[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a can container for beer, carbonated drinks, soft drinks and the like, and more particularly to the structure of a spout formed on the upper surface of the can.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, in a can container for beverage, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, an upper surface lid 51 is joined to an upper end of a side body plate 52 via a winding tightening portion 53. Separation lever tabs and pull tabs are provided. When the tab 57 is pulled up, the planned cut line 56 formed on the upper lid 51 is broken and the spout 60 is opened. When the can container is tilted in this state, the content liquid is discharged from the spout 60. Will be poured out. An annular groove 54 is formed on the upper surface lid 51 inside the winding tightening portion 53. The annular groove 54 facilitates the upper surface lid 51 when the tab 57 is pulled to break the planned cut portion 55. The rib acts so that it does not deform.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional spout 60 is formed near the center of the upper surface cover 51 with some distance from the annular groove 54. According to such a conventional pouring outlet 60 position, as shown in FIG. 7, since the outermost opening edge 60a of the pouring outlet 60 is formed apart from the outer periphery of the can container from the center. Even if the canister is tilted, the content liquid is blocked at the opening edge 60a on the outer peripheral side of the spout 60, so that when the content liquid in the can container becomes low, the can container is not turned upside down. And all the content liquid cannot be poured out, and it will remain in the can container.

Further, when drinking is interrupted midway and the tilted can container is returned to its original state, a part of the liquid poured out from the pouring port 60 remains on the upper surface lid 51, and this liquid is discharged from the upper surface lid 51. It flows into the annular groove 54 which is formed at the lowest position on the 51, wraps around the annular groove 54 and accumulates. If the content liquid collects in the annular groove 54, the dust and the like in the annular groove 54 will be mixed into the content liquid, and the content liquid containing the dust and the like will be drunk when drinking again. Target. Further, if the content liquid remains in the annular groove 54, it may give a bad impression visually, which is not preferable in appearance.

Furthermore, when the can container is turned upside down by assuming that all the content liquid has been poured out without noticing that the content liquid remains inside the annular groove 54 and the can container, The liquid content remaining inside the container may spill out, causing problems such as soiling the floor, table, clothes, or books.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances. The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the content liquid remaining inside, and to prevent the content liquid from remaining in the annular groove 54. It is intended to provide a container.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention of claim 1 is characterized in that a side body plate having a closed lower end is joined to an upper end of the side body plate through a winding fastening portion, and an upper end of the side body plate is A closed top lid, an annular groove formed adjacent to the inside of the winding portion of the top lid, a tab attached to the top lid, and a cut provided by pulling up the tab provided on the top lid. In the can container provided with a planned cut line for opening the spout on the upper lid, a part of the planned cut line extends into the annular groove, and when the planned cut line is cut, Part of the spout to be opened is located in the annular groove.

According to the above configuration, since the outer peripheral opening edge of the spout is in contact with the annular groove, it is close to the outer circumference of the upper lid, and the content liquid blocked by the outer peripheral opening edge of the spout is The amount is much smaller. Therefore, all or almost all of the content liquid can be poured out without completely inverting the can container.

Further, since part of the spout is formed in the annular groove, the content liquid overflowing from the spout and trying to collect in the annular groove flows into the can from the spout before flowing into the annular groove. It will fall down. Therefore, the content liquid does not remain in the annular groove, dust and the like are prevented from mixing with the content liquid, and it is excellent in hygiene and preferable in appearance.

Further, even if the can container that has been turned upside down is turned upside down again, the content liquid does not spill down because little liquid remains inside the annular groove and the inside of the can container. It is also possible to prevent problems such as soiling documents and documents.

[0011]

[Embodiment of device]

 The present invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 is a perspective view of the can container, FIG. 2 is a plan view, FIG. 3 is a sectional view, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the can container in a tilted state.

