Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a beverage can, such as for juices, soft drinks, etc, of the type having a thin embossed sheet of aluminum and the lid of which is equipped with a pull ring for tearing a cover defined by a perforated line or a frangible line arranged in the lid itself.
  • the object of the invention is to achieve a can that is much easier to handle and to transport when handled unitarily, i.e. at the moment of consumption, especially when the user or consumer carries it with him or herself.
  • These cans have a body with a basically cylindrical configuration, although with frustoconical narrowings at their ends and with a significantly sunken lower base, with a flange at the level of the upper base, on which a lid is fixed to the body of the can by means of a seam or the like, which lid is provided with a ring for tearing off a cover allowing the liquid contained inside the can to exit.
  • the can proposed by the invention completely and satisfactorily solves the problem set forth above, forming an element that is easily transportable and manageable immediately before and during the consumption of its contents.
  • said can compared with the classic cylindrical configuration, adopts a considerably flattened prismatic configuration, having an almost rectangular plan but with a slightly curved minor axis, such that said can is easily introduced into the pocket of an article of clothing, such as for example into the pocket of a jacket without being excessively prominent or projecting out and perfectly adapting to the body due to its own curvature.
  • the can will be formed as any other conventional can by means of a suitably embossed sheet of aluminum, with which a traditionally fixed lid collaborates, with the only exception that in this case the lid, like the plan of the body, is rectangular and quite elongated, incorporating the classic opening ring, which will define a pouring window preferably located in correspondence with one of the ends of the mentioned base or lid, in order to facilitate in turn the consumption of the beverage.
  • the body will have round edges and vertices.
  • the can proposed by the invention is formed from a basically considerably elongated, prismatic and rectangular plan body (1) configuration comprising round edges and vertices, but with considerably curved longer sides such that one of them is concavely curved whereas the other is convexly curved, determining a substantially arched trajectory for the major axis of the rectangle corresponding to the plan of the body (1), facilitating the adaptation of the body (1) of the can to the corporal anatomy of the user, in addition said body (1) having a convergent truncated-pyramid lower end sector (2), joined to the lower base and closed and another approximately convergent truncated-pyramid upper section (3) as well, which through a ring-shaped flange (4) receives the corresponding lid (5) provided in turn with a pull ring (6) to tear the cover (7) causing the opening of the can at the moment of consumption of its contents.
  • This special substantially flattened configuration along the lateral axis of the body (1) of the can makes the unitary transportation thereof considerably easier, specifically when the consumer carries it with him or herself, since it is easily fitted to the inside of the pocket of a jacket or of any other article of clothing, adapting itself to the body by its own curvature.
  • its opening is as easy as that of any conventional can, the liquid exit orifice being defined by the cover (7) located at one of the ends of the base (5) to facilitate the direct pouring if the beverage into the user's mouth, since obviously in the practical cases for which the use of this type of can has mainly been expected, a complementary glass will not be available.
