BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for beverages such as beer and soft drinks.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Cans are widely used as containers for beverages such as canned beer and canned coffee. Paper packs are also used as containers for milk and fruit juice. In many cases, beverages in these containers are purchased directly from vending machines and then drunk directly from the containers without being transferred to cups.

[0003]

[Problem to be solved by the present invention] The upper lid of canned beer or canned coffee is made so that the mouth can be easily opened. Cheap. In particular, when the remaining beverage is low, the bottom of the can is raised higher, and the upper lid is pressed against the nose. If you hit the part you are making up, the makeup of that part may fall off. For canned beverages, a so-called stained tub is used to open the spout, but the handle protrudes further above the top lid, so it is easier to hit the nose and glasses.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem and to provide a beverage container in which the container does not easily hit the nose or glasses during drinking.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a beverage container according to the present invention has a bottom plate, a side wall, an upper lid, and a spout provided on the upper lid. The mouth side is higher than the opposite side of the drinking mouth.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the beverage container of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0007]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a beverage container according to the present invention. This embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to cans such as canned beer and canned coffee. The beverage container 1 comprises a cylindrical side wall 3, a bottom plate 2 for sealing the bottom, and an upper lid 4 for sealing the upper part of the side wall 3. The can composed of the bottom plate 2, the side wall 3, and the top lid 4 is a steel can or an aluminum can often used as a beverage can, but can be a synthetic resin can used as a beer can. And these materials may be mixed. Further, the bottom plate 2 and the side wall 3 may be separate members or may be formed integrally.

The upper lid 4 is a substantially circular plate, and the drinking mouth 5 is opened when drinking. A cut 6 is formed in the shape of the spout 5 near the outer periphery of the upper lid portion, and a handle 7 is attached to a portion near the center of the circle inside the cut 6. The handle 7 forms a lever, and when the one end is pulled up by hand, the other end is lowered, the portion surrounded by the cut 6 is pushed to tear the cut 6, and the portion surrounded by the cut 6 is pushed into the can. Form a spout. In this method, the part (tab) that formed the drinking mouth during drinking does not separate from the can, and after drinking, it is discarded together with the can in a wastebasket, which is advantageous for collection and recycling. It is frequently used in

In the present invention, the upper lid is provided to be inclined with respect to the bottom plate. In this embodiment, the upper part of the side wall 3 has a shape obtained by cutting a cylinder obliquely. A drinking spout 5 is provided on the raised side of the upper lid 4.

FIG. 2 illustrates a state in which the beverage is consumed in the beverage container of the present embodiment. Open the mouth and place the mouth on the mouth in the same way as a normal canned beverage. Here, in a normal can, the upper lid is parallel to the bottom plate as shown by the broken line, and the upper lid hits the nose. However, in the beverage container of the present example, the upper lid is inclined so that the drinking side of the upper lid is higher than the opposite side of the drinking mouth as shown by the solid line, and the upper lid is nose-side on the opposite side of the drinking opening. Away from you. Therefore, the upper lid is less likely to hit the nose during drinking and is comfortable. If the inclination is a sufficient angle, the beverage will be less and the bottom plate will not hit the nose or glasses even if the bottom plate is lifted high. Therefore, there is no case where the makeup of the portion that comes into contact with the upper lid portion falls off.

In this embodiment, a method is used in which a soup is opened with a so-called stay-on tab, which is advantageous for collecting and recycling garbage. Do not hit your nose or glasses.

[0012]

Embodiment 2 FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the beverage container of the present invention. This embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, the side wall 3 has a constant height along the outer periphery of the cross section as in a normal can. However, as in the first embodiment, the upper lid portion 4 is inclined so that the drinking side is high and the other side is low. By inclining the upper lid 4 in this manner, it is possible to avoid hitting the tip of the nose during drinking. In this embodiment, there is an advantage that a plurality of beverage containers can be stacked since the height of the side wall 3 is constant.

[0013]

Third Embodiment FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the beverage container of the present invention. This embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to a paper pack of milk or fruit juice, for example. The beverage container 1 includes a rectangular column-shaped side wall 3, a bottom plate 2 for sealing the bottom, and an upper lid 4 for sealing the upper part of the side wall 3. The paper pack composed of the bottom plate 2, the side wall 3, and the top cover 4 is made by folding and bonding one sheet of waterproofed paper.

The upper lid has a bonding portion 8 at the end of the paper constituting the paper pack. In this embodiment, the upper lid portion is provided so as to be inclined with respect to the bottom plate, and one end of the bonding portion 8 is raised as shown in FIG. So low. At the time of drinking, the end on the high side of the bonding portion 8 is opened to form the drinking mouth 5. Although the mouth is put on the mouthpiece 5 for drinking, the other end side of the bonding portion 8 is low, so that this portion does not hit the nose or glasses during drinking and is comfortable. Since the present embodiment is a paper pack, the paper can be cut and bonded relatively freely, so that it can be manufactured as easily as a conventional paper pack.

[0015]

[Effect of the Invention] The beverage container of the present invention has a sloped upper lid, and the drinking side is higher and the other end is lower, so that the upper lid does not hit the nose or glasses during drinking, so it is comfortable. . Also, it is possible to prevent the makeup of the portion that comes into contact with the top cover from falling off.
