摘要

A vent assembly for the top panel of a seal for a food container including a vent hole in the seal panel at least partially surrounded by an upwardly opening recess with the vent hole and recess being below the upper surface of the seal panel. A vent cover, including a depending plug selectively receivable in the vent hole, is pivotally mounted by a hinge assembly which included a hinge pin on said cover received within spaced trunnion openings in the recess adjacent the vent hole. The trunnion openings are laterally enlarged relative to the pin diameter and of a generally non-symmetric oval configuration.
