Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] It had the following drawbacks. i. Since the cap-cum-cover of the invention is of the type that fits and attaches to the upper lid, it needs to be removed when drinking and held by hand or placed in another place. Therefore, after drinking, the cap-cum-cover may not be fitted immediately and the drinking opening may be in an open state sometimes. ii. When the cap-cum-cover is removed and placed in another place when drinking, depending on the place where it is placed, foreign matter may adhere to the cap-cum-cover, causing it to mix into the canned beverage.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] A beverage can cover (a) having a fixing part (1) that can be easily detached from a beverage can (5), connecting a cover (3) for preventing flying insects, dust, etc. from entering the drinking opening and the fixing part (1) with a hinge (2), and allowing the cover (3) to be easily opened and closed while being attached to the beverage can (5).

Advantages of the Invention

[0006] By using the present invention, the cover (3) of the beverage can cover (a) can be easily opened and closed while being attached to the beverage can (5). Therefore, after drinking the canned beverage, the cover (3) can be closed immediately, and the open state of the drinking opening can be suppressed as much as possible. Since the cover (3) is made of a transparent or translucent resin, the inside of the cover (3) can be visually recognized, and the presence or absence of flying insects or dust can be visually confirmed when it is closed. When attaching the fixing part (1), by attaching it to the upper part of the neck (4) on the side opposite to the drinking opening, the fixing part (1) does not hit the mouth when drinking the canned beverage, and it can be drunk without discomfort. To improve the distinctiveness, by attaching a color or a mark to the fixing part (1) or the cover (3), one's own beverage can cover (a) can be distinguished from a plurality of beverage can covers (a). This prevents accidental drinking.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] (A) A resin material formed into a C shape is used to fit and attach the fixing part (1) of the beverage can cover (a) horizontally to the upper part of the neck (4) of the beverage can (5). By forming the inner diameter dimension of the fixing part (1) slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the upper part of the neck (4) of the beverage can (5), the attachment can be held. (B) The shape of the cover (3) is formed into a bowl shape so as not to interfere with the pull tab, and is sized to cover the entire upper lid of the beverage can (5) to prevent the entry of flying insects, dust, etc. In addition, a transparent or translucent resin material is used for the cover (3) to improve the visibility inside the cover (3), so that it is possible to confirm whether flying insects, dust, etc. have entered the cover (3). (C) By connecting the fixing part (1) and the cover (3) with a hinge (2), the cover (3) can be easily opened and closed while the beverage can cover (a) is attached to the beverage can (5). In addition, by setting the opening and closing angle of the cover (3) to 180 degrees or more, the cover (3) does not touch the face during drinking and does not cause discomfort. (D) To improve the discriminability, the fixing part (1) or the cover (3) is colored or marked so that the user can distinguish their own beverage can cover (a) from a plurality of beverage can covers (a). This prevents accidental drinking.

Industrial Applicability

[0009] It can be expected to be used not only for personal use but also for outdoor events and the like.
