ABSTRACT:
An end structure for an easy open container includes an end wall and a panel defined by a score line. Fold portions, which support the panel in a plane different from the end wall, form an annular shoulder around the score line. A guard ring having portions defining a manually actuatable punch is rotatable on the shoulder between a first position wherein the punch has a distal relationship with the score line and a second position wherein the punch has a proximal relationship with the score line. The guard ring can be set to the first position to inhibit opening of the container and can be moved to the second position to facilitate opening of the container. With the rupturing of the score line and displacement of the panel to open the container, the guard ring displaces slightly to guard the sharp free edge of the ruptured score line and thereby to inhibit lacerations of the user's finger.
