ABSTRACT:
A beverage can is provided with a tab having opening and sealing portions. The tab is riveted to the can lid in a central portion thereof with the opening portion being adjacent an openable area of the can lid which is defined by a continuous score line.
The can is opened by lifting the sealing portion of the tab which causes downward movement of the opening portion which in turn impinges upon the openable area of the lid until an opening is formed. After forming the opening, the tab is rotated 180 degrees until the sealing recoverable portion is juxtaposed over the opening, thus covering the opening to keep out foreign matter. The tab is then pushed downwardly so that the sealing portion is fitted into the opening, thereby affecting a seal.
