Abstract:
A sanitary, flexible cover (10) is wrapped around the top of a flip-top can (12). The cover (10) comprises a round disc (13), a concave rim (14) around the perimeter of the disc, and a flared skirt (15) extending from the concave rim. The cover is formed by molding or pressing. The cover is applied to the can by heat shrinking, gluing, or mechanically tight fitting. The top of the can is protected by the disc (13) and the shoulder of the can is protected by the skirt (15). The concave rim (14) is engaged around a lip (16) of the can to retain the cover, which can be easily removed prior to drinking. In addition, there may be a plurality of these covers (24) connected by links (25).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a protective device for drinks cans. The inventive device consists of a thin, deformable discoid body comprising numerous radial notches along the periphery thereof. Internally, the device comprises a series of curvilinear cuts which are concentric with the edge of the disk, thereby defining peripheral areas which are intended to be positioned below the upper rim at the top of the cylindrical body of the can.
Abstract:
Protective covering for beverage cans with breakable opening in the lid, with a circular top surface (1) and circumferential lateral surface, that consists of conical strip (3) and cylindrical strip (2) between the top surface (1) and conical strip (3). Conical strip (3) has on its internal circumferential wall unilateral wedge (4) whose front surface (5) is parallel to the top surface (1) and whose working surface (6) is convergent to the conical strip (3). The protective covering can be used to protect the lid and upper wall of a can from dirt.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a top (A, B) for mounting on a container, preferably a can, comprising a fixed part (B) mounted on top of the container, said fixed part having means for capturing the container, said fixed part (B) further having an opening (6) connecting the top of the container to the upper side of the fixed part. The top (A, B) further comprises a flexible part (A) connected to the fixed part (B) in such a position that it may bear against the opening (6) of the fixed part (B); and sealing means (12) connected to the top (A, B). The sealing means (12) is pressed against the top of the container around an opening (2a) in the container.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a cover mountable to a beverage container and mounting method and apparatus thereof. The container cover detachably mountable to an upper surface of a beverage container comprises a body which is formed to have substantially a disc-shaped configuration. The body is partly cut away from an edge toward a center thereof thereby to define a beverage discharging opening which has a predetermined width and a predetermined contour, The beverage discharging opening is capable of being selectively communicated with a discharging hole of the beverage container as the body is rotated. An inner end of the beverage discharging opening is delimited by a rotation guiding part which has a predetermined curvature to guide rotation of the body. The body has a straw insertion hole which is defined therein at a predetermined location to have a predetermined diameter in a manner such that a straw can be inserted therethrough. The body further has an advertisement surface which has a predetermined area in a manner such that an advertising design, letters, and so forth can be printed or an attachment can be affixed thereon.
Abstract:
A beverage can. In order to obtain distribution in hygienic conditions of fluid contained in the can a protection element is provided, which has a first and a second laminar portion which are superimposed and connected in a manner which is hermetically sealed but which is separable by being pivoted around a hinge. An upper surface of the first laminar portion of the protection element becomes a sterile support surface for an upper lip, and the lower surface of the second laminar portion of the protection element becomes a sterile support surface for a lower lip.
Abstract:
A cover or lid device for attachment to a depressed top portion of a beverage can, said top portion being of a type having as an integral unit a wall, a can top member with pouring aperture providing means, and a recessed portion bridging said wall and said top member, said cover or lid device comprising a plate member, a circumferential ring member integral with said plate member, and a resilient member member attached to an outside face of said ring member, said resilient member having in cross section an upper lip portion, a lower bead portion and a concave portion therebetween, said lip portion for engaging said wall and said bead portion for fitting into said recessed portion. Said resilient member may be made from a soft material, such as soft plastics. An edible or non-edible article may be accomodated between said plate member and said can top member.
Abstract:
Beverage cans often are stored or transported in surroundings which are not hygienic. The result is that a beverage can may reach the end user in a condition, which is not only unattractive but is also unhygienic. The invention provides a cover for assisting in overcoming this problem and, if required, providing additionally or alternatively a promotional advantage. Such as a cover for a dispensing opening of a beverage can includes a disc and an attachment area associated with the disc for attaching the disc removably to a beverage can for closing off the dispensing opening of the beverage can. The invention also is directed to a method for applying the cover to a beverage can.
Abstract:
A protective cap having a sealable cover for canned soft drinks and the like is disclosed. The cap comprises an outer periphery configured to receive and snap over a conventional beverage can such that a gas-tight seal is formed, a grate positioned to cover the opening in the top of the can through which the beverage may be consumed, and a hingeable cover having a seal which can be rotated between opened and closed positions to permit consumption of the beverage when in the open position and to seal the container when in the closed position. The sealing of the container prevents contamination of the enclosed beverage and seals in carbonation. It also prevents spillage if the container is overturned.
Abstract:
A disposable lid which is detachably fastened to the upper marginal lip of a beverage can. The lid overlies the top wall of the can to prevent entry of dirt prior to use of the can.
