Abstract

A cover and container combination with the container having upstanding sidewalls terminating at an upper edge portion. The cover has a groove formed in the bottom face thereof which is adapted to receive the upper edge portion of the container sidewall. The cover further includes a panel portion, a centrally located button portion and a hinge portion connecting the button portion to the panel portion. The button portion is biased upwardly by the inherent resiliency of the cover material. To install the cover it is first pressed onto the container with the sidewall edge fully inserted into the groove on the cover. The button portion of the cover is depressed causing a slight increase in pressure on the inside of the container. The cover is then cracked open slightly with the button portion depressed to allow the pressure inside and out to be equalized. The cracked open portion is then closed with the button depressed. The button portion is then released to allow it to spring back to its original position because of the inherent resiliency of the cover material. The upward movement of the button portion will cause a slight increase in the internal volume of the container which in turn will cause a slight decrease in the pressure inside the container. This pressure differential will tend to force the cover into its installed position to thereby provide a reasonably tight hermetic seal between the cover and container.

Riteris and Spencer B. Michael 5 7 ABSTRACT A cover and container combination with the container having upstanding sidewalls terminating at an upper edge portion. The cover has a groove formed in the bottom face thereof which is adapted to receive the upper edge portion of the container sidewall. The cover further includes a panel portion, a centrally located button portion and a hinge portion connecting the button portion to the panel portion. The button portion is biased upwardly by the inherent resiliency of the cover material. To install the cover it is first pressed onto the container with the sidewall edge fully inserted into the groove on the cover. The button portion of the cover is depressed causing a slight increase in pressure on the inside of the container. The cover is then cracked open slightly with the button portion depressed to allow the pressure inside and out to be equalized. The cracked open portion is then closed with the button depressed. The button portion is then released to allow it to spring back to its original position because of the inherent resiliency of the cover material. The upward movement of the button portion will cause a slight increase in the internal volume of the container which in turn will cause a slight decrease in the pressure inside the container. This pressure differential will tend to force the cover into its installed position to thereby provide a reasonably tight hermetic seal between the cover and container.
1 Claim, 4 Drawing Figures CONTAINER AND COVER THEREFOR BACKGROUND OF INVENTION This invention relates to a container and cover combination wherein the cover, when installed, will provide a reasonably tight seal between the parts. The principal object of the combination is to provide such a sealed container arrangement which is simple in construction and can be easily manipulated by the user.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION The combination of a container and cover with the container having an upstanding sidewall portion terminating at an upper edge portion. The cover member has a groove formed therein adapted to receive the upper edge portion of the container sidewall. The cover further includes a panel portion, a centrally located button portion and a hinge portion connecting the button portion to the panel portion, all of which portions are formed integrally with each other. The button portion is adapted to be flexed downwardly when pressure is exerted on the top thereof and it is further adapted to return to its undepressed position when pressure thereon is relieved.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container and cover member embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary cross sectional view showing the cover and container in disassembled position;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary cross sectional view of the cover and container in an intermediate position the parts assume during the installation of the cover on the container; and
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view of the cover and container in assembled position.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The cover and container of this invention may be made from any suitable plastic material. The container is provided with upstanding walls 12 which, adjacent their top, gradually increase in radial thickness toward their uppermost edge to a slightly greater wall thickness at their upper edges as shown by the reference numeral 14. The cover member 16 is provided with a circular groove 18 on the lower peripheral face thereof which groove is adapted to receive the upper edge 14 of the container. In the preferred embodiment the groove 18 is formed by means of offset wall portions 20, 22, 24, 26 and a depending outer wall portion 28, all of which are of substantially the same thickness. A horizontally extending flange 30 is provided around the periphery of wall 28 to facilitate handling of the cover member during its installation and removal from the container.
The top panel 32 of the cover is provided with a central button portion 34 which is formed integrally with the panel 32 and connected thereto by a circular hinge portion 36 having a wall thickness somewhat less than the wall thickness of the panel and button portions 32 and 34. Cover member 16 is also provided with a tab member 38 the purpose of which will be explained hereinafter.
The cover panel 32, button portion 34 and hinge portion 36 are so constructed that the inherent resiliency of the material tends to force the button Ipprtion 34 to its upper position like that shown In F S. 2 and 4 should it be depressed to the position shown in FIG. 3.
The steps of installing the cover 16 to its sealed position on the container 10 are as follows:
The cover is first pressed onto the container whereby top edge 14 of the container is fully inserted into the groove 18 in the cover. The button portion 34 of the cover member is then depressed which is easily accomplished by pressing thereon with the thumb. The depression of the button portion 34 will create a slight increase in pressure on the inside of the container.
The next step is to crack open the cover with the button depressed which step is shown in FIG. 3. To facilitate the cracking open of the cover, a tab member 38 is provided. With the cover in the FIG. 3 position the pressure on the inside and outside of the container will be equalized. The next step is to press the tab 38 downwardly causing the cracked open portion to be fully reinstalled which step is performed with the button portion still in its depressed position.
The final step is to release the button portion 34 with the cover fully installed. The button portion, when released, will move to its original position because of the inherent resiliency of the material tending to force it upwardly. This upward movement of button portion 34 will cause a slight increase in the internal volume of the container which in turn will cause a slight decrease in the pressure inside the container. The resultant pressure differential wherein the pressure on the outside is slightly greater than the pressure on the inside will act to force the cover into its sealed position to thereby provide a reasonably tight hermetic seal between the cover and container.
I claim:
1. The combination of a container and cover therefor comprising:
a container having an upstanding sidewall portion terminating at an upper edge portion, said upstanding sidewall portion gradually increasing in radial thickness toward its uppermost edge to provide an increased wall thickness at the upper edge thereof;

a tab member extending generally outwardly from the exterior surface of the outer wall of the said groove of said cover member.
