<p>A reclosable ring-pull opener (20) for a can (22) has a grippable ring (28). A closure (32) underlies the ring and extends above the top wall in parallel overlying relation to the top wall. The closure has a peripheral flange (34) and a downwardly depending skirt (37). A connecting nose (54) extends in folded, connecting relation from a peripheral edge (56) of the ring to an underlying peripheral edge (58) of the closure. A rivet (44) passes through the closure to movably mount the main body (27) on the top wall (26) of the can for upwardly directed, hinging movement of the ring toward the vertical, and for downward movement of the nose into opening urging contact with a scored, region (38), thereby to open the can. The rivet also mounts the main body atop the can for rotatable movement in the plane of the top wall to a position whereat the skirt overlies the opening, and for downwardly directed, movement of the closure, thereby releasably sealing the can.</p> |
