  • the frame part 10 can be rotated on the frame 11 into the correct orientation (if necessary, because beverage cans are usually delivered with opening tabs already suitably oriented) and lifted with a fingernail or finger in order to release a removal opening 22 present in the beverage can lid 20 .

  • Clamping or locking elements 46 are provided on the underside of the closure element 40 , which engage under or behind the beverage can lid 20 for locking the removal opening 22 .
  • This two-part design of the beverage can closure element 99 has the advantage that the frame part 10 can be made relatively stiff in order to ensure easy opening of the removal opening 22 and to provide the closure part 40 with support, while at the same time the closure part 40 can be made relatively elastic in order to to allow the removal opening 22 to be securely closed and reopened.

  • the beverage can closure element can also not be designed as part of the opening mechanism.
  • the break-through line 15 can be omitted because it is then no longer necessary for the beverage can closure element to be designed so that it can be bent upwards.
  • the removal opening 22 can be closed with the cover member 42 as follows: By pressing a finger on the cover member 42 of the beverage can closure member 99, the cover member from its in the Figures 5 and 6 shown upward curved shape is converted into a downward curved shape. In other words, the cover member 42 is transitioned from one stable equilibrium to another stable equilibrium. In the downwardly curved shape, the cover member 42 tends to settle into as relaxed a shape as possible, in which the cover member is curved downwardly about as much as it was previously, as in FIGS Figures 5 and 6 shown was arched upwards. This forces the locking members 46 upwards against the lid section of the beverage can lid 20 . Since the cover element 42 of the beverage can closure element 99 cannot fully achieve the relaxed, downwardly curved shape because the locking elements 46 abut against the beverage can lid, the beverage can closure element 99 is braced against the beverage can lid 20 by means of the locking elements 46 .
