[Industrial applications]

本考案は、内部に清涼飲料などの飲料を詰める飲料用缶に関し、特に、その回収の容易な構造の改良された飲料用缶に関する。 The present invention relates to a beverage can having a soft drink or the like filled therein, and more particularly, to a beverage can having an improved structure for easy collection.

【０００２】[0002]

[Prior art]

清涼飲料などの飲料を詰める飲料用缶は、特に、自動販売機などの普及などに伴って、従来の瓶詰めに代わって、飲料を詰めるための重要な収納保存材料として地位を占めるに至っている。近年においては、特に、いわゆるアルミニウムのアルミ缶が、その加工性や、経済性、軽さなどから多用されている。 Beverage cans for filling beverages such as soft drinks have come to occupy a position as an important storage and storage material for filling beverages in place of conventional bottling, especially with the spread of vending machines. . In recent years, in particular, so-called aluminum cans have been widely used because of their workability, economy, and lightness.

【０００３】一方、近年においては、特に、自然環境の破壊を防止や自然保護、さらには、消費財のリサイクルという意味からも、内容物を消費した後の収納材である缶の回収が問題となっている。また、観光地などにおける空き缶の散乱なども生活環境の美化の点からも問題となっており、その回収のために相当の人手や費用が費やされている現状である。On the other hand, in recent years, in particular, from the viewpoint of preventing the destruction of the natural environment, protecting the nature, and recycling consumer goods, there is a problem in collecting cans, which are storage materials after the contents are consumed. Has become. In addition, the scattering of empty cans in tourist areas is also a problem from the viewpoint of beautification of the living environment, and the current situation is that a considerable amount of manpower and costs are required to collect them.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

すなわち、上記のような問題点は、特に、飲料用缶においては、一般に、自動販売機などにより容易に販売され、消費されるが、内部の飲料を消費後は、その大きさがかさばるため、消費者がこれを持ち帰って回収場所に捨てることを嫌い、容易に周囲に捨てることが大きな原因となっている。また、現在普及している飲料用缶は、円筒状の側面からは容易に潰れやすいものの、潰れた後のその形状は、あまり小さなものとはならない。 In other words, the above-mentioned problems, especially in beverage cans, are generally easily sold and consumed by a vending machine or the like, but after consumption of an internal beverage, the size thereof is bulky. Consumers don't like to take it home and throw it away at the collection site, and the easy reason is that it is easily thrown away. Also, the beverage cans currently in widespread use are easily crushed from the cylindrical side surface, but the shape after crushing is not so small.

【０００５】そこで、本考案では、かかる消費者における飲料用缶の問題点に鑑み、すなわち、内部の飲料を消費後はその大きさが著しく小さく確実に潰れる飲料用缶を提供することを目的とするものである。Therefore, in view of the problems of beverage cans for consumers, the present invention proposes to provide a beverage can that is extremely small in size and can be reliably crushed after the internal beverage is consumed. It is intended.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

かかる目的は、本考案により提案される飲料用缶であり、金属薄板を円筒状に成形し、その底部と蓋部を封止してその内部に飲料を詰め、かつ、前記蓋部には、人手により容易に開口可能な開口部を形成して成る飲料用缶であって、前記円筒状部の表面には、前記円筒状部の縁部に対して略垂直方向に複数の谷折り線を形成すると共に、前記谷折り線の一方の端部から隣接する谷折り線の他方の端部へ向かって傾斜方向に山折り線を形成した飲料用缶により達成される。 Such an object is a beverage can proposed by the present invention, in which a thin metal plate is formed into a cylindrical shape, a bottom portion and a lid portion thereof are sealed, and a beverage is packed in the inside thereof, and the lid portion includes: A beverage can having an opening that can be easily opened by hand, wherein a plurality of valley fold lines are formed on the surface of the cylindrical portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to the edge of the cylindrical portion. And a mountain can fold line is formed in an inclined direction from one end of the valley fold line to the other end of the adjacent valley fold line.

【０００７】[0007]

[Action]

すなわち、上記の本考案により提案された飲料用缶によれば、当該飲料用缶の内容物である飲料を消費した後は、消費者はこれをひねりながら圧縮することにより、前記筒状部の表面に形成された谷折り線と山折り線によって容易にかつ確実に潰れ、その形状も円盤状に潰れることとなる。 That is, according to the beverage can proposed by the above-mentioned present invention, after the beverage, which is the content of the beverage can, is consumed, the consumer twists and compresses the beverage so that the tubular portion is The valley fold lines and the mountain fold lines formed on the surface of the crush easily and surely crush it, and its shape also crushes into a disk shape.

