Can for beverages and/or food

Abstract

The present invention relates to a can for beverages and/or food wherein the cans are made up of a cylindrical body (1) that has a base (2) at one end and a lid (3) at the other end, wherein the cylindrical body (1) has a plurality of coupling elements (4) on its perimeter for joining one can to another, where in a preferred embodiment the coupling elements (4) are recesses (4.1) and protrusions (4.2) that fit together. Thanks to the design of the cans, the use of plastics as well as other materials for the grouped arrangement of the cans is avoided. Preferably, the protrusions (4.2) have a widening at their end that is the same as the recesses (4.1), which have a widening in their internal portion. This will allow the joint to be stronger and not separate even if the cans are lifted.

1 . A can for beverages and/or food, of those made up of a cylindrical body ( 1 ) that has a base ( 2 ) at one end and a lid ( 3 ) at the other end, characterized in that the cylindrical body ( 1 ) has a plurality of coupling elements ( 4 ) on its perimeter for joining one can to another. 
     
     
         2 . The can for beverages and/or food, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the coupling elements ( 4 ) are recesses ( 4 . 1 ) and protrusions ( 4 . 2 ) that fit together. 
     
     
         3 . The can for beverages and/or food, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that there is a single row of coupling elements ( 4 ). 
     
     
         4 . The can for beverages and/or food, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that there are two rows of coupling elements ( 4 ), one located in the upper half of the cylindrical body and another row located in the lower half of the cylindrical body. 
     
     
         5 . The can for beverages and/or food, according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the recesses ( 4 . 1 ) and protrusions ( 4 . 2 ) are located every 90 degrees and the recesses ( 4 . 1 ) and protrusions ( 4 . 2 ) are placed alternately. 
     
     
         6 . The can for beverages and/or food, according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the recesses ( 4 . 1 ) and protrusions ( 4 . 2 ) are located every 90 degrees and two recesses ( 4 . 1 ) are located followed by two protrusions ( 4 . 2 ), each of them at 90 degrees with respect to the previous one. 
     
     
         7 . The can for beverages and/or food, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the protrusions ( 4 . 2 ) have a widening at their end and the recesses ( 4 . 1 ) have a widening in their internal portion.
