Description

EMBODIMENT

Utility model refers to appliances destined for separate storage of two components, at least one of which representing food product, in two individual containers.

In particular, utility model may be applied as a header on standard metal cans for drinks.

From the state of art the solution on the utility model No. 1137273 B65D51/28, 2011, is known, from which the header for a reservoir, namely a threaded bottle, is known; it is characterized by the fact that the header is configured in a form of a reservoir for storage of components, and s lid with the opening for the reservoir, herewith the collar for interaction of container with the bottle neck is made on the reservoir shell. The indicated art solution is selected as the closest analog.

The disadvantage of prior art solution is limited functional capabilities of usage of the appliance, as well as its low human factors.

Technical result of the patented solution is the enlargement of functional capabilities of the appliance with expansion of application and simultaneous increase of convenience in application.

The claimed technical result is achieved as follows.

According to the first embodiment the container lid for metal can contains a shell where an insert in a form of reservoir is placed, and a pot installed over the container is installed by means of releasable connection. On the bottom edge of the shell there is a joint ring. The shell is attached to the can by means of at least two locks installed on the external shell surface. There are additional fixture elements for the strap on the shell.

According to the second embodiment the container lid for metal can contains a shell in which the insert in a form of reservoir is placed. Inside the reservoir there is a sealed polyethylene cartridge. Over the reservoir a pot is installed by means of releasable connection. On the lower edge of the shell there is a joint ring. The shell is attached to the can by means of at least two locks installed on the external shell surface. There are additional fixture elements for the strap on the shell.

For both variants the following design is possible, when:

• • the shell has fluted surface;
  • the lock represents creepers enabled to connect with the flange;
  • the pot is connected with the shell by means of thread connection.

The technical solution is illustrated on FIG. 1-9.

FIG. 1-1, 1-2 shows assembled container lid on the can, general view, with opened and closed lock, correspondingly;

FIG. 2 shows container lid, general view.

FIG. 3-9 show particular embodiment of the appliance components.

On the shell (1) there is a reservoir (8); according to the second embodiment it is capable of placement of sealed polyethylene cartridge (3) with filler (biscuits, sweets, nuts, yogurts, etc.) in it. According to the first embodiment the reservoir (8) is destined for storage of toys, souvenirs, etc.

The reservoir (8) is tightly closed with the pot (2) by means of thread connection (4). On the shell (1) there are two locks (7) that tightly press the internal surface of the flange of the aluminum can with drink to the elastic joint ring (5) situated on the lower internal part of the shell (1) creating sufficient leak resistance and preventing leak of the drink when walking.

Also, there are two fixture elements (6) on the shell (1) that are required for attachment of adjustable plastic strap, and for convenient bearing of the can on the shoulder. On the bottom of the shell (1) there is a radial riffling in a form of ribbed surface (9) in order to exclude shell spinning in the hand during pot (2) twist-off. The pot (2) in this construction has dual purpose: it is a cover for the shell (1) and a reservoir in which the content of the drink metal can may be poured off. On the top of the pot (2) there is a knurling for its convenient twist-off. The cartridge (3) is made with the protection from deformation when pressed from above, during its filling into the reservoir (8). On the top of the cartridge (3) there is a flange (10) destined for leak-proof shut-off, for example, with polyethylene film or aluminum foil. The thread is used for connection of the shell (1) and the pot (2). The joint ring (5) is an integral part of the shell (1), and is used for pressure tight joint of the shell (1) and aluminum can. The area of the ring (5) that thrusts against the aluminum can is made with minimum thickness, for example, by means of pressure casting for maximum elasticity of the joint ring surface (5) and maximum firm adherence to the aluminum can. Correspondingly, by means of this joint ring (5) the shell (1) provides leak-proof closure for already opened aluminum can. The locks (7) are situated in the bottom part of the shell (1). Design of locks during their closure makes it possible not to deform already opened aluminum can, as when opened the can loses its rigidity and may be easily deformed with the drink pouring out. Locks (7) are connected with the shell (1) by means of thin neck. As the entire appliance is made of flexible plastics, this neck thickness allows multiple openings and closure of locks. Locks are closed by pressing on them with fingers. The entire effort of pressing is transmitted to the can flange, that is rigid enough. Also, forward movement of the can to the shell takes place during closure of locks due to the adherence of lock ledges to the can flange making possible the joint ring (5) to nestle tightly on the aluminum can, and to secure the drink from pouring out when walking. Fixing of locks on the shell (1) is performed by means of ledges (11). During lock latching (7) the ledges (11) come into special grooves on the shell (1) and are fixed tightly. Locks are opened with finger tips by prying them up on technological caves in the lock end face.

The proposed technical solution allows extension of functional capabilities of the good and is capable to satisfy consumer demands to the goods of this class.
