Definitions

  • one small and strong metal tubular lever is doing the following main important activities. It is opening and closing the can and it is also making it possible to drink from the tubular lever, which is very helpful and efficient.
  • the problems were how to open the cans, how to close them and how to drink the beverages in the most convenient way, that is also very hygienic.
  • the strong metallic tubular lever performs several important activities.
  • the lever is suitable for opening and closing the can and for drinking thus eliminating the necessity in a straw or the necessity to drink directly from the can.
  • the systems that are added are also safe especially for very young children, because all the parts are large, and there is no risk, that they will be swallowed by the children.
  • Figs. 1-10 are various perspective and sectional views of the invention referring to a can.
  • FIGs. 11-25 illustrate another aspect of my invention referring to an utensil.
  • Figs. 26-32 refer to additional embodiments of my invention referring to a can.
  • a lever L having its opposite extremities 16,17.
  • the lever is formed as a tubular member made of strong metallic material.
  • the lever is situated on the top of the upper cover of a can .
  • the lever is mounted with possibility for pivoting about two axles 14a, 14b secured on corresponding legs 19a, 19b of a stand secured on the upper cover of a can.
  • the lever can be pivoted up and down according to our desire.
  • the extremity 16 of the lever is lifted up the lever can be used for opening the top upper cover part of the can.
  • the opposite extremity 17 is moving down, protrudes into the cover and creates in it an opening 20 as shown in Fig.2.
  • the extremity 17 is moving down into the can and approaches the beverage, the opposite extremity is moving up and can be used for drinking the beverages therethrough. Since the length of the lever might be insufficient to approach the level of the beverage the extremity 17 is provided with a flexible tubular extension 38, connected to the lever by a connecting passage 37.
  • the extension is made of metal or plastic.
  • the extension can be situated under the lever being folded as shown in figs.1 ,3,4.
  • Fig. 5 is also seen a cross-sectional configuration of the extension and in Fig.6 is shown that the extension can be also provided with plurality of longitudinal reinforcing ribs R.
  • a plastic cover 18 usually covers the lever so that is remains clean while drinking the beverages.
  • a flexible seal 13 associated with the lever.
  • the seal is made of flat plastic or rubber that will close the can it has been opened.
  • the extremity 16 of the lever up the extremity 17 goes down and opens the can.
  • the seal enters via the opening 20 into the can.
  • the extremity 16 of the lever will go down and as a result of it, the extremity 17 of the lever moves up.
  • the lever can be secured in this position for example by a strong metallic clamp 12 that is attached to the top of the can as shown in Fig.1. In this position the seal is pressed tightly to margins of the opening and thus prevents spill the beverages out of the can.
  • a flexible cover C made of plastic or rubber can be used.
  • the cover is connected to the upper part of the can by a strong flexible string 14.
  • the string is long enough to enable putting the open extremity 16a of the cover on the extremity 16 of the lever. Since the opposite extremity 16b of the cover is closed it can be readily appreciated that once the cover is put on the lever it can be kept in good hygienic condition We can also put similar flexible plastic or rubber cover on the extremity 17 of the lever, however its dimension should accommodate the extension 38 and seal 13.
  • Fig. 4 and Fig. 9 it is seen that the can is opened after the lever has been pivoted and its extremity 17 pushed down so as to reside within the can's interior. During pushing the extremity 17 down the can is being ruptured and an opening or perforation 20 is created while the torn portion 49 of the can is bent inwardly as shown in Fig.4 and Fig.9.
  • the metal or plastic extension 38 is flexible and extensible to enable location thereof within the can for most convenient consuming the beverage irrespective whether the can is full or almost empty. It is also possible to form the extension with several folds 73 as seen in Fig. 7 and Fig.8. This embodiment is depicted in
  • Fig.8 and it comprises folded extension made of aluminum tube.
  • This extension can be unfold and fall down once the lever is pivoted and the extremity 17 thereof is pushed down. In this situation the extension falls down until it approaches the bottom of the can and thus it is easy and convenient to consume the can's content.
  • the embodiment shown in Fig.7 comprises also sharp metal teeth 99 affixed to the lever to facilitate piercing of the can. It is not shown specifically but should be realized that the configuration of the lever can be different. For example it can be oval, so that it will occupy not too much space.
  • the features referring to the sealing of the can were mentioned before and there is added here another feature to improve this function.
