Abstract
The present invention relates to an opening device for a can, which is constructed such that the contents of the can flow out and exterior air is simultaneously introduced into the can. The opening device of the present invention comprises first and second opening portions 122 and 124 through which the contents flow out and the exterior air is introduced into the can upon opening thereof, respectively, and which are disposed to be opposite to each other at both sides of the top surface 110 of the can and defined by incision lines 122a and 124a so that a part of each of the opening portions is attached to the top surface; and a tab 140 mounted on the top surface of the can by means of a first rivet stub Ra installed outside of the first opening portion and a second rivet stub Rb installed within the second opening portion. The second opening portion is opened while being lifted together with the second rivet stub Rb, the first opening portion is opened while being pressed by a pressing portion 144 around the first rivet stub, and the second rivet stub is formed to be closer to a grip 172 of the tab 170 than the first rivet stub.
