KIRIN_ News Release _ 2006.6.26 _ About development of "Easy can" easy to open any finger

According to the research result of the giraffe, the three factors of "easy-to-open", "fingered feeling", "how much force is applied at the time of can opening" and "hardness at the time of opening (pain)" greatly contribute It seems to be doing. As a result of examination of each of these, as a result of introducing "double finger deboss" (patent pending) newly, it is necessary to open "narrow and deep indentation" necessary for opening with an index finger and thumb or middle finger We realized at the same time "wide and shallow indentation".

Also, when opening with "index finger and middle finger" or "sideways opening", by improving the gap under the pull tab, "finger stickiness" is improved.

In addition, by giving "tablature effect" to the tab, it seems to be "easy to open", it is said that "the degree of force applied at the time of can opening" and "hardness at can opening" were improved at the same time I will.

Giraffe was not satisfied with this alone, and also developed a device that continuously measures the change in force at the time of can opening and analyzes the degree of force application. As a result of digitizing "ease of opening", it was confirmed that the force required at the time of opening can be reduced.

As a result, 80% or more of the users evaluated that it was easy to open "simple cans", and in all five patterns "how to open cans", it turned out to be superior in ease of opening.

By the way, in young men, about 80% of can opens with "index finger" occupies, and it seems that women and elderly have various opening methods.

In addition, in early July, it seems that we will sequentially switch from "Tanrei Green Label" of manufactured goods to "Easy can". I do not drink any alcohol, but it may not be bad to try purchasing it as a cooking premise and trying to open it easily.
