Plastic bucket with lid and sealing lip

A plastic bucket provided with a lid, the bucket comprising a bottom wall and at least one sidewall terminates at an upper side of the bucket having only a single upper edge with a plurality of circumferential positions, the lid comprising a top wall and a depending circumferential apron by means of which the lid is clampable onto the single upper edge, the bucket comprising adjacent the upper edge a circumferential rib extending substantially perpendicularly to the bucket, which merges into a depending edge extending substantially parallel to the sidewall, the circumferential rib and the depending edge connecting thereto being provided with a profile to which connects a free lower edge of the depending circumferential apron of the lid, in a closed position of the lid, in such a manner that the free lower edge is not grippable for user, the bucket comprising a removable sealing lip which is located adjacent the circumferential rib and the depending edge connecting thereto, at a sealing position at one circumferential position, the sealing lip in a sealed condition preventing gripping of the free lower edge of the lid, while after removal of the sealing lip gripping the free lower edge of the lid at the sealing position is possible, characterized in that gripping the free lower edge of the lid at the sealing position after removal of the sealing lip is possible in that the shape of the circumferential rib, and the depending edge connecting thereto, at the sealing position deviates with respect to the shape thereof at the other circumferential positions, this deviating shape, however, being such, in each case, that the circumferential rib, throughout the circumference and hence also at the sealing position, extends adjacent the upper edge of the bucket, in such a manner that the stiffness of the bucket is substantially the same throughout the circumference thereof.
