Abstract
The invention pertains to a cover for a beverage can body () with an inner and an outer cover panel () that are spaced apart from one another (h) in the axial direction () such that an intermediate space () is formed which is able to accommodate an object () that is invisible from the outside—from a viewing direction toward the outer cover panel (). The inner cover panel () is connected to a mounting edge () via a curved section () that forms a peripheral groove () around the cover panel in order to realize the attachment to the beverage can body. The outer cover panel () is clamped relative to the inner cover panel () with an essentially radial force component (f) such that a clamping point () is formed in order to fix its axial distance (h) relative to the inner cover panel ().
