OBS

When beverage can makers began using the term "ring-pull", it was to designate a new "ring-shaped" tab. After decades of production of ring-shaped tabs, the terms "ring-pull" and "tab" ended up being used as synonyms.

Key term(s)
  • ring pull

French

Domaine(s)
  • Emballages en métal
  • Boissons (Industrie de l'alimentation)
DEF

Sur une canette, pièce métallique trouée et fixée au couvercle par un rivet dont on se sert pour ouvrir le contenant.

OBS

En général, on rend «ring» et «ring-pull» par «anneau», et «tab» par «languette» lorsque ces termes anglais font partie d'une unité terminologique complexe comme «stay-on-tab end» ou «ring-pull end». Toutefois, employés seuls, «anneau» et «languette», comme «tab» et «ring-pull», réfèrent à la même notion et sont utilisés comme synonymes.
