The elastic top wall of the lid is moved along the container brim to establish a radially outwardly moving brim-wiping motion to cause substantially all of any spilled product located on the annular brim to be displaced and wiped off the container brim so that little, if any, spilled product remains on the container brim.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: Berry Plastics CorporationInventors: Jeffrey C.
