Self return teeter tauter lid

A self return teeter tauter lid assembly for selectively sealing a container comprising:

• a cap having a self-gripping handle, a top face, an outer peripheral rim, a sip port and a vent port integrally formed in the top face;
• and
• a release lever detachably pivotally coupled to said cap about a pivot point and moveable between a sealed configuration and an unsealed configuration, said release lever having integrally formed therein:
• a spring, a thumb pad on a first side of the pivot point and a sip plug and a vent plug on a second side of the pivot point;
• the sip plug sealing the sip port in said sealed configuration, the vent plug sealing the vent port In said sealed configuration;
• the integral spring of said release lever resiliently engages said cap, wherein the spring urges said release lever to said sealed configuration through application of an upward force on an underside of said release lever, whereby said unsealed configuration is achieved by applying force between the thumb pad and the self-gripping handle;
• wherein said pivot point is disposed outwardly said outer peripheral rim of said cap.
