Abstract: A unitary plastic container and integrally molded, tamper-evident, reclosable lid, which lid has a recessed planar member, with a rupturable portion, and an integral closure member hingedly secured thereto. The planar member and closure member provide an initial double seal for the contents of the container while the closure member provides a single seal for the contents after removal of the planar member. The container and integral lid are preferably formed from a rigid plastic material such as polypropylene.

Abstract: A tamper-evident, reclosable, integral rigid plastic lid for use on a container having an upper circular wall provides a double seal for the container contents until opened by a user and a single seal thereafter. The lid has a circular base, with a recess therein and a rupturable planar member extending across the recess, and a hinged closure member secured to a platform which completely covers the recess. The platform is in the shape of a segment of the circle formed by the circular base with a downwardly extending face provided along a chord of the circle which, with an arcuate raised rim about the circular base forms the bounds of the recess.

Abstract: An integrally molded, generally rectangular, tamper-evident, reclosable lid for a container is formed from a rigid thermoplastic and has a peripheral wall section that defines a recess, with a rupturable planar member extending across the recess, and has an integral closure member hingedly connected to the peripheral wall section. The planar member and closure member provide a double seal prior to opening by a user, and after removal of the rupturable portion of the planar member, the integral hinged closure member provides a seal for the contents of the container. The lid is formed from a rigid plastic having a tensile modulus and flexural modulus in excess of 100.times.10.sup.3 p.s.i. and a melting point in excess of 140.degree. C. to provide a lid resistant to removal from a container as well as other properties desired.
