【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an example of an opening assisting tool for a container according to the present invention. The opening assisting tool 1 is made of metal such as stainless steel or brass and has a width of about 7 to 8 mm and a length of about 50 mm. It is composed of a band-shaped body having a thickness of about 2 mm, and is composed of a mounting portion 2 which is rounded at one end to be thin, and an operation portion 3 which is formed at the other end into a round sphere. This assisting tool 1 for opening is made of copper as a core material except for the operating portion 3, the spherical portion of the operating portion 3 is integrally formed with a magnet, and the whole is covered with gold plating or the like to improve the appearance. There is something. As shown in the figure, the opening assisting tool 1 is bent in a dogleg shape at a shallow angle from a portion near the center of the band-shaped body and near the mounting portion 2.

The opening assisting tool 1 can be used, for example, for opening a well-known pull-top type container made of an aluminum can provided with a pull tab having an annular raising portion on the upper plate surface as a knob. is there. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the pull-top type aluminum can has a curved opening line 6 that is opened on the upper surface 5 of the aluminum can 4 by breaking, and a pull tab 7 is attached by a rivet 8. . The pull tab 7 has a substantially elliptical shape, on one of which an annular raised portion 9 having a substantially circular through hole 10 is formed, and on the other side, the pull tab 7 is bent from the rivet portion. An annular pressing portion 11 capable of breaking the opening line 6 is formed.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the mounting portion 2 of the opening assisting tool 1 is inserted into the lower portion of the pull-up portion 9 of the pull tab 7 and the pull-up portion 9 is bent slightly upward. Then, by inserting the mounting portion 2 into the through hole 10 and pushing the operating portion 3 further upward as shown in FIG. 4, the raising portion 9 bends and is vertically raised, and at the same time, the pressing portion is pressed. The portion 11 pushes down the plate surface in the opening line 6 of the can and breaks from the opening line 6, and the broken portion bends vertically downward in the can to open the upper surface portion 5.

Then, the mounting portion 2 is pulled out from the through hole 10, and the upper end of the raising portion 9 in the vertical state is pushed down with a finger to bring it to the original horizontal state as shown in FIG. The contents can be easily swallowed through the opening without being disturbed by the sink portion 9.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the container opening assisting tool of the present invention. The opening assisting tool 21 has a U-shaped cross section into which the pull-up part 9 of the aluminum can is inserted at one end. The insertion portion 23 of the above and the mounting portion 22 formed of a plate-like portion 24 that contacts the lower portion of the raising portion 9 on the lower surface of the insertion portion 23, and the other end is formed of a spherical operation portion 25. It is a spoon type. When the pull-up portion 9 of the pull tab 8 of the aluminum can is inserted into the insertion portion 23 of the mounting portion 22 of the opening assisting tool 21, the lower portion of the pull tab 8 comes into contact with the plate-shaped portion 24. 22 can be attached to the pull tab 8, and the aluminum can can be opened in the same manner as described above by pushing up the operating portion 25 in this state.

FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the container opening assisting tool of the present invention. The opening assisting tool 31 has a holding piece at one end which is in contact with the upper portion of the pulling-up part 9 of the aluminum can. 33 and a mounting portion 32 having sandwiching pieces 34, 34 formed on both sides thereof in contact with the lower portion of the pull-up portion 9 at one end, and the other end is constituted by an operating portion 35 formed of a sphere similar to the above. It is a whole fork type. The opening assisting tool 31 clamps the pull tab 8 of the pull tab 8 of the aluminum can with the holding piece 33 on the upper part of the mounting part 32 and the holding pieces 34, 34 provided on the lower parts on both sides thereof. The aluminum can can be opened in the same manner as above by pushing up the operating portion 35 in this state.

FIG. 8 shows still another embodiment of the container opening assisting tool of the present invention. The opening assisting tool 41 has a shape in which one end of a pipe is flatly crushed, and a hole at a tip end of a pull tab 8 is provided. The mounting portion 42 is formed into a shape into which the pull-up portion 9 can be inserted, and the other end is a pipe type constituted by the operation portion 43 similar to the above. The pipe-shaped opening assisting tool 41 can be mounted by inserting the pull-up part 9 of the pull tab 8 of the aluminum can into the hole at the tip of the mounting part 42, and by pushing up the operating part 43 in this state. The aluminum can can be opened in the same manner as described above. Reference numeral 44 is a through hole provided in the operating portion 43, and the opening assisting tool 41 can be hung on a locking tool provided on a wall or the like by utilizing this through hole.

The assisting tools 21, 31 and 41 for opening shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 are opened by raising the pull-up portion 9 of the pull tab 8, and then the mounting portion is pulled out from the pull-up portion 9. By pushing the operating part back to its original state without removing it, it is much easier to operate and push back the pull-up part 9 than when pushing it back with a finger. There is nothing like this.

Further, the operating parts of the opening assisting tools 21, 31 and 41 are formed of magnets like the operating part of the opening assisting tool 1, and the other parts are made of a conductive metal material. Then, by holding the operating portion in the hand and touching the mounting portion at the other end with a conductive object, the electrostatic charge can be discharged.
