Definitions

  • the invention relates to a beverage can, as used in particular for carbonated beverages such as canned beer or soft drinks.
  • beverage cans are the most important beverage trade packaging in Europe. Beverage cans can also serve as a drinking vessel.
  • Beverage cans are basically already known. They consist of a cylindrical container, which is usually made of aluminum or tinplate, and a perennialfalzten cover, which is also made of aluminum.
  • a metal tab is regularly present on the lid, which can be completely or partially removed to produce a pouring or drinking opening.
  • these metal tabs were regularly available as so-called pull tabs, which were completely peeled off to create an oval opening in the can lid.
  • the peeled pull tabs usually had very sharp edges, which could lead to injuries in a careless disposal. Therefore, the pull tabs were gradually replaced by the so-called stay-on-tab tabs.
  • the lid of the box is provided with an oval scribe line and a riveted metal tab.
  • the scratched oval is pressed into the interior of the can, so that a corresponding opening is formed.
  • the metal tab is still attached to the box, so that no separately disposable waste is obtained.
  • the beverage cans in Europe are usually designed for 0.33 liters or 0.5 liters.
  • the diameter of the beverage cans is in both cases regularly 67 millimeters.
  • the 0.33-liter can then has a height of about 115 millimeters, the 0.5-liter can a height of about 168 millimeters.
  • Such beverage cans have a height of about 135 millimeters at 250 milliliter doses, at 473 milliliter doses a height of about 180 millimeters.
  • the beverage cans are usually packed on pallets in the retail trade. In many cases, however, the beverage cans are sold individually, so that at first unpacking of the beverage cans takes place. The beverage cans are then sorted into a store shelf, where appropriate, re-sorted on further granting new beverage cans and finally removed by the customer from the rule.
  • the beverage can is regularly drawn manually by the cashier on the cash register, the beverage can is usually touched at the top edge.
  • this upper edge area is exactly the area that is touched when drinking from the beverage can with the lips. Since the beverage cans are touched by a variety of people before it comes to the actual drinking process, in this area can accumulate a number of impurities that are often not visible to the naked eye. At best, this can only be unappealing, in the worst case contribute to the spread of diseases. For this reason, it would be advisable to first clean the beverage cans before drinking. However, this is rarely done.
  • the present invention seeks to provide an improved beverage can, which has a clean drinking area without requiring an additional cleaning process.
  • the beverage can according to the invention has a cylindrical container and a lid which is fixed to the free edge of the cylindrical container.
  • a tearing element is provided, through which a drinking opening in the lid can be produced.
  • this tear-open element can be a stay-on tab closure.
  • the lid of the beverage can is at least partially covered with a removable film according to the invention.
  • the upper edge region of the cylindrical container is covered at least partially with a removable film.
  • the removable film can be applied immediately after filling and closing the beverage can, so that the lying under the film portion of the beverage can can be kept optimally clean.
  • the filling of the beverage can prevail regularly hygienic conditions, so that the outside of the beverage can is still germ-free. This condition can be maintained by the removable film. If the film is peeled off immediately before drinking, the underlying area is still clean and not dirty. In this way, the beverage can safely be led to the mouth. A cleaning process is not required, so that the beverage can can be drunk immediately after the purchase.
  • the tear-open element can be at least partially covered by the removable film. This may cause a tampering the tearing element are detected immediately, so that unauthorized actions can be prevented at the tearing element.
  • the edge region of the lid of the beverage can be completely covered by the removable film. This facilitates the attachment of the film during the filling and closing process of the beverage cans, since there is a constant rotation of the beverage cans.
  • the cylindrical container of the can may preferably be covered by the peelable film in an upper edge region which is about 30 to 60 millimeters wide.
  • the upper edge region may in particular be about 40 millimeters wide. This area is large enough, even with a wide open mouth, to cover the critical area touched by the lips when drinking from the can.
  • the peelable film may preferably be formed so that the visual appearance of the beverage can after the first detachment of the film changes so that it is immediately recognizable to the user that the film has already been peeled off once. This can be achieved in the case of an adhesive film in that the film no longer adheres to the beverage can after the first detachment.
