2137562 9325445 PCTABS00028 An integral beverage can closure embodiment (50) having a sealed position for sealing the contents of an opened beverage can (30) and a dispensing position for dispensing the contents is disclosed. A resilient cap (52) with a skirt (54) closely fits over the can rim. The cap defines a tongue (56) that folds over a hinge (82) and is inserted in a slot (60) of the skirt. Both the tongue and the cap have dispensing apertures (64, 68) and vents (66, 70). When the apertures and vents align, the beverage may be dispensed. The can is sealed when the apertures and vents are displaced. The tongue is caused to move between the sealed and dispensing positions by pressing down, with a finger or thumb of the hand holding the can, on a knurled portion (86) of the tongue. In an embodiment (250), the tongue defines a lever (282) configured to be spaced from the beverage can to facilitate gripping the can and lever together. Applying force to the lever moves the tongue between sealed and dispensing positions.
