ORNAMENTAL AND TEMPERATURE INDICATING CAN ENDS AND TABS

摘要

A metallic can end 10 for a container is described. A center panel 12 of the metallic can end 10 has a product side and a public side. A non-detachable tab 26 is staked to the center panel 12 by a rivet 28. The non-detachable tab 26 has a nose end 30 extending over a portion of a tear panel 20, a lift end 32 opposite the nose end 30, and a central webbing between the nose 30 and lift 32 ends. The webbing has a hinge region and a rivet island surrounding the rivet 28. The rivet island is at least partially surrounded by a first void region to provide a first exposed area of the center panel. A first temperature indicator 150 located on the non-detachable tab 26 has a first thermochromic material which undergoes a color change upon reaching a first predetermined temperature.
