- Beverage cans are used in large numbers, especially for beer, Mineral waters and lemonades are used. Your visual design is essential to the success with which they are distributed. In recent years it has become common to use the cans to paint striking decorations, their design and implementation is very expensive. But it is becoming increasingly necessary, too to produce smaller series that advertise a specific one Should appeal to the fashion trend or as a limited edition are provided and advertised.
- the object of the present invention is therefore, beverage cans with an additional surface on which the corresponding optical messages can be conveyed, without changing the decor of the can body for this would.
- This task is accomplished by providing a beverage can loosened with a ruff.
- the side wall of the beverage cans for the present Invention are suitable is in their upper part drawn in a truncated cone. Such cans are widely used.
- This part of the can body is usually called a "neck” designated.
- the cans generally consist of a thin one Sheet metal, for example made of aluminum or steel.
- the however, the present invention is not for cans limited to certain materials.
- Beverage cans are used today usually made in two or three parts and have a usually tear-open lid, which on the upper End of the side wall of the can body is crimped.
- the Can section, which is formed by the "neck” is therefore delimited at the upper end by the flanged edge, which due to the folded material from the side wall and lid opposite the Surface of the "neck” forms a projection.
- the ruff according to the invention extends over at least part of the "neck" Area of the can, so that it is a complete Ring forms.
- This all-round frill does not consist of one or only slightly stretchable, at least in one place slightly tearable, preferably easily tearable overall Material. It has an upper inner diameter, which is smaller than the outside diameter of the flange edge with which the Lid is crimped on the can body. It will in their place below the bead on the "neck” held.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung liegt auf dem Gebiet der Getränkedosen. Mit ihr werden Getränkedosen mit einem die Verpackung ergänzenden Material versehen, das als Werbeträger, Blickfang oder zu ästhetischen Zwecken benutzt werden kann.The present invention is in the field of Beverage cans. With it, beverage cans become one with the Provide packaging material that serves as an advertising medium, Eye catcher or can be used for aesthetic purposes.
Getränkedosen werden in hoher Stückzahl insbesondere für Bier, Mineralwässer und Limonaden eingesetzt. Ihre optische Gestaltung ist wesentlich für den Erfolg, mit dem sie vertrieben werden. In den letzten Jahren ist es üblich geworden, die Dosen mit auffälligen Dekors zu lackieren, deren Entwurf und Realisierung sehr aufwendig ist. Es wird aber zunehmend notwendig, auch kleinere Serien zu produzieren, die werbemäßig einen bestimmten modischen Trend ansprechen sollen oder als limitierte Auflage vorgesehen sind und beworben werden.Beverage cans are used in large numbers, especially for beer, Mineral waters and lemonades are used. Your visual design is essential to the success with which they are distributed. In In recent years it has become common to use the cans to paint striking decorations, their design and implementation is very expensive. But it is becoming increasingly necessary, too to produce smaller series that advertise a specific one Should appeal to the fashion trend or as a limited edition are provided and advertised.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, Getränkedosen mit zusätzlicher Oberfläche bereitzustellen, auf der die entsprechenden optischen Botschaften vermittelt werden können, ohne daß das Dekor des Dosenkörpers hierfür geändert werden müßte.The object of the present invention is therefore, beverage cans with an additional surface on which the corresponding optical messages can be conveyed, without changing the decor of the can body for this would.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Bereitstellung einer Getränkedose mit einer Halskrause gelöst.This task is accomplished by providing a beverage can loosened with a ruff.
Der Ausdruck "Halskrause" ist, wie sich auch aus dem nachstehenden Text und den Figuren ergibt, nicht auf Gegenstände in des Wortes ursprünglicher Bedeutung einer "gekrausten Gestalt" beschränkt, sondern unabhängig von gestalterischen Einzelheiten im heutigen Wortsinn als ein am bzw. um den Hals befindlicher Gegenstand definiert. Die Halskrause könnte z.B. auch als Halskragen oder Halsring bezeichnet werden.The expression "ruff" is, as is also evident from the the following text and figures does not apply to objects in the word's original meaning of a "crinkled Shape "limited, but independent of design Details in today's literal sense as one on or around the neck located object defined. The frill could e.g. also known as a neck collar or neck ring.
