  • Container
    Patent number: 6644492
    Abstract: A container (2) and closure (4) arrangement where the container includes a closure displacement lever (16) to assist a user with removal of the closure. The lever is pivotally connected to the container at one end (20) and the other end (18) is free for manipulation by a user. In use, a skirt of the closure sits over part of the lever, so that movement of the free end of the lever in a direction away from the container exerts a force on the skirt to facilitate removal of the closure from the container.
