Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a can attachment for beverage cans which have a lid section with an outwardly curved upper can edge, the can attachment having an overlapping portion of the upper can edge which comes into contact with an upper stop edge and has at least one retaining curvature and a cup-shaped portion on the attachment section molded drinking section includes.
  • Beverage cans have been known for a long time and are used, for example, for the sale of soft drinks and beers. Such beverage cans are often made of thin sheet metal
  • Liquids e.g. engine oils
  • cans have in common that they have a lid section in which a closed opening is provided, which can usually be opened by the user using a pull tab.
  • This lid section is applied to the top of the otherwise largely cylindrical can, the connection between the can wall and the lid section being established by a folded edge which appears after the manufacture as an outwardly curved edge.
  • the special connection process between the lid section and the can wall is not important here.
  • beverage cans are very popular because they are a cheap, light and stable packaging for liquids and, if appropriately recorded, they can be reused. tion process can be supplied, they have a crucial disadvantage.
  • a large number of potential end users do not accept these cans, since drinking from the can is sometimes difficult and, in particular with cans that are still largely full, there is a risk that liquid will spill when emptied and the user can become dirty as a result.
  • These problems when drinking the liquid contained or when emptying the can result from the fact that the lid section is positioned essentially at the upper end of the can, directly above the liquid level, so that no flow and calming area is available for the escaping liquid. If the can is inclined too much, the liquid will also come out irregularly, since only one opening is available from which both the liquid must exit and air must enter to equalize the pressure.
  • beverage cups made of plastic are often added to avoid these disadvantages, which in particular negates the advantage of the small amount of packaging.
  • handling is difficult, since either the cup has to be placed on a level surface or two hands are required to fill the liquid. If the beverage cans are used outdoors, this cumbersome handling is undesirable.
  • No. 5,732,851 describes a drinking accessory for beverage cans which is intended to ensure the simultaneous use of the same for beverage cans with different diameters, three commercial diameters being assumed.
  • a very tight radial fit of the add-on part is necessary.
  • a tight fit of the additional part on the beverage can is also required to hold the can in the additional part despite its weight when filled. It is namely intended to provide the additional part with a handle so that the beverage can on it
  • Such an additional part shows, however, that the wall thicknesses must be chosen to be relatively thick in order to absorb the required contact forces. However, this causes a high one.
  • Stiffness of the drinking accessory a high use of materials and a high weight.
  • the forces required by the user to attach the accessory to the can rim are high and can quickly spill liquid when the can is open.
  • the rigidly constructed additional part cannot compensate for manufacturing tolerances and temperature-related dimensional changes in the edge of the can, so that the connection leaks even with small dimensional tolerances.
  • Clamping lugs provided.
  • these clamping lugs cause at most an insufficient mounting of the attachment, but in no case a liquid-tight connection. Therefore, according to a preferred embodiment, as a means for
  • GB 865 259 also describes an attachment part for beverage cans. It is designed as a type of sleeve that has a radial groove and a radial stop bead on the inside. The upper part of the sleeve widens conically. To attach the attachment, the edge of the can must be snapped into a circumferential groove and a circumferential one Manufacturing tolerances, the disadvantages mentioned above (spillage of liquid, contamination of the can wall and fingers or clothing of the drinker) must also be expected here. So that a reasonably effective seal can be achieved, the attachment must be made of a very elastic material, which deforms when it is placed on the mouth, which in turn can lead to spilling.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a can attachment which can be easily applied to the can, is inexpensive to produce and also provides a tight connection to the can at any time even when dimensional tolerances occur, so that leakage of liquid at the edge of the can is reliably avoided ,
  • a can attachment in which the upper stop edge is conical in that the upper area of the attachment section is increasingly curved inwards and merges into a circular opening, the opening diameter of which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the upper can edge.
  • Such a can attachment has the advantage that it lengthens the beverage can upwards during use.
  • the lid section of the can forms the bottom of this cup-shaped extension, while the can attachment represents the cup side wall.
  • the particular problem is to make the can attachment simple and cheap on the one hand and on the other hand to design it so that even when the drinking process is interrupted, the returning liquid does not escape from the underside of the can attachment and thus from the outside wall of the beverage can, which is too would.
  • the container attachment according to the invention is designed so 'that it reliably prevents leakage of liquid. No tools are required to attach the can attachment, as this is simply attached to the upper edge of the lid section. Due to the special design of the retaining curvature, the can attachment snaps onto the upper edge, the required seal being created by the stop edge.
