BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Reference numeral 1 indicates a beverage can, and reference numeral 3 indicates a beverage can cap. The beverage can cap 3 is formed of, for example, a synthetic resin such as polyethylene. The beverage can cap 3 comprises a cap body 5 fitted to the outer periphery of the upper end 1a of the beverage can 1, and a drinking port 7 projecting from the cap body 5, and a lid 9 is detachably attached to the drinking port 7. . The illustrated cap body 5 has a large inner diameter portion 5a and a small inner diameter portion 5b so that it can be used for two kinds of beverage cans 1 having different outer diameters at the upper end 1a. Further, in the illustrated example, the lid 9 of the drinking spout 7 is connected to the cap body 5 via the connecting cord 11.

It is desirable that one end of the cap body 5 is provided with a pull tab raising claw 17 for raising the pull tab 15 attached to the can lid 13 of the beverage can 1. As an example, the pull tab raising claw 17 extends one end of the cap body 5 in the horizontal direction to form an elongated portion 17a, and bends the tip of the extended portion 17a downward to form a bent portion 17b. Shall be done.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the beverage can 1 is housed in a bottomed heat insulating cylinder 21 having a cold and heat retaining effect with only the upper end of the beverage can 1 exposed, and is hung on the bottomed heat insulating cylinder 21. The beverage can 1 can be hung on the neck by attaching the lower cord 23 and hanging the hanging cord 23 on, for example, a person's neck. In this case, since it is not necessary to hold the beverage can 1 by hand, both hands can be used for other purposes. The reference numeral 25 is a through hole formed in the cap body 5 for inserting the hanging cord 23.
