a lid element circumferentially connected with and extending inward from a circumferential sealing lip and towards said container side through said ring aperture said lid element being formed of an elastomer material and being tapered to have an indented cover side and a bulged container side,
said circumferential sealing lip forming the outer edge of said lid element and comprising a second circumferential sealing surface matching said first circumferential sealing surface to form together therewith, in a sealing configuration, a circumferential sealing contact;
