Claims21
A container lid for a container, comprising a container body,
- the container lid that seals a container's interior has a sealing tab on a lid base,
- the tab can be at least partially removed for opening the container and freeing a container opening,
- the container lid is constructed of at least two parts with a first lid element and a second lid element,
- the first lid element contains the sealing tab,
- the second lid element has an aperture that has a distance from a middle axis of the lid which is the same as a distance of the sealing tab or the container opening,
- one of the first and second lid elements is affixed firmly and tightly to the container body,
- one of the two lid elements can be rotated on the middle axis in relation to the lid element that is affixed to the container body between a first position, in which the aperture is congruent with the sealing tab or the container opening, and a second position, in which the sealing tab or the container opening, is tightly sealed by the other respective lid element or its lid base,
- the lid element that can be rotated has a positive fit on its perimeter with the lid element that is affixed to the container body while being able to be rotated on the middle axis, and
- further comprising a rivet-like connector or fastener which allows for pivoting of the lid element that can be rotated.
