- CONTAINER LID [ Oct. 14, 1975 154] Inventor: Stanford W. Bird, 745 three Fountains Circle, Salt Lake City,
- CONTAINER LID BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION attractively display the food while at the same time providing for convenience; of handling.
- Such bucket-type containers have frequently been made of cardboardor other such easily fonned, low cost and grease absorbing material and generally have included a snap-in or snap-on lid of the same or a different material, such as -plastic.
- These known lids have frequently been difficult to position on the container, or have fallen from the container after being positioned thereon, as the container is subjected to normal handling.
- Some, flat snap-in type lids have been too difficult to remove and, there has not, to my knowledge, heretofore been available a lid that .will easily seal such bucket-type containers, maintain the seal during normal handling, still be easily removed, when desired by the user, and that will additionally function as a serving bowl.
- Principal objects of the present invention are to provide a lid, suitable for use on bucket-type food containers and the like having semi-rigid walls and an open upper end with a surrounding rim.
- a lid configured such that it can be readily and inexpensively formed from thermoplastic materials; that will readily snap onto a bucket-type contain er rim; that will be considerably more difficult to remove from than to install on a container; and that will not pop off the container when the container is tipped, squeezed or otherwise handled during usage.
- Still other objects are to provide a lid that will allow attractive display of goods in the container on which the lid is installed; secure stacking of another container thereon; ready exit of steam from the contained food; and use as a serving bowl.
- FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of the lid of the invention installed on a bucket-type container;
- FIG. 2 a top plan view of the lid
- FIG. 3 a vertical section taken on the line 33 of FIG. 1; and 1 FIG. "4, a perspective view,
- the lid of the invention shown ge'nerally'at l0 and made in one piece from a suitable strong, flexible material such as plastic, is adapted to be installed, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, on a bucket-type container 11. 1
- Lid l0 includes'a peripheral side wall 16 extending from a rimmed top, shown generally at 17.
- a rim 18 formed at the'top of 'wall 16 extends above and around a generally flat base surface 19 having spaced bosses 20 projecting therefrom into the area surrounded by the wall. Holes 21 are formed in ends of the bosses 20 for purposes which will hereinafter become apparent.
- the edge of wall 16 opposite to rim 18 is formed to have an inner bead 22 and an outer flange 23.
- the inner bead is preferably formed by reversely turning the wall 16 and the outer flange 23 is formed as a continuation of and is integral with the outwardly flaring wall 16.
- Elongate projections 24 are spaced around the outer flange and project inwardly to snap under edge 12 when the lid is installed on the container 11, as shown in FIG. 3.
- a portion of wall 16 is provided with side-byside roll pleats 26 that terminate at rim 18.
- the pleated configuration provides columnar strength to the side wall and strengthens it against buckling as the lid is installed, handled and used as a support for other items stacked thereon.
- wall 16 flares outwardly from flat surface 19.
- the wall 16 cams further outwardly until the elongate projections 24 move over the edge 12.
- the inner bead 22 and the outer flange 23 then engage opposite sides of edge 12, and flange 23 and elongate projections 24 engage opposite sides of edge 12 to clamp the lid to the container. If the side wall of the container is defomied, as it may be by a person carrying the container, the inner bead and flange 23 remain in contact with edge 12 to deform the lid in conformance with the deformation of the container. The lid, therefore, does not separate from the container as the container is handled.
- the lid is removed from container 11 by inserting fingers beneath flange 23 in the area of an elongate projection 24 and prying out and up (when the lid is above the container).
- prying action must occur adjacent to two of the spaced elongate projections 24, before the lid will readily separate from the containenThus, while the lid is readily installed on the container, merely by positioning it and applying a slight central pressure, it is much more difficult to remove. Accordingly, very little time and effort is required to protect food items packaged in the container, but the items remain protected until a deliberate effort is made to remove the lid.
- a one-piece lid for a container comprising a flat base surface
