A beverage can is provided with a tab having opening and sealing portions. The tab is riveted to the can lid in a central portion thereof with the opening portion being adjacent an openable area of the can lid which is defined by a continuous score line. The can is opened by lifting the sealing portion of the tab which causes downward movement of the opening portion which in turn impinges upon the openable area of the lid until an opening is formed. After forming the opening, the tab is rotated 180 degrees until the sealing recoverable portion is juxtaposed over the opening, thus covering the opening to keep out foreign matter. The tab is then pushed downwardly so that the sealing portion is fitted into the opening, thereby affecting a seal.

An easy opening beverage can resealable, recoverable tab comprising, a one piece body having a can opening portion and a can sealing recoverable portion, and attachment means for rotatably connecting the one piece body to a beverage can lid adjacent an openable portion of the lid, the attachment means providing both a vertical and horizontal rotational axis for the one piece body, whereby rotational movement of the one piece body about the horizontal rotational axis causes the can opening portion to move downwardly and impinge upon the openable portion of the can lid, thereby exerting opening force to create an opening, and whereby after forming an opening, rotational movement about the vertical rotational axis of the body by about 180 degrees causes the can sealing recoverable portion to be juxtaposed over the opening, to keep out foreign matter, and whereby the opening can be resealed by fitting and pushing downward the can sealing recoverable portion tightly into the opening, wherein the sealing recoverable portion of the one piece body has a countersunk bevelled portion having an outer side wall corresponding in shape to a peripheral edge of the can opening, the countersunk bevelled portion being insertable into the can opening and being held in the opening by an interference fit, wherein the can opening portion comprises an upwardly inclined pointed end of the one piece body.
