Abstract: A container has an upper container edge and a fully circumferential lateral wall and an upper container opening closed by a lid. A latching rim is provided near the upper container edge for connection with a corresponding latching rim provided on the lid. The lid has a lid rim portion arranged above the upper container edge. The lid has at least one extension extending outside the lateral container wall and below the lid lower edge. The extension and container have mutually corresponding fasteners independently releasable of the latching rims. The lid and/or the container has an actuator area different from the fasteners on the lid extension and the container and/or from the lid extension itself. When the actuator area has been actuated, the fasteners between the lid extension and the container are more easily releasable and, where applicable, easier to close.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container (1), especially a bucket or similar, comprising an opening, which is orientated upwards and which can be closed by a cover (3), and a peripheral container edge (2), which is drawn outwards in a downward direction on the container wall (5), where the cover (3) is detachably connected thereto and whereon at least one tongue-like element (8) is connected in such a way that at least one part of the cover (3) is raised due to a pivoting movement away from a starting position on the container wall (5). According to the invention, the tongue-like element (8) engages with the container edge (2) from behind with part of said tongue-like element which can be guided outwards by the pivoting movement to a position in front of the container wall (2) and the part of said tongue-like element is prevented from being guided behind the container edge (2) when the tongue-like element (8) pivots back in the direction of the initial position.
