ABSTRACT:
A device for opening an opening portion of an upper panel of a container is formed of a lifting portion, a pressing portion integrally formed with the lifting portion, and an elongated portion extending from one of the lifting portion and the pressing portion. A fixing member fixes a part of the elongated portion to the upper panel of the container. In the invention, a bend-supporting portion is provided in the elongated portion between the fixing member and an edge near the one of the lifting portion and the pressing portion. When the lifting portion is pulled upwardly, the bend-supporting portion initially receives a force and bends thereat to provide a space for a finger between the upper panel and the lifting portion without substantially applying the force to the pressing portion. The opening portion for the container can be easily opening.
