Abstract
A can end comprising an angled disk that descends from the rim of a beverage can, into the cavity of the beverage can at an angle. The can end comprises an angle of preferably 15-degrees to allow for a user to comfortably drink from the beverage can without the angled disk of the can end, touching the nose of the user. The can end includes a tab, a rivet, and a lid wherein a normal force applied to the tab will punch out the lid to reveal an opening wherein liquid may exit through the can end.

A can end for a beverage can comprising:
- an angled disk;
- a rim;
- a wall;
- a tab;
- a beverage can;
- and
- an opening
- wherein:
- the angled disk is a circular disk;
- the wall comprising an upper edge and a lower edge wherein the upper edge of the wall is adjacent to the rim, and the lower edge of the wall is adjacent to the angled disk;
- the wall further traversing the circumference of the angled disk, extending upward, thus interposed between the rim and the angled disk;
- the angled disk is positioned below the rim such that the angled disk extends downwardly at a constant angle from a point adjacent to the rim to the lower edge of the wall;
- the beverage can comprises a cavity;
- the angle disk and the wall descending into the cavity of the beverage can;
- the angle being greater than zero-degrees and less than 90-degrees;
- the opening is a hole through the angled disk;
- the opening is vertically offset from the tab such that the opening is proximate a portion of the angled disk comprising a highest elevation;
- and
- the wall comprises a varying height about the circumference of the angled disk such that the height of the wall proximate the opening is less than the height of the wall proximate a lowest point of the wall.
