Abstract
A beverage can is provided with an improved sanitary reclosable lid assembly comprising a top disk and a bottom disk both attached to the side walls of the can. An aperture is provided in the bottom disk and the top disk is provided with structure in the form of a depression or a stopper to close the aperture. A tear score line is defined in the top disk to define a flap including the closure structure. A pull-ring is attached to the flap to pull back the flap to open the aperture in the lower disk. The flap can then be replaced in its original position to reclose the aperture.
