Abstract
An improved non-detachable easy-opening end closure wherein the pull tab includes an integral strap member co-operating with the tab attachment rivet to limit the angular displacement of the tab relative to the opening flap, whereby the tab protrusion of the opened end closure is minimized and the tab is more securely attached to the end panel and which also functions to cause the tab and flap to move into the container during opening to a position where it is non-obstructive.
