Abstract
This device consists primarily of a pivotable tab, which normally rests within a well recessed in the top of a can, the tab being lifted upwards from the well portion, when it is desired to open the can of liquid. The tab portion is provided with nipples, which will enable the tab, when rotated, to align with a scored line on the top of the can, which when cut out by pressing the tab downwards, will enable the liquid to be dispensed from the can.
