Embodiment Construction

[0031]Referring to FIG. 1, a container for storing and dispensing liquids is shown in the form of a beverage can 10. Can 10 includes a circumferential wall in the form of cylindrical side wall 12 and a base portion in the form of base 14. Can 10 also includes a top portion in the form of cap 20 which includes an opening 22. Opening 22 is shown in FIG. 1 in the sealed state in which it is occupied by a frangible region 28 which is defined by score lines. The can is opened by lifting ring pull 24 which causes the frangible region 28 to become partially separated and bent inwardly of cap 20 to thereby form opening 22. The side wall 12 of can 10 includes a circumferential inwardly directed formation (see also FIG. 2) formed by the annular depression 30 in the wall.

[0032]Referring to FIG. 2, can 10 has been opened and is shown part way through dispensing the liquid contents 40 of the can by tipping the can on its side. Liquid 40 emanates from opening 22 as indicated by arrows F. As liqui...

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to containers for storing and dispensing liquids.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002]Most liquid storage containers have a sealed opening in their upper region. To dispense liquid from the container the opening is unsealed and then the container is tipped to cause the contents of the container to pour out of the opening. This arrangement is well known and is seen in beverage containers such as cans and bottles, and in larger containers such as drum type containers for storing larger volumes of fluids.[0003]Dispensing liquids from a container by tipping the container does bring several drawbacks. In the case of a beverage being drunk from a can or bottle, many have found that the experience of drinking the beverage is inferior to the experience of drinking the same beverage from a glass. In the case of dispensing liquids from larger drum type containers, it is often the case that spillage occurs which brings a risk of personal injury, f...
