ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a removable self-closing lid for covering a top of a container, wherein the container has an outer wall surface and a top with an opening for accessing into the container. The lid includes a cap, a pressure fitting and sealing perimeter lip for securing the cap over the container top, and a pouring aperture. Further included in the lid is an automatic leveraging mechanism which is activated by a user exerting pressure on a trigger, thereby opening the pouring aperture. The pouring aperture is automatically sealed when the leveraging means is deactivated by the user releasing the pressure on the trigger. Incorporated into the trigger is a leverage ridge that provides a fulcrum that slides over the container's outer wall surface during activation and deactivation.
