A resealable beverage can has a lid having a top side having a first scored opening and a bottom side, a first rivet formed in the lid and extending outwardly from the top side of the lid, a tab portion connected to the first rivet, a second rivet formed in the lid and extending outwardly from the top side of the lid, the second rivet having an indentation formed in the bottom side of the lid, the second rivet having a second scored opening, a tack element connected to the indentation of the second rivet, and a closure element connected to the tack element.

An easy-opening end closure that may also be reclosed, suitable for joining to a container. A cover panel is bonded around its perimeter to an end panel with a rotatable lever interposed between them. To open the closure, a user applies force to the rotating lever to move it axially around an attachment point and thereby progressively debonding a substantial portion of the bond perimeter. The closure incorporates means for equilibrating pressure in the internal headspace of the container with the outside ambient for improved pouring.

An easy-opening end closure that may also be reclosed, suitable for joining to a container. A cover panel is bonded around its perimeter to an end panel with a rotatable lever interposed between them. To open the closure, a user applies force to the rotating lever to move it axially around an attachment point thereby engaging integrated mechanisms to progressively debond segments of the perimeter seal.

A crown, for a medical vial opening, has a top portion and a skirt surrounding the top portion. The skirt terminates at a lower edge defined in a first horizontal plane. An opener assembly is mounted to a portion of the top. A first scoring line extends from the portion of the top to which the opener assembly is mounted to the lower edge of the skirt in a continuous radial direction, and a second scoring line provides an upper radial segment extending from the opener assembly to the skirt along a radial axis, and a lower annular segment that extends circumferentially along the skirt in an annular direction and extending from a terminus of the upper radial segment. The lower annular segment is defined in a second horizontal plane equidistant to the first horizontal plane associated with the lower edge of the skirt.

A resealable beverage can lid has a lid having a top side having a first scored opening and a bottom side, a first rivet formed in the lid and extending outwardly from the top side of the lid, the first rivet having an indentation formed in the bottom side of the lid, the first rivet having a scored first circumference, a tab portion connected to the first rivet, a second rivet connected to the indentation of the first rivet, and a closure element connected to the second rivet.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a can having a pattern of radial displacement of material of a malleable can end with respect to a longitudinal axis of a malleable can body. In an illustrative example, the can end may sealingly couple to an open end of the longitudinally extending can body by a circumferential seam to form a sealed cavity. A can-opening dispenser may, for example, include at least one radially displaceable element (RDEL) configured such that, when operated into releasable engagement with the radially patterned seam, the dispenser resists rotation relative to the can about the longitudinal axis of the can. The RDEL may, for example, be radially deflected by operation of a collar in a first rotational direction (FRD). Continued operation of the collar in the FRD may, for example, operate an opening member to open the can. Various embodiments may advantageously provide self-opening dispensers for recyclable cans.

A metallic can end having a reclosable opening has a microgap or a weakening line peripherally around the opening, a sealing frame composed of plastic material surrounding the opening region, a closure unit composed of plastic that is disposed within the microgap or weakening line and that is pivotably attached to the fixed end surface via a pivot bearing. The sealing frame and the closure unit cooperate in a sealing manner. The metallic end region disposed within the peripheral microgap or the weakening line is received and held in the opening region of the end. The sealing frame is bonded to the fixed end surface and the closure unit is bonded to the upwardly pivotable metallic end region. Except for a possibly provided lacquer layer, the inner end side is at least largely free of lamination and the like.

A resealable beverage can lid is disclosed having a lid having a top side having a scored opening and a bottom side, a first rivet formed in the lid and extending outwardly from the top side of the lid, the first rivet having an indentation formed in the bottom side of the lid, a tab portion connected to the first rivet, the tab portion being magnetized, a second rivet connected to the indentation of the first rivet, and a closure element connected to the second rivet, movement of the tab portion capable of moving the closure element.
