Patent number: 8627981Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2009Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: James P. Perry, David E. Compeau, Charles R. Schotthoefer, Jeremy J. McBroom, Melissa J. Gamel, Marc A. Pedmo, John G. Barca

Patent number: 8469223Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2009Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: James P. Perry, Mark A. Bennett, Martin J. Gibler, Marc A. Pedmo, Sean P. Cronican, Jeremy J. McBroom, John G. Barca, David E. Compeau, Gregory J. Finn

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 powder control features, a container wall junction (50) preferred geometry and congruent scoop (32) enabling convenient access to the contents, a tolerance variation accommodating and strength improving, J-shaped collar (300) and interlocking indentations (290) and flex clips (310), and a pressure controlling portion (350) that prevents unwanted deformation due to pressure differentials.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2007Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Abbott LaboratoriesInventors: James P. Perry, Craig A. McCardell, Jeremy J. McBroom, David E. Compeau, Ashley A. Gohlke, William J. Hook, Katherine J. Jordan, Frank S. Walczak, Peter B. Clarke, J. Kevin Clay, Richard C. Darr, Jack E.
