RECEPTACLE WITH COVER FOR CONTAINING A FLUID MEDIUM

摘要

The invention relates to a container (4) with a lid (1) and comprising a conical body (5) provided with a closed bottom and an open uppermost end (6) comprising a cross-sectionally substantially semi-circular, outwardly facing first curled bead (7). The lid (1) is provided with a central part (2) radially circumscribed by a U-shaped stiffening groove (3), whose upwardly radially outermost branch (11) forms a conical surface (11) fitting to the inner uppermost portion (10) of the body (5) of the container (4). In order to ensure easy removal and reapplication of the lid (1) on the container (4) without deforming these parts the radially outermost branch (8) of the lid's U-shaped groove (12) is provided with a second curled bead (14) facing inwardly toward a first curled bead (7) of a closed container with lid applied so as to form a first space (12) housing a sealing compound between the respective curled beads (14, 7) of the lid (1) and the container (4). During this operation, the bottom (15) of the inverted U-shaped groove (12) of the lid (1) engages the uppermost end (6) of the container. The locking connection between the conical surfaces (10, 11) of the container (4) and the lid (1) is provided by means of indentations (9, 16) on the container (4) and the lid (1), said indentations snap-engage each other when the lid (1) is completely applied onto the container (4).
