METHOD OF MAKING A BAYONET SEALING CLOSURE FOR CONTAINERS AND LIDS

摘要

A method for forming a container assembly (100) having a lid (30), a container (10) and a cooperative closure mechanism (50), includes providing a lid form (114) and flexible members (162) biased toward the lid form, wherein the lid form (114) and the flexible members (162) are operable between a forming position defined by the lid form exerting a biasing force against the flexible members (162), and an extraction position defined by the biasing force being substantially removed from the flexible members (162), creating a lid form cavity (116) defined by the lid form and the flexible members disposed in the forming position, injecting a lid material throughout the lid form cavity to form a lid, disposing the lid form and the flexible members (162) in the extraction position, wherein the lid form is moved distal from the lid and the flexible members are biased away from the lid to separate the lid from the flexible members (162).
