A closure set within an aperture of a container end wall, such as a beverage container, whereby pressurized gasses within the container force bias a tapered sealing panel into gas tight sealing engagement within a complementary tapered rim seal. An enclosing cover, providing contamination protection, is rotated open, uncovering a vent hole, exhausting pressurized gasses prior to the tapered sealing panel being opened, such as to provide a pour opening. Rotation of the cover actuates co-joined levers that transfer a force to automatically open or close the tapered sealing panel. A space located on the inside surface of the cover is first available to a user, containing indicia and promotional messages on initial opening of the container.
A closure, set within an aperture of a container end wall, for gas tight containment of dissociating gasses that emit from carbonated beverage, whereby said container is a beverage container, and becomes pressurized when sealed,
