ABSTRACT:
A protective cap for canned soft drinks and the like is disclosed. The cap comprises an outer periphery configured to receive and snap over the upper surface of a conventional soft drink beverage can. A lip guard extends axially downward from the cap to provide a sanitary drinking surface. A grate is positioned to cover the opening in the top of the can through which the beverage may be consumed. The grate is formed as an integral portion of the molded cap. A hinged cover can rotate between opened and closed positions to permit consumption of the soft drink when in the opened position and to seal the container to prevent contamination from airborne debris and small insects when in the closed position. A detent formed upon the lower surface of the cover is received between adjacent bars of the grate to latch the cover in the closed position.
