Abstract:
1. A cover for a beverage can body, wherein said cover comprises an inner and an outer cover panel that are spaced apart from one another in an axial direction to form an intermediate space adapted to accommodate a physical object that is invisible from the outside from a viewing direction toward the outer cover panel; wherein (a) the inner cover panel is connected to a mounting edge via a curved section that forms a peripheral groove around the cover panel, the edge adapted for an attachment to the beverage can body; (b) the outer cover panel is clamped relative to the inner cover panel with an essentially radial force component forming a clamping point on a narrow peripheral strip between the mounting edge and the curved section to fix an axial distance of the outer cover panel relative to the inner cover panel; and (c) wherein the wall section forms part of a cover wall that extends at an incline relative to the axial direction, and wherein the wall section comprises the narrow peripheral strip that is oriented essentially parallel to the axial direction and has an upper and a lower shoulder, the upper shoulder merging into the inclined cover wall and the lower shoulder merging into an outer wall section of the peripheral groove.
