ABSTRACT:
A beverage can, provided with sanitary covering means for normally covering the lip portion of the rim nearest the opening cover of the can during storage, is disclosed. The sanitary covering means may be formed separately from the attached lever opener. In this case, the sanitary covering means is rotatably attached on the top of the can by the opener's rivet at a portion between the lever opener and the top of the can. Alternatively, the sanitary covering means may be cast with the lever opener as a single structure. In this case, the lever opener is rotatably rivetted on the top of the can and radially extends outward while being widened in order to form a sanitary cover part used as the sanitary covering means and passes over the rim in order to form a rim cover part covering a part of the rim. The rim cover part may be curved in order to movably surround a part of the rim's top.
