Abstract
A server top which is attachable to a container, includes a lid portion which fits over the container and has an outlet through which a substance within the container may be poured, two substantially parallel side faces which each extend outwardly from the lid portion and which each have a pivot hollow, a closure which is movable over the lid portion to open and close the outlet, and a push lever. The push lever is connected to the closure to open and close the outlet by sliding the closure back and forth. The push lever includes a push arm, two sides of which a portion of each side is inwardly adjacent to one side face near its pivot hollow, two pivot protrusions which each extend outwardly from one push lever side into the adjacent pivot hollow so that the push lever is pivotally mounted between the two side faces. The entire push lever is injection molded as a unitary form finished push lever, with the push arm, two sides, and two protrusions formed in the same molding operation.
