Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a movement element on a movable and resealable can lid according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] The invention further relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 12. background

[0003] Cans such as patent lid cans and push-in lid cans are well known. These are made as tin cans, usually made of tinplate, i.e., tin-plated steel. In addition to good leak-tightness, these tin cans are also stackable and offer secure protection for the contents, e.g., paints, varnishes, lubricants, glazes, oils, pastes, waxes, etc.

[0004] Patent lid cans, also known as ring cans or lacquer cans, are made of plain tinplate with a folded ring and a push-in lid. The ring and bottom seam are sealed with a rubber lining in the seam. The cans close tightly with the push-in lid. The lid is pressed into the ring, thus closing the can safely and reliably. The can can be opened and resealed as often as required. The lid is pried off with a suitable tool to open it. Ring cans are ideal for retention samples. Patent lid cans are proven and safe packaging for varnishes, paints, wood preservatives, solvent-based products, and other chemical-technical products, as well as for certain foodstuffs. The cans can be designed without an interior coating. However, for water-containing contents, e.g.For acrylic paints, there are so-called acrylic paint ring cans with a special interior coating and a powder-coated weld seam for corrosion protection. Patent-lid cans are available in a wide variety of designs and sizes, from up to 3000 ml. A can with a nominal volume of 100 ml, for example, has a height of approximately 55 mm and a diameter of 56 mm.

[0005] Push-in lid cans, also known as external roll cans or plate-lid cans, are very easy to empty because they have no ring or rim at the opening. The body edge is rimmed on the outside. The maximum opening corresponds to the diameter and is therefore ideal for viscous, solid, and pasty products. Tinplate cans with push-in lids, which offer excellent emptying properties, are also available in a wide variety of designs and sizes. For example, a can with a nominal volume of 1000 ml has a diameter of 99 mm and a height of approximately 150 mm.

[0006] Tinplate is thin-rolled steel coated with a tin layer to protect against corrosion. Tinplate is versatile, formable, lightweight, robust, stable, resilient, and leak-proof. Steel has no expiration date and can be recycled multiple times without loss of quality. Mechanical strength is just one of the advantages of tinplate packaging; the metal shell remains intact even under heavy loads, reliably protecting the contents from external influences and preserving the recipe.

[0007] For the storage and transport of filled cans, lid securing clips are used which are placed over the rim and can be removed by hand or with pliers.

[0008] For transporting larger cans, handles or carrying straps are provided, which are either attached to the can or snap into corresponding slots on the side. The carrying straps are then included in the lid, for example, and are snapped into the corresponding slots after removal.

[0009] A push-in lid is usually opened with a screwdriver or other mechanical tool such as a knife or spatula, but often also with a key. After prying or opening the can, the can lid must be removed and put down. This is usually done by hand. In doing so, fingers usually come into contact with the contents, e.g. paint or varnish. Wearing gloves is not always practical. When closing the can lid, contact is also often made with paint or residues that are on the underside of the can lid even after some time and may have run over the rim. In addition, picking up the can lid is not always easy, depending on where it is placed or stored.

[0010] Document US 1 725 477 A shows the preamble of claim 1. Description of the invention

[0011] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a movement element of the type mentioned at the outset which overcomes at least one disadvantage of the known element.

[0012] In particular, the aim is to provide a movement element that is highly acceptable to users in terms of its usability. This movement element should preferably be as simple as possible to install and use, but also safe for transport or movement, and involve only low material costs.

[0013] It is an object of the invention to move a can lid without touching it.

[0014] A further object of the invention is to move a can lid by hand in such a way without bringing the hand or hands into contact with the contents.

[0015] Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to guide a can lid in such a way that it can be easily placed and picked up.

[0016] At least one of these objects was achieved with a movement element according to claim 1.

[0017] The movement element is particularly suitable for can lids that are designed as patent lids or push-in lids as well as for cans with such lids, i.e. patent lid cans or push-in lid cans.

