Split can for beverages

Abstract

The Split Can for Beverages is an advancement of the 12 ounce (oz.) beverage can having increased measurements throughout the entire can to satisfy primary improvements (additions) made to: (a) the top of the can and, (b) the interior center of the can. The Split Can for Beverages obtains on its top two smaller pull tabs positioned back to back (mirror images) as a thin piece (layer) of aluminum placed vertically in it's interior center forming a split. The Split Can for Beverages is a single aluminum can able to contain beverage products in a double embodiment having two sides (left and right) that are independent of each other functioning as two self-ruling usable single cans. In addition, because the Split Can for Beverages has two independent sides with their own set of opening mechanisms (pull tab, aluminum flap and opening) it maintains two different products comfortably, their brand names and designs. Whichever two different soft drink combinations or two different hard drink combinations, the Split Can for Beverages is able to be utilized while consumers maximize their taste buds by having two of their favorite drinks in one beverage can.

1 . A new aluminum beverage can design based on the concept of the 12 ounce (oz.) aluminum beverage can having increased measurements to satisfy the primary improvements (additions) made to: (a) the top of the can and, (b) the interior center of the can. 
 A can split through the center by a thin piece (layer) of aluminum dividing the can which creates two independent functioning sides, left side and right side of the can capsulated in one embodiment: two cans or two sides all in one embodiment.    Each side, left side and right side, functions and reflect a single can embodying different beverages in their interior body spaces and on each side's top, mechanisms to obtain their contents for consumption: pull tab, aluminum flap and opening.    The meaning “Split,” is defined as: a) to divide from end to end or along the grain by or as if by a sharp blow, b) to break, burst, or rip apart with force, c) to affect with force in a way that suggests tearing apart, d) to separate (people or groups, for example); disunite, e) to depart from; leave, f) to become broken or ripped apart.

Similarities are as follows: (a) Isomers: different compounds with same molecular formula. {The Split Can for Beverages: two different sides/parts (left and right) with the same structural makeup}. (b) Stereoisomers: isomers that have the same connectivity but that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space. {The Split Can for Beverages: two different sides/parts (left and right) with the same structural makeup but the two sides/parts differ in the arrangement of their components in space}. (c) Enantiomers: stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other. The Split Can for Beverages: two different sides/parts (left and right) with the same structural makeup but that differ in the arrangement of their components in space where the two sides/parts are mirror images of each other.

The left side/part is not superposable on its mirror image (the right side/part) and the right side/part is not superposable in its mirror image (the left side/part).

The sides/parts of the Split Can possess handiness. [Reference: Organic Chemistry, Fifth Edition, T. W.

In biology, “occasionally, the cells of the two-cell embryo may separate and each cell may develop into a complete organism. Alternately, the inner cell mass may subdivide to form two independent groups of cells, each of which develops independently. Since these cells have identical sets of genes, the individuals formed are exactly alike—identical twins. Very rarely, the two inner cell masses are not completely separated and give rise to conjoined—siamese twins.” [Reference: Biology Second Edition, Claude A. Villee, Eldra Pearl Solomon, Charles E. Martin, Diana W. Martin, Linda R. Berg, P.

In a split, also called a split up, the share price declines. If a stock at $100 par value splits 2-for-1, the number of authorized shares doubles (for example, from 10 million to 20 million) and the price per share drops by half, to $50. A holder of 50 shares before the split now has 100 shares at the lower price. If the same stock splits 4-for-1, the number of shares quadruples to 40 million and the share price falls to $25. Dividends per share also fall proportionately. Directors of a corporation will authorize a split to make ownership more affordable to a broader base of investors. Where stock splits require an increase in AUTHORIZED SHARES and/or a change in PAR VALUE of the stock, shareholders must approve an amendment of the corporate charter.
