  • Patent number: 8627981
    Abstract: A container (210) for holding granular or powdered material and formed by a top wall (212), a bottom wall (214), a front wall (216), a rear wall (218), a first side wall (220), and a second side wall (222). A rotatably removable lid (D) is interiorly mounted with a scoop (32) and is pivotally hinged to a collar (300) that includes a sealing gasket (330). The collar (300) mounts to the walls of the container (210). A sealing wall 240 of the lid (D) cooperates with the gasket 300 to prevent the contents from spilling. The container (210) incorporates additional sealing features wherein the gasket (330) projects inwardly from the collar (300) into an interior space (H, I) of the container (210) to be biased against the sealing flange (284). The sealing wall includes modifications that funnel powder into the interior space (H,I) of the receptacle (280).

  • Publication number: 20130313218
    Abstract: According to techniques of the application, a closure includes a sidewall, a plurality of knurls, a top surface, and a rim. The sidewall has an outer surface, about which the knurls are distributed. The top surface is bounded by the sidewall. The rim includes a portion of the sidewall extending above the top surface, a top edge, and an inner surface. The rim has a first curvature having a first curvature radius. The first curvature is convex and extends from the top edge of the rim towards the outer surface of the sidewall. The rim has a second curvature having a second curvature radius. The first curvature radius is larger than second curvature radius.

  • Patent number: 8469223
    Abstract: A sealable container (210) for flowable material formed with top (212) and flexible and stiffened bottom (214) walls joined by front (216), rear (218), and opposite side walls (220, 222). The top wall including an openable lid (D) formed with an improved scoop holder (30) and a collar (300) received about a finish (282) of the front, rear, and side walls. The flexible and stiffened bottom wall (214) includes at least one sagittal stiffening channel (500) and an optional transverse stiffening channel (530). The openable lid includes a sealing wall (340) that cooperates with other improved container components to prevent spillage of the flowable material after the seal is peeled and removed.
