Stacking Clip for Beverage Cans

摘要

A stacking clip is provided for vertically attaching two beverage cans together. The stacking clip comprises tabs and ledges used to attach to the lip of a circular rim of a lower beverage can and clipping protrusions used to attach to an undercut region in a concavity of another upper beverage can. Wings are configured to flex inward under an influence of a digit of a user to bias the ledges outward away from the central region of the clip body, detaching the ledges from the rim of the attached beverage can.

1. A stacking clip for beverage cans, comprising:
a clip body with a top side configured to attach to a bottom of an upper can and a bottom side configured to attach to a top of a lower can, the clip body including:
a plurality of outer securing structures formed around a substantially circular outer perimeter of the clip body, each outer securing structure including an outer tab extending downward from the bottom side the clip body, a ledge formed at a bottom end of the outer tab and extending inward toward a central region of the clip body, and a wing extending upward from the outer tab away from the top side of the clip body, wherein the wing is configured to flex inward under an influence of a digit of a user to bias the ledge outward away from the central region of the clip body; anda plurality of inner securing structures formed around a substantially circular intermediate perimeter, each of the inner securing structures having a support tab extending downwardly from the clip body and a clipping protrusion extending upwardly from the clip body;wherein each ledge grips an outer lip of a circular rim formed on the top side of the lower can, to thereby releasably grip the lower can; andwherein a distal end of each support tab contacts a top horizontal surface on the top side of the lower can and each clipping protrusion contacts an undercut region in a concavity formed on the bottom side of the upper can, to thereby releasably grip the upper can.
