  • Patent number: 6688487
    Abstract: A multi-sealing, multi-locking and reopenable cup and lid assembly includes a cup that has an open circular mouth defining an interior locking groove and an undercut frustoconical sealing surface, and a resilient circular lid having a peripheral lip and a frustoconical sealing surface complementary to cup sealing surface. Insertion of the lid into the cup creates a snap-in lock of the lip in the locking groove and a liquid-tight seal between the sealing surfaces. Interrupted portions in the interface between the lid lip and the locking groove in the cup may be aligned by manual rotation of the locked lid for unlocking and easy removal thereof.
