The lid (7) extends between a first edge (7A) coinciding with the rotation axis (A) and a second edge (7B) defining at least a flap (71; 72, 73) insertable in at least a slot (41; 42, 43) to maintain the lid (7) in the closed position (P1). The second edge (7B) comprises a stretch (T1) that develops between a first point and a second point in correspondence with the flap (71; 72, 73) and that defines a distance function which is strictly monotonic.