Die Seitenwand der Getränkedosen, die für die vorliegende Erfindung geeignet sind, ist in ihrem oberen Teil kegelstumpfförmig eingezogen. Solche Dosen sind weit verbreitet. Dieser Teil des Dosenkörpers wird üblicherweise als "neck" bezeichnet. Die Dosen bestehen im allgemeinen aus einem dünnen Metallblech, beispielsweise aus Aluminium oder Stahl. Die vorliegende Erfindung ist allerdings nicht auf Dosen aus bestimmten Materialien beschränkt. Getränkedosen werden heute üblicherweise in zwei- oder dreiteiliger Form hergestellt und weisen einen meist aufreißbaren Deckel auf, der auf das obere Ende der Seitenwand des Dosenkörpers aufgebördelt ist. Der Dosenabschnitt, der durch den "neck" gebildet wird, wird daher am oberen Ende durch den Bördelrand begrenzt, der aufgrund des gefalteten Materials von Seitenwand und Deckel gegenüber der Fläche des "neck" einen Vorsprung bildet.The side wall of the beverage cans for the present Invention are suitable is in their upper part drawn in a truncated cone. Such cans are widely used. This part of the can body is usually called a "neck" designated. The cans generally consist of a thin one Sheet metal, for example made of aluminum or steel. The however, the present invention is not for cans limited to certain materials. Beverage cans are used today usually made in two or three parts and have a usually tear-open lid, which on the upper End of the side wall of the can body is crimped. The Can section, which is formed by the "neck", is therefore delimited at the upper end by the flanged edge, which due to the folded material from the side wall and lid opposite the Surface of the "neck" forms a projection.
Da die vorliegende Erfindung sich auf die Form, nicht die Funktion einer solchen Dose bezieht, sollte klar sein, daß sie sich auch auf Dosen der beschriebenen Form bezieht, wenn diese für andere Zwecke als für die Abfüllung von Getränken verwendet werden.Since the present invention relates to the shape, not the Function of such a can, it should be clear that it also refers to cans of the form described, if these used for purposes other than bottling beverages become.
Die erfindungsgemäße Halskrause erstreckt sich über mindestens einen Teil des "neck", also des kegelstumpfförmig eingezogenen Bereiches der Dose, und zwar derart, daß sie einen vollständigen Ring bildet. Diese umlaufende Halskrause besteht aus einem nicht oder nur geringfügig dehnbaren, zumindest an einer Stelle leicht durchreißbaren, vorzugsweise insgesamt leicht reißbaren Material. Sie besitzt einen oberen Innendurchmesser, der kleiner als der Außendurchmesser des Bördelrandes ist, mit dem der Deckel auf dem Dosenkörper aufgebördelt ist. Dadurch wird sie auf ihrem Platz unterhalb des Bördelrandes auf dem "neck" gehalten.The ruff according to the invention extends over at least part of the "neck" Area of the can, so that it is a complete Ring forms. This all-round frill does not consist of one or only slightly stretchable, at least in one place slightly tearable, preferably easily tearable overall Material. It has an upper inner diameter, which is smaller than the outside diameter of the flange edge with which the Lid is crimped on the can body. It will in their place below the bead on the "neck" held.
Figur 1 zeigt schematisch eine erfindungsgemäße Halskrause auf dem Oberteil einer Getränkedose; Figur 2 zeigt eine vergrößerte Ansicht hiervon. In Figur 3 ist die Gestalt des Flachmaterials gezeigt, aus dem in einer wesentlichen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung die Halskrause geformt werden kann. Figure 1 shows schematically a neck brace according to the invention on the upper part of a beverage can; Figure 2 shows an enlarged view thereof. FIG. 3 shows the shape of the flat material from which the neck brace can be formed in an essential embodiment of the invention.