[0018] It is preferred that the angled handle has a substantially right angle, with a longer side of the handle being able to extend along a can wall. This ensures that the handle rests against the side of the can without taking up much space around or on a can. This is advantageous for storage and transport. One side of the handle then runs substantially parallel to the can wall, preferably at a short distance from it. Depending on the embodiment, a slightly acute angle is advantageous if the handle is to fit snugly against the can. If space is available, in special embodiments the angled handle can have a slightly obtuse angle, which makes it easier to pick up the handle.

[0019] If the angled handle is preferably made of a metallic material, then the handle is robust and guarantees safe and stable handling. Stability can be ensured depending on the thickness. If the metallic material is sheet metal or tinplate, i.e., it is made of a similar or identical material to the can lid or can, then easy disposal and recycling is possible without first removing the handle and disposing of it separately.

[0020] In a particular embodiment, the angled, usually narrow, handle is essentially formed as an elongated rectangle, i.e., the angled handle is formed or shaped from a substantially elongated rectangle. This allows for easy production, e.g., using stamping tools.

[0021] In another embodiment, the angled handle has a curve at one end and a substantially straight edge at the other end. The curve reduces the risk of injury and allows for a better grip. The substantially straight edge at the other end ensures a clean finish on the inside edge of the lid. Depending on the width of the handle, it may be advantageous to slightly adapt the edge to the inside edge of the lid by rounding it accordingly.

[0022] In yet another embodiment, the angled handle has a substantially straight edge at a first end and a termination, e.g. a slight curve or curvature, at a second end.

[0023] If the shorter side of the angled handle does not protrude beyond the edge of the can lid or is flush with the inner edge, there is no risk of injury. Furthermore, less material is required for the handle.

[0024] Another aspect of the present invention relates to a can lid having a substantially angled handle mounted on top of the can lid.

[0025] Another aspect of the present invention relates to a movable or removable can lid having a handle attached to the can lid and angled toward the bottom of the can lid.

[0026] Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to a movable or removable can lid having a substantially angled handle having a first end secured to the top of the can lid and a second end extending toward the bottom of the can lid.

[0027] The handle is attached with a first side to the top of the can lid and extends with a second side towards the bottom of the can lid.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the handle is attached to the top edge, allowing for easy fixation. The handle can be attached to the top edge and end inward with the edge, or it can extend inward over the top edge toward the center, ensuring an even more secure hold due to the larger attachment surface.

[0029] If the handle on the edge of the can lid extends beyond the bottom, this creates an excellent grip for placing the can lid on its top or upside down and for picking it up again without touching the can lid or the contents. Usually, if a can lid is placed on its top, liquid, i.e. paint or varnish, from the bottom or residue that is on the bottom runs off over the sides. This happens depending on the position of the can lid when it is placed down. Because the handle on the edge of the can lid extends upwards beyond the bottom, this area cannot be affected or wetted by the running-off residue, so the handle remains clean.

[0030] In an embodiment not covered by the invention, the handle is attached or glued to the top of the can lid with a contact adhesive, which allows simple and subsequent attachment to already finished cans or lids.

[0031] In a further embodiment, not encompassed by the invention, the handle is connected to the can lid on the top side by a soldered connection, a welded connection, a spot welded connection, or a riveted connection. This creates a secure connection between the handle and the can lid. In further embodiments, other connection techniques, such as crimping or pressing techniques, are also possible, but the associated costs must be considered.

[0032] In a further embodiment, which is not covered by the invention, it is particularly preferred to produce the can lid directly with the handle.

[0033] Subsequent attachment of the handle would then be unnecessary. It's also advantageous if the can lid and handle are made of the same material.

[0034] For example, if the can lid has two handles, it would be possible to guide the lid even more securely with both hands.

[0035] In another embodiment, the can lid includes three handles, which allows the can to be placed with the bottom facing down for targeted draining, as the three handles act as feet.

