  • These locking fingers are formed integrally with the annular flange (15), as shown in Figure 1. They are regularly spaced from each other on the circumference of the cover (1).
  • the clamping means comprise, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, four equidistant fingers (32) each forming a Y whose one of the branches is shortened so as to bear on both the upper cylindrical portion of the container (6) and on the underside of the interlocking ring (64).
  • each locking pin (32) has a sloping surface (34) which bears against the engagement ring (64) when the cover (1) is placed on the container (6).
  • the contact between the declivity surface (54) of the locking finger (32) and the ring (64) causes a spacing of the finger (32) outwardly, the cover (1) being pressed on the top of the container (6).
  • Each locking finger (32) further includes an abutment surface (36) immediately above the sloping surface (34).
  • this abutment surface (36) is placed under the crown (64), as shown in FIG. 5. Therefore, when the lid (1) is pressed on the container (6), the elastic return of the locking fingers (32) induces an approaching of the finger (32) against the container (6) while the abutment surface is engaged in abutment against the underside of the crown (64), thus ensuring a fixing of the lid (1).
  • each locking pin includes a release lever (31) which is for example long enough to exceed the level of the annular flange (15).
  • This branch of the Y may protrude from any plane or substantially flat and horizontal surface of the cover body (17), sufficiently unobstructed for a user to easily access the lever (31) thus formed.
  • a radial pressure on the release lever (31), exerted outwardly, therefore allows to disengage the abutment surface (36) of the interlocking ring (64). The removal of the lid (1) is thus greatly facilitated.
  • this type of cover lock (1) has the advantage of being able to fit on existing boxes having variable dimensions.
  • the locking fingers (32) are of integral construction with the annular rim (15). It should be understood, however, that the annular flange is optional.
  • the lid according to the invention can be adapted to a very wide variety of containers, for example water-based pots that do not require stirring. .
  • the dosing principle allowed by the cover of FIG. 3 offers a great precision.
  • One of the advantages of the invention is to provide a lid (1) with shutter system simple design and provided with elastic elements (22) such as springs working only in tension and not in torsion.
