The package includes a sheet material with a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the second end to form a sealing flap, the sealing flap sealing the package along at least a transversal edge of the sheet material, longitudinal edges of the sheet material being connected to each other. The sealing flap defines an opening cut, the opening cut being arranged in a sealed portion of the package. A first part of the sheet material forms a first package face, the sealing flap being connected to the first package face.

A pop top lid enables opening and closing of a top opening in a cylindrical fluid container such as a beverage can. an enclosing a top opening in a cylindrical fluid container. A pocketed tang of a stay-on tab assembly pivots about a central rivet on an end shell of the pop top lid. During lifting and rotation of the stay-on tab assembly, an aperture creation point begins to shear a scored line to remove a tear panel from an end shell of the beverage can. directing the tear panel between a top cover and a bottom plate of the pocketed tang. A flange of the bottom plate assists in removal of the tear panel by being directed into a panel opening left by the tear panel directing the tear panel into the tear panel capturing pocket when the stay-on-tab assembly is rotated in a first direction of rotation.

The method including providing a sheet of material in the form of a strip, first folding the sheet of material onto itself to form a first package face and a second package face that oppose each other, a first end portion and a second end portion of the sheet of material extending from the first package face, sealing the sheet of material along opposed longitudinal edges of the sheet of material, fixing the first end portion and the second end portion to each other to form a sealing flap, first defining an opening cut in the sealing flap, the opening cut being defined by both the first end portion and the second end portion, and connecting the sealing flap to the first package face to form the assembled package, the opening cut not being visible or directly accessible on the assembled package.

A tab main body section (520) is provided with first to third main body section slits (731-733) which penetrate through the tab main body section (520). The first to third main body section slits (731-733) are formed in a circular arc shape so as to extend along the outer peripheral edge of an insertion hole (540) formed in a circular shape. The first main body section slit (731) is provided between the insertion opening (540) and a first edge section (501) of a tab (500). The second main body section slit (732) and the third main body section slit (733) each have one end section (751) and the other end section (752). The one end section (751) is located closer to a second edge section (502) of the tab (500) than the insertion hole (540).

The present invention refers to an automatic opening device for a package, the device comprising an spout, a cap and a means for tearing the sealing element of a package, which can be either the aluminium layer of an aseptic carton package, or a sealing element located under the spout or the plastic material of a plastic pouch or the like.

An easy-open can end for making an opening therethrough suitable for pouring comprises an end plate, a score line in the end plate defining most of the periphery of a tear panel while leaving a hinge, and a protrusion formed on the tear panel. To open the easy-open can end, the protrusion is pressed down by a rotating bar horizontally rotated over the protrusion or by a body vertically hitting the protrusion to cause relative vertical movement between the tear panel and the remainder of the end plate, rupture of the score line, and swinging of the tear panel down about the hinge to an open position.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for amending a food product, comprising the steps of: (1) forming a nootropic emulsion comprising a nootropic, an emulsifier, and water, the nootropic including at least one of: Psilocybe, Cubensis; and Panaeolus (Copelandia); (2) subjecting the nootropic emulsion to shear forces exceeding 50,000 sec.sup.−1 in a high pressure emulsifier; and (3) amending the food product with the nootropic emulsion to form a nootropic amended food product with the optional step of receiving the food product from a first state of the United States of America where at least one nootropic component and/or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the nootropic emulsion is illegal in food, the step of amending adding the nootropic and/or the THC to the food product being legal in a second state where the at least one nootropic component and/or the THC is added to the food product.

A tamper evident container includes a tray portion having a base, a sidewall extending upwardly from a perimeter of the base, and a lid portion having an open position and a closed position. The lid portion may be configured to lockingly engage the tray portion in the closed position. A first hinge may be connected to lid portion and tray portion for rotation of the lid portion relative to the tray portion. A tamper evident closure may also be provided having an open position and a locked position, wherein in the locked position the tamper evident closure connects the tray portion and the lid portion when the lid portion in the closed position. A line of weakness is provided in the tamper evident closure which, when broken after the tamper evident closure is in the locked position, permits the lid portion to be moved from the closed position to the open position.

A can lid (14) for an aluminum beverage can is disclosed and has a pull tab (38), a chuck wall (26) defining a plug diameter B, a countersink (28) and a central panel (30) having a panel radius (48). On the central panel, a score line (34) defining a tear panel (32) and a rivet (40) for connecting the pull-tab to the can lid are arranged. The lid has a lid plug diameter of between 45 to 49 mm, an outside diameter of between 52 to 55 mm, and a weight of less than 1.9 g. The central panel has a thickness of less than 0.19 mm. The rivet is arranged off-center on the central panel. The rivet is tilted, so that the rivet provides an axis of rotation of the pull tap that has an angle of between 2° and 4° with respect to an axis that is vertically orientated with respect to the central panel, and/or at least one ramp-up bead (56) is arranged on either side of pull tab or on both sides of the pull tab.

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.
