Abstract:
1. A container comprising: a rotationally symmetrical wall region having a circumference which defines a container axis; a lid wall, said lid wall having a top side and a circular circumference of a given radius length and being fixed to and along said circumference of said rotationally symmetrical wall region; a bounded region of said lid wall, said bounded region extending between said container axis and said circular circumference of said lid wall and being enclosed by a predetermined breaking line which, once fractured, releases a single drinking and pouring opening; a depression having a sloping surface formed by wall portions of said lid wall within said predetermined breaking line; a rotary lid closure having a wall which spans said lid wall, an opening cut out therein and a protrusion for sliding on said sloping surface and to break open said drinking and pouring opening; means for supporting said rotary lid closure when the latter is rotated about said axis for opening said drinking and pouring opening and for moving said rotary lid closure between a fully open position and a fully closed position; wherein said depression with sloping surface of said lid wall is arranged at a location of said bounded region which is overlapped by said cut-out opening when said rotary lid closure has been rotated in said fully open position of said drinking and pouring opening; wherein said protrusion is formed from wall portions of said rotary lid closure; and wherein said wall of said rotary lid closure engages said top side of said lid wall elastically and with pressure thereon so as to seal said drinking and pouring opening once the latter has been opened and said rotary lid closure has been rotated in said fully closed position.
