| 摘要 |
The present application discloses an invention which addresses and resolves long standing lid size reduction problems in the beverage-canning industry and comprises diametrally reduced adapter nozzles (60), and related methods, used as replace- ments only for the nonaccommodating distal discharge nozzle structure of a commercially existing fill valve (10), which is prefer- ably removed by conventional machining techniques. Each adapter nozzle (60) is fastened to the nonremoved portion or remain- der (10) of the fill valve (10) in sealed relation and comprises a plurality of angularly disposed beverage flow passageways (100) which selectively converts beverage flow from several streams issuing from t he remainder (10) of the existing fill valve (10) into three broad, although thin streams and discharges the three beverage streams angularly against the top region of the interior sur- face of the side wall of the can having reduced size lid opening so that foaming, if any, is within tolerable limits.