Die Halskrause besitzt häufig zumindest teilweise ein kegelstumpfförmiges Innenprofil. Dieses kann teilweise oder ganz der Geometrie des "neck" folgen, also den gleichen oder einen sehr ähnlichen Winkel zur Drehachse der Dose einnehmen. In solchen Fällen liegt die Halskrause mehr oder weniger flach auf dem "neck" auf. Sie kann dabei eine radialsymmetrische Form haben, muß dies aber nicht. So kann sie statt dessen beispielsweise wie ein Halstuch oder Kragen mit übereinander gelegten bzw. gekreuzten Enden gestaltet sein. Wenn die Halskrause nicht direkt auf der Dosenoberfläche aufsitzt, z.B. verklebt ist oder durch Reibkräfte gehalten wird, kann sie eine etwas größere lichte Weite besitzen als der Außendurchmesser der Dose in diesem Bereich beträgt. Wenn hierdurch etwas Spiel entsteht, kann sie um ihre Drehachse (die gleichzeitig die Drehachse der Dose ist) drehbar sein. Weil sie jedoch einen oberen Innendurchmesser besitzen soll, der geringer als der Außendurchmesser des Deckel-Bördelrandes ist (und damit auch kleiner ist als der Außendurchmesser des unteren Kegelstumpfbereichs des "neck"), ist sie gegen ein Verrutschen nach oben und nach unten geschützt und nur innerhalb eines relativ engen Bereichs beweglich. Wird die Halskrause flach und ohne großes Spiel auf dem "neck" aufsitzend ausgestaltet, ist es für einen Betrachter unmöglich, ihre der Dose zugewandte Seite und damit auf dieser Seite aufgebrachte Informationen einzusehen, ohne sie zu öffnen oder zu zerstören.The ruff often has at least partially one frustoconical inner profile. This can be partially or entirely follow the geometry of the "neck", ie the same or one take a very similar angle to the axis of rotation of the can. In In such cases, the cervical collar lies more or less flat the "neck" on. It can have a radially symmetrical shape but does not have to. So it can instead for example like a scarf or a collar with one another laid or crossed ends can be designed. If the Cervical collar does not sit directly on the surface of the can, e.g. is glued or held by frictional forces, it can be a have slightly larger clear width than the outer diameter of the Can in this area. If this makes some play arises, it can rotate around its axis of rotation (which is also the The axis of rotation of the can is rotatable. But because they have one should have an upper inner diameter that is less than that The outer diameter of the flanged rim is (and therefore also is smaller than the outer diameter of the lower one Truncated cone area of the "neck"), it is against slipping protected upwards and downwards and only within one relatively narrow range. The frill becomes flat and designed without much play sitting on the "neck", it is impossible for a viewer, their side facing the can and thus information on this page view without opening or destroying them.
Die Halskrause muß jedoch nicht flach auf dem "neck" aufliegen, sie kann statt dessen auch z.B. einen anderen, vorzugsweise größeren Winkel zur Drehachse der Dose besitzen als der "neck", was bewirkt, daß sie nach unten etwas vom Dosenrand absteht. Weiterhin kann sie z.B. mit Ein- oder Auswölbungen versehen sein oder Durchbrechungen aufweisen. Diesbezüglich sind der Ausgestaltung keine Grenzen gesetzt.However, the ruff does not have to lie flat on the "neck", instead it can e.g. another, preferably have a larger angle to the axis of rotation of the can than the "neck", which causes it to protrude slightly from the edge of the can. Furthermore, it can e.g. be provided with bulges or bulges or have openings. In this regard, the Design no limits.
Gegebenenfalls ist es möglich, die Halskrause auf der Oberfläche des "neck" zu fixieren, z.B. durch nur leichtes, z.B. punktförmiges Aufkleben, durch Adhäsion des Materials an der Dosenoberfläche oder durch magnetische Anziehung zwischen Dosenkörper und Halskrause.If necessary, it is possible to have the ruff on the surface of the neck, e.g. by only light, e.g. punctiform sticking, by adhesion of the material to the Can surface or by magnetic attraction between Can body and frill.
