         3 . The safety opening cap of  claim 2 , wherein a cut severance hole having a hole structure is formed at one side end part of the sub cut line so as to prevent the cut from being further extended by pressing the cap body. 
     
     
         4 . The safety opening cap of  claim 1 , wherein a lifting part support wall protruding to a height corresponding to a rear height of the tab lifting part is formed to be adjacent to or in contact with the rear of the tab lifting part. 
     
     
         5 .

         6 . The safety opening cap of  claim 1 , wherein, an inner wall projecting downward from a rear surface of the cap body is formed, and the inner wall is separated from the outer wall by a predetermined distance, so that the protruding rim is in close contact between the outside of the inner wall and the outer wall, and the can lid is insert into the inside of the inner wall at the time the can lid is opened. 
     
     
         7 . The safety opening cap of  claim 6 , wherein, at least one or more lid hooking pieces are formed protruding inward on the inner wall, for preventing the can lid from being exposed or detached to the outside from an inner position of the inner wall in the process of opening the can lid, and the lid hooking piece is disposed corresponding to both sides with respect to the tab lifting part. 
     
     
         8 . The safety opening cap of  claim 1 , wherein, with respect to the center part of the cap body, when the direction in which the tab lifting part is formed is defined as the front, and the opposite direction is defined as the rear, the tab lifting part is formed to have a gradually increasing thickness from the front towards the rear of the cap body. 
     
     
         9 . The safety opening cap of  claim 8 , wherein, a pair of tab guide steps are formed protruding from both sides of an upper surface of the tab lifting part by a predetermined thickness at predetermined intervals to guide the movement of the tab. 
     
     
         10 . The safety opening cap of  claim 1 , wherein, the tab passing means comprises a tab inlet hole from which a part of the cap body is removed, and the tab inlet hole is formed between one side end part of the cap body and the tab lifting part, and is formed to have a size that allows insertion of the tab.
