Claim:
A lid for a beverage can, said lid having a lid plate, in which a breakout portion is formed, and an opener tab, which is provided with a pressing portion and a gripping portion and also with a fastening tongue, which is arranged in a cutout of the opener tab and has a foot formed onto the pressing portion and with which the opener tab is pivotably fastened at a fastening stud of the lid plate next to the breakout portion, which can be pressed down and thereby broken out in an opener pivoted position of the opener tab by the pressing portion by means of lifting the gripping portion, so that in the lid plate there is produced an opening which is bounded by a bounding rim and can be re-closed in a closure pivoted position of the opener tab by a closure attachment, which, by means of a depression being formed into the gripping portion protrudes on the underside of the gripping portion at an angle from a covering collar, wherein the fastening tongue is formed in an elongated manner and has between its foot and the fastening stud a twisting portion, and the closure attachment is formed in a flat manner and has adjoining the covering collar a surrounding surface which corresponds in its outline to the opening, so that the gripping portion can be pressed down in the closure pivoted position of the opener tab into a closed position, in which the closure attachment engages in the opening substantially to the extent that the covering collar rests on the bounding rim of the opening, a receiving depression being formed into the upper side of the lid plate for receiving said closure attachment in the opener pivoted position of the opener tab, so that a protruding formation is formed on the underside of the plate, wherein the bounding rim of the opening is bounded by a reinforcing annular bead formed as a depression into the upper side of the lid plate and a reinforcing lateral bead is formed as a depression into the upper side of the lid plate on each of both sides of the fastening stud and opens out into the annular bead and ends on a reinforcing shoulder of said protruding formation reinforcing the lid plate in a region adjacent to the fastening stud, wherein a finger clearance in the form of a depression is formed into the lid plate on the side of the opening remote from the fastening stud as a convex extension of the annular bead, the finger clearance protruding beyond the covering collar of the gripping portion in the closure pivoted position of the opener tab.