[0036] According to the invention, the handle has at least one magnetic area. If the magnetic area is located, for example, on the short side of the handle, the handle can be placed on and removed from the lid edge at any time. The functionality of the handle is also maintained in this embodiment.

[0037] A handle with a magnetic area can also be manufactured and offered as a separate tool for metal and tin cans. One side, preferably the longer side, can be designed and used for lid opening. Such a tool is suitable for removing a push-in lid from the can and then, using the magnetic area, attaching the handle to the can lid. The tool can be reused as often as required.

[0038] Another aspect of the present invention relates to a can comprising a movable or removable can lid.

[0039] In one embodiment, the can comprises one or more stabilizers or stabilizing areas, which can be designed in different ways. A first stabilizer can be a projection or an extension towards the top of the can lid. The longer side of the handle can preferably protrude beyond the top of the can lid. A second stabilizer can be attached to the opposite side. This improves stackability. Such a stabilizer can be attached to the can wall and protrude just above the top of the can lid. Two second or more stabilizers further increase safety. Slipping or tipping of cans stacked on top of one another can thus be largely prevented. Two or three stabilizers or stabilizing areas are preferred, which are arranged opposite one another or in a triangular shape.The stabilizers or stabilization areas are also called guide or guide areas.

[0040] Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method for moving, removing, or applying a can lid without coming into contact with the contents, such as paint, glue, or kit. The method comprises the steps of providing a can lid with a substantially angled handle, grasping the substantially angled handle, and moving, for example, removing or lifting, the can lid by means of the handle.

[0041] Moving the can end using the handle can also involve lifting and setting it down. The can end is usually, or in practice, placed upside down. Residues from the contents, such as paint or varnish, then usually run over the edge, so that only safe picking up using the handle is guaranteed. It is advisable to place the can end on a suitable surface. With paper, the lid usually sticks to the end. However, this is advantageous with the handle, as lifting using the handle and counterpressure near the bonding point allows for safe lifting or picking up.

[0042] Moving the can lid using the handle can also include picking up the discarded can lid and positioning the can lid over the can opening. The lid can then be closed by pressing it against the can. A major advantage is that hands remain clean and do not come into contact with the contents, such as paint or varnish. This is especially useful for those with thicker fingers or longer nails. Character description

[0044] The embodiments shown in Figures 1-4 and 8a-10b which are not covered by claim 1 are not part of the invention, but represent background information useful for understanding the invention. Implementation of the invention

[0045] Fig. 1a shows a movement element 1 in a side view. The movement element 1 is shown in a view from the right and comprises a shorter side 6 and a longer side 7, which is designed as a handle 2. The shorter side 6 has a fastening area 15 at the end. The shorter side 6 and the longer side 7 are angled to each other and form an angle 4, which in a preferred embodiment represents a substantially right angle. The lower end of the longer side 7 could advantageously be bent slightly outwards, as in Fig. 4cThis would allow for better gripping or picking up or grasping of the handle 2. The moving element 1 preferably comprises sheet metal or tinplate. The longer side 7 can contain recesses or cutouts that serve to reduce weight or improve the visual design. A coating of another material, such as plastic or rubber, over the handle 2 can positively influence the gripping behavior.

[0046] Fig. 1b shows another movement element in another side view. The movement element 1 is shown in this view from the left and again comprises a shorter side 6 with a first end 9a and a longer side 7, which is designed as a handle 2. The longer side 7 has a second end 9b. A fastening area 15 is located at the first end 9a of the shorter side 6. The shorter side 6 can also be referred to as the shorter leg 6 and the longer side 7 as the longer leg 7.

[0047] Fig. 2a shows a three-dimensional representation of a can 10 with a moving element 1. The can 10 is designed here as a can with a back lid. A can lid 12 is located on the can 10.

