BEVERAGE CAN HOLDER

Abstract

A non-separable pull-tab is hooked on a hook which is attached to a little finger to hang a beverage can. Thus, various shapes of plates and beverage cans can be held by one hand. In addition, manufacturing cost is reduced and portability is increased by making a size compact. A beverage can holder is comprised of a ring (A), two positioning projections (B) and a hook (C), wherein the ring (A) is attached to a little finger, the two positioning projections (B) sandwich an annular finger, a non-separable pull-tab (D) is hooked on the hook (C) for hanging and holding a beverage can (E).

MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0017] The present invention relates to a beverage can holder as a single body. The holder is used by attaching to the hand holding the plate for meal.

[0018] The can holder of the present invention is comprised of a ring (A), two positioning projections (B) and a hook (C) as shown in FIG. 1.

[0019] As the method for using the can holder, as shown in FIG. 2, the ring (A) is attached to a base of a little finger, an annular finger is sandwiched by the positioning projections (B) for preventing the ring (A) from being rotated, and a non-separable pull-tab (D) is hooked on the hook (C) to hold a beverage can (E). As shown in FIG. 3, various shapes of plates can be held while using the present invention. A user eats meals with the hand not holding the plate using chopsticks, a fork, or the like. When drinking a can beverage, the fork or the like is put on the plate, and the non-separable pull-tab (D) is removed from the hook (C) to drink the beverage with the hand not holding the plate.

Example 1

[0020] The non-separable pull-tab (D) is preferred to be raised slightly upward so as to be easily hooked. However, the angle is preferred to be within 45 so that the pull-tab (D) is not in contact with the nose when drinking the beverage.

[0021] The hook (C) is preferred to have the shape shown in FIG. 1 because the non-separable pull-tab (D) can be easily hooked and unhooked.

[0022] The holder is convenient for a stand-up meal such as festival food stall and barbecue.

[0023] The holder can be also used for other than the can by attaching a member which is capable of being hooked on the hook to a plastic bottle or a cup.

Example 2

[0024] As shown in FIG. 4, the holder is convenient for holding the beverage can while holding an electronic device such as a smartphone.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

[0025] By providing the holder at a food court without tables and chairs (stand-up type), for example, users can easily purchase the can beverage simultaneously. Thus, sales of the entire hood court can be increased.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 5, a logo mark can be printed or molded. Thus, the holder can be used as novelty goods.
