Abstract
A lid is provided for mounting on an annular lip around the top of a can. The lid includes a shell, a lid-retaining portion, and a hook-shaped load-distributing member. The shell has an inner wall and the lid-retaining portion is appended to the inner wall of the shell and positioned to engage the annular lip to hold the lid in place on the can. The hook-shaped load-distributing member is appended to the inner wall of the shell and is positioned to hook onto and engage the annular lip lying around the top of the can. The hook-shaped load-distributing member functions to distribute an external compression load applied to the lid from the lid to the can.
