A can lid of a can provided with an easily openable opening means is disclosed wherein the can lid is equipped with a can lid which is fastened by winding tightly on the can main body and the top end opening of the can main body, a score section installed around the territory of the prearranged opening area and a tab for severing the score section. In the can lid, there is formed a protrusion protruding upward from the can lid in front of the can opening during manufacturing of the can lid, in which it is a collapsing protrusion where the protrusion elastically deforms into the can main body by depressing motion of the user and thereby enables forming of a concave section for easy insertion of the user's finger.

1. A can end configured to be attached to a can body, the can end comprising: an end panel including a movable portion;a score line in the end panel defining an openable panel portion;a pull tab including a nose, a handle capable of being actuated such that the pull tab ruptures the score line, the pull tab is coupled to the end panel at a rivet that is disposed between the nose and the handle such that the handle overlays the movable portion of the end panel with the movable portion extending beyond a distal end of the handle;the entire movable portion is disposed on a side of the rivet opposite the nose, the movable portion is deformable between:an up position in which the movable portion is convex, as viewed from above the can end, such that a portion of the movable portion is spaced from a portion of the handle by a first narrow gap, anda down position in which the movable portion is concave, as viewed from above the can end, such that the movable portion is spaced apart from the handle forming a second gap between the handle and the movable portion, the second gap being wider than the first gap so as to facilitate access by a user's finger to the handle for actuating the handle;wherein the movable portion is deformable from the up position to the down position before the handle has been actuated and the score line is ruptured. 2. The can end of claim 1, wherein a periphery of the end panel defines a reference plane, the movable portion in its up position extends upwardly relative to the reference plane and the movable portion in its down position extends downwardly relative to the reference plane. 3. The can end of claim 1, wherein the deformation of the movable portion is elastic. 4. The can end of claim 1, wherein the movable portion when in the up position diminishes the likelihood of insertion of other ends between the moveable portion and the tab handle. 5. The can end of claim 1, wherein the movable portion, after being deformed to the down position, remains in the down position after the handle has been actuated and the score line is ruptured. 6. The can end of claim 1, wherein the movable portion is deformed from its up position to its down position after manufacturing of the end. 7. The can end of claim 6, wherein the movable portion is deformed from its up position to its down position by the user.
