ABSTRACT:
Non-detachable lever lift tabs for opening a beverage container is improved by changing the fulcrum or pivot point to a central position within the area of the lifting tab. This enables the tab to be utilized twice, once in each direction. The tab now offers a 100% increase in potential utility. This "teeter-totter" action allows the operator to open a diametrically opposed hole. This second aperture ventilates and significantly improves the air flow and pour rate of the contained beverage.
