- There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
- The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
- The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a beverage can shield assembly according to an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 2 is a bottom view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the disclosure showing a protective sheet covering a shield. -

FIG. 7 is a top in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure showing a protective sheet being pulled away from a shield. -
FIG. 8 is a perspective in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure. - With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
FIGS. 1 through 8 thereof, a new beverage can device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described. - As best illustrated in
FIGS. 1 through 8 , the beverage canshield assembly 10 generally comprises a beverage can 12 that has adrinking flap 14 and atab 16 that is movably integrated into the beverage can 12 for opening thedrinking flap 14. The beverage can 12 has atop wall 18 and anouter wall 20, and thedrinking flap 14 extends through thetop wall 18 at a point that is located adjacent to theouter wall 20. Moreover, thetab 16 is positioned on thetop wall 18 at a point that is located between thedrinking flap 14 and a center point of thetop wall 18. The beverage can 12 may comprise an aluminum beverage can 12 that is commonly associated with carbonated beverages, such as soda pop and beer. Thetab 16 urges the drinking flap 14 downwardly through thetop wall 18 to define a drinking opening 22 through which the beverage can 12 pass. - A
shield 24 is bonded to the beverage can 12 and theshield 24 surrounds thedrinking flap 14 to pass a beverage in the beverage can 12 through theshield 24. In this way the beverage may be consumed by aconsumer 26. Theshield 24 is comprised of a sterilized material to inhibit contact transmission of bacteria or viruses between theconsumer 26 and the beverage can 12 when theconsumer 26 drinks from the beverage can 12. - The
shield 24 has afirst surface 28 and asecond surface 30, and theshield 24 has anaperture 32 extending through thefirst surface 28 and thesecond surface 30. Thefirst surface 28 is bonded to thetop wall 18 of the beverage can 12 having theaperture 32 surrounding thedrinking flap 14 and thetab 16. In this way theshield 24 inhibits a consumer'stop lip 34 from contacting thetop wall 18 of the beverage can 12 when theconsumer 26 drinks from the beverage can 12. Additionally, theshield 24 extends downwardly along theouter wall 20 of the beverage can 12 having thefirst surface 28 being bonded to theouter wall 20. In this way theshield 24 inhibits the consumer'sbottom lip 36 from contacting theouter wall 20 of the beverage can 12 when theconsumer 26 drinks from the beverage can 12. - A
protective sheet 38 is provided and theprotective sheet 38 is removably bonded to theshield 24 for preserving sterility of theshield 24. Theprotective sheet 38 covers thedrinking flap 14 when theprotective sheet 38 is covering theshield 24. Additionally, theprotective sheet 38 is peelable from theshield 24 to expose thedrinking flap 14 thereby facilitating theconsumer 26 to drink the beverage in the beverage can 12. Theprotective sheet 38 has aprimary surface 40, asecondary surface 42 and aperimeter edge 44 extending between theprimary surface 40 and thesecondary surface 42, and theperimeter edge 44 has afront side 46 and aback side 48. Theback side 48 is coupled to thesecond surface 30 of theshield 24 at location that is aligned with a rear edge 49 of theshield 24. - The
protective sheet 38 has acut 50 extending through theprimary surface 40 and thesecondary surface 42. Thecut 50 is elongated to extend substantially between thefront side 46 and theback side 48 of theperimeter edge 44, and thecut 50 is centrally positioned on theshield 24. Theprimary surface 40 of theprotective sheet 38 releasably adheres to thesecond surface 30 of theshield 24. Thecut 50 is closed around thetab 16 when theprotective sheet 38 is releasably adhered to theshield 24. Moreover, thecut 50 is spread around thetab 16 when theprotective sheet 38 is peeled from theshield 24 thereby facilitating theprotective sheet 38 to be peeled over thetab 16. In this way thetab 16 can be manipulated to open thedrinking flap 14 in the beverage can 12. Thefront side 46 of theperimeter edge 44 has alobe 52 extending away therefrom such that thelobe 52 extends beyond afront edge 54 of theshield 24. In this way thelobe 52 can be gripped for peeling theprotective sheet 38 from theshield 24. - In use, the
shield 24 and theprotective sheet 38 are integrated into the beverage can 12 at the point of manufacturing. Theconsumer 26 grips thelobe 52 on theprotective sheet 38 to peel theprotective sheet 38 away from theshield 24. Thelobe 52 is drawn upwardly along theouter wall 20 of the beverage can 12 and rearwardly along thetop wall 18 of the beverage can 12. Thecut 50 spreads open around thetab 16 to expose thedrinking flap 14 and to facilitate thetab 16 to be manipulated to open thedrinking flap 14. Theshield 24 remains in place on the beverage can 12 to inhibit the consumer'stop lip 34 andbottom lip 36 from contacting the beverage can 12. In this way theconsumer 26 is protected from contacting bacteria or viruses that may have collected on the beverage can 12. - With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
- Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
