Description

  The present invention relates to a pull-top can that contains a liquid and a solid at the same time, and can first drink the liquid and then completely eat the remaining solid.

  Conventional pull-top cans contain liquids such as coffee and juice, have a partially open incision line and a partially open pull tab to cut along the line, mainly solids such as salmon and tuna The one containing the incision line had a fully open incision line and a fully open pull tab for cutting along the line.

  In recent years, for example, corn soup with corn grains, peas with peas, or mandarin juice with pulp, which contains liquid and solid at the same time, it can not be clearly distinguished whether it should be called drink or food There are also many on the market. Such corn soup with corn grains and peas with red beans are usually treated as a liquid, and, like coffee and juice, a partially opened incision line and a partially opened pull tab for cutting along the line. Is used.

  However, corn soup with corn grains and peanuts with red bean grains are not a problem when drinking liquids like coffee and juice, etc. In addition, the remaining solids have a small opening area, and it is not possible to pick up the contents with chopsticks or scoop them with a spoon. However, there was no means to eat other than forcing the solids into the mouth by forcing the can upside down and hitting the sides, and even so, the solids could not be completely dropped into the mouth .

  On the other hand, corn soup with corn grains and peas with red beans, etc., as well as salmon cans and tuna cans, can be considered as a fully open incision line and a fully open pull tab for cutting along the line. However, when the opening area is large, liquid easily spills from the side of the mouth, which is inconvenient.

  The present invention is for solving the above-mentioned problems, and the object of the present invention is a can in which a liquid and a solid are simultaneously stored. First, the can is opened small and left after drinking and drinking. The object is to provide a pull-top can that can be completely opened by opening a solid material.

  In order to achieve the above object, a pull-top can according to the present invention includes a fully open incision line, a fully open pull tab for cutting along the line, and a partially open incision line and the line. It is characterized by providing a partially open pull tab for cutting the lid along the double, opening it small when drinking liquid, and opening the solid matter remaining after drinking liquid to open and eat did.

  The pull-top can according to the invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that the fully-open pull tab is hidden under the partially-open pull tab, and if the liquid mouth is not opened by opening the partially-open pull tab, the fully-open pull-tab can be fully opened. The pull tab was opened so that the solid mouth could not be opened.

  Furthermore, the pull-top can according to the invention of claim 3 is characterized in that the can body is provided with a device for picking up or scooping off the solid matter, and the solid matter remaining after drinking the liquid Was configured to be eaten immediately.

  According to the present invention, when drinking only a liquid, it is opened small so that it is difficult to spill from the side of the mouth, and when eating solid matter remaining after drinking the liquid, it is greatly opened to make it easy to eat. .

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the fully opened pull tab cannot be opened unless the partially opened pull tab is opened, first, the liquid is opened and opened until the solid food remaining after drinking. It has an excellent effect that can be gradually expanded.

  Furthermore, according to the invention described in claim 3, the solid matter remaining after drinking the liquid has an excellent effect that it can be completely eaten using the equipment provided.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing an upper lid portion of the can of the present application, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the upper lid portion of the can of the present application, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view when a partially opened pull tab is opened. FIG. 4 is a perspective view when a fully opened pull tab is opened.

  The can 1 of this application is provided with a fully open incision line 4 and a fully open pull tab 5 for cutting along the incision line 4 on the upper lid 3 of the can body 2, and a partially open incision line 6 and its incision line. 6 is provided with a partially open pull tab 7 for opening along the line 6. That is, the fully open pull tab 5 and the partially open pull tab 7 are provided in double on the upper lid 3 of one can body 2.

  The can body 2 is formed in a cylindrical shape by the upper lid 3, the side surface (body) 8, and the lower lid 9, for example, corn soup containing corn grains, peanut-containing urine, mandarin orange juice, mango with pulp It constitutes a sealed container in which a liquid and a solid such as juice are simultaneously stored. Of course, the combination of the liquid and the solid is not limited to the above example, and is arbitrary.

