ABSTRACT:
An improved method of forming and a construction for a digitally openable container closure. Included therein is a container wall having an inwardly displaceable opening panel defined by a fracturable web which has been formed by selectively displacing metal adjacent a predetermined line substantially perpendicular to the surface of the container wall and by extruding metal between substantially parallel die surfaces which are disposed at an angle to the plane of the container wall. Formed concurrently therewith is an integral inclined deflectable portion projecting outwardly from the container wall adjacent the fracturable web and which deflectable portion is adapted to effect, in response to digitally applied inwardly directed pressure, a relative displacement between the rim of the panel and the lip of the adjacent container wall to selectively strain the web and initiate fracture thereof to permit inward displacement of an opening panel of greater extent than the size of the opening formed in the container wall by the separation of said panel.