[0048] The can 10 and the can lid 12 are preferably made of tinplate. The can 10 is cylindrical and rolled outwards at the upper can edge, which allows for good emptying of the contents due to a smooth edge. The body sheet is welded in a longitudinal joint (not shown). The bottom of the can 10 is folded and the folded joint is preferably sealed. For low-viscosity filling materials, the can lid 12 can be provided with an inflatable rubber seal. The can lid 12 has a fixed movement element 1 on the upper side 13. The movement element 1 is attached to the lid edge 14 and extends as a handle 2 along a lateral can wall 16 downwards towards the can bottom. The handle has a curve 3 which Fig. 3 or Fig. 4c is better visible. In a preferred embodiment, the movement element 1 is fastened in the fastening area 15 on the lid edge 14 with an adhesive connection. A durable adhesive or a metal adhesive is used. In a further embodiment, the movement element 1 is welded in the fastening area 15 on the lid edge 14, for example by means of spot welding. A soldered connection between the lid edge 14 and the short side 6 of the movement element 1 in the fastening area 15 is also possible. Depending on the material, other joining techniques can also be used. If the short side 6 is longer and extends over the lid edge 14 inwards at the bottom of the top side 13, as in Fig. 8c As shown, the moving element 1 can be more securely attached to the upper side 13 with a rivet, weld, or other connection. This allows for a better leverage effect.

[0049] Fig. 2b shows a three-dimensional view of a can 10 with a moving element 1. The can 10 is designed here as a patented lid can. The patented lid can is a suitable metal packaging for chemical products, e.g., paints and varnishes, which is also stackable. A removable and movable can lid 12 is located on the can 10.

[0050] The can 10 and the can lid 12 are preferably made of tinplate. The body of the can 10 is cylindrical. The can lid 12 is circular and has a fixed movement element 1 on the top 13. The movement element 1 is attached to the lid edge 14, which does not extend all the way to one can wall 16. The movement element 1 extends as a handle 2 along the side can wall 16 downwards to the can bottom.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the movement element 1 is fastened in the fastening area 15 on the lid edge 14, e.g., by means of adhesive or glue. The short side 6 does not extend beyond the inner lid edge. In a further embodiment, the movement element 1 is soldered in the fastening area 15 on the lid edge 14. A spot weld connection between the lid edge 14 and the short side 6 of the movement element 1 is also possible. All metal joining techniques suitable for securely attaching the movement element 1 in the fastening area 15 to the lid edge 14 can be used for fastening.

[0052] Fig. 2c shows another can 10 with a moving element 1 in a three-dimensional view. The can 10 is also designed as a patented lid can. On the can 10 is a can lid 12 with a moving element 1 facing the viewer.

[0053] The body of the can 10 is also cylindrical, but narrower than in Fig. 2b The can lid 12 is circular and has a fixed movement element 1 on the top side 13. The movement element 1 is attached to the lid edge 14. The movement element 1, attached to the lid edge 14, extends as a handle 2 along the side can wall 16 downwards toward the can bottom. The movement element 1 is firmly connected to the lid edge in the attachment area 15. The short side 6 does not extend beyond the inner lid edge.

[0054] Fig. 3shows a moving element 1 in a non-angled state in a top view. The moving element 1 has a shorter side 6 and a longer side 7, which are essentially separated by a bend line 8. The longer side 7 forms a handle 2 or handle-like element. The longer side 7 has a rounded portion 3 at the end, which can minimize the risk of injury. The shorter side 6 ends with a substantially straight edge 5. In a preferred embodiment, the edge 5 ends with the inner wheel of the can lid. Any protrusion would pose a risk of injury.

[0055] Fig. 4ashows a plan view of a movement element 1 in its raw state. It shows an essentially elongated rectangle 40 from which an angled handle 2 can be formed. The movement element 1 is produced as an elongated rectangle 40 from a sheet of sheet metal or tinplate using punching tools. Burrs are removed by light deburring. The width and thickness of the movement element 1 must be adapted to ensure good grip properties.