【０００８】[0008]

【Example】

以下、本考案の一実施例について、添付の図面を参照しながら、詳細に説明する。まず、図１に本考案の実施例になる飲料用缶の圧縮前の状態が示されている。この飲料用缶１０は、例えばアルミニウム等の金属薄板を筒状に成形し、その底部と蓋部を閉止してその内部に飲料を詰める。なお、蓋部１１には、リング状のタブ１２が取り付けられ、このリング状タブ１２を指などで上側に押し上げることにより、表面に予め形成しておいた略円形の切り裂き溝１３に沿ってその一部が切り裂かれて缶の内部に押し込まれて開口され、この開口から内部の飲料を飲むことが出来るようになっている。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, FIG. 1 shows a state of a beverage can according to an embodiment of the present invention before compression. The beverage can 10 is made by forming a thin metal plate of aluminum or the like into a tubular shape, closing the bottom and the lid, and filling the inside of the beverage can. A ring-shaped tab 12 is attached to the lid portion 11, and the ring-shaped tab 12 is pushed upward by a finger or the like so that the ring-shaped tab 12 is formed along a substantially circular tear groove 13 formed in advance on the surface. A part of it is cut and pushed into the can to open it so that you can drink the beverage inside.

【０００９】そして、本考案によれば、上記の飲料用缶１０の円筒状部の表面１４には、谷折り線１５と山折り線１６が複数形成されている。まず、谷折り線１５−１、１５−２…は、飲料用缶１０の円筒状部の縁部１７に対して略垂直な方向に形成されている。また、山折り線１６−１、１６−２…は、前記の谷折り線１５の一方の端部から隣接する谷折り線の他方の端部へ向かって傾斜した方向に、より具体的には、山折り線１６−１は、谷折り線１５−１の一方の端部である上端から、隣接する谷折り線１５−２の他方の端部である下端へ向かって斜めに形成されている。According to the present invention, a plurality of valley fold lines 15 and mountain fold lines 16 are formed on the surface 14 of the cylindrical portion of the beverage can 10 described above. First, the valley fold lines 15-1, 15-2, ... Are formed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the edge 17 of the cylindrical portion of the beverage can 10. Further, the mountain fold lines 16-1, 16-2, ... More specifically, in a direction inclined from one end of the valley fold line 15 to the other end of the adjacent valley fold line, more specifically. The mountain fold line 16-1 is formed obliquely from the upper end which is one end of the valley fold line 15-1 to the lower end which is the other end of the adjacent valley fold line 15-2. .

【００１０】谷折り線１５−１、１５−２…と山折り線１６−１、１６−２…の角度は飲料用缶１０の径と高さにより異ならせるのがよい。すなわち、飲料用缶１０の径が大きい程谷折り線１５−１、１５−２…と山折り線１６−１、１６−２…の角度を大きくし、飲料用缶１０の高さが高い程谷折り線１５−１、１５−２…と山折り線１６−１、１６−２…の角度を小さくするのがよい。The angle between the valley fold lines 15-1, 15-2, ... And the mountain fold lines 16-1, 16-2, ... Is preferably different depending on the diameter and height of the beverage can 10. That is, the larger the diameter of the beverage can 10, the larger the angle between the valley fold lines 15-1, 15-2 ... And the mountain fold lines 16-1, 16-2. The angle between the valley fold lines 15-1, 15-2 ... And the mountain fold lines 16-1, 16-2.

【００１１】かかる飲料用缶１０は、その内容物を消費した後、内部が空になった場合、例えば手のひらによって時計方向にひねりながら上方から圧縮する。これにより、上記の円筒状部の表面に形成した谷折り線１５と山折り線１６に沿って畳み込まれるように容易に折れ曲がり、そのため、ひねりながら圧縮した後の飲料用缶１０は、図２に示すように、略円盤状の小さい形状に潰れることとなる。When the inside of the beverage can 10 becomes empty after the contents are consumed, the beverage can 10 is compressed from above while being twisted clockwise, for example, by the palm. As a result, the beverage can 10 after being compressed while being twisted is easily bent so as to be folded along the valley fold line 15 and the mountain fold line 16 formed on the surface of the cylindrical portion. As shown in FIG. 2, it is crushed into a small disc-like shape.

【００１２】[0012]

[Effect of device]

以上の詳細な説明からも明らかなように、本考案による飲料用缶によれば、内部の飲料を消費した後、ひねりながら圧縮することにより、容易かつ確実に大きさが著しく小さく潰れ、そのため、廃缶の回収が容易であり、もって、自然環境の破壊を防止や自然保護、さらには、消費財のリサイクルという意味からも優れた飲料用缶を提供することが可能になると言う実用的にも優れた効果を発揮する。 As is clear from the above detailed description, according to the beverage can of the present invention, after consuming the inner beverage, the beverage can is easily and surely crushed into a significantly small size due to compression while twisting. In addition, it is possible to collect waste cans easily, and it will be possible to provide excellent beverage cans in terms of preventing the destruction of the natural environment, protecting nature, and recycling consumer goods. Also has an excellent effect.
