Abstract

L'invention concerne un contenant de boisson ou une canette de boisson (10) comprenant un corps creux (12) doté d'une extrémité ouverte, et un opercule (16). L'opercule comprend un élément volet comportant une partie principale et une partie (20) partiellement ou entièrement découpable afin de réaliser une ouverture de distribution (38). L'opercule a un élément de fermeture (67) situé dans l'opercule ou à l'intérieur du contenant et est mobile par rapport à l'élément volet. L'élément de fermeture a une saillie (114) permettant d'entrer en prise avec la partie (20) consécutivement au découpage et le pliage de la partie découpée (20) amène l'élément de fermeture à tourner pour placer un élément de préhension (49) en l'amenant à passer par l'orifice. L'élément de préhension (49) doit permettre à un utilisateur de déplacer sélectivement l'élément de fermeture (67) pour fermer le passage d'écoulement d'une boisson par l'ouverture de distribution ou pour ouvrir le passage de distribution. Un élément de scellement est également appliqué sur l'élément de fermeture entourant l'ouverture (38) afin de créer un joint.
