Abstract:
A sheet metal lid has a rim portion removably secured and sealed to a container and the lid includes a vent button having a top wall portion surrounded by a side wall portion and an outwardly projecting flange portion. The flange portion of the button has a short arcuate score or shear line extending substantially into the sheet metal, and additional score lines extend into the flange portion at lesser depths to protect a coating on the inner surface of the lid. A resilient sealant material may be bonded to the inner surface of the vent button, and the opposing sheet metal portions of the score line form a small gap for releasing a vacuum or pressure from the container in response to a controlled downward pressure on the top wall portion of the vent button.

Claim (Index 2):
A lid as defined in  claim 1  wherein the shear line extends completely through the sheet metal and forms opposing portions for defining the gap, and the opposing portions of the sheet metal being axially compressed to be substantially flush with the sheet metal adjacent the shear line.
