A can lid is described that is in particular intended for beverage cans and that differs from the generally known metallic can lids in that the opening region is configured as a tongue tab that is separated from the lid surface by a microgap, in particular a punched gap, extending over the tab periphery and the tongue tab base connected to the lid surface forms a kink bearing that becomes effective on the opening procedure and that is connected to the lid surface, and in that the lower side of the metallic lid is in particular coated over its whole surface in a firmly adhering manner with a plastic material, in particular a plastic film, and this coating is weakened, in particular notched, adjacent to the microgap between the tongue tab and the lid surface.

A sealing system for container comprising material and a method using the system The present invention provides a sealing system for sealing a container comprising material, wherein the system comprises at least a first part which is a cap for sealing a container comprising a seal; and a second part which is a coupling member that is mounted to a dispenser unit, wherein the coupling of both parts with each other is configured that they can be twisted against each other while preventing axial movement of first and second part.

An end closure for food and beverage containers provides controlled opening characteristics to prevent the unintentional missiling of a tear panel. The end closure comprises a score line that defines a portion of the tear panel, and the end closure may comprise one or more anti-missile features that inhibit the propagation of a fracture down a score line, which reduces the likelihood that a tear panel will inadvertently detach from the end closure and injure the user or another.

A tamper evident closure includes a first snap, a second snap, a tear strip connected to the second snap, and a first projection extending around three sides of the first snap. In a closed position, the second snap is positioned in a cavity of the first snap, and the first projection surrounds three sides of the second snap that is positioned in the cavity of the first snap.

A beverage can end for seaming onto a can body may include a peripheral wall, a center panel (26), a tab (attached to the center panel by a rivet (28), a tear panel (60), a main reference line (Rm), a transverse reference line (R1), and a score (30). The end includes an anti-fracture score (40) proximate a vent score (70). The center panel includes a recess (27), in which the main score, an antifracture score, and (optionally) the anti-tension score (50) are located. The score is configured such that lifting the tab from its horizontal rest position to an intermediate position ruptures the main score portion to pivot the tear panel main portion about the hinge (70) and a second lifting operation or twisting operation of the tab ruptures the main score extension (34).

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.

Lid for a metal container (11) able to contain a substance, comprising: a closing cap (12) defined by at least one incision or pre-cut line (13), able to allow the closing cap to be lifted and at least partly torn, an opening lever (14) disposed astride the incision line (13) and comprising a front fulcrum end (15) and an intermediate region (16) provided with a flexible tongue (17) attached to the closing cap (12), a mechanical element (18) located in proximity to the incision line (13), configured to mechanically attach the flexible tongue (17) to the closing cap (12) and configured to cooperate with said flexible tongue (17); the incision line (13) having at the front, in the zone where the closing cap (12) starts to be lifted and torn, a portion (19) protruding outward, toward the front fulcrum end (15) of the opening lever (14), the protruding portion (19) having, on both sides, segments (20) of the incision line (13) which move away from said mechanical element (18) as far as respective deformation zones (21), caused by compression of the incision line (13).

Disclosed is a container for hermetically sealed storage of liquid, paste-like and/or solid products, more particularly foodstuffs, characterized in that the lid of the container is designed to be re-sealable and largely stable pull-tab lid is also provided, the opening of the lid not involving the separation of metal surface leading to swarf formation and the re-sealing of said lid for air tightness.

A container closure includes a generally planar body having a product side and a customer side. The container closure body defines a limited container opening and an actuation location. Further, the container body includes a force concentrating construction disposed adjacent the limited container opening.

A sealing system for container comprising material and a method using the system. The present invention provides a sealing system for sealing a container comprising material, wherein the system comprises at least a first part which is a cap for sealing a container comprising a seal; and a second part which is a coupling member that is mounted to a dispenser unit, wherein the coupling of both parts with each other is configured that they can be twisted against each other while preventing axial movement of first and second part.
