An apparatus is disclosed and includes a can, which has an end wall incorporating a vent panel and a pouring panel, both panels being breakable and presenting a contour defined by a rupture line. A first actuation tab is externally affixed to the vent panel and manually and angularly displaceable, in order to be separated from the can jointly with the vent panel. A second actuation tab, which may be actuated after the vent panel is removed, is externally affixed to the pouring panel and provided with an end lower tooth, which is pressed against the rupture line of the pouring panel, when the second actuation tab is displaced so as to break, initially, the confronting spot region of the rupture line and, subsequently, to separate the pouring panel from said end wall.

A radio frequency identification gasket for sealing a bottle mouth has an adhesive layer, an aluminum-plastic film layer, a radio frequency identification layer and a composite film functional layer from bottom to top, wherein the composite film functional layer is formed with a reserved structural weakening zone therein, the radio frequency identification layer is set with a structure of a radio frequency identification antenna line that is destroyed when the composite film functional layer is torn. The composite film functional layer forms the reserved structural weakening zone therein through physical treatment, and the physical treatment is one of die micro-pressing, laser micro-cutting or electron beam micro-cutting. The radio frequency identification gasket is mounted in the bottle mouth and has the functions of sealing and reading and writing radio frequency tags, and also has an anti-counterfeiting effect.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for marking a container for tracking and tracing the container throughout the lifecycle of the container. The mark can be applied, for example, on the closed end, bottom dome, or an end closure of the container. Tracking and tracing a container at various points during its lifecycle such as point of sale, where the container is recycled or destroyed, etc. provides valuable information that can be used to improve and incentivize recycling and deposit return public policies and environmental programs.

The Pop Top Dot, simply put, in terms of the basic technical disclosure, is a small semi-soft ball attached to the underside of the pull-lever on any “stay-tab”, pull-top system of can opening. The underside of the lever tends to pinch, or dig under the nail, so the soft nature of the Pop Top Dot will address this. The stay-tab opening system is most often associated with canned beverages, but this lever system and tab are used on many canned items, the Pop Top Dot precisely where the fingertip contacts the tab when opening the container. The Pop Top Dot is either an extension of the tab, a metal aluminum alloy sphere as a manufactured part of the lever, cast and then coated with a soft material, or it's a cushioned sphere attached to the lever with a bonding agent of some kind.

In an easy open can lid a pulling-up direction of a tab acts toward a center of the lid while securing a finger hooking property with respect to the tab, by devising a shape of an embossed portion. In a can lid in which a tab for score breaking is fixed to a main body, and an embossed portion, into which a fingertip is insertable, is provided in the vicinity of a rear end of a finger hook portion of the tab, the embossed portion has a slope formed at a rear end side of the finger hook portion, and the slope of the embossed portion is provided with a guide recess for guiding a fingertip that extends toward the center of the lid at least up to a position thereof facing a central portion in a width direction of a back surface of the finger hook portion.

An apparatus is disclosed and includes a can, which has an end wall incorporating a vent panel and a pouring panel, both panels presenting a contour defined by a rupture line. The apparatus includes an actuation tab with an extracting end portion affixed to the vent panel. The actuation tab includes a punching end portion affixed to the pouring panel and a lower end tooth to be pressed against a spot region of the rupture line of the pouring panel. The actuation tab includes a grip portion affixed to the extracting end portion and is designed to be manually and upwardly actuated for detaching the vent panel from the end wall. The grip portion is designed to punch and rupture the spot region of the rupture line of the pouring panel and, subsequently, detaching the latter from the end wall.

A container includes an end wall having a rivet and a frangible score line that defines a curved tongue shaped panel. The frangible score line terminates at each end substantially on a radial line extending from a lever mounting hole formed within the curved tongue shaped panel. A tab is riveted to the lever-mounting hole to act as second-degree lever. The tab has a first actuating point extending toward the distal looping portion of the frangible score line. The tab has a fulcrum portion extending opposite to the first actuating point and terminating within the curved tongue shape. Lifting of the first actuating point pulls upward on the curved tongue shaped panel at the distal looping portion imparts a shear force of the frangible score line to initiate upward rolling of an extended portion of the curved tongue shaped panel.
