Abstract
A frangible seal breaking and aperture resealing device for a beverage container which utilizes a handle being pivotally mounted on the top of the beverage container. The handle is movable from a stowage position to a frangible seal breaking position and then to an aperture resealing position. There is incorporated on the top a camming protuberance which has the function of locating the handle in an inclined or canted position so as to facilitate its movement to frangibly separate a break-away tab incorporated within the top of the beverage container. The camming protuberance also exerts a biasing force tending to maintain the handle in the resealing position.
