The ornamental design for a can end with trapezoidal tear panel, as shown and described.

FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a first embodiment of a can end with trapezoidal tear panel, showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a top plan view of a second embodiment thereof, in which the area inside the trapezoidal tear panel includes a trapezoidal raised panel in place of the inner bead of FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is a top plan view of a third embodiment of the can end with trapezoidal tear panel of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a top plan view of a fourth embodiment thereof;

FIG. 5 is a top plan view of a fifth embodiment thereof;

FIG. 6 is a top plan view of a sixth embodiment thereof; and,

FIG. 7 is a side elevational view thereof, all other side elevational views being identical thereto.

The underside of the can end with trapezoidal tear panel is plain and unornamented.

The broken line showing of a container is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.

Taylor, Robert L.
