Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a lid attachment for a metal can (400) having an open upper end with a flange (410) forming an annular upper face (411) and an outwardly curved flange edge (412), wherein the lid attachment comprises a unitary plastic part (100) comprising a snap-on ring (105) with an abutment surface (101) and a sealing surface (102) and an adhesive applied to the sealing surface wherein an axial distance between the abutment surface and the sealing surface corresponds to the axial distance between the flange edge and the upper face of the metal can wherein the lid attachment is designed for such that the abutment surface initially expands when the lid attachment is attached to a can and the abutment surface springs back behind the flange edge when fully attached. The invention further relates to a method of attaching a lid to a metal can.
