Abstract: The beverage can closure comprises a can, a sliding cover, and a cover retainer. The sliding cover may be located on the top of the can. The sliding cover may slide along a cover retainer on a rim of the can such that the sliding cover may be moved over an opening of the can to prevent insects or debris from entering the can. The sliding cover may be moved away from the opening in order to drink from the can. As non-limiting examples, the cover retainer may be a track or a ridge on the rim of the can that retains the distal edge of the sliding cover. The proximal edge of the sliding cover may be retained by a tab and/or a rivet located at the center top of the can.
