- US Patent No. 6,450,358 describes an attachment in the form of a second lid for the type of "pop-top" cans.
- the "pop-top” cans are those cans whose upper part is a handle that creates force against an openwork section of said upper part of the can in order to open the can and drink the contents of the can.
- the invention of the aforementioned patent is made of an elastic material that has a skirt with a radial lip directed inwards at its outer periphery with a defined drinking port completely along its structure. The beverage port is radially spaced inward from the periphery of the layer attachment for alignment with the can.
- conventional beverage cans are made of aluminum, steel or some other metal with a cylindrical configuration in general with partially flat upper parts and concave lower parts.
- the upper part of the cans is usually circular, the side wall of the can is rolled up with the upper wall of the outer wall of the can in order to seal the internal contents.
- patent 5,947,324 Another invention that solves this same problem is patent 5,947,324.
- This invention provides an adapter in the form of an upper part of a bottle, so that the consumer can drink from the can, as if he were drinking from a bottle.
- the adapter can be detached and held at any time.
- One of the objects of said invention is to provide greater hygiene to the product being consumed, made by means of the adapter.
- the problem with this invention is that at the time the can is poured so that its product can be consumed, it touches the metal from the top of the can, so that the organic or inorganic contaminants that the part may have top of the can, they will be taken with the liquid.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,951,344 Another attempt to solve this problem is U.S. Patent No. 4,951,344. This device cleans contaminants from the top and top side of a can. However, this device is expensive to produce for the baler or the producer of the can. Additionally it is impractical to be charging with said cleaning device.
- the Mexican utility model application No. PA / u / 2004/000114 of the same inventors of the present invention is also found.
- the invention of the application also aims to keep the top of the beverage can clean of contaminants.
- One of the disadvantages presented by the above-mentioned invention is the lack of sealing of the lid, which the present invention solves, allowing particles and substances that are slightly larger than particles, which are not very hygienic, get into the same problem as the present application. Solve, as you will see later.
- the connection between the lid and the concentric ring is different, since in the aforementioned model application it does not keep the lid fully open at the time it is desired to take, a problem that is solved in the present invention.
- Another advantage of this cover is a guarantee seal, which does not present the invention of the model of utility.
- Another advantage presented by the present invention against the requested utility model is the removable cover once the warranty seal is broken, as will be explained later.
- another advantage of the present invention is that the part where the lower lip is placed for drinking is also totally free of contaminants, since the guarantee seal is sealed in its lower part.
- one of the objects of this invention is to keep the top of the beverage can clean of contaminants.
- Another object of the invention in question is to keep the upper side parts of a beverage can clean of contaminants.
- Still another object of the present invention maintain a reasonable cost for the producer, the distributor or the packer, depending on who produces the invention in question.
- Another object of the present invention is that the invention can be disposable.
- Another object of the present invention is that said invention does not hinder while the consumer is drinking the liquid that comes from the can. Additionally, the present invention aims to give the consumer a guarantee that the lid has not been broken and therefore that there are no contaminants in the upper area of the can.
- Another object of the present invention is that the sealing cap can be easily detached.
- the present invention also aims to give the consumer a guarantee that the lid has not been broken and therefore that there are no contaminants in the upper area where the lower lip makes contact with the can.

- the skirt (3) is made of any of the above mentioned materials. That is, said lid (1) and said skirt (3) can be made of any material that is flexible and adapts to the needs of said lid (1) of said can (2).
- the skirt (3) is initially attached to said cover (1) and to said flange (4). It is important to mention that the three elements, the skirt (3), the cover (1) and the flange (4) are connected directly with the can (2). Later, it will be explained in more detail how they are attached and how to detach said lid (1) from said can (2).
- said skirt (3) incompletely surrounds the upper part of said can (2), since said skirt (3) is cut by said flange (4).
- Said skirt (3) is preferably Made of a flexible material, however it can be made of any material type.
