Publication number: 20230150724Abstract: A container (210) for holding granular or powdered material and formed by a top wall (212), a bottom wall (214), a front wall (216), a rear wall (218), a first side wall (220), and a second side wall (222). A rotatably removable lid (D) is interiorly mounted with a scoop (32) and is pivotally hinged to a collar (300) that includes a sealing gasket (330). The collar (300) mounts to the walls of the container (210). A sealing wall 240 of the lid (D) cooperates with the gasket 300 to prevent the contents from spilling. The container (210) incorporates powder control features, a container wall junction (50) preferred geometry and congruent scoop (32) enabling convenient access to the contents, a tolerance variation accommodating and strength improving, J-shaped collar (300) and interlocking indentations (290) and flex clips (310), and a pressure controlling portion (350) that prevents unwanted deformation due to pressure differentials.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2023Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: ABBOTT LABORATORIESInventors: James P. PERRY, Craig A. MCCARDELL, Jeremy MCBROOM, David COMPEAU, Ashley A. GOHLKE, William J. HOOK, Katherine J. JORDAN, Frank S. WALCZAK, Peter B. CLARKE, J. Kevin CLAY, Richard C. DARR, Jack E.
