  Examples of the best mode for carrying out the invention are shown below.

1 to 6 show a first embodiment of a pull-top can according to the present invention which is easy to open and has a high advertising effect. In this embodiment, a case where a soft drink is accommodated in a pull-top can which is easy to open and has a high advertising effect will be described as an example.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pull-top can 10 that is easy to open and has a high advertising effect is an aluminum can made of aluminum, and an upper end surface 12 is formed on the upper end of the can body 11 in which a soft drink is accommodated. Is formed. The upper end surface 12 is formed with a weak line 14 having a substantially U shape as a weak part in plan view, and an opening part 16 is defined by the weak line 14.
As shown in FIG. 2, an opening tab 20 having a substantially elliptical shape in plan view is tilted on the upper end surface 12 through a flange 18 so as to be along the upper end surface 12 toward the side opposite to the opening portion 16. It is provided in the state. Further, the base end portion 20 </ b> A of the unsealing tab 20 is positioned above the unsealing portion 16.
The opening tab 20 is formed with a first hole 22 and a second hole 24 side by side. By forming the first hole 22 so as to penetrate therethrough, a bridge portion 26 is formed at the distal end portion 20 </ b> B of the opening tab 20.
An opening assisting tab 30 is attached to the bridge portion 26 in a folded state. The opening assisting tab 30 is formed by vapor-depositing a metal such as aluminum on a thin sheet body, and is difficult to tear even if the opening assisting tab 30 is pulled strongly or the opening assisting tab 30 is wet. ing.
As shown in FIG. 4, the opening assisting tab 30 is formed with a first piece 34 and a second piece 36 across a central portion 32. The first piece portion 34 and the second piece portion 36 are wider than the central portion 32 and are formed in a substantially circular shape. Since both the first piece portion 34 and the second piece portion 36 are formed to be narrower than the width dimension of the first hole 22 formed through the opening tab 20, the first piece portion 34 and the second piece portion 36 are inserted into the first hole 22. It is easy to attach when the opening assisting tab 30 is attached to the bridge portion 26.
An adhesive 38 is applied to the back surface 34A of the first piece 34 and the back surface 36A of the second piece 36. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6, when the first piece 34 is folded back at the central portion 32 and the first piece 34 and the second piece 36 are overlapped, the first piece 34 and the second piece 36 are bonded. Thus, a substantially circular knob 40 is formed.
Since the adhesive 38 is not applied to the back surface 32A of the central portion 32 of the opening assisting tab 30, the central portion 32 becomes annular and the bridge portion 26 is loosely fitted, thereby opening the opening portion. The auxiliary knob 30 can be rotated with respect to the opening tab 20.
As shown in FIG. 5, the surface 34B of the first piece 34 and the surface 36B of the second piece 36 of the opening assist knob 30 have a soft drink brand and product description contained in the can body 11. The advertisement description part 42 which can describe etc. is formed.
Accordingly, in the pull-top can 10 that is easy to open and has a high advertising effect, the brand and the like can be described not only on the outer peripheral surface 11A of the can body 11 but also on the opening assisting knob 30, and thus the advertising effect can be further enhanced. Even if the can body 11 is viewed from directly above, the brand etc. can be seen when the opening assisting tab 30 is viewed, so that the brand etc. can be advertised to consumers.

Next, the operation of the pull-top can 10 according to the first embodiment which is easy to open and has a high advertising effect will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when opening the pull-top can 10 that is easy to open and has a high advertising effect, the tab 40 of the opening auxiliary knob 30 is picked with a finger to open the opening auxiliary knob 30. Rotate to about 45 degrees (state shown in FIG. 2) and pull. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the distal end portion 20B of the opening tab 20 is pulled by the opening assisting tab 30 and the opening tab 20 is raised, so the proximal end portion 20A of the opening tab 20 places the opening portion 16 on the can body. 11 is pushed into the interior. Thereby, the can body 11 is opened when the fragile line 14 is broken and the opening 16 is pushed into the can body 11.
Therefore, in the pull-top can 10 that is easy to open and has a high advertising effect, even if the opening tab 20 is provided in a state of being tilted along the upper end surface 12 of the can main body 11, it can be opened simply by picking and pulling the opening assisting tab 30.

An advertisement description part 42 is formed. Therefore, since the consumer sees the brand or product description just by looking at the opening assisting tab 30 and becomes an advertisement, when the brand is described only on the outer peripheral surface 11A of the can body 11, the advertisement is promoted. Compared with this, the advertising effect can be further enhanced.
Further, the opening assisting tab 30 is arranged so as to be on the opening tab 20 as shown in FIG. 1 so as not to protrude sideways during production or distribution, but the opening assisting tab 30 is not rotated. Since it is attached so that it can be moved, if necessary at the time of product display, etc., it is easy to open the product by rotating the auxiliary opening knob 30 in the opposite direction. You may make it produce.
If a soft drink maker prepares a plurality of colors and designs to be applied to the opening assist knob 30, even if a friend purchases the same brand of soft drink and places the drink in the same place, the opening assist knob If you bought a pull-top can 10 with 30 different colors and designs that are easy to open and have a high advertising effect, the color and design of the opening assist knob 30 will serve as a discriminating marker and you will accidentally swallow other friends. You can avoid the situation of drinking for your hands.
