ABSTRACT:
A metal container end which is shaped to be attached at its periphery to a container body, such as a soft drink or beer container. The container end has a sealed closure having an opening activator in the form of a button raised in the container end. A lid is formed in the container end adjacent to and attached to the activator, the lid being defined by a frangible score line extending along the marginal edges of the lid from either side of the juncture of the activator and lid. The juncture of the activator and lid includes a fulcrum operable such that application of downward pressure on the activator causes the lid to sever from the container end along the score line and pivot upwardly from the container end about the fulcrum. The lid can then be manually bent along the fulcrum until it is pivoted adjacent to and coextensive with the activator.
