  1. Panneau supérieur de fermeture (20) pour fermer le haut d'un conteneur ouvert dans le haut, le panneau ayant au moins un orifice (56), chacun destiné à recevoir une partie d'un article contenu dans le conteneur, et ayant un élément déchirable (37) pour agrandir ledit au moins un orifice, l'élément déchirable comportant des fentes (37) espacées radialement les unes des autres, réparties autour dudit au moins un orifice et orientées transversalement par rapport à un trait de repérage radial correspondant audit au moins un orifice, caractérisé en ce que lesdites fentes (37) sont organisées en une pluralité de groupes distincts, les groupes étant répartis sur le pourtour de l'au moins un orifice, l'au moins un orifice (56) étant muni de moyens d'amorçage pour amorcer le déchirage du panneau disposés entre l'au moins un orifice et chaque groupe de fentes (37), les moyens d'amorçage comportant une ligne prédécoupée présente sensiblement sur le trait radial de repérage, grâce à quoi le fait de retirer un article par l'au moins un orifice (56) amène une déchirure à être guidée radialement vers l'extérieur depuis la ligne prédécoupée sur ledit trait de repérage radial depuis l'au moins un orifice jusqu'à la fente la plus proche (37) appartenant audit groupe et à se propager d'une manière divergente depuis une extrémité de ladite fente la plus proche jusqu'à des fentes radialement adjacentes successives appartenant à ce groupe, en provoquant de ce fait un agrandissement progressif de l'au moins un orifice.
  2. Panneau supérieur de fermeture (20) selon la revendication 1, dans lequel chaque groupe de fentes distinct (37) comporte au moins deux fentes, la fente la plus éloignée de l'au moins un orifice (56) étant plus longue qu'une fente la plus proche de l'au moins un orifice.

  8. Flan pour former un panneau supérieur de fermeture (20) servant à fermer le haut d'un conteneur ouvert dans le haut, le panneau ayant au moins un orifice (56), chacun destiné à recevoir une partie d'un article contenu dans le conteneur, et ayant un élément déchirable (37) pour agrandir ledit au moins un orifice, l'élément déchirable comportant des fentes (37) espacées radialement les unes des autres, réparties autour dudit au moins un orifice et orientées transversalement par rapport à un trait de repérage radial correspondant audit au moins un orifice, caractérisé en ce que lesdites fentes (37) sont organisées en une pluralité de groupes distincts, les groupes étant répartis sur le pourtour de l'au moins un orifice, l'élément déchirable comportant en outre un moyen d'amorçage qui s'étend perpendiculairement à un bord de l'au moins un orifice (56) et vers le groupe de fentes (37), le moyen d'amorçage comportant une ligne prédécoupée qui s'étend radialement sur le trait radial de repérage, grâce à quoi, dans une configuration, le fait de retirer un article du carton par l'au moins un orifice (56) amène une déchirure à être guidée radialement vers l'extérieur depuis la ligne d'amorçage prédécoupée sur ledit trait de repérage radial depuis l'au moins un orifice jusqu'à la fente la plus proche appartenant audit groupe et à se propager d'une manière divergente depuis une extrémité de ladite fente la plus proche jusqu'à des fentes radialement adjacentes successives appartenant à ce groupe, en provoquant de ce fait un agrandissement progressif de l'au moins un orifice.
