Claims49
A coupling for assembling at least two beverage cans, comprising at least a pair of individual beverage can receivers joined at a junction, each receiver configured to snugly and slidably receive a corresponding end region of one of the beverage cans, the coupling configured in a first mode to form, with at least two of the beverage cans, an end-to-end subassembly exposing at least a pair of non-received end regions, the coupling configured in a second mode to join a non-received end region of each of least a pair of neighboring beverage can subassemblies for building structural forms for associated games, educational and/or other amusement activities.
A junction device for use with a plurality of beverage can receivers, in forming a beverage can subassembly in an educational and/or amusement activity with at least two beverage cans, comprising a body including a plurality of beverage can receiver mounting zones, each to receive a corresponding beverage can receiver thereon, each zone configured to enable the beverage can receiver to be releasably located in position thereon, in at least one beverage can receiver configuration.
A receiver device for use, at least in groups of two, with a junction unit, in forming a beverage can subassembly in an educational and/or amusement activity with at least two beverage cans, comprising at least one inner receiving surface to engage an outer surface on an outer side wall formed on a corresponding beverage can, and at least one interconnector for interconnection with a complementary interconnector on the junction.
A method of forming a beverage can subassembly in an educational and/or amusement activity with at least two beverage cans, comprising:
- a. providing at least one junction, and at least two beverage can receivers, the junction portion and receivers mutually configured for removable interconnection in one or more one receiver configurations, each receiver configured with at least one inner receiving surface to engage an outer surface on an outer side wall formed on a corresponding beverage can;
- b. selecting the desired receiver configuration for each of the receivers;
- c. interconnecting the receivers on the junction;
- and
- d. engaging a beverage can with each corresponding receiver to form the beverage can subassembly.
A coupling for assembling at least two beverage cans together, comprising at least a pair of beverage can receivers, each to slidably receive a corresponding end region of one of the beverage cans, the beverage can receivers being configured to engage the beverage cans for associated games, educational and/or other amusement activities.
