  • (a) container means having an open end leading therein;

    (b) closure means provided to close the open end of the container means, wherein the closure means comprises an outer cover means that overlays an inner cover means mounted on the container means and sealed to the open end thereof;

    (c) joining means connecting between the outer cover means and the inner cover means;

    (d) handle means provided on the closure means; and

    (e) seal means supported on the outer cover means and extending to the inner cover means and in communication with the interior of the container means, the seal means being positioned intermediate the handle means and a first pivot means for the outer cover means and wherein the handle means is moveable to first position, spaced from the container means and in such a manner so as to cause the outer cover means to pivot about the first pivot means to remove the seal means from contact with the inner cover means and breach its sealed relationship with respect to the open end of the container means and wherein the handle means is further movable to a second position spaced from the container means greater than that for the first position and in such a manner so as to cause the outer cover means to actuate the joining means to remove the inner cover means from its mounted relationship with respect to the container means to thereby provide for separating the closure means from the container means for accessing therein.
