Abstract
A universal container seal for sealing a container opening includes a resilient body having a top surface and a bottom surface. The body is further configured in a geometric plan form and having a width significantly greater than a thickness, the thickness being greater at a center of the resilient body than at a periphery of the resilient body. At least one gripping portion extends from the top surface of the body. A central portion of the bottom surface of the resilient body is concave. The concave central portion can be in vertical registration with one or more gripping portions.
Claims20
A universal container seal for sealing a container opening, said seal comprising:
- a resilient body having a top surface and a bottom surface, said body being resiliently deformable from a first position in which said body is configured in a geometric plan form to a second deformed position in which said body adopts an upwardly facing concave configuration, wherein in said first position the body has a width significantly greater than a thickness, said thickness being greater at a center of said resilient body than at a periphery of said resilient body;
- and
- at least one gripping portion extending from said top surface;
- wherein
- a central portion of said bottom surface is concave.
A universal container seal for sealing a container opening, said seal comprising:
- a resilient body having a top surface and a bottom surface, said body being deformable from a first portion in which said body is configured in a geometric plan form to a second deformed position in which said body adopts an upwardly facing concave configuration, wherein in said first position the body has a width significantly greater than a thickness, and wherein in said first position a central portion of said bottom surface is concave and at least a portion of said bottom surface is convex, said convexity intersecting at least a portion of said top surface, said intersection defining at least a portion of a periphery of said body;
- and
- at least one gripping portion extending from said top surface.
A universal container seal for sealing a container opening, said seal comprising:
- a resilient body having a top surface and a bottom surface, said body further configured in a geometric plan form and having a width significantly greater than a thickness, said thickness being greater at a center of said resilient body than at a periphery of said resilient body;
- and
- at least one gripping portion extending from said top surface of said body, one of said at least one gripping portion being a central gripping portion that extends upwardly from said center of said top surface;
- wherein
- a central portion of said bottom surface in vertical registration with said central gripping portion is concave;
- and wherein
- said body and said at least one gripping portion are integrally molded.