Die Wahl der Höhe für die Halskrause ist nicht kritisch; im allgemeinen wird es jedoch vorteilhaft sein, im wesentlichen die gesamte Fläche und damit Höhe des "neck" abzudecken, um eine möglichst große optisch gestaltbare Fläche zur Verfügung zu stellen. Je nach Dosengestalt kann die Höhe daher z.B. 0,5 bis 1,5 oder sogar 2,5 cm betragen. Es ist auch möglich, daß die Halskrause nach unten über den "neck" übersteht; dies dürfte jedoch häufig nicht sinnvoll sein, z.B. wenn sich hierdurch Stapelprobleme ergeben.The choice of the height for the cervical collar is not critical; in the in general, however, it will be essentially advantageous to cover the entire area and thus the height of the "neck" to a the largest possible optically configurable area put. Depending on the shape of the can, the height can e.g. 0.5 to 1.5 or even 2.5 cm. It is also possible that the Cervical collar protrudes down over the "neck"; this should but often does not make sense, e.g. if this affects Stack problems arise.
Der Winkel, den die Innenfläche der Halskrause in Relation zur Drehachse aufweist, ist ebenfalls nicht kritisch und wird im wesentlichen durch die Geometrie der Dose bestimmt, für die sie vorgesehen ist. Beispielsweise können Winkel im Bereich von etwa 20° bis 60° realisiert werden.The angle that the inside surface of the cervical collar is in relation to Has axis of rotation is also not critical and is in the essentially determined by the geometry of the can for which it is used is provided. For example, angles in the range of approximately 20 ° to 60 ° can be realized.
Das für die Halskrause zu wählende Material ist im Prinzip nicht beschränkt, sofern es nicht oder nur geringfügig dehnbar und zumindest an einer Stelle leicht durchreißbar oder insgesamt leicht reißbar ist. Unter "leicht reißbar" bzw. "leicht durchreißbar" soll dabei zu verstehen sein, daß man die Halskrause ohne Hilfsmittel, nur mit den Händen, unter Einsatz von wenig oder auch mehr oder viel Kraft durchreißen kann. Vorzugsweise wird ein Flachmaterial eingesetzt; dies ist jedoch nicht zwingend, da eine optische oder anderweitig sensorische Gestaltung auch auf anderem als Flachmaterial realisiert werden kann. Während ein Flachmaterial den Vorteil hat, vor der Verarbeitung als Flächenmaterial bedruckt, bemalt oder anders mit einer optischen Gestaltung versehen werden zu können, ist es in anderen Ausgestaltungen auch möglich, daß die äußere Oberfläche der Halskrause keine Ebene darstellt, sondern z.B. Prägungen oder Auswölbungen aufweist, die optisch oder mit dem Tastsinn wahrgenommen werden können.In principle, the material to be selected for the cervical collar is not limited if it is not or only slightly stretchable and easily tearable at least in one place or overall is easily tearable. Under "easily tearable" or "easy tearable "should be understood to mean that the Neck brace without aids, only with the hands, using can tear through little or even more or a lot of force. A flat material is preferably used; however, this is not mandatory, as an optical or otherwise sensory Design can also be realized on other than flat material can. While a flat material has the advantage over the Processing as surface material printed, painted or otherwise It can be provided with an optical design in other configurations also possible that the outer The surface of the cervical collar does not represent a plane, but e.g. Has embossing or bulges, which optically or with the Touch can be perceived.
