Zusammenfassung:A closure for the open mouth of an airtight container. The closure has a resiliently flexible diaphragm which has a peripheral edge ( 37 ) which can sealing engage against an inside wall surface of the open mouth. The diaphragm ( 13 ) is engaged with the second cover section ( 12 ) of a cover. A pair of toggles ( 24 ) are pivotally mounted on axles ( 22 ) of second cover section ( 12 ). The levers ( 30 ) of the toggles ( 24 ) extend through an opening ( 44 ) in the first or outer cover section ( 11 ) when the first and second cover sections ( 11, 12 ) are snap-locked together. By moving the levers ( 30 ) toward one another the respective feet ( 27 ) of the toggle ( 24 ) engage with area ( 35 ) of the diaphragm ( 13 ) to deform the diaphragm and thereby break a sealing effect between the peripheral edge of the diaphragm and the inside wall surface of the open mouth.
