Abstract
A lid opens and closes a container which has first walls forming an interior. The lid includes a lower member and an upper member. The lower member has a plurality of edges forming an aperture for accessing the interior of the container when the lid is in an open configuration. The upper member has a distal end; a hinge rotatably engaging the lower member wherein the distal end of the upper member rotates towards the lower member when the lid is in a closed configuration, and wherein the distal end rotates away from the lower member when the lid is in the open configuration; a downwardly extending second wall for closing the aperture when the lid is in the closed configuration, and for opening the aperture when the lid is in the open configuration; an abutment; a resilient member engaging the abutment; and a protrusion coupled to the resilient member and engaging a first edge of the lower member when the lid is in the closed configuration; and a button coupled to the resilient member, with the button in a first position for applying a force to the resilient member to move the protrusion away from the first edge to place the lid in the open configuration, and the button in a second position for not applying the force to the resilient member, wherein a restorative force of the resilient member against the abutment causes the protrusion to engage the first edge to place the lid in the closed configuration.
