Abstract
A paperboard container for releasably dispensing contents contained therein is convertible from a substantially sealed orientation to a substantially open, dispensing orientation and back to the substantially sealed orientation. The container comprises a tubular body member, a bottom member and a top member, with the top member being telescopically received within the body member to seal the top member to the body member. The top member has a closure member that is repositionable to the sealed orientation to substantially reseal the container member.

A paperboard container for releasably dispensing contents contained therein, the container being convertible from a substantially sealed orientation to a substantially open, dispensing orientation and back to the substantially sealed orientation, the paperboard container comprising:
- a substantially tubular body member having an upper edge defining an upper opening;
- a bottom affixed to the body member;
- a top member substantially corresponding in shape to the shape of the upper opening,
- the top member having a lid panel extending across at least a portion of the upper opening of the tubular body, a support member mounted to the lid panel, a paperboard closure member connected to and movable relative to at least one of the lid panel and the support member, an outer edge having a peripheral shape, the peripheral shape being larger than the peripheral shape of each of the upper edge and the upper opening of the container member,
- the top member being telescopically received within the upper opening of the container member, with the upper edge of the container member being rolled up over the outer edge of the top member to seal the top member to the paperboard container;
- the closure member oriented substantially completely above the support member;
- the closure member being movable from a sealed position to a open position in a plane substantially parallel to the lid panel;
- and
- the top member being repositionable to the sealed orientation to substantially reseal the container member.
