Abstract
A can lid that comprises an opening region provided in the material of the lid surface and comprises a two-armed lever member that is intended to open this opening region and that is connected to the lid material, wherein this arrangement is characterized in that the opening region configured as a tongue tab is delineated from the lid surface by a tear line and the tongue tab base connected to the lid surface forms a pivot bearing that becomes effective during the opening procedure; in that the lower side of the lid is coated with a plastic material in a firmly adhering manner, and this coating of the tear line that covers the tear line is weakened in an adjacent manner; and in that the container part and the can lid at least substantially comprise the same aluminum alloy.
Claims20
A can comprising a cylindrical container part and a can lid, the can lid being sealingly connected to the cylindrical container part via a folding joint and the can lid having a bounding opening region provided in a lid material of the lid surface, and the can lid comprising a two-armed lever member intended for opening this opening region, said lever member being fixedly connected to the lid material, wherein the opening region configured as a tongue tab is delineated from the lid surface by a tear line in the form of a material weakening or of an at least partial material perforation extending over the tab periphery and with a base of the tongue tab connected to the lid surface forming a pivot bearing that becomes effective during the opening procedure;
- wherein the lower side of the lid is coated with a coating or film of plastic material in a firmly adhering manner, and this coating or film covering the tear line is weakened adjacent to the tear line between the tongue tab and the lid surface;
- and wherein the container part and the can lid at least substantially comprise the same aluminum alloy.
A can lid comprising part of a folding joint configured to be connected to a can, the can lid further comprising a bounding opening region provided in a lid material of the lid surface, and comprising a two-armed lever member intended for opening this opening region, said lever member being fixedly connected to the lid material, wherein the opening region configured as a tongue tab is delineated from the lid surface by a tear line in the form of a material weakening or of an at least partial material perforation extending over the tab periphery and with a base of the tongue tab connected to the lid surface forming a pivot bearing that becomes effective during the opening procedure;
- wherein the lower side of the lid is coated with a coating or film of plastic material in a firmly adhering manner, and this coating or film covering the tear line is weakened adjacent to the tear line between the tongue tab and the lid surface;
- and wherein the container part and the can lid at least substantially comprise the same aluminum alloy, wherein the can lid is configured as a separate component that is designed for the subsequent leak tight connection to the can that substantially comprises the same material.
