Plastic container body and container closure and carry handle grip / container leverage opening tool assembly

A sealable container comprising:

• a dual purpose detachable handle grip/tool (37) for opening;
• an air pressure evacuation system formed by (61) and internal channels (62) of a container cover (30);
• a plurality of strengthening fins of the container, being elements (42), (50) of the container cover (30) and an element (26) of the container body (10);
• a combination of annular, curved elastic ring bands (45) and a notch groove (25), forming a main locking mechanism of the container when engaged;
• a combination of an annular groove (60) and an annular rim (14), forming a main sealing mechanism of the container when engaged;
• a combination of notch grooves (3 and 76) and hinge grooves (4), allowing for partial separation of a part of an annular skirt (22) element of the container body and for movement when opening the container;
• a combination of notch grooves (3 and 76) allowing for separation of a part of the annular skirt (22) element of the container body which in turn visually display tamper proof evidence and after the container has been opened at the point of first usage;
• a combination of top load bearing surfaces at points (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6) to improve the container top load performance;
• a combination of malleable, compressible and expandable parts of the container body (10) allowing for achieving at the same time an air tight and leak proof performance of the package when engaged, wherein the container body (10) has an open top with an annular rim (14) around it, an annular flange (16) formed in the axial direction and extending radially outwards from an external wall of the container body (10), said annular flange is integral with the container body containing a pair of concentrically spaced annular flanges (19 and 20) disposed on the radially outward and angularly extending annular flange (16) extending from the upper portion of the container body, and an annular skirt (22) extending radially outwards from an undersurface of the annular flange;
• and
• a container cover (30), having a peripheral annular skirt which includes an extension being the annular and curved annular elastic ring bands (45) formed therein according to the corresponding mating profile of the notch groove (25) in the annular flange of the container body (10), wherein the container cover is configured for latching engagement with corresponding said notch groove (25) in the annular flange of the container body in a respective one-to-one relationship;
• and a first and second annular curtains (40, 43) disposed from the undersurface of the container cover (30) and configured to fit an inner wall of the container body (10) and its annular rim (14) in a compression fit manner;
• characterized in that the external annular skirt (32) of the container body contains a partially detachable, integral and articulated (4) lever panel (2), which, when manually operated upward and outward, first separates the adjacent notch grooves (3) from the annular skirt (32) of the container body and when continuing the lever movement detaches the corresponding mating parts (45 and 25) of the container which facilitates the opening of the closed container, wherein the partially detachable integral and articulated lever panel (4) may be located in more than one position on the external peripheral skirt (32) of the container body depending on the final shape of the container body, which is cylindrical or rectangular.
