CONTAINER SEAL WITH DEFLECTING LIP

摘要

A container for storing matter provides a container body (12) having a resilient flange (20) protruding outward therefrom to form a seal between the container body and a mating closure (14). The resilient flange (20) is deflected by the inner surface (30) of the mating closure to form a first releasable seal (44) between the closure (14) and the container body (12). The resilient flange (20) includes an aspect ratio of length divided by thickness. A second releasable seal (54) is formed in some embodiments between the upper edge of the side wall (16) and the closure (14) when the mating closure is positioned on the container body.
