Abstract
A container defining an inner containment region and having means for positively sealing and opening at least one end to provide access to the containment region. An enclosure member is provided with at least one closure secured thereto for hinged movement adjacent to the opening, the closure being bi-directionally movable from a locked first position wherein the closure seals the container opening, through an intermediate position to a locked second position wherein the closure positively unseals the opening. The enclosure member resiliently deforms in coopertive interaction with the closure as the closure moves between the first and second positions, respectively, to aid further movement thereof from the intermediate position to either of the first locked closed positiion or the second locked open position. A method for manufacturing the container is also disclosed.
