ABSTRACT:
A molded plastic lid construction employs a peripheral edge section which includes first and second spaced, adjacent, radially discrete hoop sections or depending flanges connected together by a horizontal, annular section. The outermost hoop section or flange includes a projecting horizontal shelf extending partially around the lid. A slot is provided in the shelf for inserting the blade of a tool so that the outer hoop may be elastically deformed to facilitate release of the lid from the rim of a bucket, for example. A lid release flange depends downwardly from the shelf to provide a manual release flange that may also be used to elastically deform and reclose the lid from a bucket.
