Container closure device and method

A container comprising:

• (a) a container;
• (b) a first flap;
• (c) a second flap;
• and
• (d) at least one container closure means disposed within said flaps movably mounted within an aperture of said first flap and extending continuously through said first and second flaps when said container is closed, said at least one container closure means further comprises an open position and a closed position.

A reclosable container comprising:

• (a) a container, said container further comprises a first flap and a second flap;
• (i) said first flap at least partially overlaps said second flap when the container is closed;
• (ii) said first flap further comprises at least one first opening extending continuously through the first flap;
• (iii) said second flap further comprises at least one second opening extending continuously through said second flap;
• and
• (b) at least one member disposed of in said at least one first opening and movably attached to said first flap, said at least one member having an open position and extending though said at least one second opening when the container is closed and the member is in the open position.

A container comprising:

• (a) a container;
• (b) an overlying first flap;
• (c) an underlying second flap;
• and
• (d) at least one container closure means, said container closure means being positionable between an open position and a closed position and completely disposed within said flaps.

A method of closing a container, said container having at least one wall, a bottom, a first flap, a second flap, a first opening, a second opening, at least one first member movably positioned in said first opening, said at least one first member having an open position and a closed position, at least one second member fixedly attached to said at least one first member, said method comprising the steps of:

• (a) folding the second flap inward toward the bottom until said second flap is approximately perpendicular to said at least one wall;
• (b) positioning said at least one first member in the open position and folding the first flap inward toward the second flap until the first flap is approximately parallel with the second flap and said at least one second member extends continuously through said at least one second opening;
• and
• (c) positioning said at least one first member in the closed position.
