Definitions

This invention refers to a laminar cover for cans or metal containers for drinks, where the upper end includes an opening device that generally consists of ring-pull that breaks a fin so that when the can is opened, the said fin is bent inside the can.
the main function of the cover included in this invention is to maintain the entire surface area occupied by the can opening device and the surrounding area insulated from any external agent, for which purpose it covers the upper end of the said can and preferably all those parts that could come into contact with the actual contents of the can when it is consumed, whether directly from the metal container or by pouring the contents into a glass.
the cover of this invention also has the property of being recyclable together with the actual can because it is fitted with the means for maintaining it joined to the actual metal container or can after being removed from the end so that it does not cause any difficulty in consuming the drink or pouring it into a glass or similar utensil.
Cans containing drinks have a problem whereby the upper end containing the cited opening device and the ring-pull are exposed to all types of dirt, which easily accumulates next to the small edge that surrounds the upper end, with particles of the said dirt or dust being deposited both above and underneath the ring-pull and on the fin that is torn open when the ring is pulled. All this means that the said accumulated particles around the upper end of the can are able to come into direct contact with the user during consumption or enter the drink.
Utility model No 9503009 describes a protective and/or opening device for cans containing drinks consisting of a laminar stuck to the upper end covering a minimum of the area where the can ring pull and tearable fin are located and fitted with an adhesive tab that projects out from the general outline to form a pulling device.
Utility model No 200000930 describes protective cover that is similar to that of the previous model, comprising a thin, moulded, impermeable lamina that completely covers the upper end of the can, but does not have a pull-tab for opening.
utility model No 200101910 refers to a hygienic protective cover for cans containing drinks that consists of a supplementary cover adapted to the upper end of the can, integrating a perimeter lip that established a hermetic seal with the can to prevent direct contact of the user with any external agent that may have been deposited on the said base and the supplementary cover has a small projection on its periphery that facilitates its opening.
This invention provides a solution to this latest problem, since the protection cover it consists of also includes the means that make it feasible, once the can has been opened, for it to be joined to container body, on one side and then be recycled together with it.
the proposed laminar cover is of the type that comprises a laminar portion with a harmless adhesive coating on at least part of one of its faces, where the adhesive face is applied over the upper end of the can and is characterised because the said laminar portion continues in the form of a strip that is connected orthogonally to the central part of a band with an adhesive coating that is prepared to grip and remain firmly joined to a portion of the can's body, so that when the said cover is removed, doing so by gripping the said appendage, the said strip can rotate about its own plane and the cover is able to be stuck by its adhesive face to the body of the can.
the said strip is short and the cited band completely encircles the body of the can close to the said upper end fitted with the ring-pull opener.
the laminar cover of the invention comprises a plastic element that is resistant to pulling and tearing that is obtained from a single, die-cut sheet, in which can be seen a circular laminar portion 10, with adhesive on one of its faces that is intended to applied to the upper end 12 of a can 11, fitted with a pull-strip 13 and a peripheral lip 14, in which the said laminar portion 10 has a width and shape that completely covers the upper end 12 of the can and moulds itself to the concave shape of the said end 12 and also covers the lip 14 of the same.
the cited laminar portion 10 is orthogonally connected by a short strip 15 to the middle part of a band 16 that has an adhesive coating that is prepared to grip and remain firmly joined to a portion of the can's body ( Figures 2 to 4) so that when the said cover is removed, doing so by means of an appendage 17, without adhesive or with a very weak adhesive, the said pull-strip 15 can rotate (see Figure 4) about its own plane and the cover is able to be stuck by its adhesive face to the body of the can on its side wall.
the band 16 completely encircles the body of the can close to the said upper end fitted with the ring-pull opener 13.
the outer face of the cover can be printed with a publicity message or include the instructions for correct use of the same.
the laminar portion 10 could alternatively include a purchase receipt for promotions providing a solution for such a purpose, since cans do not normally have any detachable elements. For this reason, a weakened line 18 is included where strip 15 joins the laminar portion 10 that will permit this section to be separated from the rest.
