<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a container with a grippable body and a lid. <P>SOLUTION: A container 14 comprises a container body 19 and a lid 10. The lid 10 has a top 11 and a skirt 12 and an outer layer 13 of a material softer than the skirt is adhered to the outer surface of the skirt. The outer layer may have a thickness of at least 20 mils (about 0.51 mm) and may be molecularly bonded to the skirt. Advantageously, the outer layer covers substantially the entire surface of the skirt. The lid may be formed using a two-shot injection molding process in which the lid is formed in a first step and the outer layer of a softer material is formed on the skirt of the lid during the second step of the two-shot injection molding process. In addition, the container body includes one or more grippable surfaces 20 and 22 as areas of relatively higher coefficients of friction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
