The lever includes a tongue with a raised portion thereon in the form of an eyelet and in operation the lever serves to bring the ring ends together sealing the cover or head to the container while the lever tongue enters the receptacle on the ring with the raised portion on the tongue passing therethrough wherein this raised portion acts as a retaining means for the lever in its closed position while also providing a means for securing a sealing wire.
