Description

DESCRIPTION

  Device for opening soda can and all beverage containers. The present invention relates to a device for opening a soda can.

  The press and health authorities have regularly informed consumers of the dangers of using soda cans for the health and safety of people.

  The boxes are stored in sheds, cellars or any other place potentially contaminated by rats, bacteria, microbes and others, which lodge on the edge of the box, at the opening tongue where usually applies the mouth to drink, and this tongue in the system currently used, enters the box and just soil the drink at the opening of it.

  The other danger comes from the fact that children often introduce their tongue in the opening of the box to recover the last drops of the soda, considering the very sharp edges of the opening of the box, a jostling at this moment, a a fall or even a brutal gesture could be extremely serious.

  It is also dangerous to leave an open box with uneaten drink inside, as wasps, bees, hornets, attracted by sugar, break in, and if the adult consumer or worse a child comes to drink after this event, the accident can be very serious, even fatal.

  Plate 7/7 shows the device in plan view for the third version of the opening key.

  The device according to the invention allows maximum security through an orifice of very small dimensions (7 mm wide 14 long), which discourages a child from introducing his tongue into the box, which currently represents a danger denounced by emergency departments of hospitals.

  The device according to the invention specifies that the pre-cut tongue (7) being of the same dimensions as the orifice (7 mm X 14 mm) its edges are protected by the key (1) which is of much larger dimensions (15 mm). wide 25 mm long) and the presence of the bowl (5) which is 1 mm close to the contours of the tongue (7) provides maximum manual security.

  The device according to the invention allows the opening of a box of soda or drink, for this it has three opening keys. In a first version, the key (1) is provided with a pusher and having a folding zone (4), under the effect of the traction exerted from front to back on the key (1) abuts on the piece (2) (figure 2). The key (1) and the piece (2) are integral and the traction exerted on the key (1) from front to back causes the assembly, which allows to completely cut the tongue (7) to the zone of folding (10) (Figure 3).

  The device according to the invention forces the tongue (7) to be integrally provided with a bowl (5) of oval shape, on its inner part having dimensions slightly smaller than the tongue (5) of the order1mm, which allows the filling of the orifice of the box, after use.

  The cap function is important in case the user wants to protect the rest of the unused drink, the intrusion of wasps, bees, hornet etc. The device according to the invention allows the cap function, but to make the operation effective, the bowl (5) must have at its end a locking boss (11).

  The device according to the invention has a second version of the opening key (1) having the same function, but using a different technique. The key (1) is made in one piece and provided with a pusher (9) which is positioned perpendicular to the key (1). The pusher (9) has the function of partially cutting the tongue (7), the cutting priming of the tongue (7) is obtained by exerting a pressure of the shoot, from top to bottom on the key (1) (FIG. 6).

  The device according to the invention has a third version of the opening key (1). In the closed position, the key (1) is fully folded on itself, at the folding zone (4) (Figure 12).

  By bringing the key (1) towards the edge of the lid (14) of the box, the pusher (9) is forced to start cutting the tongue (7) (FIG. 13), and to fix itself in its housing ( 13) (Figure 13).

  Then the key (1) is brought back and forth, which allows to completely cut the tab (7) to the folding zone (10) allowing the complete opening of the box Figure 14.

  -4- 2876994 This version of the opening key (1) makes it possible to bring the orifice as close as possible to the edge of the box (14).

  The device according to the invention indicates that the key (1) is entirely integral with the pre-cut tongue (7) and the bowl (5), and the lid of the box (8) by a rivet (3). After 5 cutting initiation of the tongue (7) by the pusher (9), the key (1) is brought back by pulling back and forth, we obtain the complete cutting of the tongue (7) to the zone folding (10) (figure).

  The device according to the invention specifies that the tongue (7) comprises a locking housing (13) board 6/7 of the pusher (9) which allows the key (1) to perform the movement from front to back without bending to the effort.

  The device according to the invention advantageously allows the use of an automatic ejection system of a torch of a soda can, because the bowl (5) has the second function of serving as a housing torch (6) ( simple or articulated) (Figure 9).

  The device according to the invention associated with the torch ejection device makes it possible for the consumer to obtain a perfect hygiene assurance, a maximum safety assurance and a practical, comfortable and playful use of the soda box (FIG. 9) board 5/7.

  The device according to the invention described above associated with the device for automatic ejection of a torch, allows after removing the torch (6) from the can pour the drink in a glass, as is traditionally done 5 / 7.
