Container with sealable lid

A storage container assembly comprising:

• a container having an opening;
• a lid for covering the opening, the lid including
• a top lid defining an upper surface of the lid;
• a button movable in a first axial direction with respect to the top lid between a projected position in which a top surface of the button is offset from the upper surface of the lid and a depressed position in which the top surface of the button is nearer to the upper surface of the lid as compared to the projected position;
• a gasket movable between a contracted state and an expanded state;
• a gasket pusher movable in a second axial direction, which is transverse to the first axial direction, between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the gasket pusher pushes the gasket toward the expanded state when moving from the retracted position toward the extended position;
• an arm operatively connecting the button with the gasket pusher, wherein movement of the button from the projected position toward the depressed position results in pivotal movement of the arm and moves the gasket pusher in the second axial direction, which results in the gasket moving toward the expanded state.
