Abstract:
1. A container equipped with a closure device that permits a user to manipulate or withdraw an object placed within said container, wherein said closure device has a plane and is comprised of a closure mechanism that can deform elastically essentially in the plane of the closure device to change from a closed state of rest under no external stress to an open active state under an external stress, wherein the closure device comprises at least one rigid peripheral support structure attached to which is the closure mechanism that is comprised of elastically deformable elastic bands which intersect each other at a center of intersection and cooperate with each other to define an opening though which a sleeve having a diameter and forming a closure member extends, and which elastic bands surround the sleeve of the closure member at said center of intersection such that, when the elastically deformable elastic bands are in a state of rest under no external stress, the diameter of the sleeve is restricted by the elastic bands so that the closure member is closed.
