Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、頂面に開口および引き裂きリングを含む頂面に引き裂き式閉止部材を含む開口手段を備えた飲料缶のための飲み口兼注ぎ装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
飲料用缶の頂部に装着するための飲み口装置またはそれに類する装置が、例えば、米国特許４，３８７，８２６及び米国特許５，０６２，５５２から、缶の中身を飲むことに関し使用することが知られている。
【０００３】
これらの公知装置はある種のキャップまたは蓋を構成し、このキャップまたは蓋は、開けられた後、缶の頂面の開口を塞ぐように、缶の頂面上に装着される。これらの装置は、開閉可能な注出用取付け部材を介して中身を飲むことができるように設計されている。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このような公知装置に伴う問題は、飲料の液体が缶から注がれるとき、缶からの液体の一部が、缶の蓋と頂面との間に包囲されたギャップ内へ流れ込むことにある。類似の態様では、飲料の一部が注がれた後で、ある量の飲料液体が、蓋と缶の頂部との間のギャップに残存する。このことは、缶開口部周辺の表面からの不純物が、丁度当該不純物が缶内へ流れ戻るように飲料液体により洗い流されることを意味する。このことは飲料が汚染されることを意味する。
【０００５】
缶の中身を飲む際の別の問題として、人が開口周りの領域における鋭いエッジ部で自分自身を切る可能性がありうることである。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
以上を基に、本発明の目的は、ビール缶や新鮮な飲料用缶のような缶用の既知の飲み口に伴う上述した衛生上の問題を減じることにある。
【０００７】
この目的は当初述べた種類の装置によって達成され、当該装置は、当該装置を缶上にスナップ嵌めで装着するために缶の頂面の上部周辺をほぼ取り囲む環状リムフランジを備えたカバーと、該カバー内の孔と、該孔の部分を覆う飲み口と、該缶上で開口手段の引き裂きリングを取り囲むシール用フランジとから成る。
【０００８】
本発明により、缶用の簡便なキャップまたは蓋が提供される。缶の表面から汚れた粒子または他の不純物が分離するおそれを減らすように、ギャップの体積を減少又は除去して、衛生的な注出用および飲み口用装置を得ることができる。当該装置が缶の頂部上に配置されるとき、シール用フランジが缶の頂面と接触させられて、液の流路となるギャップの体積を減らす。カバー及び環状のスナップ嵌め式リムフランジにより、缶の頂面全体が本発明による装置によって覆われるので、エッジ部の危険がなくなる。
【０００９】
頂部への緊密な嵌合を確実にするために、引き裂きリングを取り囲む上方に突出する窪みを備えることができる。これにより、たとえ缶上の開き手段の引き裂きリングが十分に曲げ拡げられない場合でさえ、液密のシールを確実に提供する。
【００１０】
好適実施形態では、飲み口が部分的に孔の外側部分に沿って孔の外側部分を取り囲んでいる。これにより、飲み口がその横断面において半円形となっているので当該装置は注出用装置として特に適している。この構造は液体を缶から注ぐ際、空気が缶へ入ることを可能にさせ、同時に缶から液体が連続かつ穏やかに流れるようにさせることができ、缶から液体が急に流れ出すことを回避できる。
【００１１】
本発明の実施形態では、保護フランジ延長部が飲み口のすぐ隣のリムフランジ上に具備されている。これにより当該装置は缶から、これがなければ、この缶の一部に、缶から直接中身を飲むときに口または舌が接触することになるであろう、缶の一部を覆う。さらに、フランジ延長部は缶の引き裂き閉止部材を開くことを補助するのに使用されうる。
【００１２】
好適実施形態では、当該装置は好適には生物学的に不活性なポリマー材内に成形された単一片で作成される。これによって、衛生上の見地がさらに一段と向上する。すなわち、液体を飲んでいる間または当該装置を清掃している間のいずれにおいても、又は、当該装置の材料に接触している間に、液体が当該装置の鋭い角部で滞留することをなくすからである。単一の成形片で当該装置を作成するとき、当該装置は様々な箇所への移行部分を滑らかにすることができる。
【００１３】
本発明の好適実施形態において、リムフランジは、当該装置を廻すことにより、頂面の周辺部を摺らせて、孔を缶の開口部から遠ざけることができる。これにより、閉止機能が、簡便ではあるが効率的な方法で、他の利点に加えて、提供される。この閉止機能を適当に働かせるために、頂面上へスナップ装着するときにリムフランジによって創出されるバネ力がこの摺り連動を可能にする。引き裂きリングは、通常、缶の開き手段上で転回され得るので、このリングは当該缶の頂面上を当該装置と共に廻る。
【００１４】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１乃至図５において、飲料缶の中身の注ぎ用および飲み口用の本発明による装置の第１実施形態が示されている。当該装置は環状フランジ４を備えたカバー３を有している。この環状フランジ４は、缶の頂部上へ装着可能な大きさを有している。フランジ４は当該装置をスナップ嵌めにより装着できるようにしている。当該装置には孔６が設けられ、この孔６は缶１の頂面５における開口部のすぐ上方に配置可能である（図１および図５を参照のこと）。孔６部分の周辺には飲み口７が設けてある。当該装置は、孔６の周辺部が、もしくは上方に突出している飲み口７を備えた孔６部分で、少なくとも、缶１の頂面５と接するように形成されている。これにより、缶の中身の液体を缶から、コップへと注ぐことができ、又は、缶１から直かに飲むことができる。孔６と反対側のカバーフランジには、上方に突出している窪み９が形成されており、缶を開く手段である引き裂きリング２が閉じ込まれる。カバー３の内側または下側には、シール用フランジ８が窪み９の周辺に設けられて引き裂きリング２を閉じ込み、かつ、カバー３の下側と頂面５との間に隙間を画成していて、その結果、頂面上において開口部と周辺領域との間で液体の流通が防止される。汚れや他の不純物の析出物がしばしばこれらの領域に集まるので、このことは重要である。
【００１５】
シール用フランジ７により、これらの析出物と飲料との接触が防止され、その結果、析出物がコップへと洗い出されることが防止される。
