US Classification:

2203661, 220 421, 220360, 220794

Abstract:

A venting container including a lid and base having an inner cavity and a side wall that terminates in a rim, the lid including a central panel and a peripheral sealing lip that surrounds the panel, the peripheral sealing lip having a generally inverted U-shaped cross section that defines a lid channel into which the container rim fits, the sealing lip including at least one venting feature in the form of a flexible venting button that is adapted to transition from a first position to a second position upon application of an actuation force, the venting button being further adapted and positioned whereby when the container rim is positioned in the lid channel and the venting button is in the first position, sealed engagement of the lid to the container is effectuated and when the venting button is in the second position a venting air passage is provided from the container cavity to the container surroundings. In a second embodiment, the venting feature is in the form of a downwardly protruding venting boss provided to the lid closure and a boss seat formed in the base closure whereby the venting boss is received with the boss seat when the lid is oriented in a first non venting attachment position and the venting boss abuts against a surface of the base closure to provide a vent passage between the lid and base upon removal and repositioning of the lid to a second venting attachment position.

International Classification:

B65D 21/036
B65D 43/03

US Classification:

220508, 220 236, 220509, 220781

Abstract:

A container includes a cover and a base . The cover of the container includes a first closure portion , an engagement portion , and an alignment portion. The base includes a second closure portion . The first closure portion of the cover is sealingly engageable with the second closure portion of the base to define a sealed storage area. Multiple covers stack together in two different ways. First, the covers may be stacked into an “aligned” stack. Second, the covers may be stacked into a locked stack. The alignment portion of the cover is engageable with the alignment portion of a second cover to form an aligned cover stack. The engagement portion of the cover is receivingly engageable by the engagement portion of a second cover to form a locked cover stack

International Classification:

B65D 33/28
B65D 33/00
B29C 55/18

US Classification:

383 75, 383105, 264167

Abstract:

A thermoplastic bag may include a sidewall that may have a plurality of first and second ribs formed therein. The first ribs may be longer in length but shorter in height than the second ribs. The second ribs may be arranged in discrete networks that appear superimposed over the first ribs. The second ribs may normally remain in a bent-over configuration. When a force is applied, the second ribs may expand the area of the sidewall so that the bag may easily accommodate large objects. To produce the bag, a thermoplastic web may be directed between opposing first and second rollers. One of the rollers may include ridges that may have first and second segments of differing heights that correspond to the differing heights of the first and second ribs. The formation of the first ribs may increase the width of the web.
