Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of can lids, and more specifically, to can lids.

Background Art

[0002] With the development of society, storage cans have become common items that can be seen everywhere in people's lives. A storage can includes a can body and a can lid. In recent years, many improvements have been made to the appearance of the can body, but there have been relatively few improvements to the can lid.

[0003] In order to effectively store canned food for a long time, it is necessary to ensure a good sealing effect. After the canned food is sealed and undergoes high-temperature sterilization and cooling processes, the air pressure inside the can becomes lower than the external air pressure, and due to the pressure difference, the can lid is strongly adsorbed to the can mouth of the can body. Currently, the can lid is mainly opened manually, which is difficult for people with weak strength, such as the elderly and children. Furthermore, when using a can opener, there is a risk of damaging the can lid.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a can lid that is reasonably designed, easy to use, and easy to open is an urgent problem that those skilled in the art should solve.

The specific meanings of these terms in this invention can be understood by those skilled in the art depending on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Referring to Figures 1 to 7, the can lid according to an embodiment of the present invention is used to seal the mouth of the can body 10 and includes a lid body 1, a sealing connecting ring 2, and a sealing packing 3. The lid body 1 is an elongated case with an open top. The sealing connecting ring 2 is fixed to the bottom end of the lid body 1 and inserted into the can body 10. The sealing packing 3 is attached to the outer annular wall of the sealing connecting ring 2 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the can body 10 in a sealed state. One end of the lid body 1 is an engaging end, the bottom surface of which abuts against the edge of the can mouth, and the other end of the lid body 1 is a pressing end, the bottom surface of which is close to the pressing end is inclined away from the can body 10, thereby allowing the engaging end to be pried open from the can mouth by pressing the pressing end downward until its bottom inclined surface abuts against the edge of the can mouth.

[0024] In the can lid according to this invention, when sealing the mouth of the can body 10, the bottom surface of the engaging end abuts and adheres tightly to the edge of the can mouth, while the bottom surface of the pressing end does not contact the can mouth. When opening the mouth of the can body 10, the pressing end is pressed downward until the bottom slope of the lid body 1 abuts the edge of the can mouth, thereby lifting the engaging end, and the end of the seal packing 3 corresponding to the engaging end is folded upward from the can body 10, thereby opening the can mouth. This can lid can open the can mouth without requiring much force, based on the principle of leverage.

[0025] The lid body 1 of this device can be designed in rectangular, circular, square, rhombus, or other shapes to match the contour of the can opening, and this can lid can be applied to various everyday containers such as cans, bottles, and boxes.

[0026] Specifically, the angle between the bottom slope adjacent to the pressing end of the lid body 1 and the horizontal direction is α, and the magnitude of the angle α is 25° to 30°.

[0027] Specifically, the distance between the edge of the lid body 1 and the edge of the sealing connecting ring 2 is 1 cm to 1.5 cm.

[0028] In some specific examples, two annular limiting plates 21 are fixed to the outer wall of the sealing connecting ring 2, spaced apart vertically, and the inner ring of the sealing packing 3 is restrictedly engaged between the two annular limiting plates 21.

[0029] Since the seal packing 3 is removably attached to the outer wall of the sealing connecting ring 2 by two annular limiting plates 21, if the seal packing 3 is damaged or becomes severely worn and its sealing effect weakens, the seal packing 3 can be removed and replaced with a new one.

[0030] Specifically, the outer ring of the seal packing 3 transitions smoothly in an arc shape and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the can body 10 in a sealed state.

[0031] In some other specific examples, a can lid further includes a dispensing spoon 4 located inside a sealing connecting ring 2 and having engaging protrusions 41 fixed along both ends in the front-to-back direction, wherein two L-shaped engaging plates 11 corresponding to the engaging protrusions 41 are fixed to the bottom of the lid body 1, and each engaging protrusion 41 is restrictedly engaged within the corresponding L-shaped engaging plate 11.

[0032] The scooping spoon 4 is detachably connected to the bottom of the lid body 1 by engaging protrusions 41 and L-shaped engaging plates 11, and can be quickly removed by moving along a direction perpendicular to the length of the scooping spoon 4, and is used to scoop out material from the can body 10.

[0033] Specifically, a horizontally positioned mounting base 5 is fixed to the upper end of the lid body 1, and the mounting base 5 can support other can bodies 10.

[0034] By using the mounting base 5, it is possible to stack multiple can bodies 10, each with a can lid attached, from bottom to top.

[0035] Based on the above description of the disclosed embodiments, those skilled in the art can implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein are applicable to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments shown herein, and the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein should be recognized.
