ABSTRACT:
The invention is concerned with an adapter in the shape of a bottle top which will provide a bottle-like spout which is releasably attached to an aluminum beverage can so that a consumer may drink from the can as if drinking from a bottle. The adapter is so designed that it may be releasably attached to differently sized rims of differently sized cans. This is accomplished by providing two differently sized recesses in the base of the adapter. The recesses are concentric to each other but spaced from each other in the longitudinal direction of the adapter. Each of the recesses has an inclined wall that is inclined outwardly relative to an axial line through the adapter. This inclination results in a lateral ceiling which is normal to the axial line through the adapter against which the top of rim of the can will seat.
