Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008156420A1] A container in the form of a sheet-metal can with removable sheet-metal lid for the closure and exposure of a storage space for a goods item. The lid is secured against accidental opening by means of an elastic plastics locking ring (24), which is constructed as an annularly closed profile having a substantially U-shaped portion forming a downwardly open annular channel that encloses the circumferential edge portion of the lid and the opening edge portion of the can and secures the lid and with an annular bead (29) engages below a radially projecting portion (12) of the opening edge portion (6) of the can. The locking ring (24) has a weakening point (34), which can be broken open for opening of the container when the weakening point (34) is exposed to breaking forces exceeding a fixed maximum load in the handling of the container, and the locking ring has a point of engagement (37), situated in the proximity of the weakening point, for a breaking tool (38) so as to be able with a rocking motion to break open the locking ring at the weakening point, which normally is not visible to the eye. The point of engagement (37) for a breaking tool (38) is constituted by a protrusion of the locking ring (24), situated on the outer side of the ring below the engagement bead of the ring. The protrusion extends close to the lower edge of the skirt and has an opening which is open at least in the downward direction.
