Definitions

  • the present technology relates to lids for opening containers. More specifically, the present technology relates to lid designs that facilitate easier opening of beverage, food, and storage containers.
  • Food, beverage, and storage containers often include lids with graspable tabs that enable users to quickly and easily open the cans without the need for a can opener or other tool.
  • Conventional lids include substantially flat surfaces with tabs fixed to the lid. A user may grasp the tab and pull up on the tab to force open a tear panel or to remove the entire lid. The tab is typically flush with the flat lid. As the tab is flush with the flat lid, it may be difficult for a user to reach underneath the tab and fully grasp the tab for an easy open. Therefore, improvements in lids and tabs for food, beverage, and storage cans are desired.
  • the lids include a laterally extending lid body and a tab.
  • the laterally extending lid body may have a proximally extending protrusion and a distally extending well.
  • the protrusion and the well may be radially aligned with one another.
  • the tab may be fixed to the lid body.
  • the tab may include a nose, a handle, and a medial portion that extends between the nose and the handle. The tab may be positionable such that the tab contacts the protrusion causing the handle to be lifted proximally away from the lid body relative to the handle.
  • the lid body may have a circular shape.
  • the well may be disposed radially outward of the protrusion.
  • the lid body may define an opening axially aligned with the protrusion and the well.
  • the protrusion may depress the nose of the tab to the opening in the second radial position.
  • the well may have a well area and the protrusion may have a protrusion area.
  • the well area may be within 20% of the protrusion area.
  • An outer perimeter of the lid body may define a tear panel for removing the lid from the container.
  • Some embodiments of the present technology may encompass methods for opening lids of containers.
  • the methods may include rotating a tab about a laterally extending lid body of the lid from a first radial position to a second radial position.
  • the tab may include a nose, a handle, and a medial portion that extends between and couples the nose and the handle.
  • the laterally extending lid body may include a proximally extending protrusion and a distally extending well in axial alignment.
  • the tab may contact the protrusion causing the handle to be lifted proximally away from the lid body in the second radial position relative to the handle in the first radial position.
  • the methods may include grasping the handle of the tab proximate the well.
  • the methods may include lifting the handle of the tab proximally to open the container.
  • the first radial position is characterized by the tab being offset from the protrusion by greater than or about 30 degrees. Grasping the handle of the tab may include sliding one or more digits underneath the handle into the well. In the second radial position, the protrusion may lift the handle of the tab proximate the well.
  • the EZO containers may include a can body, a laterally extending lid body, and a tab.
  • the laterally extending lid body may be fixed to a proximal end of the can body.
  • the lid may include a proximally extending protrusion and a distally extending well.
  • the protrusion and well may be radially aligned with one another.
  • the tab may be fixed to the lid body.
  • the tab may include a nose, a handle, and a medial portion that extends between and couples the nose and the handle. The tab may contact the protrusion causing the handle to be lifted proximally away from the lid body relative to the handle.
  • the lid may include a center panel.
  • the lid may include a peripheral curl coupled with a rim of the can.
  • the lid may include a chuck wall disposed between the center panel and the peripheral curl.
  • the chuck wall may include a substantially horizontal portion.
  • Embodiments of the present invention are directed to lids for containers such as food, beverage, and storage cans.
  • the lids which may also be referred to as can ends, may include a proximally extending protrusion and a distally extending well, which may allow tabs to be rotated, e.g., laterally rotated between a first radial position and a second radial position.
  • the distinct radial positions may allow for the tabs on the lids to be lifted for easier opening of the containers.
  • Embodiments may include tabs for beverage cans in which a user lifts the handle of the tab to push on a region of a lid having a perforation and/or weakened perimeter to push the region into the inner region of the container to create an opening in the lid through which the beverage may be poured or drank.
  • Embodiments may also be utilized in food and/or beverage cans, such as "easy open” (EZO) cans in which the tab is used to puncture the lid near an outer periphery of the can, with the user then pulling the tab and lid backwards to partially or fully remove the lid from the can.
  • EZO easy open
  • lid 100 includes a laterally extending, e.g. in the XY plane, lid body that is formed of a metallic material, such as or including aluminum, tin, steel, and/or other metal.
  • the lid body may have any shape, such as a circular, square, or another polygonal shape. In some embodiments, such as food or beverage can embodiments, the lid body may have a circular shape. However, it is contemplated that the lid body may take on any shape depending on the container body to which it is to be affixed to.
  • the lid body may include a proximally extending, e.g. in the +Z direction, protrusion 102 and a distally extending, e.g., in the -Z direction, well 104.
  • the protrusion 102 and the well 104 may be radially aligned with one another. It is contemplated that the protrusion 102 and the well 104 may also be radially offset from one another.
  • the well 104 may be disposed radially outward of the protrusion. That is, the well 104 may be closer to an outer periphery of the lid body than the protrusion.
  • the protrusion 102 may have a tapered profile where the middle of the protrusion 102 extends in the proximal direction a greater height than the edges of the protrusion 102 extend in the proximal direction. Additionally, the well 104 may have a tapered profile where the middle of the well 104 extends in the distal direction a greater depth than the edges of the well 104 extend in the distal direction.
  • the protrusion 102 may have a protrusion area. The protrusion area may be measured by the area of the outer periphery of the protrusion 102, or the area of the lid 100 that is depressed distally from the lid 100. Similarly, the well 104 may have a well area.
  • the well area may be measured by the area of the outer periphery of the well 104, or the area of the lid 100 that is raised proximally from the lid 100.
