Patent ID: 11299319

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a top lid for beverage cans, with an opener built into a hygienic cover. The hygienic cover is designed to cover the area around the opening part defined in the top lid, thereby protecting the contact portion of the lip of the top lid from atmospheric impurities and keeping the can clean during storage. The hygienic cover also has an opening system that presses on the opening part of the lid and breaks the part along the recessed seam when the cover is levered. The opening system has a reinforcement notch that improves the rigidity of the opening system, such that the opening system reliably breaks the opening part of the lid without failure, even if a high pressure is acting on the inner surface of the opening part. The configuration and arrangement of the notch in the opening system can be changed freely according to the design conditions of the can, or the internal pressure acting on the opening part and the size of the can. The hygienic cover also includes a handle that can be operated by the user with the fingers in order to lift same. This handle makes it easy for a user to grip and handle the cover while lifting said cover in order to open the top lid of the beverage can.
