In the present description, in the description of the individual embodiments, only the differences from the Other embodiments or the specifics of

For the rest, reference is made to the description of the previous exemplary embodiments (and possibly of the later exemplary embodiments), which is intended to supplement the description of the respective exemplary embodiments.

FIGS. 1 to 6 and 13 to 15 show the frame part 10 and the closure part or insert part 40 of a

Beverage can closure element 99 or the

Beverage can closure element 99 according to a first embodiment of the invention.

A beverage can is usually constructed in two parts and has a beverage can lid 20. Of the

Beverage can lid 20 comprises a substantially planar lid portion and an opening portion which is enclosed by a predetermined breaking line. When opening the beverage can, the opening portion is broken out of the lid portion along the predetermined breaking line in a known manner, so that a removal opening 22 is formed.

The beverage can lid 20 further typically has a fold section with which the beverage can lid 20 is attached to the beverage can body in a known manner.

The beverage can lid 20 also typically has a groove between the lid portion and the rabbet portion, which receives any leaked liquid and prevents it from flowing back into the beverage can.

The beverage can is usually constructed substantially cylindrical and has a cylindrical portion, which merges in the upper area in a tapered cone section. This ensures that the beverage cans are stackable in a known manner.

The frame part 10 has a frame 11 and an opening 12 in which the cover member 42 of the closure part 40

is received, as shown in Figures 13 to 15. The frame member further comprises an extension 13 in which a riveting opening 14 and a breakthrough line 15 are provided, which are formed in a manner known to those skilled in opening tabs, i. in the extension 13 a breakthrough line 15 is provided, which is the on the

Beverage can lid 20 attached to a soda can

Beverage can closure member 99 allows to be flipped up to open the beverage can. To open the beverage can, the frame part 10 can be rotated on the frame 11 in the correct orientation (if necessary, because usually beverage cans are delivered with already suitably oriented opening tabs) and with a

Fingernail or finger raised to one in the

Beverage can lid 20 existing removal opening 22

to release.

The closure member 40 has an edge region 41 and a cover member 42, which is suitable for covering the resulting from opening the beverage can removal opening 22.

The closure member 40 further has an extension 43, which substantially corresponds to the extension 13 of the frame part 10, and in which a cutout 44 is provided, which corresponds essentially to the break-through line 15. At the bottom of the closure member 40 are clamping or

Provide locking members 46 which engage under or behind the beverage can lid 20 for locking the discharge opening 22.

This two-part design of the beverage can closure element 99 according to the invention has the advantage that the frame part 10 can be made relatively stiff in order to ensure easy opening of the removal opening 22 and to the

Closure member 40 to provide support while at the same time the closure member 40 can be made relatively elastic, to allow a safe closing and reopening of the removal opening 22.

The frame part may for example be formed of metal, preferably of sheet metal. In this case, a suitable type of sheet can be selected, preferably the same

Material from which the beverage can is formed, e.g. Aluminum, steel or a suitable metal alloy, with a predominantly non-elastic material being preferred.

The frame can increase its rigidity

have corresponding stiffeners, for example

Vaulting, grooves or beads or the like.

The closure member may be arranged or inserted in accordance with the invention over the entire surface in the frame part. Any type of connection known to those skilled in the art may be used. For example, the closure part or

Einlegteil be connected by beading with the frame part. The closure member may also comprise metal and be formed of sheet metal, e.g. made of aluminum, steel or a metal alloy. Preferably, it is formed of a resilient or elastic material. For example, it can be plastic, rubber or a combination of materials (e.g.

Metal / plastic): include, being sandwiched

can be trained.

The closure part or insert can be over the entire surface

be formed or fill the frame part only partially.

The cover member may be round or oval, wherein the shape preferably corresponds to the shape of the removal opening to be re-sealed.

The cover member 42 of the beverage can closure element 99 is in the illustrated in Figures 1 to 6 and 13 to 15 Embodiment of the invention as a relation to the beverage can upwards (the top of the side of the can, which has the beverage can lid 20) curved surface formed whose size and shape substantially corresponds to the removal opening 22 of the beverage can.

Of course, according to the invention, another opening mechanism known to those skilled in the art (other than that described above) may be provided. For example, the beverage can closure element also not as part of the

Opening mechanism may be formed. In this case, the breakthrough line 15 can be omitted, because it is then no longer necessary that the beverage can closure element is formed bendable upwards.

The removal opening 22 can be closed as follows with the cover member 42: By the pressure of a finger on the cover member 42 of the beverage can closure element 99, the cover member is offset from its upwardly curved shape shown in Figures 5 and 6 in a downwardly curved shape. In other words, the cover member 42 is transferred from a stable equilibrium to another stable equilibrium. In the downwardly curved shape, the cover member 42 tends to be in a relaxed as possible form in which the cover member is curved as far down as it was previously, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, upwardly curved. As a result, the locking members 46, up against the lid portion of the beverage can lid 20th

crowded. Since the cover member 42 of

Beverage can closure member 99 can not fully enter the relaxed downwardly curved shape, because the locking members 46 abut against the beverage can lid, the beverage can closure member 99 by means of

Locking members 46 braced against the beverage can lid 20.

To unlock, the user can apply a force to the Cover member 42 of the beverage can closure element 99 exert such that the cover member 42 returns from its downwardly curved shape back into its upwardly curved shape. As a result of the upwardly arched shape, the locking members 46 attached to the cover member 42 are radially inwardly offset with respect to the cover member 42 so that they no longer engage under the edge of the lid portion and release the beverage can closure member 99 again, leaving the removal opening 22 can be removed.