  • the seal 13 is shown as mentioned before in Figs, 1, 2,3, 4 and 5.
  • the flexible seal 13 is made of plastic material or rubber and is slightly wider than the opening 20 which is being pierced in the can when the lever is pushed down. For the flexible seal 13 is wider than the opening it will not be able to return back outside the can.
  • FIG. 10 another embodiment of the sealing system is shown.
  • This embodiment comprises a thin metallic plate P.
  • the plate resides on the lever and is releasable affixed to the seal 13 by virtue of a tightening screw 91.
  • the plate can be displaced with respect to the seal so as to be directed either along the seal or across the seal.
  • its extremities are designated at 90a, 90b.
  • the plate can be displaced across the seal and in this position its extremities are designated at 95a, 95b.
  • the screw is loosed and the metal plate is indexed into a new position in which its extremities moved to a new place.
  • the above described construction can be used not only in combination with metallic cans but is also suitable for opening or closing other receptacles made of other materials, e.g. plastics.
  • FIG. 1 1 an utensil comprising a spoon 101 and a knife 103.
  • the spoon is formed with notches 102 to enable its use as a fork.
  • the knife 103 is connected with the spoon 101 along a transverse axis 104 preferably made of plastic material.
  • the connection can be made by using hot welding, or a press, or other known means suitable for the production of spoons, forks and knifes.
  • tongs 105a, 105b which are made of plastic material and can be bent in a position correspondingly designated at 106a, 106b. It is possible to bend those two plates of plastic (or plastic with metal) and thus to hold together the spoon 101 and the knife 103.
  • the plastic part 107 is more narrow that the plastic handle 108 of the spoon 101 and fork 102 because the plastic 107 should be able to be between the two plates of plastic (or plastic metal) 105a and 105b while the other plate of the handle 108 is wide, like the handle of the knife.
  • Fig. 13 are shown enlarged details that are in Fig. 1 1 and Figs. 14, 15 and especially in Fig. 12.
  • the small plastic (or plastic with metal) plate 105a moves down to 106a
  • the plate 105b moves down to 106b, if there is a need to move the plates 105a and 105b on the spoon 101 and fork 102 handle 107 and 108.
  • the position of the spoon 101 and fork 102 handle 107 and 108 in Fig. 12 and the same situation is with the plastic (or plastic with metal) plates 105a in Fig.l 1 and 105b in Fig. 12, like 105a and 105b in Fig. 1 1, Figs 14, 15. Also, the handle of the knife 109 is the same in Figs 1 1-13. In Fig.13 the movement of the handle 107, 108 of the spoon 101 and fork 102 is shown in the circle 155. The axis is 104 on which the spoon 101 and fork 102 and the holder 107 and 108 of it are moving.
  • the spoon is inside the container 1 15, for a food 199 and the knife with the tissues are outside the container, but it is also possible that the spoon with the knife and the tissues will be outside the container in a plastic bag.
  • the spoon 101 is inside the food 1 19 that is inside the container 1 15.
  • the handle 107 and 108 of the spoon Fig. 1 1 and Fig. 12 there is a rectangular rod 108a that is hollow in the inside, with square walls and is connected to the spoon 101.
  • This short rectangular rod is connected to a handle of the knife 109a and the knife 103 with very slim plastic, or linen strips 1 16 that are going from the rectangular inside of the container, to the handle of the knife 109a that holds the knife and that are outside the container.
  • the handle 109a of the knife 103 is inside the rectangular rod and it is holding very strong the rectangular that is connected with the spoon 101 and so it is very easy to eat the food from the container, while it is also very simple to take out the handle 109a with the knife 103 from the rectangular 108a that is together with the spoon 101 inside the food 119. While the handle 109a with the knife 103 are taken out from the container, it is possible to put it back into the plastic small bag 122 that keeps everything very hygenic with also clean tissue paper 121 where the knife 103 with the handle 109a were stored before they were put into the rectangular 108a inside the container. It is also possible that the pins 1 17a, 1 17b will be made from flexible material so that the pins will enter and go out in an easy way into and from the holes 117a, 117b.
  • Fig. 17 shows how will be the situation of the spoon 101 and the knife 103 after the handle 109a of the knife together with the knife 103 will come inside the rectangular 108a so that the knife and the handle will be together with the spoon 101.
