Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep the drink opening hygienic without direct touch with the periphery thereof, by providing a pushing metal at a tab of a drink can and pushing up it with a finger to open the can. CONSTITUTION:A pushing metal 1 is as small as 2.5cm square so as to fitly push up it with a thumb and provide with a recession at the center and further, a curved shape with the round edge. The pushing metal 1 is pushed up by the inside of a thumb to break the scored line 2 and open the can. In the case of a tab, the tab is removed and in the case of a staying tab thereon, the pushing metal is raised up to fully open the drinking opening and then pushed back to the original position to form the drinking opening. In this way, it is easily used even for a person having long fingernails. As the finger does not directly contact the periphery of drinking opening, it can be handled hygienically.

Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a tab is a normal tab that is opened by pulling it with a finger to form a drinking mouth, and a tab that is pulled up with a finger and then returned to its original position separates from the can. There was a so-called Steion tab that formed a mouth without it, but there was no tab that could be opened by pushing it up with a finger.

なされたものである。Conventionally, since both a normal tab and a Stein tab are opened by pulling with a finger, they cannot be used for a woman or a child with weak finger strength, or a person with a long nail. In addition, there was a problem in hygiene because the finger touched the immediate vicinity of the drinking mouth. The present invention has been made to eliminate these drawbacks.

タイプにも設けることができる。The present invention is most characterized in that a tab is provided with a pusher (1) and the tab is opened by pushing it up. The presser foot (1) has a size that fits in a 2.5 cm square so that it can be pushed up with the thumb, and it is desirable that the center part has a recessed shape. The desired shape is desirable. Further, in order to prevent the side surface of the can from being dented, it is desirable to make the upper side part inclined and to provide a pressing metal (1) on the inclined part. At that time, the inclination is 6 from the viewpoint of force efficiency.
It is desirable not to be less than 0 degrees. Pressed metal (1)
As described above, the size and shape suitable for pushing up with a finger, especially the thumb is desirable, but the size and shape are not particularly limited as long as they do not hinder the function as a can and its storage and transportation. Not something to give. In addition,
The presser foot (1) can be provided on both a normal tab type and a Steion tab type.

Since the point of action does not change and the force point is farther from the fulcrum than that of the conventional one, the lever principle allows the mouth to be formed with a smaller force, so that it can be easily used by women and children with weak finger strength. Furthermore, it is hygienic because the area around the drinking mouth is not touched directly by fingers.
