  • Beverage cans in which a tab-shaped opener is firmly connected to the can and is not detached from the can when opening the can so that it does not accumulate as a separate waste, but can be disposed of with the empty can, are well known.
  • one end of the opener is pressed against the top surface of the can, in a region covering the pouring spout.
  • this area is broken along a predetermined breaking line from the top surface and bent into the box so that the opener protrudes into the can after opening and is inclined to normal to the top surface. In this position, the opener can remain when drinking or it can be bent back into a parallel position to the top surface.
  • a whistle is provided on the opener of the can, it being possible to cover the opening of the beverage can preferably by turning the opener.
  • the opener extends with the whistle parallel to the top surface of the can so that it comes to cover the opening during rotation. To be able to use the whistle, it must be disconnected from the can.
  • the whistle extends between one end of the opener and the axis of rotation about which the opener can be rotated and, due to its short length, produces a very high sound which is unaffected by the can and, if anything in the audible range, poorly perceptible is.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved embodiment of a beverage can with a sound generator to make such a way from a beverage can of the type mentioned a simple musical instrument. Furthermore, the tones from this musical instrument should be in a good audible range and this musical instrument should be able to play without having to separate it from the box.
  • the opener itself is designed as a sound generator, so replaces the known ⁇ ffnerlasche.
  • the sound generator is fixedly connected to a known ⁇ ffnerlasche, e.g. by gluing, or releasably connected, e.g. by pushing or attaching. So, the can manufacturing process does not have to be changed.
  • the sound generator can be retrofitted and can be removed if necessary to use it separately.
  • the length of the sound generator is greater than the radius of the top surface of the can to produce a sound that is well audible to human hearing.
  • the sound generator has at least a bottom wall, a top wall and side walls, between which a horn is formed, which also contributes to creating a well audible, so specific sound.
  • the bell is only slightly affected by the attachment to the box.
  • the sound generator includes anregative with an air flow ble tone generator, in particular a labium, a cutting edge or a tongue, more preferably a strike tongue.
  • the sound generator can be operated with breathing air, wherein in particular with a penetration tongue as a tone generator despite the existing short air column in terms of the volume and the depth of sound clearly audible sound can be generated.
  • an intermediate wall is provided between the lower wall and the upper wall, which carries the sound generator, which can vibrate so well.
  • the sound generator In the upper wall, one or more openings may be provided in order to influence the volume.
  • An opening provided opposite the rivet tab can also simplify the riveting of the sound generator to the can.
  • the sound generator can be made of plastic, for example by injection molding, and thus produced very inexpensively.
  • the sound generator is made of metal, especially aluminum, and can be supplied with the can for recycling.
  • the sound generator can be made by punching, cutting or milling and subsequent folding of a sheet material, such as a metal sheet, in particular in a single piece.
  • the inventive method for producing a sound generator for a beverage can according to the invention, which is characterized in that from a sheet-shaped material, preferably an aluminum sheet, one or more flat blanks are punched and / or cut, the or a section for a lower Wall, which preferably has a rivet tab and a Nietlaschenaus brieflyung, a portion for a partition wall having a tone generator, in particular a Labium, a cutting edge or tongue, preferably a strike tongue, a portion for a top wall and portions for side and connecting walls has or have,
  • the blank or blanks are bent and folded according to the sections and, where appropriate, made between the blanks or between some of the sections before or after bending and folding connections.
  • FIG. 1 a 2 shows an enlarged punching plan for a sound generator to be produced
  • FIG. 3 shows the folding diagram for the sound generator from FIG. 2
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show the folded sound generator in an oblique view from the front and show from behind.
  • a conventional beverage can 3 which has in its top surface 2 has a spout opening 7, which was originally closed by a portion of the top surface 2, which portion was separated by a scribe line from the rest Deckfikiee 2.
  • a breaker 1 is attached via a rivet, which is formed by a sound generator 8 in the example shown.
  • the opener 1 extends parallel to the top surface 2.
  • the opener 1 is raised at its end 4 and pivots about an axis which is normal to the longitudinal axis of the rivet, whereby the other end 6 lever-like Section along the scribe line from the top surface 2 and presses into the can 3.
  • the opener 1 formed as a sound generator 8 is a sound generator, which can be excited by an air flow, for example breathing air. The user thus blows into the end 4 of the sound generator 8, which end is easily accessible through the tilted position of the sound generator 8. The air escapes at the end 6 of the sound generator 8, which projects into the cavity of the can 3, so that the can 3 itself influences the sound generation.
  • the blank shown in Fig. 2 is punched from a metal sheet, in the example shown, the Schalier Weger 8 from this single blank, ie fold out of one piece.
  • the lower wall 9 forms the base of the sound generator 8 and has a rivet tab 13 and a NietlaschenausANSung 14. With a rivet that goes through the rivet opening 5 in the rivet tab, the sound generator 8 is attached to the top surface 2 of the can 3.
  • the rivet tab 13 bends plastically with respect to the bottom wall 9, so that there is a permanent inclination of the sound generator 8 relative to the top surface 2 of the can 3.
  • the intermediate wall 16 extends parallel to the lower wall 9.
  • the intermediate wall 16 is connected via the connecting wall 17b with the upper wall 10 which forms the top surface of the sound generator in the folded state of the Schailer Wegers 8 and also parallel to the lower Wall 9 and thus also to the intermediate wall 16 extends.
  • the adjoining the upper wall 10 side wall 11a extends after folding down.
  • an opening 18 is provided, which is opposite to the folding of the rivet opening 5 and facilitates the insertion and fixing of the rivet.
  • the sound generated by the sound generator 8 can be changed.
  • a plurality of openings in the upper wall 10 may be provided.
  • the oblique view from the rear which is shown in Fig. 5, shows the formed between upper 10 and lower wall 9 horns. At least all accessible after folding edges can be reworked so that injuries are prevented. Furthermore, certain edges, as indicated by a double line, may be obtained by e.g. Beading, stiffening, which also rounds off to avoid injury.
  • the sound generator 8 is used to open the beverage can 3 and can be used regardless of the level of the can 3 for generating sounds, the can 3 at the same time serves as a handle for the Schailer Weger 8 and affects the generation of sound. If the sound generator 8 made of the same material as the can 3, it can be disposed of together with the can 3. Optionally, the sound generator 8 can also be separated from the can 3 and used without the can 3.
