Embodiment 1

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the present embodiment provides a beverage container. The beverage container comprises a container body 1 and a floating object 2 for reducing the sloshing amplitude of the beverage. The container body 1 is a metal can or a carton beverage box. The floating object 2 is set in the container body 1 and floats on the surface of the beverage in the container body 1. The floating object 2 is larger than an opening 3 of a top cover 4 of the container body 1. The floating object 2 is provided with at least one through hole 21 for preventing the floating object 2 from blocking the opening 3 of the top cover 4 of the container body 1.

[0032] Preferably, the floating object 2 is a round piece.

[0033] Preferably, the floating object 2 is connected to an inner wall of a top cover of the container body 1 by a thread 22. One end of the thread 22 is tied to the floating object 2 while the other end of the thread 22 is fixed on the inner wall of the top cover of the container body 1 by food grade coagulable glue.

[0034] Preferably, the thread 22 is free to move with the floating object 2 and the beverage.

[0035] Preferably, the thread 22 is a sanitary sterilized cotton thread.

[0036] After pouring a beverage into the beverage container, the floating object 2 is connected to the inner wall of the top cover of the container body 1 through the thread 22. Then before sealing the beverage container, placing the floating object 2 in the beverage container for it to float on the beverage.

[0037] While pulling the pull tab or walking with the beverage container after it is opened, the beverage container shakes to cause the floating object 2 to sway simultaneously. In the meantime, the inertial force generated by the floating object 2 swaying thus collides with the impact generated by the beverage shaking so that a portion of the impact caused from the beverage is counteracted. Since the floating object 2 always floats on the surface of the beverage and is larger than the opening 3 of the container body 1, the floating object 2 forms a barrier to prevent the beverage from spilling In addition, the floating object 2 is able to change the surface tension of the beverage to prevent the spillage of the beverage.

[0038] The above-mentioned embodiments are the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Variations and modifications are allowed within the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the features described above can be combined in various ways to form multiple variations of the invention. As a result, such variations fall within the scope of the protection to the present invention.
