Patent ID: 7407061

Claim:
A container comprising a bottom, a lid and a vertical wall joining the bottom to the lid, a tab including a gripping end and opposed bearing end, said tab comprising a protrusion between its gripping end and its bearing end, made integral by means of said protrusion with the lid by means of a contact having a longitudinal axis running parallel to the longitudinal axis of container, said contact being attached to the lid, said tab being able to be turned about a longitudinal axis of contact and being suitable for inclining through a given angle with respect to the plane of the lid, with an opening area delimited by a cutout in said lid and that may be opened by means of said tab whose bearing end applies force from the outside toward the inside of the container inside area delimited by the cutout, wherein said tab has a gripping end which is enlarged with respect to the shape of the opening area delimited by the cutout and a closing/opening area about the same size as the opening area delimited by cutout with the closing/opening area delimited by a groove and whose closing/opening area is originally convex and which, because of its flexibility and elasticity, may be warped by pressure from the outside to the inside of the container in order to assume a concave shape and, conversely, which may be warped to resume its convex shape by pressure from the inside to the outside of the container applied on the bearing end.
