Abstract:
A sealing device for a container comprising an essentially flat opening area, an opening tab formed in the opening area, and an opening device attached at a connection point in the opening area, and arranged to press down, through leverage action, the opening tab in the opening area so that it creates an opening therein, wherein the opening device is designed to provide resealing of the opening, after having created the opening, by being rotated in parallel with the opening area around the connection point until it reaches a resealing position where it seals the opening with a covering surface, wherein the opening device is provided with blocking devices on its periphery comprising at least one tab formed so that the opening device alternately engages upper and lower edge areas of the opening to block the opening device at the resealing position, and wherein the at least one tab is bounded by slits or other recesses in the opening device.