[0056] Fig. 4b shows a top view of a moving element 1 after a first processing step. A rounded portion 3 is provided on one side to minimize the risk of injury. In a preferred embodiment, the moving element 1 is punched directly with the rounded portion 3. The rounded portion 3 then no longer needs to be created by machining. A light deburring would then be the next step before any bending or angling takes place.

[0057] Fig. 4cshows a first embodiment of a moving element 1 in a side view. The moving element 1 is angled at the angled line 8 and forms a shorter side 6 with a first end 9a and a longer side 7, which is used as a handle 2. The shorter side 6 and the longer side 7 with a second end 9b form a substantially right angle. The longer side 7 has a slight curve at the second end 9b, which serves for a better grip. The curve points away from the can wall when the can lid is in place. A combination of curvature and rounding, as in Fig. 3 shown, at the second end 9b allows a safe and optimal intervention.

[0058] Fig. 4dshows a second embodiment of a movement element 1 in a side view. In this embodiment, the shorter side 6 and the longer side 7 form a slightly obtuse angle. This embodiment facilitates easier gripping of the handle.

[0059] Fig. 4e shows a third embodiment of a movement element 1 in a side view, with the shorter side 6 and the longer side 7 forming a slightly acute angle. This is advantageous if the handle 2 is to fit tightly against a can wall 16.

[0060] Fig. 4f shows a fourth embodiment of a moving element 1 in a side view, wherein the bend is designed as a rounded or nearly circular shape. This embodiment can be used with certain types of cans or lids, for example, when a straight bend is not suitable. Furthermore, stackability can be improved.

[0061] Fig. 4g shows a moving element 1 in yet another embodiment in a side view. The moving element 1 has a shorter side 6 with a first end 9a and a longer side 7 with a second end 9b. The longer side 7 further has a projection or extension 50 with a third end 9c. The extension 50 can serve as a stabilizer, stabilization, or stabilization region. The extension 50 or stabilizer protrudes beyond the can lid top 13 and the rim 14.

[0062] In Fig. 5shows a can lid 12 with a movement element 1 according to the invention shown in cross section. The can lid 12 has a top side 13 and a bottom side 11. In addition, the can lid 12 has an edge 14. A movement element 1 is fastened to the edge 14 in the fastening area 15, which has a handle 2 or handle area 2. In this position, the can lid 12 with the movement element 1 is usually located on a can. Even after a long time, if the can has not been moved or has hardly been moved, there are usually residues of paint, varnish, putty, glue or other contents on the underside 11 of the can lid, which generally lead to contamination or soiling of the fingers or hands when the can lid 12 is opened without the handle 2.

[0063] Fig. 6shows a can lid 12 with a moving element 1 according to the invention. The can lid 12 is placed on its upper side 13, e.g., on a table. The moving element 1 now projects upwards with the handle 2. Paint or varnish residues 60 located on the underside 11 of the can lid generally run off over the edge 14. The handle 2 is not affected by this, as it protrudes or protrudes beyond it. Thus, the handle 2 remains free of paint or varnish residues 60 and can therefore be securely gripped, and the can lid 12 can be picked up cleanly.

[0064] Fig. 7ashows a moving element 1 according to the invention with a magnetic region 70. The magnetic region 70 is located on the short side 6 and approximately corresponds to the fastening region 15. The magnetic region 70 can comprise a permanent magnet 70 which is attached or permanently fastened in the fastening region 15 of the short side 6. Since tinplate packaging is magnetic, the magnetic region 70 of the moving element 1 can be placed onto an edge 14 of a can lid 12. After the can lid 12 has been opened, it can be lifted off and moved using the handle 2 of the attached moving element 1. The force of the magnetic region 70 is crucial for how well the moving element 1 adheres to the can lid 12. A fixed connection between the can lid 12 and the moving element 1 is omitted in this embodiment. Furthermore, the moving element 1 with a magnetic region 70 can be used multiple times, even as often as desired.

