Benefits of technology

The present invention is a latch mechanism that has a second rotating tongue added to it. This tongue can be moved by pressing on the lid to open it. This allows for more design freedom and reduces the need for a dedicated area for the activation device. The lid can be opened easily by pushing down on it, and the user needs to exert a certain amount of force to open it to avoid accidental opening. This mechanism provides a simple and safe way to open a closure.

Problems solved by technology

Some use TPE or soft rubber like material, which in first contact might not lead the user to understand that the area is meant to be pushed down in order to release a latch.

Abstract

A conventional pop-up latch mechanism to which a second rotating tongue that will disengage the main latch is used in combination. This tongue is moved in place by pressing on the lid a similar way as to close it. It allows for the design team to have a much wider freedom of designing the closure, without the need to have an area dedicated for the pop-up activation device, reducing mold complexity and cost at the same time. The lid is open by a very simple push down motion. It also requires the user to reach a certain amount of force to open it avoiding accidental opening in case the closure fall on the ground. A slightly recessed lid leads the user to push on the lid.
