Description

In the present invention, a hygienic condition at the time of factory shipment is maintained until drinking by covering a can cover on the drinking mouth side of a beverage can.
In addition, by making the material of the can cover the same as that for beverage cans, the disposal method (recycling) after drinking will be the same as that for beverage cans, eliminating the need for separate disposal of can covers, as well as during transportation and sales, etc. In order to prevent the can cover from coming off due to the vibration of the beverage, it has the same strength as that of the beverage can, and a lock mechanism for preventing it from coming off is added.

Beverage cans, where the mouth of the beverage can be used after drinking from the factory as a beverage, are handled in a bare state until drinking and are not protected to maintain hygiene. There was a problem.

Beverage cans are delivered to consumers through various processes after leaving the factory as beverages.
Therefore, the sanitary condition of the part that can be directly mouthed for beverage cans is influenced by the hygiene condition of the process, and it is difficult to say that the hygiene equivalent to that at the time of factory shipment is maintained even when actually drinking with a mouth. .
For example, the drinking mouth part of beverage cans is always exposed to the environment, such as when refilling the vending machine, the hygienic condition inside the vending machine and the outlet, the store display environment, the hygienic condition of the storage location at home, etc. In some cases, there is a possibility of attachment of various bacteria and dusts possessed by humans and animals and plants (particularly insects such as cockroaches), and it cannot be said that it is hygienic as a part that directly touches.
Therefore, the beverage can itself is covered with this can cover at the upper portion of the can where the mouth is attached, so that the sanitary condition at the time of shipment from the factory is maintained until just before drinking.

The present invention has the same material and processing method as the can on the upper part of the beverage can, on the side of the top of the beverage can that is used for drinking (the diameter of the thickness covers the beverage can. When a person actually drinks the sanitary condition of the mouthpiece of a beverage can by covering the can cover with a height of about 3 Cm after filling the beverage with a can cover made with a thickness of 2 times + α) To keep up.
The shape of the “drink mouth side can cover of the beverage can” is a shape in which the bottom of the beverage can is cut out at a height of about 3 Cm, and the diameter is increased to cover the beverage can.
As a lock mechanism to keep the cover covered to the end when covered with a beverage can, there are several diameters on the circumference of the bottom of this `` beverage can cover of the beverage can '' A hemispherical dent of about 2 to 3 mm (a hemispherical protrusion on the inside of the cover) is processed.
In addition, as a locking mechanism that holds the state when the beverage can is covered with the “drink side can cover of the beverage can”, the hemispherical protrusion of the “drink side can cover of the beverage can” is provided. A concave ring with a width and depth of about 3 mm to be received is processed at a height corresponding to the bulge when covered.
The “drink side can cover for beverage cans” removed at the time of drinking is applied to the bottom of the same concave ring so that it can be replaced with the bottom of the beverage can. The position of is a portion that is floated (distant) so that the outer can bottom of the beverage can does not touch the inner bottom surface of the “drink mouth side can cover of the beverage can”.

As described above, by covering the “drink can side cover of the beverage can” and shipping it, the portion of the drink can of the beverage can maintains the sanitary state at the time of shipment until immediately before drinking.
This “drink side can cover for beverage cans” can be fitted to the bottom of the beverage cans (can bottom) when drinking, so that it does not get in the way, and when storing beverages that could not be swallowed again, By removing the “drink mouth side can cover of the beverage can” from the bottom of the can and fitting back to the mouth side, it is possible to protect the mouth from dust and dirt.
Since the “drink side can cover for beverage cans” is made of the same material as the beverage can, it is the same as before when discarded (recycled).

The figure which looked at the state at the time of the factory shipment (just before drinking) which covered the drink can with the "drink side can cover of the drink can" of this invention from the diagonally upper front. The figure at the time of drinking which looked at the state which removed the "drink mouth side can cover of the drink can" and fitted in the bottom part of the drink can from the diagonally front. The operation | movement figure of the state which removed the "drink mouth side can cover of the drink can" from the drink can for drinking. The operation | movement figure which tries to fit "the drink side can cover of a drink can" on the bottom part of a drink can for drinking. The figure at the time of setting it as a spiral screw type as a locking mechanism when putting a "drink mouth side can cover of a drink can" on a drink can.

After the beverage is filled in the beverage can, it is shipped with the “can cover side of the beverage can cover” on the side where the mouth of the top of the can is placed, and immediately before drinking after the purchase by the consumer, Is removed from the beverage can, and it is inverted and fitted into the bottom of the beverage can to be drunk.
When you do not drink all the beverage and temporarily store the rest, put the “Beverage Can Side Cover” on the bottom of the can back into the top side of the top of the beverage can. Move and protect the mouth part of your mouth from pests.
After drinking, it is discarded (recycled) in the same manner as before, with the “drink side can cover of the beverage can” fitted on the bottom of the can.

A is a “drink mouth side can cover of a beverage can”, and can be fitted to the top and bottom of the beverage can (when the can is fitted to the bottom of the can, the top and bottom are reversed and fitted).
B is a beverage can, but C1 and C2 and the “Drink can side cover of the beverage can” can be fitted on the top and bottom of the beverage can so that the protrusion of D can be fitted Add a ring-shaped dent along the outer periphery of the can.
C and D can be a combination of concave and convex, or a combination of convex and concave, respectively.
E is a case where C1 and C2 are spiral, and D is a screw type in which the position coincides with it.

Today, it is no exaggeration to say that people around us are filled with harmful bacteria such as food poisoning represented by O-157 and epidemics such as influenza.
In order to avoid these risks as much as possible, it is recommended to wash hands, etc., but the essential part of the beverage can is not protected in the beverage can, and it is directly on the outer case of the product. It is unsanitary that it is attached.
