  • Patent number: 8770425
    Abstract: A beverage can with a rotating lid (2) is attached to a rivet (5) in the can lid (D) and can be turned from an open rotating position to a closed rotating position above the pouring opening (7) and back. The rotating lid (2) at least partially takes the form of a bent snap disk (S) that can be moved by the application of force perpendicular to the lid plane, which bends the disk past a trigger point, from a stable first bending state into a stable second bending state in which the outer rim (10) of the rotating lid (2) is pressed against the rim lid (9) that delimits the pouring opening (7) with a certain closing pressure. The snap disk (S) moves back into its first bending state by re-applying force.
