Definitions

• the present invention relates to a canister for drinks comprising a protective cover.
• the subject of the invention is a canister for drinks comprising a protective cover that can be engaged on the upper edge of the can, said protective cover being connected to the can by a tab in one piece with the cover, characterized in that the cover and the tongue are in one piece in the same metal or metal alloy as the box, the end of the tab opposite the cover being fixed on the box.
• Fixing the tongue on the box can, according to the fastening mode, be made after filling and closing this box made without any modification to the techniques and facilities used to do this.
• the end of the tongue is provided with slots forming between them hinge members cooperating with the upper edge of the box.
• the end of the tongue is glued to the box.
• the end of the tongue is welded to the box.
• the end of the tongue is fixed to the box by means of an adhesive or self-adhesive strip, preferably based on the same metal or metal alloy as the box and the lid with the tab.
• an adhesive or self-adhesive strip preferably based on the same metal or metal alloy as the box and the lid with the tab.
• FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic exploded perspective view of a box, for a first embodiment of the invention
• FIG. 2 is similar to FIG. 1, for a variant of the invention
• FIG. 3 is similar to FIG. 1 for another variant of the invention
• FIG. 4 is similar to FIG. for another variant.
• the embodiments of Figures 1 and 2 relate to embodiments of the invention allowing attachment of the tongue on the box after filling and closing.
• the same references indicate the same components.
• the box according to the invention consists of a body 1 closed by an upper face 2 which usually comprises an opening cap 10.
• a lid 3, in the same metal or metal alloy as the body 1 and the upper face 2 of the box is in one piece with a tongue 4 whose end opposite the lid 3 is fixed to the box 1, 2.
• the end of the tongue 4 is cut into three hinge members 5, the outer hinge members being bent in one direction and the central hinge member in the opposite direction of in order to allow attachment to the upper edge of the box by forming a pivoting hinge of the cover 3.
• the cover 3 has a peripheral groove 6 for stacking an identical box to reduce the bulk in the storage and transport or in vending machines, as well as a catch appendix 7 facilitating entry for opening the lid.
• the axis of the tongue 4 is not aligned with the axis of this cap but angularly shifted with respect to it. ci, preferably an angle of about 140 degrees, so that the lid 3 does not come before the eyes of the drinker after opening and tearing or squeezing the lid 10.
• the lid 3 can advantageously be shaped to come clipping on the upper edge of the box 1-2, for example by means of radial slots (not shown) on its folded outer edge, these slots forming between them elastically deformable tabs.
• a seal (not shown) is interposed between the lid 3 and the box, for example in the form of a thin layer of elastomer deposited on the lid at its location of contact with the box.
• a seal very small, does not impair the recycling of all forming a virtually negligible impurity.
• the central surface of the lid 3 is curved toward the upper face 2 of the box in order to be able, after opening the lid 10 of a box containing a carbonated beverage and folding the lid 3, to deform in direction reverse under the pressure of the gas released, without loss of this gas.
• the free end 8a is bent upwards so that it can be glued or welded to the upper end of the body 1 of the box or the end 8b is bent downwards in order to be able to to be glued or welded lower on the body 1.
• the free end 8a or 8b is fixed on the body 1 of the box by an adhesive or self-adhesive strip, preferably based on the same metal or metal alloy as the body 1 , the upper face 2 and the cover 3 with its tongue 4.
• Figures 3 and 4 relate to embodiments of the invention in which the fixing of the lid takes place during the process of filling - closing the box.
• the end of the tongue 4 opposite the lid 3 is crimped between the upper edge 11 of the body 1 and the crimping edge 12 of the upper face 2 of the box. It can be provided that the free end of the tongue 4 is glued or welded to the upper face 2 of the box to be secured before crimping.
• the upper face 2 of the box is in one piece with the tongue 4 and, therefore, the lid 3.
• the hygiene can be further strengthened by enclosing the seal between the lid and the box in a ring, for example a sleeve of heat-shrinkable plastic material that can be torn off before consumption, which sleeve also offers the additional advantage of constituting a guarantee that the lid has not been opened.
