LID, LID AND CONTAINER ASSEMBLY, AND METHOD OF SECURING A LID TO A CONTAINER

摘要

A container and lid assembly includes a container and a lid. The container has bottom and a container sidewall extending generally upwardly from the bottom about a perimeter thereof. The container sidewall has an upper edge structure defining an inwardly inclined, inwardly facing lid engagement surface. The lid has a top and a lid sidewall depending from the top about a perimeter thereof. The lid sidewall has an upturned lower edge structure defining an outwardly extending lid shoulder and an inwardly inclined, outwardly facing container engagement surface. The lower edge structure of the lid sidewall corresponds in size and shape to the upper edge structure of the container sidewall, and the lid is securable to the container by an interference fit with the lid engagement surface engaging the container engagement surface about the respective perimeters of the container and the lid.
