Container and lid assembly

摘要

A container and lid assembly are provided. The lid assembly has a base configured to engage an opening of the container. A hole in the base allows access to an interior chamber of the container. A surface extends upwardly and outwardly from the hole to act as a funnel to direct material towards the hole. A cover is rotatably coupled to the base to allow selective access to the hole.

1. A lid assembly for a container for containing a granular solid material, the container having an opening, the lid assembly comprising:
a base adapted to engage and interfit within the opening of the container, the base having a front section, a rear section, an upper surface, and an opposed lower surface, the base comprising:
a first panel having first and second surfaces angularly oriented relative to one another to form a bridge wall, wherein a hole is defined in a portion of the first panel, wherein the hole places the upper surface of the base in communication with the opposed lower surface of the base, wherein the first surface is positioned between the hole and the second surface, wherein the bridge wall separates the front section of the base from the rear section of the base, and wherein the bridge wall is configured to restrict flow of the granular solid material from the front section to the rear section of the base;a sidewall attached to and surrounding the first panel to define a well, the sidewall adapted to engage the opening of the container;a third surface at least partially surrounding the hole; anda fourth surface positioned in the rear section of the base, wherein the fourth surface and a portion of an inner surface of the sidewall cooperate to define a cavity in the base, wherein an aperture is defined therein the cavity, wherein the aperture is flush with the upper surface of the base and places the upper surface of the base in communication with the opposed lower surface of the base, and wherein the aperture is configured to receive any granular solid material within the cavity and return the granular solid material to the container; and a cover mounted within the well in spaced relation from and overlying the first panel, wherein the cover is selectively rotatable relative to the base about and between an open position providing access to the hole, and a closed position in which access to the hole is restricted, and wherein in the closed position, at least a portion of the cover engages at least a portion of the first panel.