The can container comprises an upper lid 1 and a side body plate 2 whose lower end is closed. The side body plate 2 is formed of aluminum or steel into a cylindrical shape, and the lower surface opening is formed as a bottom plate (not shown) integrally formed with the side body plate 2 or separately from the side body plate 2. It is closed by a bottom plate (not shown). The upper lid 1 is watertightly joined to the upper end opening of the side body plate 2. A winding tightening portion 3 is formed on a peripheral portion of the upper surface lid 1, and the winding tightening portion 3 is locked to an upper end opening of the side body plate 2 and is caulked, so that the winding tightening portion 3 is a side surface. The upper end opening edge of the body plate 2 is sandwiched, whereby the upper surface lid 1 is joined to the side body plate 2. The tightening portion 3 is formed so as to project above the other portion of the upper surface lid 1.

An annular groove 4 is continuously formed in the top cover 1 in the circumferential direction adjacent to the inside of the winding tightening portion 3. A planned cutting portion 5 is formed on the upper surface lid 1. The planned cut portion 5 is surrounded by a thin cut planned line 6.

A non-separable lever tab 7 is attached to the planned cutting portion 5. The non-separable lever tab 7 has a ring portion 8 for hooking a finger to raise the non-separable lever tab 7, and the non-separable lever tab 7 is connected to the above-mentioned cut portion 5 via a rivet 9. . When the finger is put on the non-separation lever tab 7 and pulled up, the planned cutting part 5 is pushed downward by the lever principle, whereby the planned cut line 6 is broken and the planned cutting part 5 is pushed downward. Be done. Therefore, the spout 10 is opened in the top cover 1.

In the present embodiment, the planned cut line 6 extends from the vicinity of the center of the top cover 1 to the annular groove 4 and is formed so as to hang on the annular groove 4. Therefore, a part of the planned cutting part 5 is also formed so as to hang on the annular groove 4, and when the planned cutting part 5 is cut and the spout 10 is opened, part of the spout 10 is formed in the annular groove. It is designed to be positioned inside the No. 4, for example, the bottom.

According to such a configuration, when the tab 7 is pulled to open the spout 10, since a part of the spout 10 extends to the bottom of the annular groove 4, the spout 10 has an outer peripheral side. The gap between the opening edge portion 11 and the outer periphery of the top cover 1 is almost eliminated. Therefore, when the can container is tilted as shown in FIG. 4, the amount of the content liquid blocked by the opening edge 11 of the spout 10 is significantly reduced, the content liquid is easily poured out at the time of drinking, and the content liquid is almost the same. It will not remain.

Further, when the can container is returned to a horizontal state during drinking, the content liquid flowing out from the spout 10 tends to flow down into the annular groove 4, but the opening edge 11 of the spout 10 is formed into the annular groove 4. Since a part of the annular groove 4 is located inside the container and serves as the spout 10, the content liquid flows down into the can immediately from the spout 10 without going around the annular groove 4.

Therefore, the content liquid is prevented from flowing into the annular groove 4 and returned to the inside of the can, so that the content liquid is less likely to be mixed with dust. Therefore, when the can container is put in the mouth again and the contents can be drunk without dust, it becomes hygienic.

Further, since a part of the spout 10 is opened in the annular groove 4, the content liquid that tries to collect in the annular groove 4 flows down into the can, and the content liquid does not remain in the annular groove 4, It has become very pleasing in appearance.

Further, even if the can container is tilted or turned upside down assuming that all the liquid content has been drunk, the liquid content hardly remains in the annular groove 4 or in an invisible part inside the can. It prevents accidental spills on clothes, documents, etc., and prevents problems such as soiling them.

The present invention obtains a special operation and effect by the above configuration, but the spout 10 of the present invention may have any shape, that is, a part of the spout 10 is engaged with the annular groove 4. Just go. Further, the spout 10 does not necessarily have to reach the bottom of the annular groove 4, and may be provided anywhere on the annular groove 4 as long as the content liquid flows well into the can container. The tab may be a lever tab or a pull tab.

[0022]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the content liquid can be easily poured out, less content liquid remains inside, and the content liquid does not remain in the annular groove. It is possible to provide a can container excellent in appearance and hygiene.
