Abstract

A sealing cover and a soda can combination wherein the cover is snap-fitted onto a conventional soda can. The cover is of a flat top construction and has a skirt attached to an inner surface of the cover and depending therefrom to thereby form a recess between the skirt and a depending outer sleeve formed on the cover. The depending skirt has a slanted lip at a lower end thereof when the cover is snap-fitted onto the can. At the same time the top of the bead will seat itself in a bottom of the recess that is formed between the depending skirt and the depending outer sleeve This will form a double seal to prevent the carbonation from escaping once the content of the can is partially consumed and the can is resealed with the sealing cover.
