Pop Can Beak Spout Design

Abstract

The Pop Can Beak Spout Design provides a new way to open the pop can and create easily a sanitary spout for the user to drink with. The pop can lid has “beak”-shaped form, comprising the pull-ring portion in the front; the central “beak” portion in the middle to be converted as spout; and the “accordion” portion behind with wrinkled surface. When the user pulls up the ring to open the pop can, it will lift the scored area below the ring from the upper surface, then the central “beak” portion will be separated also from the top, if continuing to turn them backward, the “accordion” portion behind will be compressed and allows “beak” portion to be erected, after bending the pull-ring against the bottom of “beak” portion, a sanitary spout will be finally formed automatically with the inherent material of the pop can.

1 . The pop can lid has the pull-ring portion in the front, which allows easy grasping by the user, comprising:
 The pull-ring which heads outward to the peripheral rim of the pop can and is folded upward like a wing so that the user can have more space to insert the finger underneath to open the pop can;   The rectangle lame fixed on the upper surface by the rivet;   The half circle scored area on the upper surface below the ring, combined with concave groove along the score line to facilitate the opening.   
   
   
       2 . The pop can lid has the central “beak” portion in the middle, which allows building a safe and sanitary spout body, comprising:
 The main body (like “bird beak”) growing backwards in a gentle slope and stopped at the rear end with an arc border.   The bottom base sinking down backward below the top surface horizon with an adequate angle, so that the main body will not be too high on the top of pop can, and the rear end section will be more open to the inside of the pop can, which can make the opening course shorter and easier.   The concave grooves on both sides along with the score line to facilitate the opening.   
   
   
       3 . The pop can lid has the “accordion” portion at the back, which links to the pop can top surface, with its sphere surface transformed into “accordion”, i.e. wrinkled as latitudinal waves, allows to be easily compressed, therefore facilitating the opening.