【００１６】
カバー３には、リムフランジ２の内側に窪んだ環状周辺部１１を備えることができる。これにより、飲み口の外側上に流れる飲料の滴が集められ、その結果、例えば、缶の中身が空になった後で缶が置かれるテーブル上に、輪状の痕跡が残らないようにできる。
【００１７】
第１実施形態では、拡張フランジ１０が飲み口７の外側のリムフランジ４上に設けてある。この拡張部は、唇が缶自体に接触することを防止するので、缶１から直に飲むときに快適な飲み心地を確かにする。
【００１８】
この拡張フランジ１０には、広告、ロゴ、個人的なマーク、名前等の表示を付けることが可能である。
【００１９】
第２実施形態において、当該装置には、図４に示されたような幅広のリムフランジ４を具備できる。これ以外については、当該装置は第１実施形態で記載されたものと同じ特徴、すなわち、シール用フランジ８、飲み口７、および孔６等を具備することも可能である。幅広のリムフランジ４は缶に対してグリップ性をより良くする。
【００２０】
飲み口７は、好適には実質的に半円形状であり、液体を缶から注いでいる間、空気を缶へ入らせるための通路が存在することになる。これにより、一気に液体が流れ出すことが防止される。
【００２１】
本発明により、特許請求の範囲に記載された本発明の範囲から逸脱することなく、飲み用および注ぎ用装置の多くの変形例を成し得ることが理解される。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a spout and pouring device for a beverage can with an opening means including a tearable closure member on the top surface comprising an opening on the top surface and a tear ring.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A spout device or the like for mounting on the top of a beverage can is known, for example, from U.S. Pat. No. 4,387,826 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,062,552 for use in drinking the contents of a can. Have been.
[0003]
These known devices constitute a kind of cap or lid which, after being opened, is mounted on the top of the can so as to close the opening in the top of the can. These devices are designed so that the contents can be drunk via an opening and closing dispensing attachment.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
A problem with such known devices is that when the liquid of the beverage is poured from the can, some of the liquid from the can flows into the enclosed gap between the can lid and the top surface. . In a similar manner, after a portion of the beverage has been poured, an amount of beverage liquid remains in the gap between the lid and the top of the can. This means that impurities from the surface around the can opening are washed away by the beverage liquid just as the impurities flow back into the can. This means that the beverage is contaminated.
[0005]
Another problem with drinking the contents of a can is that a person may cut himself with sharp edges in the area around the opening.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Based on the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to reduce the above-mentioned hygiene problems associated with known drinking spouts for cans, such as beer cans and fresh beverage cans.
[0007]
This object is achieved by a device of the type initially mentioned, which device comprises a cover with an annular rim flange substantially surrounding the upper periphery of the top of the can for snap-fitting the device onto the can. It comprises a hole in the cover, a spout covering a portion of the hole, and a sealing flange surrounding the tear ring of the opening means on the can.
