Container

A sealable container, 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 defines a sealing flange, the sealing flange having an internal edge that defines an opening to the interior space;
• a collar having an interior surface adapted to fit around the container near the upper portion and defining a subcollar space between the exterior surface of the container and the interior surface of the collar, the collar having an integral gasket projecting inwardly and in a direction to be biased against the sealing flange;
• a removable lid pivotable about the collar and having an interior surface which, when in a closed position, is adapted to cover and seal the opening, the lid having a sealing wall depending from its surface and projecting toward the sealing flange and being dimensioned to remain inward of the sealing flange when in the closed position;
• and
• wherein when the lid is in the closed position, the gasket, the sealing wall and the sealing flange are dimensioned such that the sealing wall biases the integral gasket against the internal edge of the sealing flange to seal the subcollar space from the container interior.

A sealable container, 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 defines a sealing flange, the sealing flange having an internal edge that defines an opening to the interior space;
• a collar having an interior surface adapted to fit around the container near the upper portion and defining a subcollar space between the exterior surface of the container and the interior surface of the collar;
• a collar-mounted removable lid having an interior surface which, when in a closed position, is adapted to cover and seal the opening, the lid having a sealing wall depending from its interior surface and projecting toward the sealing flange and being dimensioned to remain inward of the sealing flange when in the closed position, the lid further having a substantially domed central section of dimensions less than the sealing wall and joined to the lid by an angled wall tapering from the domed central section down to the interior surface proximate to the sealing wall;
• and
• wherein, upon righting a disoriented container having contents, the angled wall and the sealing wall cooperate to direct the contents packed against the interior surface of the lid down into the interior space of the container to substantially prevent entry into the subcollar space.

A sealable container and scoop system, comprising:

• a container having 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 a collar and having an interior surface which, when in a closed position, is adapted to cover and seal the opening;
• 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 the junctions between the walls and between the walls and the bottom surface of the container, and
• a scoop holder projecting from the interior surface of the lid, the scoop holder having brackets with a cover and a restraint;
• wherein when the scoop is retained in the scoop holder, the restraint captures the handle to prevent movement and the cover seals the bowl to prevent the contents from entering the bowl.

A sealable container, 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 defines an opening to the interior space, the upper portion also defining on the exterior surfaces of the walls a plurality of indentations projecting interiorly and open exteriorly, the indentations having a downwardly facing top surface;
• a collar having an interior surface adapted to fit around the container about the upper portion to define a subcollar space between the exterior surface of the container and the interior surface of the collar;
• and wherein the collar further includes a plurality of attaching means juxtaposed to correspond with the plurality of indentations, each attaching means having an upward-facing surface for engaging against the downwardly facing top surface of the plurality of indentations, thereby holding the collar to the upper end of the container, and
• wherein said plurality of indentations comprises a continuous groove in opposing walls of the container.

A sealable container, 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 defines an opening to the interior space, the walls joining a bottom surface;
• a removable lid having an interior surface which, when in a closed position, is adapted to cover and seal the opening;
• and
• wherein the bottom surface comprises an outer planar portion for resting on a surface and a central raised stiffener portion directed towards the interior space in a plurality of steps having riser and tread portions, the riser portions projecting in a direction substantially upward relative to the outer planar portion and the tread portions being approximately parallel to the outer planar portion, and wherein the plurality of steps are configured to be substantially congruent to a top wall of the lid such that the sealable container is stackable.
