ABSTRACT:
An end closure for a container having a substantially planar first lid portion including an engaging element for engaging an upper rim of a container to be closed, a second substantially planar lid portion rotatably mounted to an upper surface of the first lid portion, the second lid portion having an opening defined therethrough, and an openable lid portion defined in the first lid portion. The openable lid portion includes a flexible hinge extending along first and second edge portions thereof and a frangible coupling extending along the remaining edges thereof including an edge segment which extends between and interconnects the first and second edge portions of the flexible hinge. A bottom surface of the first lid portion includes an engaging member for engaging an inner free edge of the openable lid portion defined by the frangible edge segment, so that when force is applied to the openable lid portion the frangible coupling is broken and the openable lid portion pivots about said first and second edge portions, the inner free edge engages the engaging member so as to retain said openable lid portion in an open disposition.
