CONTAINER END WITH PRE-BULGE

摘要

A container end having a permanently attached tear strip is disclosed herein. The tear strip has opposite ends with one end located adjacent the periphery of the main body of the end which has a rim extending above the main body around the periphery. A tab is connected to the tear strip adjacent the periphery of the end. The main body and the tab have a transverse bend that extends across the tear strip and the tab adjacent the connection to produce a bulge that extends towards the outside of the container end which will maintain the tab flat against the end after the end has been inserted on a container and pressurized during filling.
