Definitions
- the can object of this patent is of the type that comprises in its upper base an opening device determined by a weakened area that is opened by pressure, whose pressure is provided by a plate fixed on said base and which is manually operated.
- the indicated insert is fixed in juxtaposed arrangement on the base which makes it difficult for the user to grasp the fingers since there is no space between the insert and the upper face of the base.
- This grabbing operation must be carried out practically by putting the nails below the lateral edges of the insert, so that people with very hurried nails should resort to the use of an appropriate tool to insert it under the insert and lift it by doing lever since with the fingertips it is very difficult to get said grip.
- This recess is advantageously achieved by means of a drawing that can be achieved with the same matrix as by pressing said upper can base. This recessing determines a transverse inflection at the upper base of the can by which its consistency is markedly improved.
- the actuator insert is provided, in the part where the inflected area of whose insert is inserted into the recess of the upper base of the can must be grasped, a first downward and then upward inflection towards its free end edge.
- This inflection determines an oblique surface at the free end edge of the drive plate that allows it to be grasped and supported under it by For example, the thumb, determining greater safety in the upward manual action of pushing to said edge to open the can almost effortlessly.
- This improvement also allows reducing the size of the drive insert, mainly in regard to its length, which represents a reduction in the raw material that somewhat lowers the cost of its manufacture.
- Another advantage obtained is determined by the stability that is achieved in the correct diametral arrangement of the drive insert, thus ensuring adequate pressure thereof at the point provided in the weakened area to initiate the opening of the can.
- a lower concave transverse curvature is practiced in which the fingertip will be perfectly adapted in the opening action, thus eliminating that the manual action should be done against a flat area with a small edge thickness that can disturb when acting and press against it with your finger.
- Figures 1 and 2 represent, respectively in plan and in cross-section along line II-II of figure 1, the upper part of a conventional can
- Figures 3 and 4 illustrate, respectively in plan and in section raised by the line IN-IV of figure 3
- figure 5 represents in plan the can provided with the new drive plate
- figure 6 indicates the upper part of the can in section raised according to section VI-NI of Figure 5
- Figure 7 illustrates in plan the can with the end of the drive insert curved transversely
- Figure 8 is a view of the top of the can in section raised according to section VIII-VIII of Figure 7.
- This drawing -6- transversely determines in the upper base -4'- an inflection -7- that constitutes a reinforcement rib that significantly improves the consistency of said base. If desired, the space provided by the indicated drawing can even be extended, providing that the end of the part -2 'a- of the insert -2' - has a slight bent upwards -2'b- represented in strokes in figure 4. Given the little variation in height presented by this slight folding of the insert -2 '- it does not represent any obstacle in the stacking of these cans.
- This inflected part represents a great improvement in the process of opening the cans since it determines at the free end edge -2 'a- an oblique surface -12- that allows to grasp and support the fingers under it, for example the thumb .
- the ascending part -11- of the inflection of the free end of this insert is provided with a transverse curvature of concavity -13- lower, said concavity allowing the perfect support of the fingertip in the manual pushing action of said insert for opening the can.
