Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a can end showing the new design;



FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the can end of FIG. 1;



FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of the can end of FIG. 1;



FIG. 4 is a side elevation view of the can end of FIG. 1, the opposite side being a mirror image thereof;



FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the can end of FIG. 1 disposed on an illustrative can in an illustrative use-case scenario, such as before and/or after seaming the can end to the can;



FIG. 6 is a top plan view of the can end in the embodiment of FIG. 5;



FIG. 7 is a bottom plan view of the can end in the embodiment of FIG. 5;



FIG. 8 is a side elevation view of the can end in the embodiment of FIG. 5, the opposite side being a mirror image thereof;



FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the can end of FIG. 1 disposed on an illustrative can in an illustrative use-case scenario, such as after applying a pattern of radial displacement to at least the can end;



FIG. 10 is a top plan view of the can end in the embodiment of FIG. 9;



FIG. 11 is a bottom plan view of the can end in the embodiment of FIG. 9; and,



FIG. 12 is a side elevation view of the can end in the embodiment of FIG. 9, the opposite side being a mirror image thereof.


The claimed ornamental design is shown embodied on an assembly that may be used, for example, as a can end and/or a can assembly. In an illustrative example, the claimed ornamental design may operate to close a container (e.g., a can) such as, for example, to contain contents (e.g., liquids, powders, solids, gases) such as cleaners, topicals, medicaments, and/or beverages. The broken lines shown in the drawings illustrate portions of the can end, as well as a can in FIGS. 5-12, that form no part of the claimed design. Gaps between parallel lines interrupting a line, and/or a bracket spanning at least one side of a gap, indicates indefinite length. This disclosure encompasses at least a corresponding embodiment in which the gap and/or bracket is removed and the length of the corresponding line is as depicted without interruption.


Claims
  • The ornamental design for a can end, as shown and described.
