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

A resealable beverage can lid is disclosed having 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.

Receptacle to contain substances, includes a main body, a first lid, positioned on the main body and bearing an opening zone of the receptacle, and an opening element configured to interact with said opening zone so as to make at least a hole on the first lid, to access the contents of the receptacle; the receptacle includes a second lid mobile with respect to the first lid and provided with at least a hole and at least a protruding portion, the hole and the protruding portion are selectively positionable in correspondence with the access hole of the first lid so that, when the hole of the second lid is positioned in correspondence with the hole of the first lid, it is possible to access the contents of the receptacle or so that, when the protruding portion of the second lid is positioned in correspondence with the hole of the first lid, the hole to access the contents of the receptacle is blocked.

The invention relates to a can lid of a conventional design, in particular intended for beverage cans, whose special feature comprises the fact that a substantially ring-shaped molded plastic part is fastened to the lower side of the lid surface surrounding the opening region to form an opening that is sealingly reclosable, in that a plastic stopper part is fixedly connected to the lower side of the tongue tab that is upwardly pivotable during the opening procedure and sealingly engages into the molded part, and in that the peripheral contour of the tongue tab is preferably disposed in the region of the molded part at a predefinable spacing from the stopper part.

A method and apparatus for sealing an opened beverage container is characterized by a removable cover member with an upper, a middle, and a lower portion, the middle portion having a cavity configured to receive a beverage container's tab. When in use, in some embodiments, the present invention may provide that a user may insert a beverage tab into the cavity to removably form a tab/cover member combination. The user may then rotate the tab/cover member combination into position over a beverage container's opening. The user may then press down on the tab/cover member combination and insert the tab/cover member combination into the beverage container's opening, thereby removably sealing the beverage container's opening. If desired, the user may press on a raised edge attached to the present invention's upper portion and dislodge the tab/cover member combination from the beverage container's opening, thereby unsealing the beverage container's opening.

Combination beverage containers and storage vessels. Various embodiments are configured to store a consumable beverage or otherwise consumable liquid as well as at least one second item which may comprise an edible foodstuff, toy, novelty, etc. all in one convenient container. In some embodiments, the second items may be stored directly in the vessel separated from the liquid or the second items may be stored in a second container that may be removably seated in a portion of the vessel. The vessels may or may not be hand-held.

A container top for a container includes a stay-on tab mechanism pivotally and rotatably attached by a rivet. The stay-on tab mechanism includes a tab section integrally connected with and folded over a cover section, wherein the rivet acts as a fulcrum for the tab section such that when a first end of the tab section is lifted by a user, an opposite second end engages and at least partially severs a displaceable portion of the container top. The cover section and the tab section can be rotated around the rivet between a position where the cover section covers the displaceable portion and another position where the cover section does not cover the displaceable portion such that the user can selectably close and reopen the container after the displaceable portion has been severed.

A stay-tab beverage can with protective guard is provided. An example protective guard made integral with beverage cans keeps insects and foreign objects out of the beverage can. Rotating versions of the protective guard can use the existing rivet of a stay-tab to accommodate the protective guard as an add-on to the manufacturing process. Other versions of the protective guard hinge or slide to protect the can's opening. Example designs of the protective guard are attached to the can in various ways, and rotate, flip, or slide to engage the opening of the beverage can. Some example designs of the guard can hold a drinking straw in place, with other versions cap or seal the beverage. A webbed version of the guard provides a grill or grate, while solid flap versions open for fluid flow and close when the flow stops. The protective guards may be made in various commercially desirable shapes and colors.

A container includes a movable cover for an opening of the container. The cover can be attached to the container to rotate from a first position to a second position to be disposed over the opening in the container. When the cover is in the first position, the opening is at least substantially uncovered, and when the cover is in the second position, the opening is at least substantially covered.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a lid for a container. In one embodiment, the lid of the container includes a lid panel with a break-open region at least partially surrounded by a predetermined breaking line, and having a fastening member arranged on the lid panel. The lid further including a lever tab rotatably attached to the fastening member for breaking open the break-open region along the predetermined breaking line toward an underside of the lid panel and thereby providing a removal opening in the lid panel. In some embodiments, the lever tab includes a closure element attached to the lever tab, the closure element being adapted to be mountable to an upper side of the lid panel and sealingly surrounding the removal opening for closing the removal opening; and a locking element for locking the closure element when the removal opening is closed by the closure element.
