ABSTRACT:
An easy-open beverage container with a non-detachable closure assembly includes a container body and integral end wall. In one embodiment, the end wall is formed to defined an opening through which the container contents can be dispensed and a threaded lip extends about the periphery of the opening. Another embodiment reveals that the wall contains a selectively separable region of predetermined weakness defining an openable panel in the wall. An opening and reseal cap has a depending threaded skirt adapted for operative engagement with the threaded lip of end wall. The cap can be threaded onto the lip to seal the can or unthreaded to open up the can for use. An arm is pivotally attached at one end to the can end wall and the cap is rotatably attached to the other end of the arm such that the cap is non-detachably mounted to the end wall through the arm. The cap can thus be unscrewed to open the container and the cap and arm pivoted to displace the cap from the opening for dispensing the container contents. To reseal the container, the cap and arm are pivoted back to align the cap with the opening and the cap is rotated to engage the threads and reseal the container.
