Slot Tops - Master List

#1

Post by kamsquared »

“Slot top” refers to the narrow openings on this generation of self opener.
These tops are commonly known as U tops which is sometimes confused with the U-tab.
The name of these tops is up for debate and would benefit from an RB Poll to determine popular opinion.
This top gave us the transition from the U-tab to the pull ring.
Note that the instructions read "Lift Tab & Pull" for the U-tab and "Lift Ring & Pull" for the pull ring.
Tops had indentations for structure and “smiley beads” around the opening.
The PAT PEND referred to the construction of the top indentations.
