  • Patent number: 4681238
    Abstract: A resealable, anti-litter-type pop top beverage container wherein a rotatable tab member can be raised to depress a sealing member into the interior of the container to fully expose the lid opening for drinking or the like. The sealing member includes a second resealing lobe integral therewith and responsive to the rotation of the tab in a first direction for positioning the resealing tab beneath the lid opening and resealing the opening in an air-tight manner to prevent the escape of gases therefrom thereby preventing the beverage stored therein from going flat. The second or resealing member is also responsive to the rotation of the tab member in the opposite direction for unseating the resealing member and reexposing the lid opening to enable the remaining stored liquid contained therein to be drunk or poured therefrom.
