ABSTRACT:
A reclosable plastic lid having a peripheral flange with a substantially annular projection that engages an annular shoulder on a container sidewall to retain the lid initially on the container full of contents. The flange is formed with a weakened portion defining a tear strip which removes to detach spaced portions of the flange along with portions of the annular projections leaving flange portions which are folded upwardly about hinge lines to retracted positions out of locking engagement with said annular shoulder. With the tear strip removed and the remaining flange portions pivoted outwardly toward horizontal positions, it is much easier to remove the lid from the container. When the lid is re-applied to reclose the container, the remaining attached, flange portions are pivoted down into engagement with container shoulder to retain the lid on the container and thereby, prevent spillage of the container's contents.
