Abstract

An advertising medium that is more economical than printing directly on a can. SOLUTION: Impervious and durable, preferably with printed information and selectively perforated braille, having a structure similar to that of the can, cylindrical and bottom The present invention relates to a protective cover for a beverage can and an advertising medium, which is made of a tubular body 1 that is opened at the upper surface and has a dimension slightly larger than that of the can so as to cover the can along the side surface. The tubular body 1 is provided with at least one tearing means which comprises an elongate strip 3 partially pre-drilled or other similar known arrangement. Optionally, it has at least one tab (tab) 4 at its end to facilitate gripping it. In addition, under the tubular body 1, one or two additional metal foils 5 are included for hygienically covering and protecting the upper surface or both upper and lower ends of the can. It is assumed that this is possible. [Selection] Figure 1

Description

  The invention presented in this document relates to a protective cover for beverage cans and promotional media.

  More specifically, the subject matter of the present invention functions as a protective element with particularly hygienic properties and as a promotional medium for providing promotional advertising and public messages to beverage cans. Is the target cover. Appropriate hygiene so that the cover can be safely placed in the mouth and taken directly from the can without concern about the presence of dirt on the can before opening and possibly the presence of bacteria. The condition is guaranteed in an effective and simple manner on the surface of the can. Also, since the cover covers the entire can, it is much more economical and simpler to print promotional and public messages on the cover than conventional applications on metal. In an embodiment, it can be easily performed.

  As is known, beverage cans are a type of container and are widely used. Its main advantage is that no cups or other containers are required to consume the contents properly and comfortably, i.e. ease of use. However, this type of container has significant drawbacks. This means that any kind of material that overflows or deposits on simple dust or cans can be controlled in a warehouse or similar facility during transport (storage) or storage, which can be quite long. In general, the cans are susceptible to all sorts of accumulated soil, ranging from the excrement and urine of various animals (mouse, cockroaches, ants, flies) who “walk around freely” without having to.

  The problem has been solved in part by some examples, for example, the use of plastic “packs” or groupings of cans used by certain companies. However, the packaging is usually partially open and does not cover the can as a whole, nor does it contain any kind of safe seal. On the other hand, if the “pack” is divided into individual cans or smaller groups of cans, the packaging material is torn or directly eliminated, and when drinking directly from the cans, Cans that can reach the mouth are newly exposed even to non-hygienic elements such as pathogens.

  On the other hand, it is simpler and more economical to print information and / or official properties on a plastic auxiliary member than directly on the metal part of the can.

  Finally, another disadvantage is the fact that it is difficult to include messages and / or information directly on the can in the form of Braille that allows reading by people with visual impairments.

  Therefore, until the very moment when it is consumed by the user, some kind of protective element is created that guarantees the hygienic condition of the upper surface of each can, and it is also hoped that this protective element will also form an advertising medium. It is rare. This is the subject of the present invention. On the other hand, it should be noted that the existence of other elements having similar technical, structural and morphological features to the elements presented herein was not known.

  The protective covers and promotional media for beverage cans presented by the present invention offer significant novelty in the art. Its application makes it possible to achieve the object described above as being suitable. Details of the features are set forth in the appended claims.

  In particular, the presented cover consists essentially of a body made of a material that is sufficiently impervious and sufficiently durable, preferably thin plastic, vegetable plastic, cellophane or the like. . The body preferably has printed information and has a structure similar to that of the can, for example, installed by using a heat treatment technique (thermoforming) applied to the material. The Another possibility is to cover the entire can by selectively covering the top and bottom of the can by introducing a lid. Said cover advantageously has tear means. The tearing means is any of the means known in the art, and ensures that the can is in a sanitary condition and selectively has a corresponding side tab (tab) to facilitate opening of the cover. Introduced (incorporated).

  In addition to providing a more economical advertising medium than printing directly on the can, the assembly of the cover includes Braille in the cover to include publicity content and trademarks in Braille for the visually impaired. It should be noted that it also offers the possibility of being pierced.

  Such novel protective covers and advertising media for beverage cans represent an innovative configuration with structural features that have not been known for such purposes. This feature provides a sufficient basis for obtaining exclusivity, as well as practical use.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a protective cover and advertising media for a beverage can that is the subject of the present invention, the part appropriately placed on and constituting the can as intended. Like the element, it shows the manner in which it is installed. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment shown in FIG.

  To supplement the written description and to assist in a better understanding of the features of the invention, a series of drawings is attached as an integral part of this document. They are provided for illustrative purposes, but not for the purpose of limiting the invention.

  Referring to the drawings, the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises the elements and portions described in detail below, in accordance with the symbols used.

  As shown in the drawings, the cover of the present case is applicable as a protective member, in particular as a protective member having sanitary properties, as shown, and is intended for public messages or elements. Applicable as an advertising medium. The cover of the present case is basically composed of a tubular body (1) and is made of a material having an appropriate impermeability and sufficient durability, preferably a thin plastic, a vegetable plastic, a cellophane or the like, as a raw material. And preferably having printed information and selectively perforated for braille and having a structure similar to that of the can (2), ie the top and bottom edges Has a cylindrical structure with an opening and has a dimension slightly larger than the dimension of the can (2) so as to cover the can (2) along the side and is heated for its application When adapted, it conforms to the shape of the can and preferably covers the can in its entirety.

  Said tubular body (1) has at least one tearing means, such as a thin strip (3) or other known similar construction partially pre-indented or perforated, selected And at least one tab (4) to facilitate gripping it at its end.

  In addition, inside the tubular body (1) forming the cover, one or two additional ones can be hygienically covered and protected on the top surface or both the top and bottom surfaces of the can It is envisaged to have a metal foil (5). According to this aspect, an opening tab (knob) corresponding to the upper surface can be provided so that the sanitary condition of the upper surface of the can (2) can be reliably protected and drinking can be directly performed therefrom.

  Since the characteristics of the present invention have been fully described, as well as the manner of carrying out the present invention, a more detailed description of the present invention is provided by those skilled in the art in the fields of hygiene, advertising media, and the technical fields utilizing them It doesn't seem necessary for understanding. Within the scope of its essence, the invention may be practiced in other embodiments that differ only in detail from the embodiments described above which are given by way of example only.
