Application to manufacturing protected and reclosable metal cans for sparkling or non sparkling beverages.
Description
- The present invention concerns a metal can for beverages which is provided with a lid and protecting cover.
- Metal drink cans, that are made of steel or aluminum, enjoy an increasing market development for sparkling or non sparkling beverages, due both to the preservation quality they ensure for the beverages they contain and to their being easy to store, to transport and to use.
- Their success has been reinforced by the development of opening lids, formed in the can upper face, that can be torn off or more recently pushed in, which permits in particular to drink the beverage direct out of the can by bringing it up to the mouth.
- Such known cans however suffer from several drawbacks. Whereas the cans are filled and closed in a sterile atmosphere, their storage and transportation conditions will only afford a limited protection, when for instance a whole set of cans are wrapped together in a thermo-retractable film, generally on a pallet. Even that limited protection disappears when the cans are placed on store shelves, either individually or grouped in cardboard packages. As a consequence, drinking the beverage directly from the can will expose the consumer to a pollution that can be dangerous for his or her health.
- Another drawback of those known cans lies in the difficulties encountered in keeping the rest of the beverage in a can after part of it has been drunk, since the remaining liquid tends to spill out of the can and, in the case of sparkling beverages, to quickly loose the gas they contain.
- In an attempt to remedy to part or all of these drawbacks, it has been proposed (as disclosed in WO98/54 061 for instance) to provide the can with a cover or cap adapted onto its upper face that protects the top edge of the can during storage and transportation and is taken off for opening the can and drinking the beverage contained therein. Once the cap has been placed back after partial consumption of the beverage, it can prevent the liquid from flowing out, and in some cases, it can restrict gas leakage.
- Such covers, or caps, are generally made of polymer materials. They can be connected with the metal can by means of a ring attached to the latter, together with a tongue connecting the cap to that ring. Manufacturing and mounting this assembly are complicated and costly, even when the cap, tongue and ring are made integral. And again, mounting the one-piece assembly on cans already filled and sealed raises health problems.
- A major drawback of the above known caps results from their been made of synthetic materials, which requires recycling them separately from the cans and involves expensive costs.
- The present invention aims at solving the problems of known metal cans with protecting caps while still keeping costs at a minimum.
- For this purpose, the invention provides a metal box, or can, designed for beverages, that is provided with a protecting cover fitting all over the top edge of the can, said protecting cover being connected with the can through a tongue integral with the cover, characterized in that the cover and the tongue are integrally made as a single piece of the same metal or metal alloy as the can, and in that the end of the tongue opposite to the cover is fixed to the can.
- Since both can and cover, thus made integral together, consist of the same material, recycling used cans with such covers does not raise any problem from now on, and the total cost of the system can be substantially reduced.
- Depending on how the can and cover are made, the tongue can be attached to the can after it has been filled and closed, and filling and closing the cans can be performed without having to modify whatsoever the techniques and equipments used up to now for those operations.
- According to an embodiment of the invention, the end of the tongue is provided with slots that form between them articulating members adapted for cooperation with the top edge of the can.
- According to an alternative embodiment, the free end of the tongue is sticked on the can.
- According to another embodiment, the free end of the tongue is welded on the can.
- According to still another embodiment that enables optionally fixing the tongue after the can has been filled and closed, the free end of the tongue is fixed to the can by means of an adhesive or self-adhesive strip, and the latter is preferably made out of the same metal as the can and the cover with the tongue.
- According to another embodiment of the invention wherein the tongue is fixed while the can is being closed after its filling, the free end of the tongue is crimped in between the can upper face and the can top edge.
- According to an alternative embodiment, the tongue is made integral with the upper face of the can.
- The invention will be easily understood from the detailed description that follows, with reference to the attached drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic three-dimensional exploded, view of a first embodiment of the invention, -
FIG. 2 is a view similar toFIG. 1 concerning an alternative embodiment of the invention; -
FIG. 3 is a view similar toFIG. 1 relative to another alternative embodiment of the invention; - and
FIG. 4 is a view similar toFIG. 1 for I another further alternative embodiment of the invention. - The embodiments of
FIGS. 1 and 2 refer to embodiments of the invention wherein it is possible to attach the tongue to the can after filling and closing the latter. In the drawings same reference numbers are used to designate same components. - The can of the invention consists of a
body 1 closed by anupper face 2 which usually includes anopening lid 10. Acover 3, made of the same metal or metal alloy as thebody 1 andupper face 2 of the can, is integrally provided with atongue 4, and the end of this tongue opposite to thecover 3 is fixed to thecan - In the embodiment of
FIG. 1 , the end of thetongue 4 is cut and divided into three articulation members, among which the two external articulation members are curved in one direction, and the central articulation member is curved in the opposite direction, so as to allow attaching the top edge of the can by forming a pivot hinge for thecover 3. - It should be noted that the
cover 3 is provided with a peripheral groove 6, that will allow stacking an identical can in order to reduce the overall dimensions during storage and transportation or in automatic vending machines, as well as with agrasping appendix 7 that allows an easy seizure of the can for opening it. - It should also be noted that, when the
upper face 2 is provided with anopening lid 10, the axis of thetongue 4 is not aligned with the axis of this opening lid, but it is angularly shifted, preferably by an angle of about 140 degrees, from the axis. That is in order to prevent thecover 3 from potentially coming up in front of the eyes of the drinker, after the can has been opened and theopening lid 10 has been torn off or pushed in. - The
cover 3 can advantageously be conformed so that it can be clipped over the top edge of the can 1-2, which can be for instance by having radial slots (not shown) cut off from a folded outside edge thereof, thereby forming elastically deformable tabs between the slots. - It is further advantageous that a seal (not shown) be interposed between the
cover 3 and the can, which seal can be formed for instance as a thin elastomer layer coated on the cover at the place where it contacts with the can. Due to its very small volume, such a seal will not be prejudicial to the recycling of the assembly, since it will form a practically negligible impurity. - It can further be provided that the central zone of the
cover 3 be dome-shaped towards theupper face 2 such that it can be deformed in the reverse direction under the gas pressure inside the can, without any loss of this gas, after a can containing a sprinkling beverage and provided with thelid 10 has been opened and thecover 3 has been tilted back. - According to alternative embodiments that are simultaneously represented on
FIG. 2 , either the free end 8 a is curved upwards to allow for its being sticked or welded on the top end of thebody 1 of the can, or thefree end 8 b is curved downwards to allow for its being sticked or welded lower down on thebody 1. - In another, not shown, alternative embodiment of the invention, the
free end 8 a or 8 b is attached to thebody 1 of the can by means of an adhesive or self-adhesive strip, preferably based on the same metal or alloy as thebody 1 and thecover 3 with thetongue 4 thereof. -
FIGS. 3 and 4 refer to embodiments of the invention wherein the cover is attached during the filling and closing process of the can. - In the case of
FIG. 3 , the end of thetongue 4 opposite to thecover 3 is crimped between thetop edge 11 of thebody 1 and the crimpingedge 12 of theupper face 2 of the can. It can then be provided that the free end of thetongue 4 be sticked or welded on theupper face 2 of the can before the crimping operation, so as to be fixedly attached to it. - In the alternative embodiment of
FIG. 4 , the upper face of the can is made integral with thetongue 4 and hence with thecover 3. - Health safety can still be reinforced by enclosing the seal interposed between the cover and the body in a tight ring, such as a sleeve made of a retracted polymer material that can be torn off before drinking, which sleeve further offers the additional advantage of constituting a guarantee that the cover has not been previously opened.
