ABSTRACT:
A releasable lid clasp device for trash containers or cans, arranged to secure the lids thereof against accidental dislodgment. The device is constituted as an elongate body having a generally transverse groove of suitable radius which defines a pair of facing jaws that are capable of engaging opposite surfaces of the bead of the container lid. The body includes a resilient hinge which enables opening and closing movement of one of the jaws with respect to the other as the hinge flexes. In addition, there is provided a manually engageable extremity portion on the body, by which the user can flex the hinge and thereby accomplish the opening and closing movement of the one jaw. The arrangement is such that a highly satisfactory securement of the lid can be attained, without sacrificing ease of operation or reliability, especially over prolonged periods of use.