  • the well area may be within 20% of the protrusion area, such as within 18%, within 16%, within 14%, within 12%, within 10%, within 8%, within 6%, within 4%, within 2%, or less.
  • the well area may be within about 2% to about 20% of the protrusion area, such as within about 6% to about 20%, within about 10% to about 20%, within about 2% to about 16%, within about 2% to about 14%, or within about 2% to about 10%.
  • the protrusion 102 may extend greater than or about 0.1 mm, greater than or about 0.5 mm, greater than or about 1,0 mm, greater than or about 2.0 mm, greater than or about 3.0 mm from the lid body.
  • the protrusion 102 may extend from about 0.1 mm to about 5.0 mm, from about 1.0 mm to about 4.0 mm, or about 2.0 mm to about 3.0 mm.
  • the well 104 may recess greater than or about 0.1 mm, greater than or about 0.5 mm, greater than or about 1.0 mm, greater than or about 2.0 mm, greater than or about 3.0 mm into the lid body.
  • the well 104 may recess from about 0.1 mm to about 10.0 mm, from about 1.0 mm to about 7.5 mm, or about 2.0 mm to about 5.0 mm.
  • a tab 110 may be fixed to the lid body.
  • the tab 110 may be rotatably fixed to the lid body such that the tab may rotate about the lid body.
  • the tab 110 may include a nose 112 and a handle 114, with a medial portion 116 that extends between and couples the nose 112 and the handle 114.
  • the tab 110 may include a longitudinal axis that extends through the nose 112, handle 114, and medial portion 116.
  • nose 112 includes an optional apex 118 that is used to puncture and/or otherwise open a lid 100 of a container on which the tab 100 is mounted.
  • Nose 112 may further define an opening 120 that may receive a rivet and/or other fastening mechanism that is used to secure the tab 110 to the lid 100 of a container.
  • the nose 112 and apex 118 may be at a proximal end of tab 100 and handle 114 may be at a distal end of tab 100.
  • Handle 114 and/or medial portion 116 may define a central opening 122, which may help a user better grasp the handle 114.
  • Central opening 122 may have a generally circular shape as shown here, or may have any other shape, such as an oval, oblong, or other shape.
  • the central opening 122 may be sufficiently large that a user may position his or her finger through the central opening 122 to make it easier to apply sufficient force to remove the lid 100 from the container.
  • the edge of the material used to form the tab 110 may be bent, folded, and/or otherwise curved onto itself such that some or all of the outer periphery of the central opening 122 may have a rounded edge.
  • the central opening 122 may be formed using a punch or other machining device that forms a hole in a sheet of metallic material.
  • Tab 110 may be formed by punching, die cutting, machining and/or otherwise forming the body of tab into a sheet of metal material. This may be performed over several different steps. For example, a general tab shaped periphery may be stamped or punched to the sheet of metal material, opening 120 and/or central opening 122 may be cut into the body, and/or other features may be formed in one or more steps.
  • the lid body may also define an opening 124.
  • the opening 124 may be axially aligned with the protrusion 102 and the well 104. Again, it is contemplated that the opening 124, protrusion 102, and the well 104, or any combination of the three, may radially offset from one another.
  • the tab 110 may be positionable such that the tab 110 contacts the protrusion 102 causing the handle to be lifted proximally away from the lid body relative to the handle 114.
  • the protrusion 102 may depress the nose 112 of the tab 110 to the opening 124, such as in a second radial position.
  • the tab 110 may be offset from the protrusion 102 and/or well 104 in a first radial position (as shown in FIGS. 1A-1B ). Simultaneously, in the second radial position, the protrusion 102 may lift the handle 114 proximally away from the lid body, as previously described. Together, the protrusion 102 may increase the distance of the tab 110 from the lid body and the well 104 may provide a portion of the lid body that has an even greater distance from the lid body.
  • the protrusion 102 may lift the tab 110 greater than or about 0.5 mm, greater than or about 0.6 mm, greater than or about 0.7 mm, greater than or about 0.8 mm, greater than or about 0.9 mm, greater than or about 1.0 mm, greater than or about 1.1 mm, greater than or about 1.2 mm, greater than or about 1.3 mm, greater than or about 1.4 mm, greater than or about 1.5 mm, greater than or about 1.6 mm, greater than or about 1.7 mm, greater than or about 1.8 mm, greater than or about 1.9 mm, greater than or about 2.0 mm. greater than or about 2.5 mm, greater than or about 3.0 mm, or more from the lid body.
  • the protrusion may lift the tab 110 between about 0.5 mm and about 3.0 mm, such as between about 0.7 mm and about 3.0 mm, between about 1.0 mm and 3.0 mm, between about 1.5 mm and about 3.0 mm, between about 0.5 mm and 2.5 mm, between about 0.5 mm and 2 mm, or between about 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm.
  • the distance lifted may be measured in a variety of ways.
  • the distance lifted may be measured by a distance between the lid body and an edge of the tab 110, such as at the handle 114 of the tab 110, by a distance between an uppermost point of the protrusion 102 to the handle 114 of the tab 110, or by a distance between a lowermost point of the well 104 to the handle 114 of the tab 110. If the distance between the lid body and the tab 110 is too great, the container may undesirably open or multiple containers may not be able to be stacked upon one another.
  • the EZO container 300 may include a can body, which may include a cylindrical sidewall 305 and a base 310.
  • the container may define an open interior, which may be used to store food, beverages, and/or other objects.
