Device for protecting cans from dust and more generally from microbes

摘要

The invention relates to a device making it possible to provide protection against microbes up to the moment of opening drink cans which a large number of persons use directly, that is to say without pouring the liquid into a container. For this purpose, a membrane is fixed to the top of the can and it detaches from the edge by pressure. It is then possible to fold it back towards the opposite edge where it will remain fixed thus allowing drinking directly from the can with maximum limitation of microbe risk. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the food industry and more particularly for manufacturers of metal cans. <IMAGE>
