ABSTRACT:
A resealable flip-top beverage can lid has a lid having a rim disposed on the periphery thereof; a swinging seal positioned to seal an opening in the lid; and a tab rotatably attached to the lid with a rivet. The tab has a hole punching lip and an extended lifting section on opposite sides of the rivet. The extended lifting section extending at least to the rim and is shaped to cover and substantially seal the opening in the lid. While it is preferred that the seal be strong enough to maintain any carbonation within the beverage can, a weaker seal is also beneficial in excluding insects and preventing or limiting spills. The extended lifting section preferably further includes a rim locking section to locks onto the rim of the lid.