Vorzugsweise wird als Material für die Halskrause Papier oder Pappe in beschichteter oder unbeschichteter Form gewählt. Dieses Material bietet sich bereits aus Kostengründen an. Weiterhin können Textilmaterialien eingesetzt werden, soweit diese leicht reißbar sind, oder andere Textilmaterialien mit mindestens einem senkrecht verlaufenden Streifen eines leicht reißbaren Materials, wie z.B. Papier. Je nach Verwendungszweck können auch eine Metallfolie oder ein Laminat zum Einsatz kommen. Diese Materialien können innen und/oder außen bedruckt oder anderweitig optisch gestaltet sein. Insbesondere soll es möglich sein, daß nur oder auch die Innenseite vom Publikum wahrgenommen werden soll, z.B. beim Anbringen von Informationen für ein Gewinnspiel. Deshalb sollte das Material auch leicht reißbar sein, vorzugsweise an einer z.B. durch eine Einkerbung vorgesehenen Stelle. Laminate bieten sich z.B. an, wenn Information für das Publikum zwischen den - trennbaren - Schichten verborgen werden soll. Aus diesem Grunde ist es auch besonders bevorzugt, daß die Halskrause nicht ohne Zerstörung geöffnet oder entfernt werden kann: Erst nach dem Kauf - aber dann in einfacher Weise - soll es dem Konsumenten möglich sein, die rückseitig oder zwischen den Schichten angeordneten Informationen (Werbung, Gewinnspiel) zur Kenntnis zu nehmen.Paper or is preferably used as the material for the cervical collar Cardboard selected in coated or uncoated form. This Material already lends itself for cost reasons. Farther Textile materials can be used as far as they are light are tearable, or other textile materials with at least one vertical stripes of an easily tearable Materials such as Paper. Depending on the intended use, you can also a metal foil or a laminate are used. This Materials can be printed on the inside and / or outside be otherwise optically designed. In particular, it should be possible be that only or even the inside is perceived by the audience should be, e.g. when attaching information for a Contest. Therefore, the material should also be easily tearable be, preferably on a e.g. through a notch designated place. Laminates are e.g. at if Information for the public between the - separable - Layers to be hidden. That's why it is particularly preferred that the ruff not without destruction can be opened or removed: only after purchase - but then in a simple way - should the consumer be able to those arranged on the back or between the layers To take note of information (advertising, competition).
Die Halskrause kann aus einem flächigen Material gefertigt werden, indem z.B. ein Teilstück eines Rings oder eine vergleichbare Form ausgeschnitten oder ausgestanzt o.ä. wird, wobei die Enden dieses Teilstücks anschließend miteinander verbunden werden, z.B. durch Übereinanderlegen und Verkleben oder Verschweißen. Die Verbindung der Teile kann vor oder beim Aufbringen auf den Dosen-"neck" erfolgen. Dabei ist es wichtig, daß die Verbindung der Enden des Teilstücks nicht reversibel ist, d.h. nicht ohne Zerstörung der Halskrause geöffnet werden kann. Denn es ist wie voranstehend erwähnt wünschenswert, dass die Halskrause nicht ohne Zerstörung vom "neck" der Dose entfernt werden kann. Günstig ist es deshalb, die Endstücke zu verkleben, und zwar möglichst über ihre gesamte Breite hinweg.The ruff can be made from a flat material e.g. a section of a ring or a comparable shape cut or punched out or similar becomes, the ends of this section then joining together be connected, e.g. by superimposing and gluing or welding. The connection of the parts can be done before or at Apply to the can "neck". It is important that the connection of the ends of the section is not reversible is, i.e. cannot be opened without destroying the cervical collar can. Because, as mentioned above, it is desirable that the ruff not without destroying the "neck" of the can can be removed. It is therefore favorable to close the end pieces glue, and if possible across their entire width.
Alternativ kann die Halskrause integral gefertigt werden, z.B. indem ein Ring eines geeigneten Materials so erzeugt wird, dass eine kegelstumpfförmige Gestalt entsteht. Eine bereits vor dem Aufbringen auf die Dose geschlossene oder eine integrale Halskrause kann in einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung leicht bzw. geringfügig, d.h. (nur) soweit dehnbar bzw. elastisch sein, daß sie über den Bördelrand der bereits verschlossenen Dose gestreift werden kann. Soll ein bereits geschlossener Ring aus einem nicht oder nicht ausreichend dehnbaren Material eingesetzt werden, wird die Halskrause auf den Dosenkörper aufgesetzt, bevor die Dose verschlossen wird.Alternatively, the cervical collar can be made integrally, e.g. by creating a ring of suitable material so that a frustoconical shape is created. One before Apply closed or integral to the can Neck ruff can easily or slight, i.e. (only) be stretchable or elastic so that them over the flanged edge of the already closed can can be touched. Should an already closed ring an inadequate or insufficiently stretchable material the neck brace is placed on the can body, before the can is closed.
