Claim:
A container that has a vertical axis and that includes a base that can hold goods and a lid with a main lid part that covers the base and with a pull-tab assembly that includes a pull-tab that is pivotally connected about a hinge axis to the main lid part to allow the pull-tab to pivot between a stowed position wherein the pull-tab lies closely over the main lid part and a deployed position wherein the pull tab extends at an angle of a plurality of degrees from said stowed position, wherein: in said stowed position said pull-tab is fixed by a breakable joint to said main lid part; said pull-tab has a spring wall that is resiliently deformed when said pull tab is forced downward to said stowed position and fixed by said breakable joint to said main lid part, so when said breakable joint is broken the pull-tab springs up to a raised position; said pull-tab assembly includes a holddown that is attachable to said main lid part; said spring wall includes a pair of raised portions on opposite sides of said breakable joint, and a pair of bridge surfaces extending from said pair of raised portions to said one breakable joint, said pair of bridge surfaces being bent to extend at a downward incline when said pull-tab is forced downward to said stowed position.