  • the handle 108a of the spoon 101 there are two holes 117b and 1 17a and in the handle 109a of the knife 103, there are two pins 117a and 1 17b that will enter the holes
  • Fig. 19 it is shown that the handle of the knife 109a entered the handle of the spoon 108a while the pin 117a enters the hole 117a and the pin 117b enters the hold 117b.
  • the slim plastic or linen strip 116 that is connecting the handle 109a of the knife 103 with the handle 108a of the spoon 101 is shown also in Fig. 20 while in Fig. 18 one end of the plastic or linen strip is far from the other end and in Fig. 19 the two ends of the plastic/linen strip are close to each other.
  • Fig. 20 shows the enlarged situation of the plastic or linen strip 116 that is connecting between the handle 109a of the knife 103 and the handle 108a of the spoon 101.
  • Fig. 21 is a very enlarged drawing of a new system. Fig. 21 is similar to Fig. 13.
  • Fig. 13 is useful as it is shown how it is used in Fig. 15, but Fig. 13 is now useful for the system that is shown in Fig. 16 while the construction of Fig. 21 can be used for both, for the system that is shown in Fig. 15 and also for the system shown in Fig. 16.
  • Fig. 21 there are slim plastic or linen strips, connecting the handles 108 and 109 of the spoon 101 and knife 103 instead of the lever 104 that is in the system that is shown in Fig. 13.
  • Fig. 13 is useful as it is shown how it is used in Fig. 15, but Fig. 13 is now useful for the system that is shown in Fig. 16 while the construction of Fig. 21 can be used for both, for the system that is shown in Fig. 15 and also for the system shown in Fig. 16.
  • there are slim plastic or linen strips connecting the handles 108 and 109 of the spoon 101 and knife 103 instead of the lever 104 that is in the system that is shown in Fig. 13.
  • plastic (or plastic with metal) plates 105c, 105d, 105e and 105f there are more plastic (or plastic with metal) plates 105c, 105d, 105e and 105f and it is possible to add even more plastic (or plastic with metal) plates, so that the spoon 101 and the knife 103 will be held together very strong, in the following ways, that are similar to the system of plastic (or plastic with metal) plates.
  • the plastic (or plastic with metal) plates 105a and 105b that are built on the handle of the knife 109 and the plates 105a and 105b are moved down to the position 106a and 106b as it is needed to move the handle of the spoon 107, 108 so that the plates 105a and 105b will hold the handle of the spoon 107, 108 in the position 106a, 106b of the plates.
  • Fig. 21 the plastic (or plastic with metal) plates are in different places than in Fig. 13 and there is no lever in the system that is shown in Fig. 1 1. If there are pins or buttons in the plates, they will be able to hold stronger the system, as also additional very small plates with pins or buttons 160 will be added.
  • the system that is shown in Fig. 21 can be used in the systems described in the drawing that are in Fig. 15 and also in Fig. 16.
  • Fig. 22 it is possible to see the knife 103 in which there are four pins 165 in the handle 109a of the knife and four holes 166 in the handle 108a of the spoon.
  • the four pins 165 that are in the knife 103 can enter into the four holes 166 that are in the spoon 101 and as a result of it, the knife and the spoon are very close together.
  • the knife 103 with the spoon 101 and their holders are very slim and very small so they are able to enter many small places like in Fig. 15 between the silver paper seat 151 and the upper closure 152.
  • the knife 103 and the spoon 101 can be put also into very small plastic bags, that can be handed on the walls outside the containers.
  • Fig. 23 it is shown that the knife 103 and the spoon 101 are in a different position than they were in Fig. 12, but again the four pins that are in the handle 109a of the knife 103 were used to put them into the four holes that are in the handle 108a of the spoon

Abstract

es récipients pour boissons, par exemple des boîtes de boissons non alcoolisées, sont dotés d'un levier tubulaire disposé sur la partie supérieure de la boîte. Le levier est monté de manière à pouvoir pivoter et une fois pivoté de manière à percer par son extrémité la partie supérieure de la boîte et la perforer. L'extrémité de perçage est reliée à une extension flexible dépassant à l'intérieur de la boîte et par laquelle le contenu du récipient peut être consommé. Dans un des modes de réalisation, l'extension se présente sous la forme d'un élément tubulaire plié en matière plastique. Une fois que la boîte est perforée, l'extension peut se déplier et descendre à l'intérieur de la boîte afin de s'approcher de la boisson et de permettre sa consommation.
