A can end (10) has a curl (14) extending circumferentially about a longitudinal axis (50). A circumferential wall (15) extends downwardly. A strengthening member (16) is joined to lower segment of the circumferential wall (15). A center panel (12) extends radially inwardly from the circumferential strengthening member (16). A rivet (38) attaches a tab (28) to the center panel (12). A cover (60) is attached to the tab (28) and is rotation therewith. A frangible score (24) in the center panel (12) is breakable to form a pour opening (27) in the center panel (12). The cover (60) is rotatable to overlay the pour opening (27) and effectively reclose the pour opening (27) in a reclosed condition of the can end (10).

Lid caps outfit lid assemblies thereby providing lid-cap combinations for beverage cans. The lid assemblies include a lid rim portion, a lid capping plate, and a can opener element and are attached to a lower can body for forming a beverage can. The lid caps include a cap plate centrally located relative to an outer cap periphery. A cap groove is configured to firstly attach the lid cap to the lid assembly by mated engagement, and may include a pivot structure for providing a can-opening access aperture and closing the can-opening access aperture. In certain embodiments, the cap plate includes a fastener-letting aperture. The can opener element is attached to the lid capping plate via a fastener as extended through the fastener-letting aperture thereby sandwiching the cap plate intermediate the can opener element and the lid capping plate for secondly attaching the lid cap to the lid assembly.

A beverage container protection device to removably connect to a beverage container, the beverage container protection device including a main body to enclose a top portion of the beverage container therein, a flap assembly movably disposed on at least a portion of the main body to prevent movement of at least one particle therethrough and prevent a decrease of a carbonation level within a beverage of the beverage container, and a center aperture disposed on and within at least a portion of the main body to facilitate extraction of the beverage within the beverage container, such that the center aperture is covered by the flap assembly.

A re-closeable cap is outfitted upon an upper portion of a beverage can or a series of beverage cans in a multi-pack arrangement for providing a protective barrier atop opened beverage cans. The re-closeable caps include a unibody material construction particularly configured to comprise a cap rim and a cap plate centrally located relative to the cap rim. The cap rim attaches the re-closeable cap to a can rim. The cap plate includes a static portion and at least one dynamic portion all formed from the unibody material construction with complex upper surface landscape and cut lines. The dynamic portions are pivotal relative to the static structure for providing a can-opening access aperture for enabling a user to consume can contents and closing the can-opening access aperture for enabling the user to cover the can opening during contents consumption.

A dispensing mechanism for carbonated beverage bottles that includes connecting member, perforating mechanism, and opening mechanism.

Provided herein is a re-usable device that would allow for the export of, or consumption of liquid without having to remove the device from the can such as the aluminum beverage can and that would also seal the liquid inside a beverage can. A water-resistant or water-proof, insect-proof, dirt-proof synthetic cap is provided that is to be attached to the lip area of the open mouth of can or other open mouth container, such as metal, plastic or an aluminum beverage can.

A shaker top and beverage container are provided, which may together form a cocktail shaker. The shaker top comprises an interface part arranged to be liquid-tightly connected to the beverage container, the interface part comprising an interface body and a radial clamping module for radially engaging the beverage container. The beverage container may be filled with a substantially non-carbonated beverage, for example up to 90 percent of the total volume of the beverage container.

A closure for a container has a base and a lid. The base is attachable to the container. The lid is pivotally connected to the base and moveable between open and closed positions. The lid or the base has operating tabs on its periphery. Each operating tab has an actuation portion and an engagement portion. The engagement portion is moveable between engagement and disengagement positions. When the lid is in the closed positioned, the engagement portion engages the other of the lid and the base in the engagement position and disengages from the other of the lid and the base in the disengagement position. The actuation portion of the operating tab is resiliently deflectable radially outward relative to the one of the lid and the base to move the engagement portion to the disengagement position whereupon release of the actuation portion, the engagement portion returns to the engagement position.

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.
