Definitions

  • the invention refers to the field of packaging of drinks in cans such as are widely used.
  • Said cans normally comprise a substantially cylindrical body, closed at the bottom, and a top can end with opening means, which generally consist in a portion delimited by a weakening line or score line, together with a pull-ring.
  • the delimited portion is broken by the user along the weakening line and rotated, around a hinge line, to the inside of said can.
  • Objections have recently been made to this type of opening, in that it does not ensure sufficient hygiene.
  • the delimited portion before being turned to the inside, is normally exposed to contact and possibly to dust and contaminants from the environment in which the can is stored.
  • a hygienic drink can lid of plastic material comprising a lid base and side coupling means so as to be able to be clipped over the top can end to protect it from any dirt. Moreover said lid can be used to protect the contents of the can, after opening thereof.
  • cans it has been noted that there is difficulty in drinking from the can when a glass is not available.
  • cans are often used in circumstances in which a glass is not available. It is possible to use a straw brought or provided separately from the can, but often the straw is not available.
  • An object of this invention is to facilitate consumption of a drink contained in a can.
  • Another object is to achieve this in complete observance of hygiene standards.
  • a new lid preferably of plastic material, comprises a lid base, a side wall and an elastic coupling edge and has on its inner side engagement means for retaining a straw; it preferably has a folded straw removably retained on the inside wall thereof.
  • the straw is of the plastic type comprising flexible wall portions with bellows folds.
  • the wall portions and, consequently, the shape that the straw can assume inside the lid, can be several, for example circular or S-shaped.
  • the straw can be fitted inside the lid in any suitable manner.
  • Figure 1 is a view ofthe inner side of a lid according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is sectional view along a plane denoted by 2-2 in Figure 1 and illustrates the lid fitted to a can, drawn with a dotted line;

  • Figure 4 is a side view ofthe lid straw, in its straightened, extended form
  • Figure 5 is a view of a variant ofthe lid, seen from the inner side thereof;
  • Figure 6 is a section along the plane denoted by 6-6 in Figure 5; the lid is illustrated fitted to a can, drawn with a dashed line;
  • Figure 7 illustrates the lid straw of Figure 5, in its straightened, retracted condition
  • Figure 8 illustrates the lid straw of figure 5, in its straightened, extended condition.
  • a lid according to the invention is designated with reference numeral 10.
  • the lid 10 comprises a lid base 12, generally circular in shape, from which extends a side wall 14 which ends in a per se known relatively elastic gripping edge 16, for fitting on an upper rim of the top of a can L.
  • the lid 12 further comprises engagement means referenced 18 as a whole, for a straw or the like.
