ABSTRACT:
A new can top structure is provided in a can containing beverage liquid therewithin. On the can top, a ring serving as a jig for forming an opening therein is attached by way of a rivet at the center thereof. The ring has a pull side free end and a push side free end. There is also formed a tear-out portion defined by a scored line in the can top and the push side free end of the ring overlaps part of the tear-out portion. Since the ring is oriented slantwise with respect to the tear-out portion, the ring stays out of the way at the time of consuming the beverage liquid even though the pull side free end of the ring is erected to cause the push side free end to drive part of the tear-out portion into the can such that an opening is formed.
