Abstract
Easy-opening container wall structure having a non-removable and selectively separable openable member to which is attached an opening tab member. A portion of the opening tab member can be manually displaced outwardly from the container wall, thereby forcing another portion of the opening tab member against the container wall to initiate separation of the openable member. The opening tab member thereafter transmits inwardly-directed manual pressure to complete separation of the openable member, and to retain the opening tab member from unrestricted movement into the container. The periphery of the separated openable member co-acts with the periphery of the opening in the container wall to retain the separated openable member on the container.
