Abstract: A container, for example a paint pot, is generally cylindrical, with an open end (2) into which a lid (6) plug-fits by engagement with a radially inwardly spaced skirt (45) which is connected to the wall (1) of the container by a flange (3). The flange forms an angle (A) within the wall (1) which is less than 90.degree., preferably 30.degree.. Having an angled flange facilitates manufacture of the container by injection molding techniques.

Abstract: An injection molded plastic container including a bail handle having projections adjacent each end engaging in holes passing through the peripheral wall of the container. Each projection has a cylindrical shank push-fitted in a corresponding hole, with the diameter of each hole being less than the external diameter of the shank.

Abstract: A container having a body (10) provided with a mouth (14) defined by a lip (13) located radially inwardly of the main body wall (11) by a flange (12), and a lid having a skirt (23) for plug-fitting in the lip and a peripheral rim (24) projecting outwardly of the skirt so as to extend over the flange and permitting removal of the lid by a tool engaged between the rim and the flange, both the lid and the body being plastics mouldings wherein the surface (16) of the lip (13) engageable with the lid skirt (23) is convex in cross-section and in that the skirt has a complementary surface (28) which is concave in cross-section and extends from adjacent the rim (24).
