The rupture lever can be used as a reopening lever to reopen the beverage can, whereby the rupture lever, which was pivoted together with the opening tab or beverage can closure element, is pressed downwards, whereby the snapped-in rim is pressed inwards again and the curved surface, which was less curved or even flat in the snapped-in state, is pressed upwards again, whereby the opening tab and beverage can closure element are released from the dispensing opening and can be pivoted or folded back.

Alternatively or additionally, an opening mechanism can be provided or used for reopening which is located on the other side of the opening tab opposite the rupture lever, whereby the rim of the opening tab or one or more wings can be used to loosen the opening tab.

The wing(s) can be pressed downwards to reopen the container, whereby the opening tab or the beverage can closure element returns to its original shape, or whereby the wing(s) is/are raised and pulled upwards.

Following opening of the beverage can, the opening tab or beverage can closure element or beverage can closure element can be pivoted or folded and pressed into the dispensing opening. Closure elements can be provided to avoid situations where the opening tab or the beverage can closure element loosens out of the dispensing opening, and a reopening mechanism can be provided to enable clearing of the dispensing opening again.

The opening tab used for reclosing or the beverage can closure element used for reclosing can be accommodated without difficulty in the disc-shaped cavity which opens upwards and is formed between the central lid component and the upper can rim, particularly if the tab or closure element consists of a thin plate stamped part. This means that according to the invention the lid can be produced by conventional machines without the need for major adaptations.

The dispensing opening can be reliably closed and locked, and dirt, dust and pests (i.e. insects) cannot penetrate into the can after it has been opened. The contents can no longer be spilled in appreciable quantities in the workplace, when playing or when travelling in moving vehicles. The subject matter of the invention can even be closed and locked to a degree that prevents the contents of the can being spilled in appreciable quantities if the can topples over. A can equipped in this manner is also very environmentally friendly; as the opening tab or the beverage can closure element used for reclosing is continually connected to the can.

The embodiment of the closure elements is such that the opening tab or beverage can closure element or beverage can closure element snaps into the dispensing opening and locks during reclosing. The opening tab or beverage can closure element should preferably exhibit an upwardly curving surface or partial surface in this respect and should preferably have a circumferential rim which can snap into the dispensing opening. The surface or partial surface can be round, oval, trapezoidal with rounded corners, bridge shaped, groove shaped, rectangular, square, triangular, polygonal or similar, with rounded corners if necessary. The surface or partial surface can also consist of combinations of different shapes (e.g. angular and rounded shapes).

The curved surface or partial surface can also be directed downwards, or the upwardly curving surface can in part exhibit a surface directed downwards. The surface or partial surface directed downwards facilitates reclosing and locking.

Locking can be achieved as follows in the case of some embodiments of the invention: the upwardly curving surface is pressed downwards in a manner in which, due to this deformation, the curved surface presses the rim of the opening tab or beverage can closure element or beverage can closure element outwards in a radial direction; the opening tab or the beverage can closure element snaps into the dispensing opening and shuts the lid. The engaging rim can be a completely or partially circumferential rim, or consist of one or more projecting parts. A completely or partially circumferential reinforcing groove (e.g. in the form of an offset, a depression or an elevation) can ensure greater stability of the opening tab or beverage can closure element and improved engaging in the dispensing opening.

In the case of some embodiments of the invention, the reopening mechanism can involve use of a rupture lever (i.e. the lever used to break open the rupture line) as a reopening lever, whereby the rupture lever which was pivoted or folded back together with the opening tab or beverage can closure element is pressed downwards, whereby the snapped-in and locked rim is pressed inwards again and the curved surface, which is directed downwards in the snapped-in and locked state, is pressed upwards again. The opening tab or beverage can closure element releases itself from the dispensing opening in this manner. The opening tab or beverage can closure element can therefore be pivoted or folded back to permit further emptying of the beverage can. The curved surface, which was pressed downwards for locking, can also be less downwardly curving or even flat in the locked state.

Alternatively, the locking mechanism can consist of an embodiment of the dispensing opening rim which enables firm clamping or engaging of the opening tab or beverage can closure element or beverage can closure element in the dispensing opening during reclosure. The rim of the opening tab or beverage can closure element or beverage can closure element exhibits one or more lugs for locking in the dispensing opening.

Alternatively, the reopening mechanism can consist of one or more wings fixed to the opening tab or beverage can closure element or embodied as a single part with the opening tab or beverage can closure element. The wing(s) is/are manufactured from the same material as the opening tab or beverage can closure element or a material other than that of the opening tab or beverage can closure element.

