Claim 13:
14. A method for manufacturing a can lid for a can, comprising the following steps:
providing a lid panel configured to delimit an upper side of the can, in particular by crimping an outer circumferential edge of the lid panel to a lateral wall of the can, the lid panel having at least one pouring opening, through which a substance present in the can can be poured out, and a guide slot;
providing an actuating element and a closure element made of a metallic material;
disposing the closure element on a lower side of the lid panel, the lower side facing an interior of the can when the can lid is attached thereto;
disposing the actuating element on an upper side of the lid panel, the upper side facing away from an interior of the can when the can lid is attached thereto;
fastening the closure element and the actuating element to one another by a connection, the connection being movable along the guide slot, a distance between the actuating element and the closure element in an area of the connection being non-variable;
wherein the closure element is shiftable in a guided manner by the actuating element between a closed position, in which the closure element closes the pouring opening in a liquid-tight and/or gas-tight manner, and an open position, in which the closure element at least partially uncovers the pouring opening, along the lid panel substantially translationally in a straight line parallel to a plane in which the lid panel extends.
