Definitions

  • This invention concerns a disposable spout for cans containing beverages, particularly carbonated beverages.
  • Cans containing beverages generally have a metal lid that provides a hermetic seal, and that is equipped with a pull-up tab that covers the opening through which the liquid contained in the can is poured.
  • One of the purposes of this invention is to provide a disposable spout for cans containing beverages, particularly carbonated beverages, that makes it possible for the consumer to drink directly from the can in the most convenient way while avoiding direct contact between the can and the mouth, thereby ensuring hygiene.
  • Another purpose is to provide a spout as indicated that can be associated to a can containing a beverage in such a way that it can be stacked with other similar cans and can also be placed on any flat surface.
  • Another purpose is to provide a spout as indicated with a simplified structure, easy to use and convenient, at a low cost.
  • this invention provides a disposable spout for cans containing beverages, particularly carbonated beverages, the essential characteristics of which are the subject of claim no. 1.
  • the spout for cans containing beverages, particularly carbonated beverages, according to the invention, as shown in fig. 1, is marked no. 10.
  • This spout no. 10 consists of a flexible piece of plastic 11, bent in such a way as to present two opposite faces, one concave 11.1 and the other convex 11.2. For hygienic reasons this spout 10 is made of sterile material suitable for use for food products and preferably recyclable.
  • This piece of plastic 11 has a basically rectangular border in the shape of an isosceles trapezium, seen from the front in fig. 1, but the corners rounded in the manner of a fingernail.
  • first stiffening rib 11.3 that runs along the trapezoidal edge and is higher along the side corresponding to the longer base 11.30.
  • a second stiffening rib 11.4 is provided on the concave face 11.1 of the piece of plastic 11, in the mid-point position between the inclined sides 11.40 of its outer border, adjacent to the base line 11.30.
  • This second rib 11.4 presents a thickening 11.5 in the central part.
  • a continuous linear slit 12 is formed, running basically parallel and close to the side of wider base 11.30. This slit 12 runs along the part of the greater height of the first rib 11.3.
  • tracks 11.6 are provided on the surface running downward toward the slit.
  • a sliding surface 11.31 is provided, running downward toward the outside of the spout 10.
  • the shape and size of the spout 10 are suitable for fitting it easily, before use, in the external cavity that is provided in the bottom of a can CA (fig. 6).
  • the spout 10 should preferably be protected in a sterile envelope B that is applied to the cavity with an adhesive strip so as not to hinder stacking of the can CA with other similar cans and standing it on any flat surface.
  • the spout 10 After opening the can by pulling the tab T, the spout 10 is inserted in the opening A on the lid CO, by holding the spout between the fingers of one hand loosely bent into a "U" shape (as seen from above) like a spring strip with its convex face 11.2 toward the lid CO, its longer base 11.30 downward, aligning its slit 12 with the lid CO.
  • a "U" shape like a spring strip with its convex face 11.2 toward the lid CO, its longer base 11.30 downward, aligning its slit 12 with the lid CO.
  • the operation of bending the spout 10 correctly into a "U” shape is facilitated by the arrangement of the stiffening ribs 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5 described above, while the sliding surface tracks 11.6 on its convex face 11.2 facilitate insertion of the spout 10, bent as described, into the opening A on the can.
  • the spout 10 When the spout 10 is released, after inserting it in the opening A, it springs open and automatically fits itself, with its slit 12, to the lid CO, adhering to it permanently in a fixed position suitable to facilitate the outward flow of the beverage in the can CA.
  • the spout 10 is ready for use, facilitating drinking and ensuring hygienic conditions for the consumer.
