ABSTRACT:
A can end for a two-piece beverage can including a score panel defined by an arcuate score line which comprises a score groove and a score residual portion. In order to control the opening speed of the score panel, the thickness of the score residual is varied along the score line. A thickened score residual area or areas may generally be located opposite the rivet area of the can end. The remainder of the score residual may be formed having a relatively smaller thickness, thus allowing opening of the end to be accomplished without the need for excessive force.