  The fully open incision line 4 formed in the upper lid 3 of the can body 2 is provided with a V-groove that does not become deeper than the thickness of the upper lid 3 along the lid edge 3 '. The fully opened pull tab 5 for cutting along the incision line 4 positions the heel end 5a so as to point to one point of the incision line 4 and fastens it to the upper lid 3 with the rivet 5b. It corresponds to the dent 3 ″ and floats easily with fingers.

  The partial opening incision line 6 is provided in an approximately elliptical shape near one side of the lid edge 3 '. Also in this case, the partially opened pull tab 7 positions the heel end 7a so as to point to one point in the substantially central region of the incision line 6, and fastens the thin piece 7a 'extending from the back surface of the heel end 7a to the upper lid 3 with the heel 7b. The knob portion 7c is floated so as to overlap the knob portion 5c of the fully open pull tab 5 so that it can be easily picked with fingers. In other words, the fully opened pull tab 5 is hidden under the partially opened pull tab 7. Of course, the partially opened pull tab 7 can rotate the knob portion 7c in the horizontal direction around the flange 7b. Therefore, unless the partially opened pull tab 7 is always opened, the fully opened pull tab 5 cannot be opened. However, if the area of the upper lid 3 is large, it is possible to prevent the fully open pull tab 5 and the partially open pull tab 7 from overlapping each other.

  The fully open incision line 4 provided in a circle along the lid edge 3 'of the upper lid 3 is not endless. That is, both ends 4 'and 4' of the incision line 4 are not connected. This is for the operation of opening the fully opened pull tab 5 so that the cut piece 4 "surrounded by the incision line 4 is not completely separated from the upper lid 3. Of course, the incision line 4 for full opening is provided in a circular endless manner (not shown). The cut piece 4 ″ surrounded by the incision line 4 may be completely separated from the upper lid 3. Further, in the case of the incision line 6 for partial opening, even if the cut piece 6 ′ surrounded by the incision line 6 is not completely separated from the upper lid 3 by the opening operation of the partial opening pull tab 7, it is configured to be completely separated. May be.

  On the side surface 8 of the can body 2, a spoon 10 is put in a transparent bag 11 and fastened. The spoon 10 breaks the transparent bag 11 and takes it out when the solid matter remaining after drinking the liquid is eaten from the wide opening. What is accommodated in the transparent bag 11 is not limited to the spoon 10, and may be anything such as chopsticks, skewers, forks, and tweezers as long as it is effective for eating other solids.

  Next, the operation of the present can 1 will be described. First, when the partially opened pull tab 7 that is overlaid is raised with the hook 7b as a fulcrum by picking the knob 7c, the hook end 7a is concentrated at one point in the substantially central region of the incision line 6 by the action of the lever. Therefore, the cut piece 6 'is bent downward by being broken (cut) from the incision line 6. It is possible to drink a liquid portion such as corn soup containing corn grains, urine containing red beans, mandarin juice containing pulp, or mango juice containing pulp from the opening 12 formed in the upper lid 3 by bending the cut piece 6 '.

  Next, in order to eat corn grains, red bean grains, and pulp remaining in the can body 2 after drinking the liquid, when the fully opened pull tab 5 is picked up and the raised portion 5c is picked up, the heel end 5a becomes the cocoon Since it rotates downward together with 5b and pushes one point on the incision line 4 intensively downward, the incision line 4 is broken (cut) and partially opened. Thereafter, when the knob portion 5c is further pulled upward, the portion surrounded by the incision line 4 is opened from the upper lid 3, and a large opening 13 is formed. As a result, solids such as corn grains, red bean grains, and pulp remaining in the can body 2 can be eaten using the provided spoon 10 or using a nearby spoon.

  The can 1 of this application can be opened first to drink a liquid, open a solid that remains after drinking the liquid and complete a meal, and can be used for everything that can contain liquid and solid at the same time. It can be applied and has great industrial applicability.

It is a perspective view which shows the upper cover part of this application can roughly. It is sectional drawing which shows schematically the upper cover part of this application can. It is a perspective view at the time of opening a partially open pull tab. It is a perspective view at the time of opening a fully open pull tab.
