  • STACKABLE COSMETIC JAR
    Publication number: 20110006027
    Abstract: A jar (2) for a cosmetic product is provided which includes a non-circular container body (4) and a cap closure (14). The container body (4) features a closed end (6) defined by a bottom panel (8) and an open end defined by a mouth (12). The bottom panel (8) on an exterior surface is formed with projecting crescent shaped symmetrically disposed feet (66). The cap closure (14) includes a fitment (16) engageable around the mouth (12) and supported on the container body (4). A lid (18) is hingedly connected to the fitment (16) and defined by a roof panel (20) having a domed upper surface. The upper surface includes a pair of crescent shaped indents (24, 26) formed symmetrical to each other along opposite edges of the roof panel (20). The crescent shaped indents (24, 26) allow stacking of one jar upon another with good stability. The domed (curved) roof panel (20) distributes force (from stacked jars) more evenly along the cap closure (14).
