Resealable pop top lid

A pop top lid for enclosing a top opening in a cylindrical fluid container, the pop top lid comprising:

• a. an end shell having an off-center scored line defining a tear panel;
• b. a stay-on tab assembly;
• c. a rivet that attaches the stay-on tab assembly to the end shell for rotation;
• d. the stay-on tab assembly comprising:
• i. a pocketed tang comprising a central portion having a pivot hole that receives the rivet and having a top cover and a bottom plate spaced by a gap on a leading edge;
• ii. an aperture point attached to the pocketed tang and rotatably positionable proximate to an inner edge of the scored line;
• iii. a shearing edge attached to the central portion and radially extending behind the aperture point in a first direction of rotation about the pivot hole;
• e. wherein the bottom plate is embossed to a shape that allows the shearing edge to slide into the tear panel opening and under the end shell wall, and rotation of the pocketed tang with the bottom plate clamps the end shell wall and places the embossed shape firmly into the tear panel opening, thereby enabling a resealing clamp action.
