Abstract
A metallic or composite container (2) comprising a side forming a partly openable lid (4) having a fixed part in which an opening panel (16a) is delimited by a line of reduced strength (8), a connection zone (15) however remaining between the fixed part and the panel so that, by exerting on the panel a pressure in a direction toward the interior of the container, the line of reduced strength (8) is ruptured and the panel is swung toward the interior of the container about the connection zone (15). The fixed part of the lid is so shaped as to define a cavity extending toward the interior of the container, the cavity having a lateral wall (12) and a bottom wall in which the opening panel (16a) is at least partly formed.