[0008]
The present invention provides a simple cap or lid for a can. The volume of the gap can be reduced or eliminated to provide a sanitary pouring and drinking device to reduce the risk of soiled particles or other impurities separating from the surface of the can. When the device is placed on the top of the can, a sealing flange is brought into contact with the top surface of the can, reducing the volume of the gap that provides the flow path for the liquid. Due to the cover and the annular snap-fit rim flange, the entire top surface of the can is covered by the device according to the invention, so that there is no danger of edge parts.
[0009]
To ensure a tight fit on the top, an upwardly projecting depression surrounding the tear ring can be provided. This ensures that a liquid-tight seal is provided even if the tear ring of the opening means on the can is not sufficiently bent and spread.
[0010]
In a preferred embodiment, the spout partially surrounds the outer portion of the hole along the outer portion of the hole. This makes the device particularly suitable as a pouring device, since the drinking spout is semicircular in its cross section. This arrangement allows air to enter the can as it is poured from the can, while allowing the liquid to flow continuously and gently from the can, and avoiding a sudden flow of liquid from the can.
[0011]
In an embodiment of the present invention, a protective flange extension is provided on the rim flange immediately adjacent to the spout. The device thereby covers the part of the can that would otherwise be in contact with the mouth or tongue when drinking the contents directly from the can, if not the part of the can. Further, the flange extension may be used to assist in opening the tear closure member of the can.
[0012]
In a preferred embodiment, the device is made in a single piece, preferably molded into a biologically inert polymer material. This further improves the hygiene aspect. That is, to prevent liquid from stagnating at sharp corners of the device, either while drinking liquid or while cleaning the device, or while in contact with the material of the device. Because. When making the device with a single molded piece, the device can smooth transitions to various locations.
[0013]
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rim flange can be turned around the top surface by turning the device so that the hole is kept away from the opening of the can. This provides a closing function in a simple but efficient way, in addition to other advantages. In order for this closing function to work properly, the spring force created by the rim flange when snapping onto the top surface allows this sliding engagement. Since the tear ring can usually be rolled over the can opening means, the ring turns with the device on the top surface of the can.
[0014]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
1 to 5 show a first embodiment of a device according to the invention for pouring and drinking beverage cans. The device has a cover 3 with an annular flange 4. The annular flange 4 is large enough to be mounted on the top of the can. The flange 4 allows the device to be mounted by a snap fit. The device is provided with a hole 6, which can be arranged just above the opening in the top surface 5 of the can 1 (see FIGS. 1 and 5). A drinking mouth 7 is provided around the hole 6. The device is formed so as to contact at least the top surface 5 of the can 1 at the periphery of the hole 6 or at the hole 6 provided with a drinking mouth 7 projecting upward. Thereby, the liquid in the can can be poured from the can into the cup, or the can 1 can be directly drunk. The cover flange opposite to the hole 6 is formed with a recess 9 projecting upward, and the tear ring 2 serving as a means for opening the can is closed. Inside or below the cover 3, a sealing flange 8 is provided around the depression 9 to close the tear ring 2 and to define a gap between the lower side of the cover 3 and the top surface 5. As a result, liquid is prevented from flowing between the opening and the peripheral region on the top surface. This is important because deposits of dirt and other impurities often collect in these areas.
[0015]
The sealing flange 7 prevents these deposits from coming into contact with the beverage, and as a result, prevents the deposits from being washed out into the cup.
[0016]
The cover 3 can be provided with an annular peripheral part 11 recessed inside the rim flange 2. This collects the drops of the beverage flowing on the outside of the drinking spout, so that, for example, a ring-shaped trace is not left on the table on which the can is placed after the can has been emptied.
[0017]
In the first embodiment, the extension flange 10 is provided on the rim flange 4 outside the spout 7. This extension prevents the lips from touching the can itself, thus ensuring a comfortable drinking sensation when drinking directly from the can 1.
[0018]
The extension flange 10 can be provided with an advertisement, a logo, a personal mark, a name or the like.
[0019]
In a second embodiment, the device can be provided with a wide rim flange 4 as shown in FIG. Otherwise, the device can also be provided with the same features as described in the first embodiment, namely a sealing flange 8, a drinking spout 7, a hole 6 and the like. The wide rim flange 4 improves the grip on the can.
[0020]
The spout 7 is preferably substantially semi-circular and there will be a passage for air to enter the can while the liquid is being poured from the can. This prevents the liquid from flowing out at once.
[0021]
It is understood that the present invention can make many variations of drinking and pouring devices without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
