Abstract
An end cover or closure for an accurate pour style container that is particularly well suited for use with non-viscous liquids has included thereon a displaceable portion proximate the periphery which prescribes an opening in the cover that is size-limited by means of a short score in the panel having reversely-curled ends, there being a non-detachable pull tab attached to said displaceable portion with a pull ring for the tab disposed radially inwardly from the point of tab attachment; the tab and the displaceable portion of the cover when opened being adapted to pivot through about 90.degree. with the tab then assuming a thus stopped position generally perpendicular to the container end panel adjacently neighboring the side wall of the enclosed container so that the extended open tab can thereupon function as a very effective and efficient pour guide for effluent during container discharge. Safety features tending to resist hand opening by means of hold-down nibs of the so-called 'child-resistant' type may advantageously be incorporated in the pull ring design.
