Publication number: 20240109685Abstract: A can lid includes at least one lid panel having at least one pouring opening, an actuating element disposed on an upper side of the lid panel, and a closure element disposed on a lower side of the lid panel. The closure element is fastened to the actuating element by a connection and is movable by the actuating element between a closed position, in which the closure element closes the pouring opening in a liquid-tight or gas-tight manner, and an open position, in which the pouring opening is at least partially uncovered. At least one protrusion is defined in the lid panel facing the closure element, and an air channel is formed between the closure element and the lid panel by a deflection of at least a section of the closure element at the protrusion, when the closure element is being moved towards or is in the open position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Christian Schandl, Alois Bühler

Patent number: 11884445Abstract: A closure system for a beverage container includes a lid with upper and lower sides, a drinking orifice, a closure member for closing the drinking orifice, and an operating member for manually opening the drinking orifice by a user. The closure member is positioned at the lower side of the lid and fixedly connected with the operating member on the upper side of the lid, the closure member configured to overlap the drinking orifice in a closed position. A movement of the operating member in a first direction along a first axis substantially parallel to the upper side of the lid causes movement of the closure member from the closed position and opening of the drinking orifice, and a movement of the operating member along the first axis in a second direction causes movement of the closure member into the closed position and reclosure of the drinking orifice.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: RE-LID ENGINEERING AGInventors: Alois Bühler, Christian Schandl

Patent number: 11884449Abstract: A can lid for a can includes a lid panel with a pouring opening, an actuating element on an upper side of the lid panel, and a closure element disposed on a lower side of the lid panel which faces an interior of the can with the can lid attached thereto. The closure element is shiftable between a closed position, in which the closure element closes the pouring opening in a liquid-tight and/or gas-tight manner, and an open position, in which the pouring opening is at least partially uncovered, along the lid panel substantially translationally in a guided manner by the actuating element. The closure element and the actuating element are made of a metallic material and are fastened to one another by a riveted connection and/or a welded connection that moves along a guide slot in the lid panel during shifting of the closure element.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: RE-LID ENGINEERING AGInventors: Christian Schandl, Alois Bühler
