Abstract: The present invention relates to a closure for a container, comprising, a tab attached by rivet means to a closure part to be displaced for forming an opening in the closure, which opening is at least partly defined by a score line formed in the closure, the tab comprises a tab body connected to the rivet means, a tab rear part for finger gripping, and a tab front part of which a tab nose is located near or at the score line, such that during a closure opening procedure comprising finger gripping the tab rear part, lifting the tab rear part thereby pressing the tab nose against the closure on or near the score line, popping the score line, and scoring the score line thereby forming an opening in the closure, characterized by score line parts separated by a score line part to be popped by the tab nose, which score line parts are stronger than the popping score line part, and by stiffening means stiffening closure parts neighboring the stronger score line parts, and to a container provided with such closure.

Abstract: A panel for a container includes an outer edge to be connected to the container and a tab connected to the panel. The tab has a rear tab part for gripping by a user and a front tab part for engagement with the panel and forming an opening in the panel. The panel is provided with deformation means which structurally deform upon a transition of the panel into a convex shape and which locked in the deformed state urge the panel to a substantially flat or concave shape.

Abstract: The invention related to a can comprising a body provided with as panel and a tab connected to the panel, which tab has a front tab part and a rear tab part for gripping and filling and forming with the tab front part an opening in the panel along a panel score line, wherein the tab is in a third position due to a deformation of a tab-panel connection, to a panel and to a method of making the panel and/or can.

Abstract: Disclosed is a metal cover for a container body, in particular for a container such as a metal can, the cover including a removable portion (4) which is defined by a scoreline (5) and which is provided with an opening member (6). The scoreline (5) includes two upstream portions (55) and one downstream portion (56), provided on either side of a virtual axis (10). Each upstream portion (55) of the scoreline (5) includes a second section (522) including a residual thickness (E2) greater than a residual thickness (E1) of a first section (551); and the second section (552) extends over at least 20% of the length (L) of the upstream portion (55), a downstream end (5522) being provided within the upstream portion (55).

Abstract: A can having an easy opening panel includes a tab connected via a rivet structure to the panel. The tab comprises a tab rear part for gripping and actuation, and a tab front part for opening the can upon tab actuation. The panel includes at least beneath the tab front part a panel structure deformable upon can internal pressure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a can, comprising a body provided with a panel and a tab connected to the panel, which tab has a front tab part and a rear tab part for gripping and tilting and forming with the tab front part an opening in the panel along a panel score line, wherein the tab is in a tilted position due to a deformation of a tab-panel connection, to a panel and to a method of making the panel and/or can.

Abstract: The invention relates to a can having an easy opening panel comprising a tab connected via a rivet structure to the panel, wherein the tab comprises a tab rear part for gripping and actuation, and a tab front part for opening the can upon tab actuation, wherein the panel comprises at least beneath the tab front part a panel structure deformable upon can internal pressure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a can, comprising a body provided with a panel, wherein the panel is provided with a tab comprising a front tab part and a rear tab part for gripping in forming by engagement of the front tab part with the panel of an opening in the panel, wherein the panel is provided with a flip panel area at least beneath the rear tab part, which panel area forms a depression beneath the rear tab part dependent on a negative pressure difference over the panel, and to a body and panel for such can.

Abstract: The invention relates to an easy opening closure, comprising a closure having a folding rim and a circumferential score line having a score residual (t) the thickness of the closure in the score line, enclosing a removable central closure part; and a tab connected to the central closure part, which score line has a pop zone in which the tap pops a section of the central closure along the score line and the pop zone comprising a pop ignition zone adjacent to the tab, in clock-wise and anti-clock-wise direction subsequent tear zones in which using the tab the central closure part is torn off from the closure along the score line and eventually looses from the closure, wherein the tear zones comprise each a tear ignition zone adjacent the respective pop zone, and wherein the score residual (t) the tear ignition zones is reduced relative to the score residual in the pop ignition zone, to a container, provided with such easy opening closure and to an apparatus for producing the same.
