[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 By the way, beverage cans are packed in cardboard boxes at the manufacturer and transported to sales destinations.The sales destinations then display and sell them at vending machines and showcases. Is done.

[0005] Therefore, during transportation or display sale of beverage cans, although dust easily adheres to the periphery of the drinking mouth of the lid of the can body, the beverage is put directly on the drinking mouth and the beverage is unsanitary. is there. Further, in the case of iced beverages, there is also a problem that dew forms on the body of the can body and when placed on a table or the like, dew condensation water flows down and wets the table or the like.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to fit a cap on the lid of the can main body and to attach the cap to the lid of the can main body during transportation or display sale. An object of the present invention is to provide a beverage can that prevents dust from adhering, and at the time of drinking, the cap functions as a saucer, and prevents dew water from flowing down and wetting a table or the like.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a can body having a cylindrical body, a can body having a bottom at one end of the body and a lid having a spout at the other end. A metal beverage can having a large-diameter portion on the lid portion side of the body portion of the can body and a small-diameter portion on the bottom side of the body portion, wherein the bottom portion and the lid portion are formed to have the same diameter. A cap which is detachably fitted and whose hem is in close contact with the large-diameter portion of the trunk is provided. When the cap is removed from the lid and fitted to the bottom as a saucer, the hem and the trunk are provided. A gap is formed between the small-diameter portion and the small-diameter portion.

According to a second aspect, the can main body according to the first aspect has a fastening portion in which outer peripheral edges of a bottom portion and a lid portion are wound around both opening edges of the body portion and protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the body portion. The cap has an engaging portion that elastically engages with the tightening portion.

A third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the cap of the first aspect is formed of a metal material, a synthetic resin material, or paper.

[0010] According to the above configuration, the lid is covered with the cap until the contents of the can main body are drunk, and dust does not adhere to the lid. By removing from the part and fitting to the bottom, the cap can be used as a receiving tray.

[0011]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a part of a beverage can with a cap fitted on a lid, and FIG. 2 is a front view of a part of a beverage can with a cap fitted on a bottom. is there.

The can body 1 of the beverage can is made of metal such as aluminum or steel, and has a cylindrical body 2, a bottom 3 that closes a lower end opening of the body 2, and a top end opening of the body 2. And a lid 4. A pull-top (not shown) is provided in a part of the lid portion 4, and a drinking spout (not shown) is opened by putting a finger on the pull-top and pulling it up.

The outer peripheral edges of the bottom portion 3 and the lid portion 4 have winding portions 3 a and 4 a which are wound around the opening edge of the body portion 2 and project from the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 2. The portions 3a and 4a are formed to have the same diameter.

A large diameter portion 5 is formed on the side of the lid portion 4 from the middle portion of the body portion 2 in the vertical direction, and the upper small diameter portion 6 is narrowed between the large diameter portion 5 and the tightening portion 3a. Is formed. Further, a lower small diameter portion 7 is formed in a constricted state between the large diameter portion 5 of the body portion 2 and the tightening portion 4a. Accordingly, engagement receiving portions 8 and 9 each having a step are formed over the entire periphery at the boundary between the winding portions 3a and 4a and the body portion 2.

A cap 10 is detachably fitted to the lid 4 of the can body 1 so as to cover the entire lid 4. The cap 10 is formed of metal, plastic, paper, or the like, and a tapered tubular skirt 12 is integrally provided on the outer peripheral edge of the disk-shaped cap body 11. Further, engaging portions 13 projecting in the inner circumferential direction at the inner circumferential portion of the hem portion 12 and elastically engaging with the engaging receiving portions 8 and 9 of the can main body 1 are provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. ing. When the cap 10 is fitted to the lid 4, the skirt 12 is in close contact with the large diameter portion 5 of the body 2 to prevent dust from entering the inside of the cap 10.

According to the beverage can configured as described above, the entire lid 4 is covered by the cap 10, and the skirt 12 is in close contact with the large diameter portion 5 of the body 2. Even if vibrations or shocks are applied during transportation by packing in a cardboard or the like, the cap 10 does not come off and no dust enters the inside of the cap 10. In addition, even if it is exposed to the weather during sales at an outdoor store, the lid 4 having the drinking mouth is covered with the cap 10, so that dust does not adhere to the lid 4, which is sanitary.

Furthermore, at the time of beverage, the cap 10 can be easily removed by pulling the cap 10 in the axial direction of the can body 1. When the removed cap 10 is fitted to the bottom 3 as shown in FIG. 2, the engaging portion 13 is elastically engaged with the engagement receiving portion 9 of the bottom 3 and the cap 10 is temporarily fixed to the can body 1. It becomes a saucer (coaster).

Moreover, since the skirt portion 12 of the cap 10 is formed to have a larger diameter than the lower small-diameter portion 7 of the body portion 2, a gap 14 is formed between the body portion 2 and the skirt portion 12 of the cap 10. You. Therefore, even if dew is condensed on the surface of the body 2 like an iced beverage and the condensed water flows down the body 2 and flows down from the gap 14 to the inside of the cap 10 serving as a receiving tray, the condensed water wets the table and the like. There is also no need to place beverage cans on paper, etc., and to wet the paper with condensation.

[0020]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the cap is fitted to the lid of the can body, so that the entire lid having the drinking spout is covered. It is sanitary without adhering. Furthermore, when drinking, the cap is removed and the cap is fitted to the bottom of the can body, so that the cap becomes a saucer.

Further, since the skirt of the cap is formed to have a larger diameter than the trunk, a gap is formed between the trunk and the skirt of the cap. Therefore, like iced beverages, dew forms on the surface of the body, and even if the condensed water flows down the body, it flows down into the cap as a saucer, without wetting the table etc. Even when placed on top, the documents do not get wet with condensation.
