Definitions

  • the invention provides a handle adapted to clip onto the seam of a conventional beverage or food can.
  • the handle makes the can easier and more comfortable to hold as it is designed to fit easily into the hand of a user. With the handle attached the package may be held continuously by a user whilst being consumed, for example over a 20 minute period.
  • the invention provides a can handle adapted to be securely clipped to the seam provided at the top end of a beverage or food can.
  • the can handle is preferably injection moulded from thermoplastic material, for example Polypropylene (PP) or High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
  • PP Polypropylene
  • HDPE High Density Polyethylene
  • the handle increases the time that a chilled metal can stays cool and therefore improves the drinking experience for the user i.e. improves mouth feel and therefore the drinking experience. If the consumer’s hand is prevented from contacting the wall of the can, the inventors have found that it takes over 50% longer for the can to warm up by a set amount, for example from 6 to 12 degrees C.
  • the plastic rim provided by the handle is thicker than a conventional can seam and may be profiled to make the drinking experience for the user more like drinking from a glass.
  • the handle is designed to be reusable and therefore, if used in a multi-pack only one handle is required in each multi-pack. Also, the external surface of the handle provides space for product branding e.g. on the cover plate, making it ideally suited for product promotions and the like.
  • the handle design suits a full range of conventional can sizes i.e. can diameters from 52 to 99 mm with large sizes being particularly applicable as these larger sizes are often heavy and more awkward for a user to grip. Furthermore, can heights from 60 to 250 mm can be accommodated by the handle and this equates to can capacities from 150 to 1500 ml.

  • a handle 50 has a grip 60, a complete (360 degree) attachment ring 70, a cover plate 72, a main clip 75 and a retention clip 80.
  • the position of main clip 80 is aligned with the grip 60 to give the handle 50 strength.
  • the retention clip 80 is positioned opposite (180 degrees from) the grip 60 and this clip is removable using a tab feature 90.
  • the grip 60 is further strengthened by provision with a plurality of internal strengthening ribs 65.
  • the handle 50 is assembled onto the top of a beverage can 1 having a side-wall 5, top 10 and base 20.
  • the top 10 and side-wall 5 of the beverage can 1 is seamed together by a double seam 15 and defines a drinking aperture 12 that is opened using an opening tab 13, which presses against a score (not shown).
  • the beverage can 1 may be opened before or after the handle 50 is fitted.
  • the handle 50 has a complete (360 degree) attachment ring 70, which is placed onto the top 10 of the beverage can and the main clip 75 and retention clip 80 are fitted under the double seam 15. Cut out windows 85 are positioned above the main clip 75 and retention clip 80, to allow moulding in line of draw i.e. without creating re-entrant features (see Figs. 3A and 4A).
  • Fig. 4B is an enlarged side view taken at an angular position where there is no clip.
  • Fig. 5 shows the conventional arrangement of beverage cans in a multi-pack.
  • the grip 60 of the handle 50 locates in the space between cans and no extra space is required in the multi-pack. This provides a mechanism to allow distribution of the handles 50, particularly where each multipack has one reusable handle.
  • Figs 6A and 6B show the handle 50 attached to an open beverage can.
  • the main clip 75 and retention clip 80 are securely fixed under the seam (not shown) of the beverage can and the cover plate 72 extends over a portion of the top of the can.
  • the drinking aperture 12 is available for a user to drink from the can, whilst holding the grip 60 of the handle.
  • the handle has a cover plate 72, which acts a reclosure when the cover plate 72 is rotated to cover the aperture 12 (see Fig. 6B).
  • the cover plate 72 stops access by insects and / or for liquids from being easily poured into the can.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une poignée (50) destinée à être fixée sur un récipient ayant une paroi latérale (5) et une partie supérieure (10) assemblées ensemble par une couture (15), dans lequel la poignée (50) a une partie de préhension (60) conçue pour être tenue par un utilisateur, un anneau de fixation (70) conçu pour s'adapter autour de la partie supérieure (10) du récipient, un clip principal (75) aligné avec la partie de préhension (60) et un clip de retenue (80) positionné à 180 degrés de la partie de préhension (60). La poignée (50) se fixe sur la couture du récipient (15) dans une manière facilement amovible, mais robuste et elle permet à un utilisateur de tenir le récipient de façon continue, que le contenu du récipient soit chaud ou froid.
