  • Patent number: 6637616
    Abstract: A NOZZLE ADAPTED TO BE COUPLED TO A CAN CONTAINING A BEVERAGE, characterized by presenting arrangements of improvement to a nozzle for the ingestion of canned liquids in general, moldable to cans containing liquids to be ingested by means of snap-on (1) under pressure. There exists in panel (2) an aperture in a new half-moon shape (3), and the creation of two small apertures (6) to allow air into the can. There is also a new downgrading and hollowed area to direct the liquid back into aperture (3), and a new snap-on by pressure chamfered device (1.1) in channel (1) for coupling the nozzle to the can. There is a labial spout (7) provided in its internal lower base with two coupling devices, device (7.3) and device (7.4). The spout is designed as two semiarches (7.1 and 7.2), with a shape coinciding precisely with the profile of the top end of the can, destined to couple the nozzle to the can in an inverted position.
