Abstract:
An end closure for food and beverage containers is provided. The end closure comprises a central panel with a large opening defined by a score line and a safety fold positioned proximate at least a portion of said score line. The end closure further comprises a ring pull tab operably interconnected to the central panel proximate to a peripheral edge of the central panel. Prior to opening the end closure, a tail end of the ring pull tab is positioned over the tear panel. In some embodiments, the tear panel may completely detach from the end closure upon opening.

Claim (Index 10):
A metallic end closure with an enlarged detachable tear panel, comprising:\n a peripheral curl which is adapted for interconnection to a neck of a beverage container; a chuck wall extending downwardly from said peripheral curl; a central panel having a perimeter and a center point which is located at an intersection of a vertical axis and a horizontal axis, wherein said perimeter of said central panel is interconnected to said chuck wall; a score line in said central panel which defines the enlarged detachable tear panel, said score line having a first linear leg interconnected by a first radius of curvature to a second linear leg which is interconnected to a third leg by a second radius of curvature, said third leg is interconnected to said first linear leg by a third radius of curvature which is substantially the same as the second radius of curvature; a safety fold in said central panel, wherein said safety fold is positioned proximate at least a portion of said score line; a ring pull tab having a nose end and a tail end, wherein said ring pull tab is operably interconnected to said tear panel at an interconnection point positioned a distance away from said center point on said vertical axis and positioned between said center point and said perimeter of said central panel such that no portion of said interconnection point is on said center point; a first substantially linear bead raised a first height above said central panel and positioned substantially parallel to said first linear leg of said score line; and a second substantially linear bead raised a second height above said central panel and positioned substantially parallel to said second linear leg of said score line, and wherein said first bead and said second bead are positioned outside an outer perimeter of said ring pull tab.
