Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to flip-top beverage cans.
  • Flip-top beverage cans are typically stored or displayed for sale without any packaging. Overtime contaminants accumulate on their tops/ends and especially around the end's crevice. These contaminants mix with the overflow of the beverage from the can and is washed into the digestive system of a consumer who directly drinks from the can. Even when the beverages are poured into a glass, the contaminants on the rim would still be washed into the glass.
  • This present invention provides a solution to the health and hygiene problem encountered by consumers when drinking direct from flip-top cans, by suggesting an article and a method of covering the surface, neck and down to the portion of the can that comes in direct contact with the lips of the consumers.
