Description

Structure of a can that can be safely opened}

The present invention relates to the structure of a can that allows safe opening. More specifically, the lid of cans storing various beverages or food can be opened and closed through a rotation method without sharp edges when opening, thereby improving safety. Convenience is improved, and the excellent sealing ability allows you to consume drinks or food whenever necessary. At the same time, it prevents the inflow of foreign substances and blocks air, preventing food from deteriorating, making it safe to open and consume drinks or food safely. This is about the structure of a possible can.

Typically, Nicolas Appert, known as the father of canning, first developed a method of storing food for a long time by heating it to sterilize it, then putting it in a glass bottle, closing it with a cork, and sealing it. This method was used to create cans in 1962. ) Beverage cans became popular as a method of easily opening them with a detachable handle (pull tab) on the lid was developed. At first, these cans were sold using iron to contain canned food, butane gas, beer, beverages, etc., but now aluminum cans are used for most food products to reduce weight and use aluminum, which has good heat conductivity, to keep food fresher and longer. did. In addition, the detachable handle is often used as an attached handle (Stay on tab) that is integrally attached to the can. However, these detachable and attachable handles can cause injuries due to cuts on the hands with sharp parts when opening, or the upper surface of the can. Inconvenience and injury could occur in the process of opening the handle that was tightly attached to the can with a fingernail, and once the handle was initially removed, the can could not be sealed again, causing problems such as forcing food to be consumed or thrown away.

For example, according to Korean Registered Utility Model Publication No. 200454700, the main body 110 has a hollow portion inside to accommodate the contents, and a guide jaw 111a is formed to protrude along the circumferential direction at the upper end of the inner circumferential surface; A can top 120 that closes the upper part of the main body and has an opening 121 on a portion of the upper surface that can be collapsed by pressure; a beverage outlet 122 located below the opening 121 and extending downward from the can top 120 and having a bent end; A tab handle 130 rotatably attached to the center of the can top plate by a central pin 132 and having a tab nose 131 that presses the opening piece 121; and a rotary opening 140 that is fixedly coupled to the lower end of the central pin 132, is rotatably inserted and supported in the guide jaw 111a, and has an opening 143 penetrating a portion of the upper surface. An aluminum can having a one-touch handle and a rotating opening/closing assembly is presented.

However, according to the above prior literature, the aluminum can having a one-touch handle and a rotating opening/closing assembly is configured to store and store the remaining beverage even after one use by opening the beverage hole. However, if the tab handle is turned when storing the beverage after ingestion, the can Beverages could leak out between the top plate and the rotating opening, or drinks could only be easily discharged if the opening and opening part matched, causing inconvenience.

As another example, according to Korea Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-0203506, the auxiliary lid (5) for aluminum cans is made of a thin, soft plastic material, and when mounted by pressing on an existing aluminum can, the hook (8) of the auxiliary lid is used to attach the can (4). ) is caught on the edge of the upper lip (3) of the aluminum can (4) to prevent harmful substances to the human body from sticking to the upper part (1), (2), (3) during distribution and storage of the product, and the user can After opening the outlet (1) of (4), the lid (5) can be closed again to prevent the contents from spilling due to the user's carelessness. In addition, aluminum can products are displayed stacked on top of each other as in the past. When stored, the protruding jaw (7) at the bottom of the aluminum can (2) is designed to fit into the upper groove (6) of the auxiliary lid, so that the upper and lower cans (4) do not separate from each other. Provides auxiliary lids for cans.

However, according to the preceding literature, the auxiliary lid for aluminum cans was formed to store the contents by covering the auxiliary lid, but it was difficult to completely seal it because the consuming person had to remove the auxiliary lid while the contents poured into the space between the can and the auxiliary lid. .

As another example, according to Korean Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-0191406, in an aluminum can opener, a deep groove (2) is formed at the area where the finger is inserted and the area where the opener's finger touches (4) is angled to open the finger. We present an easy-to-open aluminum can opener that can be sufficiently hung.

However, according to the above-mentioned prior literature, the aluminum can opener secures a space for inserting a finger to prevent injury and allows the can to be easily opened, but there is a problem in that the food cannot be stored inside.