The part of the opening tab or beverage can closure element which can reclose the dispensing opening should preferably have a level surface or a surface raised above the level surface. This surface protruding from the level surface can be a curved surface or a surface with multiple curves and can preferably constitute the cover element or a considerable part of the cover element.

Additionally, the upper side of the opening tab or beverage can closure element can, in terms of shape and surface quality, be designed so that it can be used for advertising purposes, images, logos, numbering, etc.

The invention also relates to a container with a closure element or lid according to the invention, whereby the container can be manufactured from an environmentally friendly material such as metal, preferably tinplate, or plastic or a combination of different materials. A container of this type can be used for beverages, granular or powdered products, sauces, nuts or other products.

Where the container is a beverage can, the lid, and particularly the opening tab or beverage can closure element, can exhibit a hole or several holes through which tubular objects (e.g. drinking straws) can be inserted.

The invention also encompasses a process for the manufacture of a lid, whereby the lid is initially pressed in a conventional manner, but forming the opening tab or beverage can closure element so that it can be inserted into the dispensing opening. The opening tab or beverage can closure element exhibits a circumferential rim in this respect which can snap into or engage in the dispensing opening, or be clamped firmly therein. Alternatively the rim of the opening tab or beverage can closure element can exhibit one or more lugs.

The invention also encompasses a process for opening, reclosing and reopening the container. The rupture lever, for example, can be pressed downwards for reopening, whereby the rim locked though snapping, engaging or clamping is released and the opening tab or beverage can closure element can be pivoted or folded back. Alternatively, one or more wings can be provided for opening and also reopening the container to enable release of the opening tab or beverage can closure element.

Although the invention relates in particular to a lid for a beverage can, other applications are also possible, e.g. as a beverage can closure element for temporarily closing bottles or similar containers or as a cover for objects such as camera lenses or similar.

A beverage can is usually made in two parts and has a beverage can lid 20.

The beverage can end 20 includes a substantially planar lid portion and an opening portion, which is enclosed by a predetermined breaking line.

When opening the beverage can, the opening portion is broken from the lid portion along the predetermined breaking line in a known way out, so that a removal opening 22 is formed.

The beverage can end 20 further includes a generally folded portion, with which the beverage can lid 20 is attached in a known manner to the beverage can body.

The beverage can lid 20 further includes usually between the lid section and the folded portion of a groove on which any spilled fluid picks up and prevents them from flowing back into the beverage can.

The beverage can is generally constructed in the substantially cylindrical and has a cylinder portion, which merges in the upper region in a tapered cone section.

This ensures that the cans are stacked in a known manner.

The frame part 10 has a frame 11 and an opening 12 in the cover 42 of the closure element 40 is accommodated, as shown in FIG. 13 to FIG. 15 shown.

Said frame part further comprises an extension 13 in which a rivet hole 14 and a through fault line 15 is provided, which are formed on a the person skilled in aperture plates in a known manner, that is to say in the extension 13 a through fault line 15 is provided which allows the to the beverage can lid 20 a beverage can attached beverage can closure element 99 enables it to be folded upwards to open the beverage can.

In order to open a beverage can it is possible to turn the frame element 10 along the frame 11 in order to bring it into the right opening position (if needed, because beverage cans are usually equipped and delivered with prepositioned opening elements) opened by lifting finger or finger nail in order to open up the existing drink-opening 22 in the beverage can lid 20.

The closure element 40 has an edge portion 41 and a cover 42, which is suitable for covering the opening formed by the removal opening 22 of the beverage can.

The closure element 40 further has an extension 43 which corresponds essentially to the extension 13 of the frame part 10 and in which a cut-out 44 is provided, substantially corresponding to the penetration line 15.

On the underside of the closure element 40 are clamping or Locking elements 46 provide the grip to lock the discharge opening 22 under or behind the beverage can lid 20.

The frame part may, for example be formed from metal, preferably from sheet metal.

An appropriate type of sheet metal can be chosen; preferably the same material from which the beverage can is designed of. As aluminum, steel, or a suitable metal alloy, wherein a predominantly non-elastic material is preferred.

The frame may have to increase its stiffness corresponding stiffeners, for example, buckles, ridges or beads or the like.

The closure part may be arranged in accordance with the invention, the entire surface in the frame part and inserted.

In this case, any type of connection known in the art may be used.

For example, the closure element and

Union end are connected by flanging the frame part.

The closure or

Insert element may also include metal and be formed for example from sheet metal, eg. As aluminum, steel or a metal alloy.

Preferably, it is formed of a resilient or elastic material.

It can, for example, plastic, rubber or a combination of materials (eg. As metal/plastic) cover, which may be formed sandwich.

The closure element or

Insert may be formed over the entire surface or fill the frame part only partially.
