Description

캔을 쉽게 열 수 있는 구조{THE STRUCTURE OF EASYLY OPEN THE CAN}THE STRUCTURE OF EASYLY OPEN THE CAN}

본 발명은 음료용 캔(Can)에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 캔을 보다 쉽고편리하게 열 수 있게 하는 캔 개봉구조에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a beverage can (Can), and more particularly to a can opening structure that can be opened more easily and conveniently.

청량음료나 맥주 등의 음료 용기로는 종래 유리병이 일반적으로 사용되었으나, 부피가 크고 무거워 휴대가 불편하고 음용 후 유리병이 방치됨으로써 위험하고 환경오염을 일으킬 우려가 있는 등 여러 가지 이유에 의해 근래에는 스틸(Steel)이나 알미늄(Aluminium)으로 제작되는 일회용 캔으로 대체되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 캔은 부피가 적고 가벼울 뿐만 아니라 깨질 위험이 없으므로, 휴대와 보관이 편리하고 회수 및 재활용에도 유리한 장점이 있다.Conventionally, glass bottles have been generally used for beverage containers such as soft drinks and beer, but they are bulky and heavy, which makes them inconvenient to carry and may cause dangerous and environmental pollution by leaving the glass bottles after drinking. There is a situation that is being replaced by disposable cans made of steel (steel) or aluminum (aluminium). These cans are not only bulky and light, but also have no risk of being broken, so they can be easily carried and stored and have advantages in recovery and recycling.

캔은 캔 뚜껑을 일부 절취하여 개봉하도록 하고 있는데, 도 1과 도 2에는 캔을 개봉시킬 수 있도록 발명된 종래의 개봉구조가 도시되어 있다.The can is opened by partially cutting the can lid, and FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a conventional opening structure invented to open the can.

도시된 바와 같이, 캔 상부에 압착설치된 뚜껑의 일측면을 가벼운 힘을 가해 본체에서 분리시킬 수 있도록 절취선을 형성하고 그 일측에는 손잡이를 리벳 (Rivet)으로 체결하여 뚜껑의 상면에 밀착되게 구비함으로써, 손잡이의 안쪽에 손가락을 걸어 당기면 절취선을 따라 뚜껑의 일부가 절취되어 한 번의 동작으로 편리하게 캔을 개봉시킬 수 있게 하고 있다.As shown, by forming a perforation line to be separated from the main body by applying a light force to one side of the lid is installed on the top of the can, and one side of the lid is fastened to the upper surface of the lid by fastening the handle with a rivet (Rivet), When you pull your finger inside the handle, a part of the cap is cut along the perforation line so that the can can be opened conveniently in one operation.

여기서 캔 뚜껑을 절취하기 위한 절취선이 시작점과 종료점을 가짐으로써 완전히 연결되지 않은 형태로 구비된다. 즉, 캔 개봉 후에도 절취된 부분 일부가 뚜껑에 연결된 상태로 남아있게하여 뚜껑으로부터 완전히 분리되지 않도록 하였다. 또한, 손잡이는 손가락을 거는 걸이부와 리벳이음에 의해 절취선에 인접하여 뚜껑에 고정되는 고정부, 그리고 절취선 내측의 뚜껑면을 가압하기 위해 절취선 안쪽의 상측으로 위치되는 가압부를 구비하여 이루어진다.Here, the tear line for cutting the can lid is provided in a form that is not completely connected by having a starting point and an ending point. That is, even after the can is opened, a part of the cutout portion remains connected to the lid so that it is not completely separated from the lid. In addition, the handle is provided with a fastening portion which is fixed to the lid adjacent to the perforated line by the hook portion and the rivet joint, and the pressing portion located above the perforated line to press the lid surface inside the perforated line.

따라서, 걸이부에 손가락을 걸고 손잡이를 뚜껑 상방으로 젖히면, 고정부를 중심으로 걸이부 반대편의 가압부가 절취선 안쪽의 뚜껑면을 걸이부의 회동 반대방향인 캔 내부 방향으로 가압하여 절취선을 따라 뚜껑의 일부분이 절취되어 구부러지면서 캔이 개봉되는 것이다. 이와 같은 구조에 따라, 손잡이 및 절취된 뚜껑의 일부분은 개봉 후에도 캔으로부터 완전히 분리되지 않고 잔류함을 알 수 있다.Therefore, when the user puts a finger on the hook part and flips the handle upward, the pressurization part opposite the hook part centers on the fixing part and presses the lid surface inside the perforation line toward the inside of the can opposite to the rotation of the hook part, so that a part of the lid is along the perforation line. The can is opened as it is cut and bent. According to this structure, it can be seen that portions of the handle and the cut lid remain after being opened without being completely separated from the can.

그런데, 상술한 바와 같은 기존의 캔 개봉구조들을 보면, 소비자의 손가락을 걸기 위한 손잡이가 캔 뚜껑에 밀착되어 있어 최초에 손가락을 끼우기 위해 손톱이나 손가락 마디 끝으로 이를 뚜껑 표면으로부터 들어올려야 하므로, 소비자의 손톱을 다치게 되거나 통증을 유발하는 등 사용이 어렵고 불편한 단점이 있었다.By the way, in the conventional can opening structure as described above, the handle for holding the consumer's finger is in close contact with the can lid, so that it must be lifted from the surface of the lid with a fingernail or a fingertip to insert the finger first.
