Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cap adapted to be used for canned drinks such as carbonated drinks, beer cans etc...
  • Polymer-based circular caps are mounted on can bodies in the manner to cover their entire top surfaces.
  • the circular caps are generally planar, sheet-like structures entirely covering the top surface of a can.
  • the present invention provides a two-part can cap fixedly attached to the top surface of a can with a stationary first part and a removable second part, the releasable connection between the two parts being reestablishable upon rupture of a one-time use safety ring.
  • the two-part cap according to the present invention practically eliminates any health hazard associated with insufficient hygiene of a can's top surface.
  • the cap of the present invention while efficient in achieving the anti-hygienic effect is advantageous due to it simplicity in configuration, therefore providing a cost-efficient design.
  • a user can easily open the cap being aware of the fact that he/she is the first person to open it and can consume the can content by direct contact with the mouth of the container without needing a straw and can place his/her lips close both to the external part of the can's top surface and to the mouth portion emptied by the tear-off tab.
  • One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a can practically eliminating any health hazard associated with insufficient hygiene of a drink can's top surface.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a cap for a drink can which is simple in configuration, therefore providing a cost-efficient design.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a can providing a releasable connection between two parts thereof, such connection being reestablishable upon rupture of a one-time use safety ring.
  • a two-part can cap having a first stationary part in the form of a ring attached to the top surface of a can for receiving a second part in a fixed manner.
  • Said second part is a threaded circular body suitable for rotatably engaging with said first part to establish a leak-proof connection.
  • Said fixing ring also having threads mating with said cap provides a conventional closure.
  • a handle is provided on the cap to be torn-off along a perforated circumferential line other than a binding line.
  • Fig.1 shows an exploded view of the first embodiment where the fixing ring has inner threads.
  • the cap (10) is preferably made of a polymer-based material in the form of a planar and circular sheet-like structure entirely covering the top surface of a can and incorporating a circular handle means (11) surrounding said cap (10) along its periphery.
  • the cap (10) of the present invention is manufactured in the form of a two-part body having a first ring-shaped stationary part (12) fixedly attached to the top surface of a can for receiving a second part, the cap (10) itself.
  • Said second part (10) is a threaded circular body suitable for rotatably engaging with said first part (12) to establish a leak-proof connection.
  • Said fixing ring (12) has threads mating with said cap (10) to provide a conventional threaded closure.
  • said fixing ring (12) is provided with inner threads (14).
  • the threads (13) of the cap (10) engage therewith to establish a threaded connection.
  • the fixing ring (12) of the present invention may feature outer threads (14) as shown in Fig. 7 and onwards. According to this embodiment, the cap's (10) threads (13) surround the fixing ring (12) from outside.
  • Said handle (11) is provided on the cap (10) to be torn-off along a perforated or bridged circumferential line except a binding line (15) as shown in Fig. 2a , Fig. 8b and Fig. 9 .
  • Said handle (11) may preferably be provided adjacent to a peripheral zone (16) on the upper surface of the cap (12). Upon rupture of said perforated line in a conventional and simple manner, a user may conveniently carry a can in one hand or even with a single finger.
  • the handle (11) may also be provided on the fixing ring (12) instead of the cap (10) itself, its function always remaining the same.
  • Said fixing ring (12) has an outer wall (17) and an inner wall (18), the surfaces of which are selectively provided with threads according to the first and second embodiments of the present invention.
  • Said fixing ring (12) is fixedly secured to the top surface of a can and securely held thereon by means of a recess (19) thereof, engaging with the upper surface peripheral protrusion of the can such that the established connection is undetectable to the extent that it can endure both the mechanical stress due to the weight of the can and the stress imposed by a user to detach the same.
  • the cap (10) also ensures that a user is aware of the fact that he/she is the first person to open it and can consume the can content by direct contact with the mouth of the container without hygiene concerns. This is achieved by a one-time use tear ring (21) having a tip portion (20) for easy grip.
  • a user can easily grip the tear tip (20) to tear away the perforated line (22) of the tear ring (21) and then open the cap (10) by rotating the same in a conventional manner. As it will not be possible to reestablish the perforated connection (22) after rupture, the user will not doubt whether the can surface is hygienic.
  • the present invention provides a very simple yet functional two-part cap assembly with a cap (10) suitable for covering a can surface.
  • Said cap (10) being in the form of a circular, sheet-like structure connected to a fixing ring (12) by means of a threaded connection.
  • Said fixing ring (12) is fixedly attached to the top surface of said can and establishes a releasable connection with said cap (10).
  • the handle (11) has at least partially a tearable line which is comprised of perforations or one or more tearable bridging connections.
