  • Publication number: 20030132230
    Abstract: A pull tab opener for a container having a push-in closure is articulated at a crease line behind the rivet connecting the tab to the container top surface. At least one protrusion extends upwardly from the base of the tab so that, when the rear lever portion is articulated about the crease line, to an amount at least in the range of 110° to 160°, and interference between the at least one protrusion and a cooperating face portion occurs, and the push-in closure is opened. There may also be cooperating protrusions. Another embodiment provides an undercut notch at each end of the crease line in the tubular peripheral edge of the pull tab opener.

  • Patent number: 6575325
    Abstract: A pull tab opener for a container having a push-in or fully severable closure is articulated at a crease line behind the rivet connecting the tab to the container top surface. At least a pair of protrusions extends upwardly from the base of the tab so that, when the rear lever portion is pivoted about the crease line, the opposed front faces of the protrusions contact each other, and the elastic memory of the tab is overcome so that the tab is articulated into a bent condition. The tab may then be re-grasped for easy opening of the container, without having to initiate opening leverage of the tab using the fingernail.
