DOMED LID FOR REFUSE CONTAINER

摘要

A domed lid for a waste receptacle is disclosed and comprises a domed extern al surface (4) and a frontal recess (12) formed therein. A door (20) is pivotal ly mounted within the recess and has a central domed surface (34) surrounded by an edge flange border (36). A raised ridge (44) extends about the door peripher y, and defines a channel with the door surface (34) positioned to collect water fro m sides of the lid (14,16) and direct the collected water downward over a radiused lowe r recess sidewall (18) and there to a lower rim of the lid. The lid further comprised spring members (30) which bias the door flange (36) against inward lid surfaces defining the recess, further deterring the entry of water around the door and into the interior of the lid. The shape of the recess and door further enable the lid to interstack with like- configured lids for efficiency in shipping and display at retail.
