HOLDER OF SET OF THIN-WALLED METAL BEVERAGE CANS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B65D71/50 

FIELD: packaging industry.

SUBSTANCE: holder of set of thin-walled metal cans comprises a housing made of polymeric material, in which at least two circular-shaped openings are made with sidewalls oriented vertically downwards. Each opening comprises resiliently deformable lock tangs directed obliquely upwards, located on the inner surface of the vertical side walls, which bases are connected to the lower edges of the vertical side walls of the openings, and the apexes are located on a circle with a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the annular canted collar in the upper part of the can with the ability of placing and retaining one pot in each of the openings. And bases of the lock tangs in the openings in the housing are arranged along a circle with a diameter not smaller than the outer diameter of the cans with the possibility of removal of cans from the holder when their movement through the openings in the housing from below upwards. Along the edges of the central part of the housing the reinforcement ribs are formed vertically oriented downward with a height equal to the height of the vertical side walls of the openings and mating with the outer surfaces of the vertical side walls of the openings in the housing to form the closed outer stiffness loop located around the perimeter of the housing. The holder handle is located outside the housing edges and is integrally connected by the ends with the midpoints of the side edges of the housing with the ability of movement from its original position essentially parallel to the plane of the housing to a position at an angle to the plane of the housing in its operational position.

EFFECT: such holder has a greater load carrying capacity, provides the ability of multiple packaging, carrying, transporting or stacking a set of thin-walled metal beverage cans in both closed and open state, the ability to remove the cans from the holder without efforts damaging or deforming the thin-walled metal cans, it is easy to use.
