Abstract
A resealable lid for beverage cans is provided. The can has a press-in tab for opening the pouring opening thereof via a press-in tip. A rotating lid is secured to the same pin or rivet as the press-in tab, and is rotatable over the pouring opening. When the rotating lid is over the pouring opening, and the press-in tab is pulled up, a support leg thereof catches against an arresting member on the surface of the can. In the catching position of the leg, the press-in tip of the press-in tab presses the rotating lid against the pouring opening.
