Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to cans for holding beverages such as beer, coffee, juice, etc.

0002

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, this type of beverage can had a knob on the can lid that was rolled up at one end of the can body. Pull-top cans are widely used, and can be opened by pulling the knob. Beverages placed in such cans can be opened by attaching the lip to the edge of the can lid. It is often drunk directly from the can, but the tactile feel of the rim of the can lid is inferior to that of the rim of a container such as a cup. Therefore, there was a problem that it was not comfortable to drink.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

Therefore, this invention is suitable for drinking drinks directly from the can without transferring to a cup etc. Another object of the present invention is to provide a beverage can that has a good feel at the mouth and is comfortable to drink.

0004

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the beverage can of the present invention is equipped with an openable can lid 1. At the outer periphery of the upper end of the can body 2, there is a plate that does not protrude from the can lid 1 when not in use, and which does not protrude from the can lid 1 when not in use. The structure is characterized in that an auxiliary drinking spout 3 that can protrude a required amount above the can lid 1 is attached. It has the following characteristics.

[0005]

[Effect]

The auxiliary drinking spout 3 can be made to protrude a required amount above the can lid 1 when in use. The user can drink a beverage by touching the upper edge of this auxiliary drinking spout 3 with his or her lips. i.e. There is no need to directly touch the lip of the can lid 1, which does not have a good texture. Also, when not in use, Since the auxiliary spout cylinder 3 can be prevented from protruding from the can lid 1, the auxiliary spout cylinder 1 can be transported easily. It does not get in the way during storage or storage.

【Example】

Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail based on the drawings. This example is a beer pouring machine. It shows a can made of Lumi. First, attach the can lid to the location corresponding to the upper end surface of the can body 2. 1 is integrally fixed by wrapping its peripheral edge to the upper edge of the can body 2. Furthermore, figure In the cross-sectional views of Figures 2 and 4, the can body is 2 and the can lid 1 are intentionally shown as one piece. Open the can lid 1 by pulling it. A knob 4 is attached to do this. In other words, this can is a pull-top can. Ru. The seaming part 5 of the can body 2 and the can lid 1 is slightly flanged, so that the outside of the upper end of the can body 2 A stepped portion 6 formed by this seaming portion 5 is present on the periphery. Next, the auxiliary drinking spout 3 is elastically modified. A shapeable plastic annular body with an inner diameter of the opening at one end that is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the opening at the other end. It has a large conical shape, and the inner surface near one end with the smaller opening inner diameter A protrusion 7 is provided in a circumferential manner.

[0007] The auxiliary drinking spout 3 is in an unused state, that is, it is shipped and placed on a store shelf. When the can is delivered to the consumer and the spout 8 of the can lid 1 is not yet opened, As shown in Figures 3 and 4, place the end on the can body 2 with the end with the larger opening inner diameter facing down. It is fitted onto the outer periphery of the end, and the protrusion 7 on the inner surface is engaged with the stepped part 6 of the seaming part 5 to prevent it from coming off. It is being used. Note that the lower edge of the auxiliary drinking spout 3 engages with the step on the outer surface of the can body 2. Therefore, the auxiliary drinking spout 3 is also prevented from falling. At this time, the upper edge of the auxiliary drinking spout 3 The dimensions of the auxiliary drinking spout 3 are set so that the portion does not protrude above the upper edge of the can lid 1. There is.

[0008] Next, check the usage state of the auxiliary drinking spout 3, that is, pull the knob 4 on the can lid 1 to When drinking a beverage with the mouth 8 open, the auxiliary drinking spout 3 in the above state is elastically deformed. By doing so, the protrusion 7 is allowed to climb over the stepped portion 6, and the can is removed from the can body, and then repaired. By turning the auxiliary drinking spout cylinder 3 upside down and elastically deforming it again, the tightening part 5 is formed on the protrusion 7. the auxiliary drinking spout 3, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. It is installed so that the edge of the end with the larger inner diameter of the opening protrudes above the edge of the can lid 1 by the required amount. Attach. In this case as well, the lower edge of the auxiliary drinking spout 3 should engage the outer step of the can body 2. This prevents it from falling. Then touch the upper edge of the auxiliary drinking spout 3 to drink the beverage. so that

[0009]

[Effect of the idea]

The present invention is as described above, and by attaching the auxiliary drinking spout 3, the tactile sensation is reduced. Instead of putting your lips on the edge of the can lid 1, you can drink by putting your lips on the edge of the auxiliary drinking spout 3. This has the effect of improving the tactile sensation and making it more pleasant to drink.