- the flange (4) is in the form of a tongue, where said flange (4) acquires that shape, in order to cover the side wall part (9) of the can (2), with the that the lower lip of the consumer will make contact.
- Fixing the lid (1) to the can (2) is achieved provided that the skirt (3) of the lid (1) has an inner radius smaller than the outer diameter of the can (2) throughout the area contact.
- the material used for the lid (1) which can be selected from high impact polyethylene, has elastic properties that will allow it, by means of a die, to assemble the caps (1) to the cans (2) and the properties of Material memory will achieve fixation. In all this part there will be practically a seal that will ensure that no dust or any type of substance enters between the lid (1) and the can (2).
- the material of said cover (1) and said skirt (3) is preferably selected from materials that are flexible, light, cheap and not very porous.
- Said striated line (5) which is between said cover (1) and said skirt (3), is hermetically sealed, thereby sealing said cover (1), as will be explained later.
- (1) can be opened up to 270 ° from its original position.
- said cover (1) consists of an upper surface (6) that is regularly flat and a constant circular edge (7), which emerges from said upper surface (6).
- Bliss upper surface (6) must have a diameter similar to the upper part of said can (2).
- Said edge (7) is part of said upper surface (6), as is the flange (4).
- Figure 3 also shows said flange (4) of said cover (1).
- Said skirt (3) is fixed to the can (2), whereby said lid (1) cannot be rotated in different directions. However, if the consumer of said can (2) finds said lid (1) uncomfortable to drink from the can (2), said consumer can remove said lid (1) to consume the product of said can (2).
- the edge (7) of the lid joins with the skirt (3) of said lid, by means of the striated line (5) that seals tightly to the top of the can , in order that said lid (1) can be completely removable from said can (2), by means of breaking said striated line (5).
- said lid (1) as a whole, ie said skirt (3), said upper surface (6) and said edge (7) cover the surface of said can (2) where the consumer takes his drink.
- said upper surface of the can (2), or the upper wall (10) and the upper part of the side wall (9) from the can (2) where the consumer drinks keep clean of organic and inorganic contaminants.
- the lower part of said edge (7) has a diameter greater than said diameter of said upper surface (6).
- the purpose of said edge (7) being able to cover the upper part of the side wall (9) of said can, specifically the part where said side wall (9) of said can (2) is wound with the upper wall (10) of said can (2), and where it is not covered by said skirt (3).
- FIG 4 of the present invention it can be seen how said cover (1) is detached from said skirt (3). Since the skirt (3) and the cover (1) are hermetically sealed by means of the striated line (5), in order to detach said cover (1) from said skirt (3) it is necessary to pull said flange (4) towards above according to the can (2), so that said striated line (5) begins to break and said lid to detach from said skirt (3).
- the striated line (5) of the present invention begins to break evenly on each side, from an initial part (16) to an end part (17) of the striated line. When the entire striated line (5) is broken, the lid can be opened, subsequently the can can be opened and consumed accordingly.
- the cover (1) of Figure 5 is in a semi-open position. As mentioned earlier, one of the advantages of this cover (1) is that it can remain in several positions.
- Figure 5 shows that the cover (1) is at 90 ° according to the skirt and 0 or according to the can.
- the skirt (3) remains attached to the can (2), however, the lid can be detached at the time the user needs it.
- FIG 6 of the present invention said cover (1) is shown in a fully open position.
- the lid (1) is a little more than 180 ° according to the skirt and a little more than 90 ° according to the can.
- the skirt (3) remains attached to the can (2), however, said lid (1) can be detached from said can (2) when the user need.
- said skirt (3) does not complete a total circle; that is, the skirt (3) does not hug the can (2) completely.
- FIG 7 of the present invention the upper part of said can lid (1) can be seen.
- said link (8) has three main components: (a) an upper part (12), a lower part (11) and a handle (13 ).
- Figure 7, 8, 9 and 10 only show the link (8) in its different positions, as it can be closed, see figure 7, open, see figure 8 and fully open, see figures 9 and 10.
