Benefits of technology
[0004] The present invention provides an apparatus for use with a beverage can for minimizing loss of effervescence of contents of such beverage can after such beverage can is opened. The apparatus comprises a first lid member having a first predetermined shape and formed from a first predetermined material. The first lid member is engageable with a top of such beverage can and has a first aperture formed therein. The first aperture is positioned closely adjacent an opening in a top of such beverage can. A second lid member is formed from a second predetermined material and has a second predetermined shape. The second lid member has a second aperture formed therein and is rotatingly engageable with the first lid member. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0008] Still another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus in which a simple twist of an upper part will align openings so that a user may drink the beverage in the container.
[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus in which another simple twist of an upper part will not align the openings in the two parts and substantially seal the opening in the beverage container.
Problems solved by technology
Nearly everyone has opened a can containing an effervescent beverage and was not able to drink the beverage at a sitting for whatever reason, possibly a phone call, a door bell, or any other distraction or simply because the container contained more than the person wanted at the time.
When the person returns to the beverage, the beverage may has lost much of the effervescence and possible the taste is lost.
