Abstract
The open ended container with resealable lid combination has a seal ring which cooperates with a seal engagement surface to provide a resealable construction to provide at least one of an airtight and watertight configuration after the lid has initially been removed from the container and re-applied. The seal engagement surface preferably provides at least two ramps and the seal ring deforms along at least one, if not both of the ramps.
Claims19
An open ended container with resealable lid combination comprising:
- a container having a bottom with upwardly extending sides terminating at a rim, an opening at an upper end of the sides providing an opening into an internal volume, said container further having a seal engagement surface comprising at least two ramps, each comprised of first and second surfaces meeting at one of points and curves;
- a lid having a first seal ring circumnavigating the lid,
- wherein said lid has an open configuration whereby the lid is displaced relative to the opening thereby permitting access into the internal volume of the container, and a closed configuration whereby the lid prevents access into the internal volume of the container;
- and
- after removing the lid from the container, the lid has a reseal configuration whereby the lid is reattached to the container and the first seal ring resiliently deforms against portions of the first and second surfaces of the first and second ramps to provide at least one of an airtight and watertight connection.

An open ended container with resealable lid combination comprising:
- a container having a bottom with upwardly extending sides terminating at a rim, outwardly directed threads, and an opening at an upper end of the sides providing an opening into an internal volume,
- a lid having a second seal ring circumnavigating the lid, and internally directed threads,
- wherein said lid has an open configuration whereby the lid is rotated relative to the container until the threads release thereby permitting access into the internal volume of the container, and a closed configuration whereby the lid is rotated onto the container to prevent access into the internal volume of the container;
- and
- after removing the lid from the container, the lid has a reseal configuration whereby the lid is reattached to the container through rotation and the second seal ring resiliently deforms against the rim to provide at least one of an airtight and watertight connection.
