  • Publication number: 20040195240
    Abstract: An invention that raises the tops of beverage cans at an angle that makes the drinking process easier, cleaner, more practical and safer (as in the case of drinking a soft drink while driving an automobile) in which one end of the can top that contains the scored oval opening is raised above the rim top of the can in a slanting wedge or circular shape that slants down to the opposite side allowing the can to be raised to a higher degree angle where it does not come in contact with the nose of the person drinking and reduces the angle the head is tipped backward as the drink is being consumed. Also the new top is raised in just the right amount so that it will fit into the concave bottom of an existing can without making contact, thus allowing for the stacking of cans on top of cans in six pack units. For twelve pack or larger packs, the invention includes spacers that allow for stacking packages on top of packages.
