A closure system for a container for liquids or bulk material includes a lid having an upper side, a lower side and a drinking orifice, a closure member for closing the drinking orifice that is positioned at a lower side of the lid and configured to cover an entire surface of the drinking orifice in a closed position, an operating member for manually opening the drinking orifice by a user positioned at the upper side of the lid and connected to the operating member, and at least one recess defined in the lid and disposed relative to the closure member such that, when the closure member is moved from the closed position via the operating member, the at least one recess is at least partially overlapped by the closure member such that a gas exchange occurs between an interior of the container and an environment.

Closure system for containers

A can lid for a can includes a lid panel with a pouring opening, an actuating element on an upper side of the lid panel, and a closure element disposed on a lower side of the lid panel which faces an interior of the can with the can lid attached thereto. The closure element is shiftable between a closed position, in which the closure element closes the pouring opening in a liquid-tight and/or gas-tight manner, and an open position, in which the pouring opening is at least partially uncovered, along the lid panel substantially translationally in a guided manner by the actuating element. The closure element and the actuating element are made of a metallic material and are fastened to one another by a riveted connection and/or a welded connection that moves along a guide slot in the lid panel during shifting of the closure element.

Can lid, can and method for manufacturing a can lid

A closure system for a beverage container includes a lid with upper and lower sides, a drinking orifice, a closure member for closing the drinking orifice, and an operating member for manually opening the drinking orifice by a user. The closure member is positioned at the lower side of the lid and fixedly connected with the operating member on the upper side of the lid, the closure member configured to overlap the drinking orifice in a closed position. A movement of the operating member in a first direction along a first axis substantially parallel to the upper side of the lid causes movement of the closure member from the closed position and opening of the drinking orifice, and a movement of the operating member along the first axis in a second direction causes movement of the closure member into the closed position and reclosure of the drinking orifice.
