ABSTRACT:
A closure mechanism for the top of a tennis ball storage container employs a pair of barrier rods that are slideably engaged by tracks in the end panels of the container. When the rods are squeezed together, they enter snap-fitting holding pockets located at the innermost extremities of the tracks. When secured by the holding pockets, the distance of separation between the parallel rods is less than the diameter of a standard tennis ball. When the rods are manipulated apart away from the holding pockets, their distance of separation becomes large enough to permit removal of balls from the container.
