Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a carrier adapted to be used for all kinds of drinks and especially for carbonated drinks such as beer cans etc...
  • the can carriers are designed to carry not only the full pack of can but also every single can one by one.
  • the carrier assembly is designed in a detachable manner, as is the practice in the prior art, but also designed with means to carry single cans separately. This is especially advantageous in that one single can may be carried after detaching the same from the rest of the can pack.
  • One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a can carrier suitable for carrying a plurality of cans by one hand in a comfortable and reliable manner.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a can carrier with carrier means suitable for carrying full can pack or any number of cans detached from the rest of the pack as well.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a can carrier occupying a volume not much larger than that of the original product duri ng transport, storage and exhibition, can's bottom surface fitting into the top surface of said can carrier, hence allowing storage of can packs back to back and one above another in a conventional manner.
  • the objects of the present invention are achieved through use of polymer-based circular carrier means mounted on can bodies in the manner to cover their entire top surfaces.
  • the circular carrier means are generally planar, sheet-like structures having integral protruding members and recesses creating a corresponding surface for receiving opposite can surface.
  • Each carrier means is additionally provided with a handle means, normally encircling part of the periphery of said carrier means and separated therefrom by perforations.
  • Each element of a six-element can pack provided in the form of two arrays of three cans in a typical manner, comprises a carrier means provided with a handle means for individual carriage as well as for carriage of the full can assembly by use of any of said handles.
  • Said carrier means are connected to neighboring carriers by perforations along peripheral portions in the parts out of said handle perforations.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective side view of a can carrier comprising a pair of carrier cells with the handle means being not detached from the carrier means.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective side view of a single can carrier cell detached from neighboring carrier cell with the handle means being not detached from the carrier means.
  • Fig. 3 is a top view of a single can carrier cell detached from neighboring carrier cell with the handle means being not detached from the carrier means.
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective side view of a can carrier comprising two pairs of carrier cells with the handle means being not detached from the carrier means.
  • Fig. 5 is a top view of a can carrier comprising one pair of carrier cells with the carrier means and the handle means being not detached from the neighboring carrier cells and from the carrier means respectively.
  • Fig. 6 is a top view of a can carrier comprising three pairs of carrier cells with the carrier means and the handle means being not detached from the neighboring carrier cells and from the carrier means respectively.
  • Fig. 7 is a top view of a can carrier comprising three pairs of carrier cells with only the carrier means located in the middle pair being provided with handle means.
  • Fig. 8 is a top view of a can carrier comprising two pairs of carrier cells with the carrier means and the handle means being not detached from the neighboring carrier cells and from the carrier means respectively.
  • Fig. 9 is a top view of a can carrier comprising one pair of carrier cells with the handle means being detached from the carrier means.
  • Fig. 10 is a side view of a can carrier comprising one pair of carrier cells with the handle means being detached from the carrier means.
  • Fig. 11 is a perspective side view of a can carrier comprising one pair of carrier cells with the handle means being detached from the carrier means.
  • Fig. 12 is an another top side view of a can carrier comprising one pair of carrier cells with the handle means being detached from the carrier means.
  • Fig. 13 is an another side view of a can carrier comprising one pair of carrier cells with the handle means being detached from the carrier means.
  • Fig. 14 is an another perspective side view of a can carrier comprising one pair of carrier cells with the handle means being detached from the carrier means.
  • Fig. 15 is a perspective side view of a can carrier comprising o carrier cell with the handle means being not detached from the carrier means.
  • the can carrier (16) employs polymer-based carrier cells (13) comprising carrier means (11) in the form of planar and circular sheet-like structures covering top surfaces of can bodies and incorporating circular handle means (12) surrounding said carrier means (11) along part of their peripheral portions.
  • Said handle means (12) are connected to said carrier means (11) by means of a circular perforated line (14) provided in between said carrier means (11) and said handle means (12) along the periphery of said carrier means (11).
  • Said handle means (12) normally lying adjacent to said carrier means (11) during transport, storage and exhibition may be easily separated therefrom by buyers prior to carrying.
  • carbonated drink cans generally have a cylindrical body. From a side view of a can body, however, it is seen that the lateral surface of the same is extending uprightly and then reaching the top surface of the can with a slight inward slope. In other words, beverage can bodies' top surface areas are smaller than a given cross-sectional surface area that is located between the top and bottom surfaces of the cylindrical body and that is parallel to those two.
  • a carrier cell (13) which is mounted on a single can and which comprises said carrier means (11) encircled by said handle means (12), has its outermost limits in the horizontal axis, within an area defined by the vertical projection lines of the lateral surface of the can body.
  • the carrier cells (13) according to the present invention are also convenient for arranging can packs one above another vertically during transport, storage and exhibition since upper surfaces of said carrier cells (13) have suitable recesses for receiving bottom surfaces of the cans above.
  • Said carrier means (11) tightly grips the upper surface of a can, through suitable recesses and protruding members provided in the form to engage in the opposite surface on to which said carrier means is mounted.
  • Said carrier means (11) normally in a fixedly attached position to the can top surface, may be removed therefrom by the consumer, through exertion of a limited hand force by the edge portions of said carrier cells (13) prior to usage.
  • every can in a can pack is provided with a handle means (12) attached to said carrier means (11) by means of a circular perforated line (14) provided along part of the periphery of said carrier means (11) and may easily be detached therefrom by way of pulling that out as those handle means are designed in the form of a tear-off ring.
  • a carrier means (11) with its handle means (12) being detached will still be fixedly attached to neighboring carrier means (12) by means of a second linear perforated line (15) in the remaining peripheral portion of said carrier means (11) and carrying a can pack by means of any of detached handle means (12) will hence be possible.
  • Perforations are provided at least at one point (18) thorough said circular and linear perforated lines (14 and 15 respectively).
  • a user may either choose to carry a plurality of cans by an individual handle (12) provided on any of the cans in the pack or detach a number of desired cans by tearing off said perforated lines (15) in between cells (13) and carry the same by detaching any of the remaining handle means (12).
  • a carrier cell (13) detached from a can's top surface may still be reclosed and the half-full can may be safely closed and protected until the next time the user drinks it.
  • the present invention thus enables both individual carriage of a single can and plural carriage of the full pack or any number of cans detached from the pack, by means of any of the available handle means (12).
  • Fig. 7 which demonstrates another embodiment of the present invention, it is seen that only a pair of carrier cells (13) is provided with the handle means (12) instead of every single cell (13). However, it is of primary object of this invention to provide a separate handle means (12) to every carrier cell (13). Additionally, as is seen in Fig. 6 or Fig. 7, a can pack may also be carried in a conventional manner by two apertures (17) provided in the center of each cell (13) group in the form of a square consisting of 4 cells (13).
  • the cans provided with said handle means (12) may be hanged on a rack or on a wall for exhibition through said handle means (12) as well as on a rucksack as an accessory item.
