Push/pop closure

A container comprising:

• a base including
• a bottom wall,
• a first continuous wall extending generally perpendicularly from the bottom wall,
• a second wall extending generally perpendicularly from the bottom wall, the second wall being circumscribed by the first continuous wall, where an interior of the first continuous wall and an exterior of the second wall at least partially define a first well, and
• a third wall extending generally perpendicularly from the bottom wall, the third wall being substantially circumscribed by the second wall;
• and
• a lid mounted movably to the base, the lid including
• an inner dome section including a first projection extending from an interior surface, the inner dome section being outlined by a second projection also extending from the interior surface;
• and
• an outer dome section extending from the inner dome section to an outer boundary;
• wherein the first projection slidably engages the third wall to movably mount the lid to the base;
• wherein the lid is movable between a concave open position and a convex closed position;
• wherein the second projection selectively engages the first continuous wall when the lid is in the closed position;
• and
• wherein, when the lid is in the concave open position, the first well is accessible from an exterior of the container and, when the lid is in the convex closed position, the first well is not accessible from the exterior of the container.

A method of fabricating a container comprising the steps of:

• providing a base, the base including a bottom wall and a plurality of upwardly extending walls, at least two of the plurality of walls and the bottom wall at least partially defining a well;
• loading the well with a payload;
• providing a lid, the lid including an inner dome section and an outer dome section, the inner dome section including a projection, wherein the inner dome section and the outer dome section cooperate to snap between a convex configuration and a concave configuration;
• and
• coupling the lid to the base by slidably engaging the projection with at least one of the plurality of walls;
• wherein the well is accessible when the lid is in the concave configuration and the well is not accessible when the lid is in the convex configuration.

A container comprising:

• a base;
• and
• a domed lid, of a generally flexible and resilient material, engaged with the base at a hub of the lid so as to be vertically moveable, up and down, with respect to the base at the hub of the lid;
• wherein the domed lid is in sliding engagement with the base;
• the base including a fulcrum projecting radially upward therefrom towards the lid, the fulcrum projection being positioned radially outside of the hub of the lid;
• wherein downward force on the hub of the lid causes the lid to engage the fulcrum projection radially outside of the hub of the lid and invert the domed lid to a cupped lid, thereby providing a radially accessible opening to the container radially outside of the fulcrum;
• and
• wherein downward force on the cupped lid radially outside the fulcrum causes the lid to engage the fulcrum and revert the cupped lid back to a domed lid, thereby closing the opening to the container.
