JPH08151043A - Drink can with a plurality of openings - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To make it easier to take a drink by providing a tab so as to be connected to the vicinity of the central portion of a top plate of a cover of a can by a rivet etc., and providing a plurality of scores disposed in such a manner that the starting point and terminal point of each score are located near the periphery of the rivet to form a plurality of openings. CONSTITUTION: A drink can includes a tab 3 connected to the vicinity of the central portion of a top plate 2 of a cover 1 of the can by means of a rivet 4, scores 7 which are disposed near the periphery of the rivet 4 in such 5 manner that the starting point 5 and terminal point 6 of each of the scores are located near the rivet 4 so as to be spaced apart from each other, and two opening pieces 8 each of which is surrounded by the score 7. And a portion of the plate 2 between the point 5 and the point 6 serves as a hinge to prevent the piece 8 from completely separating from the cover 1. And since one tab 3 is provided, two openings can be formed by one operation of the tab. Thus when one of the openings is used as a drinking port or a pouring port, the other one serves as an air port so that the drink in the can be easily taken and can be easily poured out of the can. And when a plurality of persons take the drink from the same can, the openings can be used separately so that reluctance to take the drink from the same can can be eliminated.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a push-open type beverage can having a plurality of openings.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A can lid of a beverage can is replaced by a pull-open type in which an opening piece forming an opening portion is removed from a can lid top plate, and the opening piece is not completely separated from the can lid top plate. The so-called push-open type, which pushes the inside of the container into the container, has become common, but there is only one opening on the can lid.

[0003]

The push-open type is structurally smaller in opening area than the pull-open type, so it is very difficult to drink directly from a can, and it is only possible to drink little by little. When pouring from a can to another container, the beverage in the can does not come out smoothly, and if it is a carbonated drink, it foams more than necessary and carbon dioxide gas escapes excessively. This is because the beverage that is about to leave the can and the air that is about to enter the can are exchanged with only one opening. Also, with one opening, many people feel resistance when a plurality of people try to drink directly from one can.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is directed to a tab connected to the top plate of a can lid by a rivet or the like at approximately the center thereof, a score provided with a start point and an end point around the rivet, and an opening surrounded by the score. It was decided to have a plurality of pieces.

[0005]

[Function] Each opening piece is separated from the score by pulling up the tab, and when one opening is formed downward and formed as a spout or spout, the other opening becomes an air hole, making it easier to pour. Cheap. Also, when a plurality of people drink directly from one beverage can, there is no resistance by dividing the opening.

[0006]

EXAMPLE A beverage can with multiple openings according to this example has a tab 3 connected to a top plate 2 of a can lid 1 by a rivet 4 at a substantially central portion, and a start point 5 and an end point 6 around a rivet 4. A push-open type beverage can having two open scores 7 and an opening piece 8 surrounded by the scores 7. The opening 7 is a hinge where the start point 5 and the end point 6 of the score 7 are separated from each other. Does not completely separate from the can lid 1.
(Fell down) Since there is only one tab 3,
As with a can with one opening 9, two tabs 9 can be made with one tab operation.

[0007]

The beverage can with a plurality of openings according to the present invention,
When drinking beverage directly from the beverage can, the beverage is very smooth when the beverage can is tilted because there are multiple openings. Therefore, it is easy to drink and you can enjoy it in a short time and enjoy it. If a carbonated drink is contained, it will not come out excessively even if poured into another container. And you can pour in a short time. Also, multiple people can drink directly from one can without feeling reluctant.
