Abstract: A container includes a recessed “one touch” mechanism positioned about the top surface of the lid (101,201,301,401,505,605). The lid (101,201,301,401,50 5,605) has a recessed area configured to house a handle (213,313,413,501,601). The handle (213,313,413,501,601) has a top surface configured to fit in the recessed area and is connected to a shank (513,613) engaged with a chamber (511,611) by way of a spring (801), wherein the handle (213,313,413,501,601) is in a first position with the recessed area when force is applied to the top surface of the handle (213,313,413,501,601), and the handle (213,313,413,501,601) is in a second position exterior to a surface of the lid (101,201,301,401,505,605) when the force is removed from the top surface of the handle (213,313,413,501,601) so that it is convenient for the user to lift the lid (101,201,301,40 1,505,605) without using both hands and leaving unwanted fingerprints on the lid (101,201,301,401,505,605).
