Definitions

  • the present'invention is concerned with a plastic container having a bottom portion adapted to form a storage space and made of a relatively thin, preferably embossed, flexible plastic material, and Mid mer'nberadapted to be inserted when clos-' inserted into the opening of the container, to close the coning the container, inside the edges of bottom portion at the opening thereof, the sidewalls of the bottom portion at said opening presenting a step-forming increaseflof the internal dimensions ofthe bottom portion, thereby forming an abutment surface fof the'lid member, and also a slight increase in wall thickness between the lid abutment surface and the top of said sidewalls, said'increase.
  • the object of the presentinvention is to provide in a container which presents a uniform material thickness of the bottom portion thereof and the wall members of which are relatively thin and flexible, but which presents considerable stability when the lid is applied, a means by which the lid and bottom portion canbe-connected together so that they cannot be separated unintentionally but which nevertheless enables the lid to be removed and replaced re-' peatedly without impairing the effective sealing of the container.