- the tight seal is achieved with the upper part (12) of the link (8) and the lower part (11) of the link (8).
- the radii of curvature in the lid (1) require that it be deformed when closing and that the upper part (12) is inserted in the lower part (11), thus making a closure between the lower part (11) and the upper part (12).
- When closing the lower part (11) and the upper part (12) completely cover the striated line (5) by applying pressure on it throughout the circumference achieving a tight seal.
- the lower part (11) of the link (8) contains said handle (13).
- the upper part (12) contains a hole (14) the part that is almost adjacent to the lower part (11).
- the handle (13) contains a hook (15) at its end.
- Said handle (13) has a width slightly smaller than the hole (14) of the upper part (12) of the link
- said lid (1) can remain a little more than 180 ° from the skirt (3), making it more comfortable for a user to drink this can, with the lid (1) of the present invention, since it does not have to be accommodating and rearranging the lid (1) of the can (2). If the cover (1) is to return to the initial closed position, as can be seen in Figure 8, the hook (15) and the hole (14) they are flexible enough to allow the hook (15) to escape from said hole (14).
- figure 16 shows the cover (1) and the skirt (3) separately.
- the upper part (12) of the link (8) is part of the cover (1), while the lower part (11) of the link (8) is part of the skirt ( 3) .
- the cover (1) and the skirt (3) are joined together, it is sealed tightly, as previously stated, creating the striated line (5) between these two pieces.
- said lid (1) is fixed on its skirt (3) and on its upper surface (6), as mentioned previously, and in view of the fact that the striated line (5) is hermetically sealed, the lid, tightly closes to the upper wall (10) of the can (2) and to the side wall (9) in its upper part, of the can (2).
- said lid (1) With the lid (1) of the present invention, said lid (1) is prevented from coming into contact with the internal product of said can (2). Thus, the immediate and possibly subsequent contamination of said product of said can (2) is avoided.
- said lid (1) can be made of such a material that, at the time of being closed in the production plant, it creates an airtight or forced seal with said can (2), thus guaranteeing the hygiene conditions that prevail in the packaging plant until the moment of consumption of the product since it is released just before drinking the product.
- the material that has the greatest advantage for the above properties is high impact polyethylene, as mentioned above, however it is not limited to being the only material to be used in the lid.
- edge (7) contains a tongue, where this tongue is oval in shape, thus being in the same way as the user's lower lip.
- the present invention relates to a hygienic lid for use in a pop-type can comprising an upper surface, where said upper surface completely covers the upper wall of the can and where said surface can be flat, a skirt that emerges from said hoop-shaped upper surface, where said skirt is not complete hoop since the skirt is cut from being a hoop by the flange that comes from the lid and where said skirt is hermetically sealed with said upper surface by means of a grooved line, a flange attached to the upper surface where said flange is pulled so that said lid is separated from the upper wall of said can and a link in the upper part of the lid, which joins said upper surface and said skirt, where said link contains a handle, a hole and a hook where the closure of said can with said lid is airtight, where said hole and said hook are threaded to hold said lid in a specific position and where said hook can be disassembled from said hole, to return said cover to the initial closed position.
- the material of said skirt may be the same or different than that of the other components.
- the material of said skirt is preferably the same material as the other components.
- the delimitation of the cover and the ring are made by means of an initial part of the striated line and an end part of the striated line, where this same striated line provides a guarantee seal for the cover. It also has that the lid can be opened in different positions and that skirt and flange are long enough to cover the portion where the consumer's lower lip is place. Said skirt has a smaller inner radius than the outer diameter of the can in the entire contact area.
- the material of said skirt and of said cover is preferably a high impact polyethylene.
- the hermetic seal is achieved by means of the radii of the curvature in the lid, forcing the bond to deform when closing, causing the upper part to be inserted in the lower part, covering the striated line and applying pressure on said striated line.
