         6 . The lid ( 100 ) according to  claim 3 , wherein at least one of said second and third sealing means ( 130 ,  131 ) is integral with said actuating element ( 110 ). 
     
     
         7 . The lid ( 100 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein said actuating element ( 110 ) is a two-component injection-molded member. 
     
     
         8 . The lid ( 100 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein said actuating element ( 110 ) comprises at least one hinge ( 111 ) over which said second sealing means ( 130 ) extends. 
     
     
         9 . The lid ( 100 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one second sealing means ( 130 ) extends substantially parallel to the outer edge of said actuating element ( 110 ). 
     
     
         10 . The lid ( 100 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein said at least one second sealing means ( 130 ) extends substantially along said outer edge of said actuating element ( 110 ).
