  • Patent number: 5860546
    Abstract: A squeeze contour seal assembly includes a container and a cap. The container has a neck portion which forms an opening. The neck portion has first and second wall thicknesses and screw threads for engaging the cap. The first wall thickness is greater than said second wall thickness. The cap has grooves for engaging the screw threads and a plug seal for releaseably engaging the opening when the screw threads and the grooves are threadably engaged. The second wall thickness engages a slot formed between the plug seal and the cap, thereby creating an interference fit between the neck portion and the plug seal and providing a leak free seal.
