Abstract
A self-sealing closure for sealing a receptacle is disclosed. The closure contains a lid having a depressed area and at least one orifice within the depressed area, and a shutter matching the orifice which contains a lever. The shutter is held against the orifice. The shutter contains a device for preventing the pushing of the shutter away from the orifice when force is applied to the lever in a direction substantially orthogonal to the plane of the orifice.
