CLOSURE DEVICE FOR CLOSING A CONTAINER OPENING, IN PARTICULAR A KETTLE

摘要

The invention concerns a closure device comprising a lid (4), locking elements (8) and complementary locking elements (9) mutually co-operating so that they maintain the lid (4) on an opening (2) in locked position. The closure device comprises a hinge mechanism (9). The locking elements (8), the complementary locking elements (9) and the hinge mechanism (5) are designed such that the lid (4) shifts from its locked position to a released closed position by translation in a direction perpendicular to the opening axis (XX'), and from its released closed position to an open position by rotation about a pin (7) perpendicular to the opening axis (XX') and to the translational direction.
