ABSTRACT:
An opening tab for a closure wall of a container, such as a beverage container, where the opening tab is to be movable in a plane perpendicular to the surface of the closure wall to affect consistent breaking of a frangible seal and deflecting of a panel formed within the closure wall, creating an access opening permitting dispensing of the contents of the container wherein the opening tab is to be stored other than in the 6 o'clock position and is to be movable sideways along the surface of the closure wall from a storage position to an elevated 6 o'clock frangible seal breaking position. Operating of the opening tab inadvertently in either the storage position or the frangible seal breaking position and any position there between will result in consistent breaking of the frangible seal, deflecting of the panel, and creating the access opening.
