Definitions

  • the invention refers to an improved drink can, being of the type that is made up of a hollowed out sheet body, having a side wall that extends from the base upwards, and with a lid whose edge is fixed in a permanent way around the periphery of the upper part of the side wall; said lid being fitted with an easy opening device, which includes a line of weakening that outlines a part of the lid which can be torn away by means of a ring pull.
  • drink cans having a hollowed out sheet body and a lid that is fitted in an immovable way to the mouth of the lid, the lid having a line of weakening aimed at forming the outline of an opening for the extraction of the drink when the breaking of the lid is made by means of lifting the ring pull.
  • the drink can aim of this invention, of the previously mentioned type, that is made up a hollowed out sheet body, having a side wall that extends from the base upwards, and with a lid being fitted with an easy opening device; it has the peculiarity that the hollowed out sheet body, forming the can has an internal vertical wall fixed to the entirety of its periphery at the bottom, to the side surface and to the drink can lid, forming two independent compartments inside said can for the purpose of containing two different drinks.
  • the drink can is able to hold two drinks separately that can be consumed on separate occasions or together forming a mixed drink, which resolves the problem explained in the previous section.
  • the can lid has separate means of easy opening in the zones corresponding to each one of the compartments. This facilitates the individualized opening and extraction of the drink contained in same.
  • compartments have been provisioned with respective valves connected to the area of the location of the easy opening device in order to allow the exit of the drink contained in one compartment when the can is inclined towards the corresponding side of said compartment keeping the other exit closed.
  • the aim of these valves is to prevent the involuntary spilling of the contents of any one of the compartments while the can is inclined in the opposite direction, in order to extract the contents from the other compartment.
  • FIG. 1 Showing a perspective view of the improved drinks can, in the lid of which, the means of opening of each one of the inner compartments can be seen.
  • FIG. 2 Showing a schematic section view of the can in a vertical plane in which the vertical wall can be seem which divides the can into two separate compartments for different drinks.
  • the drink can has a hollowed out sheet body, generically referenced in its entirety as ( 1 ) and which is made up of a side wall ( 11 ) that extends from the lower base ( 12 ) and by an upper enclosing lid ( 13 ) fixed around its periphery to the upper part of the side wall ( 11 ) in an immovable manner.
  • a hollowed out sheet body generically referenced in its entirety as ( 1 ) and which is made up of a side wall ( 11 ) that extends from the lower base ( 12 ) and by an upper enclosing lid ( 13 ) fixed around its periphery to the upper part of the side wall ( 11 ) in an immovable manner.
  • Said vertical wall ( 2 ) divides the internal separate space of the hollow body ( 1 ) into two compartments ( 21 and 22 ), which contain two separate drinks.
  • the lid ( 13 ) has some easy opening means ( 21 a and 21 b ) represented schematically by the respective ring pulls in the areas corresponding to each one of the separate compartments ( 21 and 22 ).
  • the compartments ( 21 and 22 ) have some easy opening means ( 21 a and 22 a ) connected to the respective compartments with some valves ( 21 b and 22 b ) that only allow the exit of the drink contained in one compartment ( 21 and 22 ) when the can is tilted sideways corresponding to said compartment ( 21 and 22 ).
