Abstract

A container (210) for holding granular/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 removable lid (D) is interiorly mounted with a scoop (32) and is 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 (330) to prevent the contents from spilling. The container (210) incorporates sealing features, and a geometry for container wall junctions (50) that can have curvilinear and angled or rectilinear profiles. A scoop 32 is releasably carried in the lid (L, D) and can include a rim portion (36,a,b,c) that can be formed and or flexed to be congruent to the profiles.

Dependent claims

A sealable container and scoop system, comprising:

walls defining interior and exterior surfaces and an interior space, the walls having an upper portion near an upper end of the walls that define an opening to the interior space, the walls joining each other and a bottom surface to define junctions having a particular cross-sectional geometry;
a removable lid hingedly attached to the collar and having an interior surface which, when in a closed position, is adapted to cover and seal the opening;
and
a scoop for removing contents from the interior space of the container, the scoop including a bowl with a rim substantially congruent to the particular cross-sectional geometry of a junction from the group including (1) the junction between the walls and (2) the junction between the walls and the bottom surface of the container.
