A reclosable metal lid of a beverage can comprising a centre panel in which scorelines are made, allowing to tear out an aperture, a circumferential panel connecting the centre panel with the neck of the can, and a pull-tab attached by a rivet, and a collar for connecting the lid with the can body, equipped with a closing rotatable panel rotating around the rivet axis is, wherein the centre panel (4) is above the circumferential panel (3) and has in the connection spot with the circumferential panel (3) an additional embossing forming a guide-rail, and the rotatable panel (5) is mounted on the lid on this guide-rail, while the pull tab (7) is affixed to the rotatable panel (5) by the rivet (6), wherein the size of the rotatable panel (5) corresponds to the size of the centre panel (4), and the rotatable panel (5) comprises an aperture which corresponds to a drinking opening of the lid.

A tamperproof beverage container unsealed by rotation of a lid is disclosed herein. In a general example embodiment, the beverage container includes a body configured to seal a beverage therein, the body including at least a top surface, the top surface including a main surface and at least one sealing surface covering at least one body aperture, and a lid configured to at least partially cover the top surface of the body, the lid including at least one projection which unseals the at least one sealing surface to reveal the at least one body aperture when the lid is rotated with respect to the body.

A covered container manufacturing device for manufacturing a resin covered container that includes: a container main body; an outer cover portion that opens and closes the container main body; and a hinge portion that couples the container main body with the outer cover portion, and wherein the container main body, the outer cover portion and the hinge portion are integrally formed, the covered container manufacturing device including: an angle regulator that regulates a relative angle of the outer cover portion with respect to the container main body to a predetermined angle of less than 180 degrees, wherein the angle regulator comprises: a heater that comprises a heating portion that generates heat and heats the hinge portion; and a bender that bends the outer cover portion relative to the container main body at the heated hinge portion, wherein the heater heats inside of the hinge portion.

The present invention relates to a can made essentially of plastic and containing a sterile beverage. The can includes a receptacle having a cylindrical body and an upper portion provided with an opening. The opening in the receptacle is hermetically sealed with a closure made of a metal and plastics composite. A cap comprising a cylindrical side wall and a piercing device is attached to the receptacle. Preferably, the cap comprises a re-closable lid. The receptacle-and-cap assembly have the appearance of a can.

The invention relates to a protector for containers that include a rivet that protrudes in the upper portion of the container, comprising an upper lid and a lower ring that can be coupled to the side wall of the container, the upper lid and the lower ring being attached to each other. The lower ring includes a plurality of locking tabs, which protrude from an interior face of the lower ring in an upwards direction and along the entire perimeter of the lower ring, said locking tabs having an angle of inclination with respect to a vertical portion of the lower ring, said locking tabs being designed to hold the side wall of the container and abut under the rivet present in the container, the upper lid including at least a negative portion that protrudes from an interior face of a perimeter flange, which is attached to the locking tabs in a closed state of the upper lid with respect to the lower ring.

The beverage can closure comprises a can, a sliding cover, and a cover retainer. The sliding cover may be located on the top of the can. The sliding cover may slide along a cover retainer on a rim of the can such that the sliding cover may be moved over an opening of the can to prevent insects or debris from entering the can. The sliding cover may be moved away from the opening in order to drink from the can. As non-limiting examples, the cover retainer may be a track or a ridge on the rim of the can that retains the distal edge of the sliding cover. The proximal edge of the sliding cover may be retained by a tab and/or a rivet located at the center top of the can.

A pop top lid encloses a cylindrical fluid container. The pop top lid includes an end shell having an off-center scored line defining a tear panel; and a stay-on tab assembly riveted through a central portion to the end shell for rotation. An aperture point is attached to a central portion and rotatably positioned proximate to an inner edge of the scored line. A shearing edge is attached to the central portion and radially extending behind the aperture point. An actuator portion is attached to the central portion opposite to the aperture point, is liftable as a first-degree lever to form an aperture at the scored line with the aperture point, and is rotatable to insert the shearing edge into the aperture shearing the scored line to remove the tear panel from the end shell.

A beverage can cap is outfitted upon an upper portion of a beverage can for enabling a user to selectively cover the upper portion. The upper can portion has an upper can rim and a can capping plate. The beverage can cap essentially includes an upper cap rim, a cap plate centrally located relative to the cap rim, and a cap opening.

The beverage can cap is attachable to the upper can portion of the beverage can such that the upper cap rim receives the upper can rim and the cap plate extends in parallel relation to the can capping plate. In certain embodiments, the beverage can cap is rotatable about a cap axis of rotation for selectively positioning the cap plate in superior adjacency to a beverage-letting aperture formable in the can capping plate for selectively covering the beverage-letting aperture with a portion of the cap plate.

A resealable cover for a beverage container that holds a carbonated beverage. The cover includes a base engageable with a rim of the container and a lid movable between an open and closed position relative to the base. When in the closed position, a passageway is defined between a portion of the lid and a portion of the base. The passageway permits fluid communication between air surrounding an exterior surface of the cover and a space defined between the lid and an opening in the container. Pressure that builds up under the lid from gas escaping from the liquid may be relieved by outgassing through the passageway. The cover includes latches on the base that engage in notches on the lid to help lock the lid in place. The lid is rotated relative to the base to release the latches and permit the lid to be opened.

A device is provided that assists with equalizing air pressure within a container with the atmospheric air pressure as liquid is being poured from the container and includes one or more relatively short air tubes. The device is provided with the ability to simultaneously equalize pressure in the container while also providing a drip collection mechanism. The device may be configured for unidirectional pouring or multi-directional pouring.
