Abstract: Embodiments of mechanisms for resealing a can are disclosed. The mechanisms are adaptable to cans currently on the market. The mechanisms can be marketed as a stand alone (i.e., a post-purchase product), or alternatively, they can be applied by a manufacture (e.g., a cola bottling or canning company) to existing cans (e.g., during a filling stage of the manufacturing process or at another point in the process). In the embodiment, a can resealing mechanism includes an inner and outer flange configured to engage inner and outer surfaces of the can and the rivet and bent down flap portion of the can.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for re-closing an opening in a can having a tab opener. The device comprises a mount piece having an overall shape and flexibility that enables it to be pushed through at least one aperture formed in the tab opener thereby securing the device to the tab opener. The device further comprises a plug portion attached to the mount piece and configured to engage and at least partially close an opening in the can.

Abstract: An improved dispensing apparatus having a container sized to receive a pre-determined quantity of pourable material, and a pouring spout rotatably secured to the side of the container by an O-ring closely received in first and second complimentary grooves disposed between the pouring spout and the container side. The pouring spout preferably is of tubular configuration, with the elongated dispensing portion of a cross-sectional area of a larger size than the aperture in the side of the container. The elongated dispensing portion of the elongated pouring spout is preferably substantially the height of the container side, and is of non-circular cross section. A cap is threadably secured to the dispensing end of the pouring spout, and a seal may be adhesively secured to the dispensing end of the spout. The pouring spout may be sized to serve as an expansion chamber for the fluid in the container.
