ABSTRACT:
An easy-open and reclosable container has a non-circular scored portion on the top lid and an opening and resealing device pivotally fastened on the scored portion for selectably separating it from the top lid to provide an aperture, and selectably resealing the aperture by putting the separated portion back into the aperture and rotating it so as to lock it under the inner surface of the top lid. The opening and resealing device has a compression sealing member for resealing the aperture while the scored portion is locked. As an alternative, the easy-open and reclosable container can utilize an openable and reclosable device which includes a bottom flange member fastened on the top lid having a flange rim extending through an opening on the top lid, a closure member hingedly connected to the rim in part and having a channel complementary in shape with the flange rim, and a tension controlling member hingedly connected to the closure member and separable engaged with a rivet on the top lid for selectably releasing the pulling force on the closure member to allow it to open and selectably re-exerting the pulling force on the closure member to reclose the container. The present invention further provides a triangular cylindrical beverage container which can save storage space.
