AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The closure system effectively seals the container, preserving the drink's taste and preventing contamination by allowing resealing after initial use, while also preventing spillage and gas loss.

Problems solved by technology

However, once the tab is removed from the drink container, the same tab cannot be reused for sealing the dispensing opening of the container.

For example, the uncovered drink may be exposed to dust particles, insects, snow, and the like, resulting in the contamination of the drink.

Moreover, gases present in the drink, such as a carbonated beverage, beer and the like, may escape upon prolonged exposure of the drink to external environment, thereby affecting the taste of the drink.
