JPH06298257A - Insulation cover for can - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an insulation cover for a can which can keep a beverage in a can, such as coffee or juice, warm or cold in a simple manner, which makes the hotness or coldness felt little when the can is held in a hand, and which can be made available at a low cost. CONSTITUTION:An insulation cover for a can consists of a sheet of foamed plastic 1, such as a foamed product of polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, or silicone rubber, and an elastic band 2 attached thereto.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heat insulating cover used for canned beverages such as canned coffee and canned juice.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, can holders have been put on the market which are attached to a blower opening inside a vehicle in order to keep can beverages sold by vending machines and the like warm. This keeps the temperature of the can warm by blowing hot air from the vent when the can is heated and cold air from the vent when the can is cooled.

[0003]

However, the can holder must be attached to the air outlet of the vehicle,
It looks bad, and even if it is ideally kept warm, it is inevitable that it will be too hot or too cold when held by hand. Furthermore, there is a drawback that the cost is high. In addition, canned beverages that are sold by vending machines, especially those that are heated, are often too hot to hold with your bare hands, so you can cool them until you can hold them with your bare hands or wrap them in a handkerchief or the like. It was inconvenient if I drank something that was cold enough to hold with my bare hands, I could not feel the original taste, and if I had no handkerchief at hand. Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the purpose thereof is to reduce the cost, keep warm, and make it difficult to feel the heat and cold of the can when held by hand. It is to provide a heat-retaining cover for cans that can be used.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of earnest research for achieving the above object, the present inventor can wrap a can with a foamed plastic sheet by a simple operation by attaching a rubber band to the foamed plastic sheet. The present invention has been completed by discovering that the heat and cold of the can can be made less likely to be felt when held by hand while keeping the can warm. That is, the gist of the present invention is a heat insulating cover for a can, which is characterized in that a rubber band is attached to a foamed plastic sheet.

The heat retaining cover for a can of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 1 is a foamed plastic sheet whose heat insulating property prevents the heat of the can from escaping. Specific examples include expanded polystyrene, expanded polyethylene, expanded polypropylene, expanded polyurethane, and expanded silicone rubber. In addition, these can be laminated with a film or printed as required.

Reference numeral 2 is a rubber band, which is attached to the foamed plastic sheet by the holder of 3.

[0007]

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, when it is used, it is wound around the can as shown in FIG. 2 and then the rubber band 2 is put on it and used.

[0008]

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will now be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a polyethylene foam sheet, and a rubber band 2 was attached by a stapler needle 3. As shown in Fig. 2, I attached this to a warm canned coffee and held it with my bare hands, but I didn't feel the heat.
After leaving for 5 minutes, I drank it but did not feel slimy. Under the same conditions, the normal condition was so hot that it could not be held with bare hands at first, but after leaving it for 15 minutes, it felt slimy after drinking. Moreover, after use, it was folded in four and put in a vinyl bag 4 as shown in FIG.

[0013]

As described above, the heat insulating cover for a can of the present invention has a small number of parts and is easy to assemble, so that it can be manufactured at a low cost, and the heat of the canned beverage can be maintained by a simple operation. At the same time, it can soften the heat and coldness of the can when held with bare hands. Also, by printing on the surface of the foamed plastic sheet, it can be used as a crude product with advertisement of a company or a store.