  • the removable film may be formed as a shrink film.
  • Shrink films are plastic films that contract more or less when the temperature increases. The temperature increase is usually realized via hot air.
  • Shrink films may be formed in particular as heat shrink tubing. In this case, before heating, a product to be coated - for example, the beverage can - introduced into the hose. After heating the shrink tube, the shrink tube is close to the product and shapes this after. The product is thereby electrically insulated against its environment and is protected against mechanical damage.
  • the shrink tubes usually have a diameter of 1 millimeter to 1100 millimeters, so that they are also suitable for coating beverage cans in principle. In addition to shrink tubing and shrink caps are known, which are already more or less closed on one side.
  • At least one perforation line may be present in the film.
  • This perforation line can be easily opened and torn open manually, so that the film can be removed from the beverage can without much effort.
  • the removable film can be made very thin, so that only a small material requirement and thus only a small additional cost.
  • the film may in particular be transparent and colorless, so that the existing under the film imprint on the beverage can still easily visible.
  • the film visually appealing and to print in color it would be possible, for example, completely coat the jacket of the cylindrical container with the film and to print this film in the desired appearance. Then could be dispensed with the printing of the beverage can. It would also be possible to remove the printed film in this case only in the region of the lid of the can, so that a part of the jacket would still be covered by the film. This would still be recognizable, which beverage would be included in the beverage can, yet a pleasant drink from the beverage can would be possible.
  • the beverage can 10 according to the invention Fig. 1 has a cylindrical container 12 and a lid 14, which are fastened to each other via a flanged edge 16.
  • a tear-open element 18 is provided, through which a drinking opening in the lid 14 can be produced.
  • the tear-open element 18 is a so-called stay-on-tab closure, as is currently customary with beverage cans.
  • the upper portion of the beverage can 10 is covered in the present example by a shrink hood 20, which in the Fig. 2 and 4 in its original condition prior to application to the beverage can 10 is shown.
  • the shrink hood 20 has an annular cover part 22 and a lateral surface 24.
  • the diameter of the cover part 22 is slightly larger than the diameter of the cylindrical container 12 of the beverage can 10, so that the shrink hood 20 can be easily slipped over the lid 14 of the beverage can.
  • the shrink hood 20 has two parallel perforation lines 26, 28. With the help of the perforation lines 26, 28, the shrink hood 20 can be easily torn and removed after attachment to the beverage can 10.
  • the shrink hood 20 can cover the upper edge region 30 of the container 12 as well as a part of the lid 14 of the beverage can 10.
  • the beverage can 10 is thus protected in this area from contamination, in particular by germs.
  • the shrink hood 20 is applied immediately after closing the beverage can 10, since there are sterile conditions at this time in the manufacturing process.
  • the shrink hood 20 is located so close to the outside of the beverage can 10 that germs or other impurities can not get under the shrink hood 20 practically. After removing the shrink hood 20 can thus be ensured that the underlying area of the beverage can 10 is clean.
  • the soda can 10 can therefore be guided without hesitation to the mouth and touched with the lips.
  • the beverage can 10 could also by a shrink tube be covered.
  • a heat shrink tubing could also cover part of the edge 30 of the cylindrical container 12 and an outer edge region of the lid 14 of the beverage can 10.
  • an adhesive film that can be removed without residue from the beverage can.
  • the shrink hood 20 consists of a food-safe plastic film that can be removed without residue.
  • the shrink hood 20 may be transparent and colorless, but also designed or printed in color. While a colorless, transparent shrink hood 20 has the advantage that the optical design of the beverage can 10 with their imprints is still clearly visible and is not affected visually, could be done by a color-shaped shrink hood 20 a highly visible mark the beverage can 10, the The consumer already recognizes at first glance that this beverage can 10 is hygienically safe.
  • the shrink hood 20 could thus also serve as a hygiene seal.
  • Shrink films are also referred to in the trade as shrink wraps, shrink films or shrink sleeves and are available under a variety of brand names. As an alternative to shrink films, the use of stretch films would also be possible. Stretch films can be slightly stretched when coating a product, so that they lie close to the product after coating and can no longer slip.
