Abstract (en)
A can lid of the fully-open type has a disk-shaped panel (2), a score (3) notched endlessly in a surface of the panel along an outer circumferential edge of the panel, for forming an opening in the panel, and a tab (5) fixed to the panel by a rivet (4). The tab (5) is oriented in a direction lying substantially perpendicularly to an initial tear-off line (7) of the score. A surface of the panel which is concealed from view by the tab is printed with a circular mark (6) indicative of the direction (R) in which the panel has been rolled. The score is notched such that the rolling direction (R) of the panel lies substantially perpendicularly to the initial tear-off (7) line of the score (3). The panel (2) has an auxiliary score (8) defined in the surface thereof near the rivet (4) and positioned across the rivet (4) from the initial tear-off line (7) substantially parallel to the score (3) and separate therefrom.