  • a particular embodiment of the can top is adapted in its dimensions to conventional beverage cans made of tinplate, the top section and the drinking section having essentially circular inner cross sections.
  • the lower region of the attachment section is flared, with several vertically spaced holding arches being arranged in this region.
  • the can top can be used with different beverage cans which differ from one another with regard to the diameter of the upper edge of the can. The can top is pressed onto the respective beverage can until the holding curvature with the appropriate diameter snaps under the upper edge of the can.
  • the drinking section is designed slightly smaller in its outer dimensions than the lower opening of the top section. This makes it possible to stack several can tops on top of one another, a good coordination of the upper and lower ends of the can top ensuring that a stack consisting of many can tops can be set up in a vertical position. Such stacks can also be arranged in suitable delivery devices.
  • the comfort to be achieved while using such a can attachment can be increased if, in a modified embodiment, the drinking section has a shape that widens conically upwards.
  • the inner cross section of the drinking section is essentially identical to the clear cross section in the area of the stop edge. It is also possible to design the entire outer wall of the can attachment as a cylinder with a constant diameter. The latter embodiment is also particularly suitable for the application of advertising material on the outer wall of the can top. This gives the can top a second function by providing it as a separate advertising medium. For example, at an outdoor event, an organizer can print their logo or the brands of the sponsors supporting the event on the can top, which is then distributed as an addition to the corresponding beverage cans. The expected advertising effect is very high, since the user has the advertising message several times in front of his eyes when emptying the beverage can.
  • the upper stop edge of the attachment section is also conical in order to be adapted to different sized can edges. This also compensates for the normal tolerances of beverage cans, so that a tight seal between the stop edge and the can edge is achieved in any case.
  • the entire can top expediently consists of plastic, which enables simple and inexpensive production.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a can attachment according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a partial sectional view of a first embodiment of the can top
  • FIG. 3 shows a partial sectional view of the can attachment according to FIG. 2, which is arranged on a beverage can;
  • Fig. 4 partial sectional views of three embodiments of the can top.
  • FIG. 2 shows a partial sectional view of a first embodiment of the can attachment 1.
  • the attachment section 2 has an upper stop edge 4, through which the clear cross section of the attachment section is narrowed inwards.
  • the upper stop edge 4 is conical, as a result of which the can top can be used with different beverage cans which differ with regard to the diameter of their upper edge.
  • the lower region of the top section 2 is also formed with a slightly conical shape.
  • two holding arches 5 are provided in the lower region of the attachment section, the inner diameter resulting in the area of the holding arch being smaller than in the lower holding arch due to the conical shape of the attachment section 2.
  • the drinking section 3 is cylindrical in this embodiment, the drinking section 3 starting directly at the stop edge 4 and maintaining the cross-sectional area existing there along its entire extent.
  • FIG. 3 shows a sectional view of a section of the embodiment of the can attachment 1 already shown in FIG. 2, the latter being placed on a beverage can 6.
  • a beverage can 6 essentially only an upper can wall section 7 and part of a lid section 8 are shown.
  • An opening 9 is provided in the lid section 8, from which the liquid from the beverage can 7 connected by an outwardly curved, folded can edge 10.
  • the attachment section 2 is slipped over this can rim 10, the retaining arch 5 engaging under the can rim 10 and thus securing the can attachment 1 to the beverage can 6.
  • the distance between the holding curvature 5 and the upper stop edge 4 of the can attachment is selected so that the can edge 10 rests against the upper stop edge 4 when the holding curvature 5 is engaged, so that a largely liquid-tight connection is established between the can attachment and the beverage can.
  • the conical configuration of the stop edge 4 and the arrangement of a plurality of holding arches 5 make it possible to design the can top appropriately for different beverage cans or, depending on the dimensions, at least for a special beverage can, including the tolerances that usually occur.
  • Fig. 4 shows partial sectional views of various embodiments of the can top.
  • the can top is preferably circular in shape with the wall profile remaining the same, in order to be adapted to the usual circular beverage cans.

  • the wall profile shown on the far left explains a third embodiment of a can top 12, in which the outer wall of the drinking section 3 and the top section 2 runs continuously, so that the can top 12 appears on its outside as a uniform cylinder.
  • advertising elements can be attached to the outside of the can top, which can be printed, for example, or stamped into the wall.
  • the can top is expediently made of plastic, and known spraying methods can be used for the production.
