Patent ID: 8727164

Claim:
A resealable tab mechanism for accessing and storing the contents of a beverage container comprising: a) a beverage container having an end cap, a bottom side and a wall extending therebetween; b) said end cap having an aperture passing therethrough; and c) an end cap subjacent tab mechanism having a tab plate hinged to said end cap that is movable between a closed state, an open state and back to a closed state wherein said closed state hermetically seals a beverage within said beverage container and wherein said open state provides access to said beverage through said end cap aperture; d) said tab mechanism including a pivotable tab handle on said tab plate having divergent tab handle arms and a tab handle bar positioned between said tab handle arms; e) wherein pivoting of said tab handle in arc-like fashion until superjacently positioned relative to the end cap aperture further causes the tab plate downward movement to its open state whereupon when the tab handle is rotated back to its starting position the container is resealed thereby providing later access to the beverage container contents.
