[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heat-insulating holder which is used by fitting a can beverage to the outside of a can for drinking.

[0002]

2. Description of the Prior Art Since cans of canned beverages are made of metal and have a high thermal conductivity, they cannot be held by hand if they are overheated or cooled too much. Is common. In order to solve this problem, it is sufficient to wrap the can with something heat-insulating, and based on that idea, the invention of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-26244 has been proposed.

[0003] The idea has a configuration in which a heat insulating material is wound or attached around the can. However, it is difficult to achieve the object unless the heat insulating material is made of a material having a good heat insulating property. Also, since the idea is only surrounded by the can, the spout remains hot. On the other hand,
No. 124934 discloses a method of attaching an auxiliary drinking spout to the outer periphery of the upper end of a can body. However, this has the problem of being too far away from the spout and the beverage being too vigorously dispensed, and the aforementioned temperature problem remains unresolved.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problem, and the problem is to have a can and drink deliciously regardless of the temperature of the heated or cooled beverage. In addition, the temperature of the beverage must be maintained at a certain level of heat and cold.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a heat-insulating holder which is used by being fitted to the outside of a can for holding and drinking a canned beverage. Forming the main body 10 in a cylindrical shape having a possible depth,
Contact with the outer surface of the can, to form the ridge 11 of the order to obtain a heat insulating effect by forming an air layer on the inner surface of the body 10 between the whole or part and the can of the outer surface of the inner surface of the body 10, A plurality of projections and depressions 12 are formed on the outer surface of the main body 10, and a protruding edge 13 is formed at the upper end of the main body 10 to protrude so as to cover the drinking spout of the canned beverage in order to prevent the mouth of the drinker from coming into direct contact with the can. And an engaging step 14 for engaging the step at the upper end of the can and defining the position of the canned beverage and the upper end of the main body is provided at the upper portion of the inner surface of the main body.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The holder of the present invention comprises a main body 10 formed into a cylindrical shape for use by fitting it to the outside of a can. The illustrated holder relates to a can having almost no change in diameter from the bottom to the upper end, such as a 250 gr can and a 190 gr can,
Therefore, the inner diameter of the main body 10 is also substantially uniform. The depth of the main body 10 needs to be at least large enough to hang a finger. In this case, a dimension that is deeper than the combined length of the four fingers other than the thumb is appropriate.

When the main body 10 is fitted on the outer surface of the can C, it slightly floats, that is, in the present invention, a slight air layer is formed between the outer surface of the can and the inner surface of the main body 10.
This air layer also has a heat insulating effect both inside and outside. For this reason, a small ridge 11 is formed on the inner surface of the main body 10.
Exemplary protrusions 11 so as to surround the intermediate portion of Kangaimen in a ring shape, is provided with a plurality of locations at intervals, collision Article 11 of also one place have been divided into four (Fig. 3), tightly cans It is designed to fit and be easy to fit. Protrusion 1
The specific shape of 1 does not have to be ring-shaped.

[0008] On the outer surface of the main body 10, a large number of irregularities 12 are formed to reduce the contact area between the finger and the main body 10 and at the same time to prevent slippage. The irregularities 12 are formed as minute projections 12a.
And a concave portion 12b, and one convex portion 12a is intended to give as little heat as possible to a finger. For example, the smallest example of the projection 12a has a top dimension of 1 mm.
It was of the order of square, with dimensions of this order being the best. Examples of the unevenness 12 include a parallel streak portion 15 in the circumferential direction of the can.
And a lattice-shaped or point-like portion 16 is provided.

Further, in order to prevent the canned beverage from coming into direct contact with the mouth of the drinker, the upper end of the main body 10 covers the periphery of the canned beverage. As a result, the lip d of the can does not come into direct contact with the mouth of a person (see the dashed line in FIG. 2). In order to obtain this positional relationship, an engaging step 14 which engages with a concave step e formed on the outer periphery of the upper end of the can C and prevents the can beverage from projecting from the upper end of the main body is provided on the upper surface of the inner surface of the main body. Provided. The engaging step 14 may also be divided into several parts like the ridges 11 to facilitate attachment and detachment.

The upper and lower fixed width portions 17, 18 at the upper end and the lower end of the main body provided with the engaging step 14 are slightly thicker reinforcing portions, and the lower end 19 of the upper reinforcing portion 17 is a ridge. It projects inward to the same extent as 11.

The main body 10 can be manufactured by molding a synthetic resin material having good heat insulating properties. For example, polypropylene can be used as such a material. And as the resin can perspective a printing of the can surface, good when using a transparent or opalescent stuff
No. The holder may be of a repetitive type or a disposable type.

[0012]

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, even if the beverage in the can is heated to a temperature suitable for drinking or sufficiently cooled, the heat and cold sensation can be reduced. Since it is not transmitted to the hand and the heat of the spout does not irritate the lips of the drinker, the temperature of the drink can be optimized and the drink can be deliciously drunk. Alternatively, the rate at which the cold sensation escapes through the hands of humans is reduced, and therefore, the effect of exhibiting heat retention and cold retention is exhibited.
