Here's the mechanism with spider. All food safe and removable for cleaning. The black nylon string activates the spider.

The axel pivots an a ceramic cradle, the string extends out the back of the box.

The string rests in a slot in the lid. Now it needs a knot or bead at just the right point. As the lid slides back, it pulls the string, turns the wheel, lifts the spider. The string can slip backwards from the slot to remove it from the lid.
