Plastic lid for opened drinks can has rim that grips edge of can, projection to seal opening and tongue to facilitate removal

摘要

The plastic lid (1) to cover and seal the top of an opened can, such as a drinks can (6), has a rim (2) shaped to grip the upper edge (9) of the can, a projection (3) on its underside to seal the opening in the top (7) of the can left after removing a seal, and a tongue (5) to facilitate removal of the lid. The lid is made from a thermoplastic polymer material that is sufficiently rigid to stay in place and apply a pressure to the projection, which is of a supple elastomer material.