[0065] Fig. 7b shows yet another embodiment of a moving element 1 with two magnetic areas 70, 72. A first magnetic area 70 is located on the short side 6 and a second magnetic area 72 is located on the longer side 7. If a magnetic area 72 is located on the longer side 7, this can contribute to the stability of the moving element 1, since it then adheres better to a can wall.

[0066] The magnetic area 72 can also be attached to the outside of the handle 2, creating a magnetic connection with other cans. However, in this embodiment, the short side 6 should be firmly connected to the lid rim 14 to ensure basic stability.

[0067] Fig. 8ashows a movement element 1 with handle 2 in a further embodiment with a larger magnetic region 70 in a three-dimensional representation. The movement element 1 has in this embodiment a longer magnetic region 70 that extends on the top side 13 of the can lid up to approximately the center of the can lid. The side 6, which was short in the previous exemplary embodiments, is longer here, possibly the same length as the handle or even longer. This provides a larger contact surface between the movement element 1 and the top side 13 of the can lid 12. If the movement element 1 has two similar or identical magnetic regions 70, 72 and the sides are of approximately the same length, then it does not matter which way the movement element 1 is attached. This ensures rapid availability and applicability.

[0068] Fig. 8bshows a movement element 1 in yet another embodiment in a three-dimensional representation, wherein the movement element 1 extends completely over the can lid 12 and has two point magnetic areas 81, 82. The shorter side becomes the longer one here.

[0069] Fig. 8c shows a can lid 12 with a handle 2, wherein the shorter side 6 extends with a first end 9a over an edge fastening area 90 onto the can lid top 13. A second end 9b on the longer side 7 of the handle 2 is free, or a free end. The handle 2 is fastened on the top in the edge fastening area 90 and extends inward, which guarantees an even more secure hold since the fastening surface is enlarged.

[0070] Fig. 9ashows a moving element 1 in a further embodiment with an angular bend in a side view. In this embodiment, the magnetic area 70 is securely positioned on the top side 13 of a can lid.

[0071] Fig. 9b shows a moving element 1 in a further embodiment with a rounded bend in a side view. Depending on the lid edge 14, the bend can be adjusted to meet the respective application requirements and stackability.

[0072] Fig. 10ashows a can 10 with a moving element 1. The moving element 1 has a projection or extension 50 on the handle 2, which projects beyond the edge 14 of the top 13. The extension 50, also called the first stabilizer 50, serves for stabilization or improved stackability. A second stabilizer 52 is arranged opposite on the can wall 16, which also projects beyond the edge 14 of the top 13 to prevent cans stacked on top of one another from slipping.

[0073] Fig. 10b shows another can 10 with a movement element 1 and two stabilizers 52, 53. Next to the second stabilizer 52, a third stabilizer 53 is arranged at a distance in order to completely prevent slipping of cans stacked on top of each other and to ensure even better stackability.

[0074] Using the angled handle 2, a can lid 12 can be easily moved, lifted, turned over, or inverted, as well as picked up and placed on a can. Contamination with the contents, such as paint, glue, putty, or varnish, can be avoided.

[0075] The present invention is applicable to all metal packaging made of tinplate and containers that include a lid, such as push-in lid cans or patent lid cans, push-in lid buckets, patent lid buckets, ring buckets or pails, hobbocks, etc., and all volumes. Application examples for such metal packaging are diverse: varnishes and paints, wood preservatives, sealants, adhesives, lubricating greases, pastes, casting compounds, bitumen, resins, adhesives, printing inks, emulsion paints, greases, and chemical products.

[0076] The present invention shows a movement element, a can lid, a can, and a method for moving a can lid. It goes without saying that numerous other embodiments are conceivable for a person skilled in the art based on the exemplary embodiments described. List of reference symbols
