Abstract (en)

Removable closure device (1) for metal containers comprising a lid (2) delimited by a peripheral edge (20); a tab (3) having a connecting end (31) connected to the lid (2) near a first portion (21) of the peripheral edge (20) and extending along a longitudinal direction (X-X) towards a second portion (22) of the peripheral edge (20) opposite the first portion (21), and having a grip end (32) opposite the connecting end (31) located between the first and the second portions (21,22) of the peripheral edge (20); two stiffening elements (4) placed on the lid (2) on opposite sides with respect to the tab (3), each of which comprises: an inner wall (4a) having a first curved section (41) closely surrounding the grip end (32) of the tab (3) and having the concavity facing the tab (3), and an outer wall (4b) extending along the longitudinal direction (X-X) between a first and a second tip (44), respectively facing the first and the second portions (21,22) of the peripheral edge (20). The tangents (T-T) to the outer walls (4b) of each stiffening element (4) at the second tip (45) converge near the second portion (22) of the peripheral edge (20).
