Abstract: The molding properties of molding compounds based on wholly aromatic polyesters are improved by the addition to such wholly aromatic polyester compositions of a minor amount of an aromatic polyester which is a combination of the following units: ##STR1## Where; p=0 to 0.9, q=0.1 to 1.00, r=1 to 7, S=0.3 to 1.00, t=0 to 0.7. A preferred formulation consists of a polyester where the units are: p=0, q=1.0, r=1 to 5 and S=1.0.

Abstract: For containers with circular openings, a closure for selectively loosely covering or tightly sealing the container. A seal member has an elastically contractible peripheral bead. The throat opening of the container decreases in diameter in two steps, forming two annular ledges and a wall portion therebetween. The peripheral bead may rest loosely upon the first, larger ledge, and, when contracted, may be seated tightly upon the second, smaller ledge.
