Definitions

  • the lip includes three corner portions and three sides, wherein the sides of the lip are structured differently than the corner portions of the lip to increase the relative rigidity of the sides with respect to the corner portions such that the corner portions and the sides are adapted to exhibit a substantially uniform reaction pressure when applying a membrane lid to the lip of the container.
  • FIG. 5 A is a partial sectional view along line 5A-5A of FIG. 5;
  • FIG. 7A is an enlarged view of the second embodiment of the lip structure
  • the seal strength is often a function of pressure, temperature and/or adhesive between the membrane lid and the container during the sealing process.
  • the inherent properties of a non-circular container lip shape may cause uneven vertical rigidity. Uneven rigidity typically causes varying reaction pressures at various locations around the lip. To ensure a sufficient hermetic seal at all locations of the lip, the membrane lid application force must be increased to provide the minimum required reaction pressure at all locations around the lip. Accordingly, areas having the lowest rigidity will have the required minimum reaction pressure necessary to achieve the hermetic seal, however, the points along the lip having a higher reaction pressure will provide an excessive seal strength that may prove difficult for a consumer to overcome.
  • a "substantially uniform pressure” may include pressures that are different but more uniform than would otherwise be exhibited by comer portions and sides having substantially the same lip stmcture.
  • the upward angle of the top surface also assists in providing a substantially uniform reaction pressure along the lip upon application of the membrane and alleviates the impact of imperfections in the lip resulting from trimming, mold parting lines and the like. While the top surface is illustrated as being directed upwardly and inwardly, the top surface could alternatively be oriented to extend upwardly and outwardly.
