[Industrial applications]

 This invention relates to a device for opening a beer or a canned beverage of soft drink.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Beer and canned beverages of soft drinks are widely used, but they are broadly divided into the opening devices, pull ring method that pulls the ring and pulls the plug integrated with it, and stands upright in the vertical direction. There is a pull-top method that pushes down the stopper with a connection part left in the container and returns the ring to the horizontal direction, but the latter is now the majority. By the way, since canned drinks are favored outdoors and in the car, it is preferable that the size of the drinking mouth is not too large.The pull-ring type and pull-top type stoppers are also used for such purposes. It is standardized to the size to achieve. However, this standard size mouth may be inconvenient.

For example, beer is often said to be the "first cup", but you want to taste it all at once, but with such a mouth you have to drink it twice or three times, I took a breath and didn't go as I expected. You can often see the scene of drinking it in a paper cup. Also, in drinking water containing grains such as grapes and nata de coco, it is a secret that it is delicious to drink grains with water, but almost all of them remain at the bottom of the can. You can often see the scene of hitting the bottom of the can and sucking it. If the cans are discarded while leaving the grains, they may cause foul odors and flies due to decay.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional situation, and in a canned beverage such as a beer or a soft drink having a pull-top type opening means, an opening apparatus that is as close to a glass drinking feeling as possible is provided. Try to provide.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs a pull-top opening means 2 on the upper surface of the can body 1, and a punching projection 5 is provided below the tip of the knob 4 of the tab 3 of the pull-top. Then, the tab 3 is partially connected to the upper surface of the can body 1 corresponding to the orbit in the horizontal rotation allowable range (the tab 3 is rotatably provided within a predetermined angle range around the clasp 3a). The small hole removing plug 6 having the portion 7 is provided to configure the opening device for canned beverages.

Further, in the above-mentioned configuration, the downward hole-piercing projections 5 of the tabs 4 of the tabs 3 are provided to the edges of the tabs 4 on the side where the small hole removing plugs 6 are provided. It is an opening device for canned beverages.

[0007]

[Action]

 In order to open a carbonated beverage can equipped with the opening device of the present invention, first, the tip of the tab 4 of the tab 3 is vertically erected to punch the drinking spout 8. Then push back the tab 4 of the tab 3 in the horizontal direction (up to this point, it is the same as the conventional pull-top opening operation of the conventional pull-top). Then, the hole punching projection 5 projecting downward from the tip of the knob portion 4 is aligned with the small hole punching plug 6 provided on the upper surface of the can body 1, and pressed from above. As a result, the small hole removing plug 6 is opened. That is, this punches out the air holes in addition to the mouthpiece.

Since the small hole removing plug 6 may be provided at any position on the track in the horizontal rotation allowable range of the tab 3, the small hole removing plug 6 is arranged in the same radial direction as the tab 3 is provided. When it is provided, it is as it is, when it is provided outside the diametrical direction, the knob 4 is grasped and the tab 3 is rotated in the direction of the detachment so that it fits the small hole removing plug 6. The punching protrusion 5 is pressed. In the latter case, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the downward hole punching projection 5 of the tab portion 4 of the tab 3 is brought close to the distal end portion of the knob portion 4 on the side where the small hole punching plug 6 is provided. In the embodiment provided as above, the small hole removing plug 6 can be opened at the shortest turning distance. If the small hole removing plug 6 is provided outside the diametrical direction in which the tab 3 is provided, the tab 3 does not face the hole removing projection 5 unless the tab 3 is rotated in the direction in which the tab 3 is removed. There is no risk that the small hole removing plug 6 will be punched out even if it is inadvertently pushed or if there is a shock during transportation.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 The present invention is as described above, and in addition to the drinking spout 8 which is opened by the pull top on the upper surface of the can body 1, the small hole removing plug 6 is provided as an air hole, so that the drinking comfort from the drinking spout can be made like a glass. In the case of beer, beer, etc., it is possible to taste so-called souvenirs all at once, and in the case of grain-filled beverages, it has become possible to dry the grain with water until the end. As a matter of course, pouring can be done quickly when transferring to a cup or the like. When opening the tap, the small hole removing plug 6 is punched after opening the drinking spout 8, so that there is no possibility that beer bubbles or carbonated drinking water with a temperature rise spouts from the small hole removing plug 6. . It is also possible to adjust bubbles by closing the small hole removing plug 6 after punching with a finger. Opening is basically done with a pull-top, and can be done very easily by extending the action of pushing back the tab by pushing the fingertip, and in some cases by combining the pivoting action and the pushing action. In addition, it will be a big advantage that the production cost can be kept to a minimum.
