Definitions

  • the invention relates to beverage can carriers, in particular can carriers for carrying multiple beverage cans.
  • Different can carriers are known, and they are often used to form multipacks, such as six-packs of beverage cans or so-called drink cans.
  • a first known type of beverage can carriers is formed by plastic six-pack rings, which comprises six interconnected flexible plastic rings.
  • a first disadvantage of such plastic six-packs rings may lie in their environmental impact, for instance as animals may become entrapped in the plastic rings when they are not properly disposed.
  • Another disadvantage may lie in that such plastic six-pack rings do not provide much space for printing, such as for marketing or promotional purposes.
  • injection molded plastic multipack can carriers are known, such as for instance is marketed by the company PakTech.
  • a disadvantage may lie in that such carriers comprise relatively large amounts of plastic material, and do still not provide relatively large surfaces for branding or the like.
  • shrink wrapped packs of cans can provide relatively much space for printing, a disadvantage may lie in that they are made of plastic, which may have a relatively large environmental impact and/or a relatively bad image.
  • cardboard beverage can carriers or so-called multipack cartons are known.
  • paperboard basket type can carriers are known. Applying such basket type carriers for packing multiple beverage cans may be relatively costly, for instance as they may be relatively complex to manufacture and/or relatively difficult to fill with beverage cans. Further, such basket type carriers may include relatively much cardboard material, which may not be beneficial to their environmental impact.
  • Another type of known can carriers is formed by paperboard overwraps. Although they may provide for relatively much surface space for branding or other printing, they may also use relatively much cardboard material. Besides, the paperboard overwraps may be relatively difficult to manufacture and/or to assemble around a multiplicity of cans.
  • a known paper-based top-gripping beverage can carrier has a main panel with substantially round can receiving apertures with a so-called crown style attachment mechanism including a series of locking tabs arranged around the periphery of the receiving aperture and radially extending towards the center of the receiving aperture.
  • a so-called sunburst type of can receiving opening When a can is inserted into such a so-called sunburst type of can receiving opening, the locking tabs are deflected upwards and engage an underside of the lid or the so-called end of the can.
  • a disadvantage may he in that such a sunburst type of can receiving opening may not always retain the cans securely, as a result of which beverage cans may accidently fall out of the carrier.
  • a beverage can may unintentionally rotate about its central axis, which for example may result in that a certain portion of said can, for example comprising branding, may then no longer be visible, to for example a potential consumer, and/or which for example may result in that a certain portion of the can, for example a portion provided with a bar code, which for instance may relate to the price of a single can instead of the price of an entire multipack, may be accidently displayed, whereas it initially might have been intentionally hidden from view by another one of the cans held by the carrier.
  • the can carrier may be adhered to the cans, for instance by means of hot melt. It is also possible to glue the bodies of multiple cans onto each other by means of hot melt or other adhesives. However, using such hot melt or other adhesives may be undesirable from an environmental point of view. Additionally or alternatively, a disadvantage of using an adhesive may lie in that, after releasing a beverage can, the hot melt or other adhesive may stay behind on the beverage can, for instance at or near an area of the can lid at which a drinking opening or pouring opening is to be formed, which may be disadvantageous, for example in view of hygiene and/or taste perception. Additionally or alternatively, using an adhesive may make assembling a carrier and/or assembling a multipack comprising a carrier and multiple cans for example relatively complicated, relatively time consuming and/or relatively error prone.
  • the invention may aim to provide a beverage can carrier, wherein at least one of the disadvantages mentioned above is counteracted.
  • the invention aims at providing an alternative paper-based top-gripping beverage can carrier, especially an alternative paper-based top-gripping beverage can carrier which may facilitate that cans can be retained therein relatively well.

  • the cover panel may facilitate that the carrier can facilitate a relatively hygienical use of the carrier and/or the one or more cans to be carried by said carrier.

  • the carrier By further providing the carrier with the first connector panel, which is hingedly connected to the first cover panel by means of a third cover fold line, and wherein the first connector panel is arranged to snap below the first lid of the first can in order to hold the first cover panel in place in its covering position, it can be facilitated that the cover panel can be installed and/or secured in its covering position, in which said cover panel can cover at least a part of at least one lid of the one or more cans to be held by the carrier, in a relatively simple and/or relatively swift and/or relatively foolproof manner.
  • the carrier may also be free of other connectors to install and/or hold the cover panel in its covering position, and the carrier may thus for example be free of insertion tabs and corresponding insertions slits to connect the connector panel to the main panel of the carrier.
  • Using no glue or any other adhesive may for example facilitate that the carrier and/or the multipack can be assembled in a relatively simple and/or relatively swift and/or relatively foolproof manner.
  • using no adhesive to install the cover panel in place may be relatively environmentally friendly and/or counteract that portions of the can, for instance at the location of the pouring opening to be formed, may become contaminated with adhesive.
  • the can may be clamped relatively well by the carrier, as a result of which the can may be retained in said carrier relatively well.
  • the cover panel which can cover the lid at least partly during use of the carrier, can counteract relatively well that the can held in the can receiving aperture may tilt with respect to the central axis of said can. This may for example counteract that a can held by the carrier may unintentionally become detached, and can thus facilitate that the can may be retained in the carrier relatively well.
  • a result of that the cover panel can counteract that the cans could tilt relatively simple may for example lie in that it can also be counteracted that, when a multipack including said carrier and multiple beverage can is held on its side or upside down, the cans, which initially may be abutting and may extend with their central axes parallelly such as to form a relatively compact bundle, may flower out at their free ends.
