Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0538094A1] The subject of the invention is a metal or composite container (2) including a face forming a cover (4) with a partial opening comprising a fixed part in which an opening panel (16) is bounded by a line of weakness (8), a linking area (15) remaining, however, between the fixed part and the panel, so that by exerting, on the panel, pressure directed towards the inside of the container, the line of weakness (8) is broken and the panel is folded back towards the inside of the container around the linking area (15). The fixed part of the cover is shaped to delimit a cavity extending towards the inside of the container, the said cavity including a lateral wall (12) and a bottom in which the opening panel (16) is at least partially formed. <IMAGE>
