A container lid assembly including a rotational and axial guide feature extending radially from an interior surface of a lid sidewall. The rotational and axial guide feature is designed to provide axial translation and retention of a cap or other accessory when the cap (accessory) is rotationally engaged with the lid sidewall. The cap and lid can include an interface that creates a liquid and gas impervious seal therebetween. The seal can be provided between a bottom surface of the cap and the top surface of the lid, a feature of the sidewalls of the cap and the lid, or any other sealing interface. The lid can include a score line defining a tear panel, wherein the tear panel can be opened when the score line is fractured. The score line can be fractured using a stay-on-tab, an incisor, a shearing force, etc.

A beverage can end has an arcuate panel wall and a chuck wall having a curved transition wall portion. Configuration of the seaming panel and panel wall is provided.

A can end including a central panel with an expandable bubble disposed thereon is provided. The use of an expandable bubble allows for an expandable rivet button and thereafter an expandable rivet that has an enhanced overlap of a tab body. Such an expandable rivet allows for the use of a metal sheet with a thinner base thickness.

A can end including a center panel, an annular portion disposed about the center panel, a standard chuck wall disposed about the annular portion, and a curl extending radially outwardly from the standard chuck wall. The annular portion includes an enhanced annular countersink.

A method for manufacturing a printed can lid (1) of a can with a digital printing method; comprising at least the following steps: a) making available a shell (2) with an outer face (3) and an inner face (4); b) making available a control unit (9) and a printed image (8), wherein the printed image (8) can be processed in the control unit (9); c) making available at least a first digital printing unit (10) with at least one printing head (11); wherein the printed image (8) which is made available by the control unit (9) can be printed onto the outer face (3) with the printing head (11); and d) printing the printed image (8) which is made available by the control unit (9) onto the outer face (3) with the printing head (11).

The present invention relates generally to a safety-enhanced can lid, and more particularly to a safety-enhanced can lid in which a prevention portion configured to prevent a user's hand from being cut is provided along the edge of the lid that is coupled to seal a can, thereby enabling safe use. For this purpose, the present invention provides a can lid that is coupled to the top side of a container in which contents are stored, the can lid including: a plate laid to cover the top portion of the container, composed of a flat plate, and provided with a pull tab on the top surface thereof; and a hand-cut prevention portion including a cut prevention wall bent downward from the edge of the plate toward the container.

A drawn aluminum can shell has a peripheral crown which is double-seamed with an end portion of an aluminum can body to provide a can end having a generally flat center panel connected by an inclined curved or straight panel wall to an inclined inner wall of an annular U-shaped countersink. The countersink has an outer wall which connects with an inclined lower wall portion of a chuck wall at a junction below the center panel, and the chuck wall has a curved or inclined upper wall portion which connects with an inner wall of the crown. The chuck wall also has an intermediate wall portion forming a break, and the inner bottom width of the countersink is less than the radial width of the panel wall. The inclined upper wall portion of the chuck wall extends at an angle greater than the angle of the inclined lower wall portion of the chuck wall.

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 resealable beverage can lid has 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 shell including a central panel with an expandable bubble disposed thereon is provided. The use of an expandable bubble allows for an expandable rivet button and thereafter an expandable rivet that has an enhanced overlap of a tab body. Such an expandable rivet allows for the use of a metal sheet with a thinner base thickness.
