A tamper evident container includes a tray portion having a base, a sidewall extending upwardly from a perimeter of the base, and a lid portion having an open position and a closed position. The lid portion may be configured to lockingly engage the tray portion in the closed position. A first hinge may be connected to lid portion and tray portion for rotation of the lid portion relative to the tray portion. A tamper evident closure may also be provided having an open position and a locked position, wherein in the locked position the tamper evident closure connects the tray portion and the lid portion when the lid portion in the closed position. A line of weakness is provided in the tamper evident closure which, when broken after the tamper evident closure is in the locked position, permits the lid portion to be moved from the closed position to the open position.

A lid for a container made of metal and able to contain a substance, it comprises a closing element defined by a line of incision provided with a front portion, an opening lever disposed astride the line of incision and comprising a fulcrum front end disposed at the front of the front portion, and an intermediate region provided with a flexible tongue attached to the closing element, a mechanical element configured to attach the flexible tongue mechanically to the closing element. The mechanical element is disposed essentially tangent to the front portion of the line of incision.

A lid that enables easy and hygienic opening and closing of a spout in a lid, is formed for opening and closing an open mouth part of a container, and has a top surface part formed so as to cover the open mouth part when the lid is closed. The top surface part includes a small lid piece and an opening part formed when the small lid piece is lifted, a joint part joined to one end part of a tab member is formed near a tip end of the small lid piece, and the tab member has a knob part formed at the other end part.

A container top for a container includes a stay-on tab mechanism pivotally and rotatably attached by a rivet. The stay-on tab mechanism includes a tab section integrally connected with and folded over a cover section, wherein the rivet acts as a fulcrum for the tab section such that when a first end of the tab section is lifted by a user, an opposite second end engages and at least partially severs a displaceable portion of the container top. The cover section and the tab section can be rotated around the rivet between a position where the cover section covers the displaceable portion and another position where the cover section does not cover the displaceable portion such that the user can selectably close and reopen the container after the displaceable portion has been severed.

A- lid (20) for a container (21) comprises: a central surface (27) having a substantially circular shape, on which a line of weakening (30) is made, which defines a closing element (39) which can be opened by pulling, made in the central surface (27); and a drive tab (22), having at least a first end (25) to act as a fulcrum outside the line of weakening (30) connected to the closing element (39) with a rivet (23) and able to be driven so as to remove upward, the closing element (39) from the remaining part of the central surface (27), detaching it along the line of weakening (30). The line of weakening (30) is interrupted at one end of the closing element (39) opposite to the drive tab (22), so that the closing element (39) has a connection flap (34) solid with the remaining part of the central surface (27). In the case of aluminum, the rivet is located at 1.5-3.5 mm from the front part of the closing element (39). In the case of ferrous allogs, this distance is 4.0-6.0 mm.
