Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to the structure of cans of carbonated beverages such as beer and low-malt beer.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In addition to conventional carbonated beverages such as beer and low-malt beer, beverage cans, including soft drinks, have openings on the top lid that serve as drinking holes when picking up and pulling up the stain tab, etc. attached to the top lid. Is formed, and a mouth is directly attached to the opening, and drinking is performed while tilting the can body.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 As described above, in the conventional beverage can, since the mouth is directly attached to the opening formed in the upper lid to drink, when the content is reduced, the can body is set so that the bottom side of the can is at a high position. I had to drink while tilting.

[0004] Therefore, in the case of carbonated beverages such as beer and low-malt beer, bubbles generated on the liquid surface when the can is opened are easily drunk together with the contents, and when the bubbles disappear, the opening is opened. Therefore, there is a problem that the taste of carbonated beverages such as beer is impaired due to the oxidizing action because air enters the can body. In addition, conventional beverage cans are unsanitary because the mouth is directly attached to the opening of the can lid.

[0005] In view of the above, the present invention makes it possible to drink most of the content without tilting the can body so that the bubble portion remains in the can body, and to enjoy drinking without impairing the taste. It is an object of the present invention to provide a carbonated beverage can that can be drunk without putting a mouth directly on the can.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device according to the first aspect of the present invention, in which a screw stopper serving as a drinking spout protrudes from an upper lid of a can body and the screw stopper part is provided inside the can body. A carbonated beverage can, characterized in that a suction pipe is vertically installed so as to communicate with the can, and the lower end of the suction pipe is opened at a position slightly above the bottom of the can.

[0007] The invention according to claim 2 is the carbonated beverage can according to claim 1, wherein a cap having an internal thread formed on an inner peripheral surface thereof is screwed to a screw stopper portion also serving as a drinking spout.

In the present invention, the suction pipe is suspended from the inside of the can body so as to communicate with the screw stopper part also serving as a drinking port protruding from the upper lid of the can body. It can be drunk while standing, and since the lower end opening of the suction pipe is located near the bottom of the can, it can be used to drink bubbles near the liquid surface when drinking. Even when drinking over a long period of time, the air bubbles can effectively prevent the oxidizing action of the contents.

In addition, since the cap having an internal thread formed on the inner peripheral surface is screwed into the screw stopper that also functions as a drinking spout, it is very much compared to a case where the mouth is directly attached to the opening of the can body to drink. It can be consumed hygienically.

[0010]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the specific configuration of the carbonated beverage can according to the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment. FIG. 1 is an external view showing an embodiment of the carbonated beverage can of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of a screw cap portion also serving as a drinking port in the carbonated beverage can of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a can body made of aluminum, steel, or the like, and reference numeral 2 denotes a screw stopper portion which also protrudes from an upper lid 3 of the can body 1 and also serves as a drinking spout. A male screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the screw stopper portion 2, and a cap 4 having a female screw formed on the inner peripheral surface can be screwed therein. The carbonated beverage inside is sealed by the cap 4. You.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a suction pipe vertically provided inside the can 1 so as to communicate with the screw stopper 2. The lower end of the suction pipe 5 is opened at a position slightly above the can bottom 6 as shown in FIG. 1, and therefore, most of the carbonated beverage in the can 1 is a screw stopper that also serves as a drinking port. 2 can be drunk by sucking it in the mouth.

[0013] The screw stopper portion 2 serving also as a drinking mouth may be made to protrude higher than in the illustrated embodiment so as to be easily included in the mouth. In addition, in the illustrated embodiment, the screw stopper 2 and the suction pipe 5 are also integrally formed, but the upper end of the suction pipe 5 is pressed into the lower end of the screw stopper 2. Alternatively, the communication state may be maintained.

When the screw cap 2 is provided on the upper lid 3 of the can body 1, in the illustrated embodiment, the lower end of the screw cap 2 formed of a synthetic resin material is provided with a peripheral portion of a through hole formed in the upper lid 3. The flanges 7, 7 are formed so as to hold the upper lid 3 so as to be sandwiched therebetween, and can be fixed to the upper lid 3 by the flanges 7, 7. However, other attachment means may be provided. Nor. Although not specifically shown, a small hole for ventilation that can be opened at the time of drinking may be provided in an appropriate place of the upper lid 3.

As described above, the present invention is such that the suction pipe 5 is suspended from the inside of the can 1 so as to communicate with the screw stopper 2 which also serves as a drinking port protruding from the upper lid 3 of the can 1. Yes, it is possible to drink the beverage inside while the can 1 is left standing without any tilt.

Moreover, since the lower end opening 8 of the suction pipe 5 is located slightly above the can bottom 6, it is not necessary to drink bubbles near the liquid surface together when drinking. Then, the liquid level of the carbonated beverage is covered. Therefore, even when the beverage inside is taken for a long time, the oxidizing action of the contents can be effectively prevented by the air bubbles, and there is no possibility that the taste is affected.

[0017]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, most of the contents can be drunk without tilting the can, and the liquid level of the carbonated beverage inside is always covered with bubbles. Therefore, the oxidizing effect can be prevented, and the flavor of carbonated beverages such as beer is not likely to be impaired. In addition, it is extremely hygienic because it can be drunk without putting a mouth directly on the can.
