferner besteht die Möglichkeit, dass mehrere Personen, die aus einer gemeinsamen Dose trinken, jeweils ihren eigenen Trinkaufsatz benutzen.This object is achieved with the im Claim 1 specified features. After this is a drinking attachment provided that can be clamped on the can collar and therefore can be detachably attached to the beverage can. The Drinking attachment is a separate part, which if necessary or is placed on the beverage can before use. The Drinking attachment can be made from a material that differs from that of the can. In particular, it is convenient to make the drinking attachment from a plastic, while the Tin is made of sheet metal. The production of the Drinking attachment made of plastic has the advantage that the Drinking attachment in a simple way and in one piece Manufacturing process can be made and that a not too hard plastic can be selected, which by touching the lips are felt as pleasant. The drinking attachment forms in a sense a cup that is clipped onto the can is and which has an opening in its bottom wall which with Can opening communicates. The drinking attachment can either be on the can be delivered seated or as a separate one Accessory.

Der Kunde erhält dann mit dem Kauf der Getränkedose nicht nur den Trinkaufsatz, sondern auch eine Portion einer zu dem jeweiligen Getränk passenden Zutat. Vorzugsweise ist der Zusatzbehälter klemmend in die Trinköffnung des Trinkaufsatzes, diese auffüllend, eingesetzt. Er kann dann in einfacher Weise aus dem Zusatzbehälter herausgezogen und anschließend geöffnet werden. Der Zusatzbehälter kann eine aufreißbare Deckwand aufweisen, ähnlich wie dies bei Marmeladenverpackungen der Fall ist. Der Zusatzbehälter besteht insbesondere aus einer tiefgezogenen Folie. Diese kann in üblicher Weise einen flanschartigen Rand aufweisen. Beim Einsetzen des Zusatzbehälters in den Trinkaufsatz stößt der Rand gegen die Trinköffnung, die er seitlich überragt. Durch Angreifen an dem Rand des Zusatzbehälters kann der Zusatzbehälter aus dem Trinkaufsatz herausgezogen werden.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, that the drinking attachment contains an additional container. The Additional containers can contain pastries, for example, such as Salt sticks, mini pretzels or the like. The customer then receives with the purchase of the beverage can not only the drinking attachment, but also a portion of each drink matching ingredient. The additional container is preferably jammed into the drinking opening of the drinking attachment, filling it up, used. He can then easily from the Additional containers are pulled out and then opened. The additional container can have a tear-open top wall, similar to the case with jam packaging.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Trinkaufsatz einen sich auf der Oberwand der Getränkedose abstützenden Trichter enthält, der Flüssigkeit aus der Dosenöffnung zu der Trinköffnung leitet. Der Trichter verhindert, dass auf demjenigen Teil der Dosenoberwand, der die Dosenöffnung umgibt, eine Flüssigkeitsansammlung entstehen kann, die infolge des Dosenkragens nicht abläuft. Der Dosenaufsatz verhindert somit das Verschütten von Flüssigkeitsresten und die damit verbundene Verschmutzung.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention provided that the drinking attachment is on the top wall contains the supporting funnel, the liquid from the can opening to the drinking opening. The funnel prevents that on the part of the can top wall that the Can opening surrounds a liquid build up can, which does not expire due to the can collar. The Can top thus prevents spilling Liquid residues and the associated pollution.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist die am unteren Ende des Trichters vorgesehene Trichteröffnung in Form und Größe so ausgebildet, dass sie der Dosenöffnung im wesentlichen entspricht. Allerdings sollte die Trichteröffnung etwas enger sein als die Dosenöffnung, um jegliche Flüssigkeitsansammlung zu verhindern. In diesem Fall erfolgt das Abstützen des Trichters auf der Oberwand dadurch, dass die Trichteröffnung gegen die Dosenöffnung drückt.It is expedient that it is at the lower end of the funnel designed funnel opening in shape and size, that it essentially corresponds to the can opening. However, the funnel opening should be slightly narrower than that Can opening to prevent any fluid from accumulating. In this case, the funnel is supported on the Top wall in that the funnel opening against the Can opening presses.

Der Trinkaufsatz kann eine Umfangswand mit einem den Dosenkragen knappend hintergreifenden Innenwulst aufweisen. Auf diese Weise wird ein fester Schnappsitz des Trinkaufsatzes auf der Getränkedose ermöglicht.The drinking attachment can have a peripheral wall with a The can collar has a tightly engaging inner bead.
