  • Patent number: 8376176
    Abstract: A container, especially a bucket or similar, comprising an opening, which is orientated upwards and which can be closed by a cover, and a peripheral container edge, which is drawn outwards in a downward direction on the container wall, where the cover is detachably connected thereto and whereon at least one pivotal tab is connected in such a way that at least one part of the cover is raised due to a pivoting movement away from a starting position on the container wall, and engages with the container edge from behind with part of the pivotal tab which can be guided outwards by the pivoting movement to a position in front of the container wall and the part of the pivotal tab is prevented from being guided behind the container edge when the pivotal tab pivots back in the direction of the initial position.

  • Patent number: 7731049
    Abstract: The invention relates to a container (1), especially a bucket or similar, comprising an opening, which is orientated upwards and which can be closed by a cover (3), and a peripheral container edge (2), which is drawn outwards in a downward direction on the container wall (5), where the cover (3) is detachably connected thereto and whereon at least one tongue-like element (8) is connected in such a way that at least one part of the cover (3) is raised due to a pivoting movement away from a starting position on the container wall (5). According to the invention, the tongue-like element (8) engages with the container edge (2) from behind with part of said tongue-like element which can be guided outwards by the pivoting movement to a position in front of the container wall (2) and the part of said tongue-like element is prevented from being guided behind the container edge (2) when the tongue-like element (8) pivots back in the direction of the initial position.

  • Patent number: 6845877
    Abstract: A plastic container with a snap lid and with a snap element is provided on the upper edge region of the container for the lid to snap onto, where the lid has a circumferential sealing web projecting downwards that contacts the inside of the container, where at least one projection that extends in an essentially radial and essentially vertical direction is provided on the lid radially inside the sealing web. To provide a plastic container with snap lid, which fulfils the special demands imposed on leak-proofness, while simultaneously providing high load-bearing capacity, the vertical extension of the area of the projection adjacent to the sealing web is small relative to the total vertical extension of the projection. The inward-facing projection can be located on an inside circumferential edge integrally molded on the sealing web. In addition to the sealing web, another circumferential seal is provided in the region of the top edge of the container.

  • Patent number: 6708839
    Abstract: A plastic container with a snap lid and with a snap element provided on the upper edge area of the container for the lid to snap onto, the lid having an area in tight contact with the container's upper edge area. The container edge on the side of the snap element facing the top edge of the container is provided with at least one integrally molded reinforcing rib projecting radially and extending over at least a segment of the circumference of the container, preferably running circumferentially around the container. The reinforcing rib may be provided on a downward-facing, circumferential collar region, which is joined in the region of the top edge of the container.

  • Publication number: 20020175174
    Abstract: A plastic container with a snap lid and with a snap element provided on the upper egde area of the container for the lid to snap onto, where the lid has an area that is in tight contact with the upper egde area of the container. The object of the invention is to design a plastic container with snap lid, which reliably fulfils the special demands imposed on leak-proofness, particularly when exposed to external forces. To this end, it is proposed that the container edge on the side of the snap element facing the top edge of the container be provided with at least one integrally molded reinforcing rib projecting radially and extending over at least a segment of the circumference of the container, which preferably runs circumferentially around the container. The reinforcing rib is provided on a downward-facing, circumferential collar region, which is joined in the region of the top edge of the container. In this context, the lid rests on the reinforcing rib on the inside.

  • Publication number: 20020175173
    Abstract: A plastic container with a snap lid and with a snap element provided on an upper edge area of the container for the lid to snap onto, where the lid being snapped onto the container has an area that comes into tight contact with the upper edge area of the container, the areas of the lid and of the container cooperating under tight contact generate a sealing region. The object of the invention is to design a plastic container with snap lid, which reliably fulfils special demands on leak-proofness. To this end, the sealing region between the container and the lid is provided with a circumferential seal made of a material of greater elasticity than the container and the lid and in that the seal is integrally moulded on at least one of the cooperation areas of the lid and of the container generating the sealing region. The seal can be located in a circumferential groove in the lid.
