<p>The present invention concerns a can for containing a liquid and comprising a top end, said top end comprising:
(a) A dispense area (3A) defined on said top end by a first score line (31A),
(b) A pull tab (2) coupled to the top end by a rivet (4), said pull tab (2) comprising a puncturing end (21) suitable for breaking the first score line (31A) and pushing into the interior of the can without detaching the dispense area (3A) to open a dispense aperture (13A) upon lifting an opposite actuating end (22) of said pull tab away from the top end,
(c) A vent area (3B) defined on said top end by a second score line (310B) separate from the first score line (31A) and positioned on the opposite side of the rivet as the first dispense area (3A), Characterized in that , the first and second score lines (31A, 31B) are separated from one another by at least one torsion stripe (5) of the can top material suitable for acting as a hinge by torsion upon lifting the actuating end (22) of the pull tab (2) away from the can top, such that as the dispense aperture (1 3A) is being opened by pushing the dispense area (3A) into the interior of the can, a vent aperture (13B) is opened by pulling the vent area (3B) outwards from the can top end.</p> |
