Definitions

  • a can having a can end wall, the can end wall including an opening panel portion which is delimited by a score line so as to define a discharge opening upon being depressed downwards, an opening tab, a reclosing tab and a rivet, wherein the reclosing tab has a substantially cylindrical configuration, being closed at an upper, in use, end thereof and open, or only closed by a temporary cover, at a lower, in use, end thereof, the can end wall having a cylindrical wall part projecting therefrom around the discharge opening and with which the reclosing tab may co-operatively engage in use to thereby close the discharge opening.
  • the opening tab and reclosing tab are oppositely arranged to each other and integrally connected with each other to define a tab section.
  • a tab section 200 and a rivet 300 are provided on the can end wall 100.
  • Three tab supporting projections 110, 120 and 120' are projectedly formed on an upper surface of the can end wall 100.
  • a rivet fitting hole 140 through which the rivet 300 is fitted, is defined in the can end wall 100.
  • an opening panel portion 150 is delimited by a score line on the can end wall 100. When the opening panel portion 150 is depressed downward, a discharge opening is defined and contents can be discharged out of the can.
  • the three tab supporting projections 110, 120 and 120' and the opening panel portion 150 are opposed to each other while being centered on the rivet fitting hole 140.
  • the three tab supporting projections 110, 120 and 120' are formed by pressing the can end wall 100 in a manner such that the tab supporting projections 110, 120 and 120' frusto-conically project from the upper surface of the can end wall 100.
  • One tab supporting projection 110 of the three tab supporting projections 110, 120 and 120' is formed higher than other two tab supporting projections 120 and 120', in a manner such that the one tab supporting projection 110 can support a reclosing tab 220 as will be described later, which constitute the tab section 200.
  • the opening panel portion 150 has substantially a circular plate-shaped configuration.
  • the tab section 200 comprises an opening tab 210 and the reclosing tab 220 which are oppositely arranged to each other and integrally connected with each other. While the opening tab 210 has the same structure as the conventional opening tab, the reclosing tab 220 has substantially a cylindrical configuration which is closed at an upper end thereof and opened at a lower end thereof. A cylindrical side wall of the reclosing tab 220 has a curved side wall portion 222 and a cut-out portion. The cut-out portion is formed in a rotating direction of the reclosing tab 220, and a remaining portion of the cylindrical side wall of the reclosing tab 220 defines the curved side wall portion 222 (see FIG. 6). As best shown in FIG.
  • the discharge opening of the can by grasping the rotation knob 221 of the reclosing tab 220 and rotating the tab section 200 by 180°, as the reclosing tab 220 is placed on the upper end of the cylindrical wall part 151 of the can end wall 100, the discharge opening can be effectively reclosed.
  • the three tab supporting projections 110, 120 and 120' and the rivet 300 cooperatively function as the leverage which holds the opening tab 210 in the raised location, and thereby, the reclosing tab 220 can be brought into close contact with the upper end of the cylindrical wall part 151.
  • an opened lower end of the reclosing tab 220 of the tab section 200 is closed by a vinyl sheet or an aluminum foil (not shown) in the course of manufacturing the reclosing tab 220, whereby the reclosing tab 220 can be used in a state wherein sanitization is ensured.
  • the vinyl sheet or the aluminum foil which is attached to the opened lower end of the reclosing tab 220 can be detached therefrom by the hand.
  • the can having the can end wall provided with the reclosing tab according to the present invention affords advantages in that, since the reclosing tab has a simple structure, the can is able to be manufactured in an easy manner and thereby economy is improved. Also, the can is manufactured in such a way as not to significantly change an existing manufacturing process. in particular, because the possibility of a fingernail of the user to be broken or damaged upon pulling upward a handle end of a tab section is eliminated and a discharge opening can be easily opened and reclosed, user convenience is ensured.
  • a configuration of the can end wall according to the present invention is not altered, and thereby, the effective use of shelf, storage and shipping space, that is, stackability and shippability of the can are not adversely influenced. Furthermore, the can end wall according to the present invention exhibits excellent sealing capability upon reclosing the discharge opening.
  • the reclosing tab does not raise a consumer sanitary question.
