Abstract

The present invention relates to a sticker for a sanitary can, which allows the can for containing a beverage to be sanitarily used. The present invention provides a sticker (4) for sealing a one-touch can operner (2) for opening a can (1) with a beverage contained therein and an aperture (3) through which the contents of the can will flow out. The sticker (4) is formed by bonding a soft aluminium sheet (4A) and a tough film (4E) made of synthetic resin in such a manner that upon drinking of the contents of the can, a portion (4B) to which a peelable adhesive is applied to be peeled off by means of tab portions (4C) of the sticker is peeled off, and then, the peeled sticker is folded back about a portion (4D) to which a strong adhesive for making it very difficult to peel off the sticker is applied to cover a portion of the can with which a user's mouth will come in contact.

Description

THE STICKER FOR SANITARY CAN
Technical Field The present invention relates to a sticker for a sanitary can, which allows the can with a beverage contained therein to be sanitarily used.
Background Art
The present invention relates to a sticker 4 for a sanitary can, and more particularly, to a sticker for a sanitary can wherein a one-touch can opener 2 for opening the can and an aperture 3 through which the contents of the can flow out are sealed with the sticker 4 to prevent contamination of the opener and the aperture, and upon drinking of the contents of the can, the sticker is partially peeled off and positioned at a portion of the can with which a user's lip comes into contact and then the can is opened by the opener, so that the user can sanitarily drink the contents of the can.
Generally, the can is constructed such that the user drinks the contents by opening the can using the one-touch can opener, as shown in FIG. 1. However, outer surfaces of the can are exposed to external environments and thus may be contaminated. When the can is opened using the one-touch opener, a contaminated portion of the can adjacent to the opener is introduced into the can and thus contaminates the contents of the can. In addition, when the user drinks the contents of the can, the user's mouth comes into contact with the contaminated portions of the outer surfaces of the can. Consequently, these are very unsanitary.
Disclosure of Invention
An object of the present invention is to provide a sticker for a sanitary can wherein a portion 3 to be introduced into the can 1 when opening the can using a one-touch can opener is sealed with the sticker to prevent contamination of the portion, and the sticker is partially peeled off and then folded back to be positioned on a portion with which a user's mouth will be in contact when the user drinks the contents of the can, thereby preventing contamination of the user's mouth.
According to the present invention, there is provided a sticker for a sanitary can for containing a beverage as its contents, which is equipped with a one-touch can opener 2 for opening the can 1, comprising a sticker 4 for sealing the one-touch can opener 2 for opening the can 1 and an aperture 3 through which the contents of the can flows out upon opening of the can to prevent contamination of the one-touch can opener and the aperture. The sticker 4 is constructed such that when a user opens the can, the user pulls up tab portions 4C of the sticker 4 attached to the can and folds back the peeled sticker about a portion 4D of the sticker which is intended not to be peeled off, so that a soft aluminum sheet 4A placed on an inner surface of the sticker is positioned above an edge of the can to sanitarily cover a portions with which the user's mouth comes into contact upon drinking of the contents of the can. The sticker 4 is formed by bonding the soft aluminum sheet 4A and a tough film 4E made of synthetic resin. The sticker 4 includes a portion 4B to which a peelable adhesive is applied, the portion 4D to which a strong adhesive for making it very difficult to peel off the sticker is applied, a portion to which the aluminum sheet 4A is attached and any adhesives are not applied, and the tab portions 4C used for peeling off the sticker.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show a can having a sticker 4 attached thereto for ensuring sanitary use of the can according to the present invention. These figures show a state where the sticker 4 for ensuring the sanitary use of the can seals a one-touch can opener 2 and an aperture 3 through which the contents of the can flow out when the can is opened.
FIGS. 4 and 5 show the can in a state where the sticker according to the present invention is peed off and then folded back to cover a portion of the can with which a user's mouth will come into contact. A thin aluminum sheet of the sticker, which covered and was in contact with the one-touch can opener 2 and the aperture 3 through which the contents of the can will flow out, is moved to and then placed at a position above a portion of the can with which the user's mouth will come in contact. Since the aluminum sheet is made of a soft sheet of aluminum, it can be freely changed in its shape. In addition, since an adhesive is not applied to the aluminum sheet by nature, there is no problem about the contact of the aluminum sheet with the user's mouth.
FIG. 6 is a plan view of the can with the sticker according to the present invention attached thereto, illustrating portions of the can covered by the sticker in dotted lines. This figure shows the state where the sticker for ensuring the sanitary use of the can is formed on the one-touch can opener 2 and the aperture through which the contents of the can will flow out. The sticker 4 for ensuring the sanitary use of the can is constructed such that when the user catches and pulls up a selected convenient one of tab portions 4C of the sticker used for peeling off the sticker, the sticker is peeled off as far as a portion 4D to which a strong adhesive for making it very difficult to peel off the sticker is applied. Then, the peeled sticker is deformed as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
FIGS. 7 (A) and (B) are a plan view and a side view showing the sticker for ensuring the sanitary use of the can according to the present invention, respectively. The sticker 4 is generally formed by bonding the soft aluminum sheet 4A and a tough film 4E made of synthetic resin. Specifically, the sticker 4 includes a portion 4B to which a peelable adhesive is applied, the portion 4D to which a strong adhesive for making it very difficult to peel off the sticker is applied, a portion to which the aluminum sheet 4A is attached and any adhesives are not applied, and the tab portions 4C used for peeling off the sticker. The aluminum sheet 4A is made in the form of a soft sheet of aluminum to be freely changed in its shape.
Industrial Applicability
As described above, according to the present invention, a can for containing a beverage as its contents, which is equipped with a one-touch can opener, is protected against contamination. The can is sanitarily utilized upon drinking of the contents of the can. Thus, the present invention greatly contributes to health of the people.
