Patent ID: 8534485

Claim:
A lid for a can, comprising: a wall having a main plane with a center, and an inclined depression tilted relative to the main plane of the lid, the depression including a deepest part; a score line defining a tear-out portion; and a pull tab arranged on the tear-out portion, having a ring-shaped free end, the free end including a center portion; wherein, the free end of the pull tab ends before the center of the wall; and the depression extends beyond the center of the wall; and the pull tab extends at least partially over the depression such that the deepest part of the depression is beneath the center of the ring-shaped portion of the pull tab, so that when a plurality of lids are arranged in a stack, each pull tab would register with the depression of the lid above or below it, resulting in a stack of vertical and parallel lids in which the pull tabs face in alternating opposite directions.
