INTEGRATED CONTAINER/LID ASSEMBLY

摘要

An integrated assembly is described comprising a container and an elastic container lid. The container has an opening wall defining an opening of the container, with the opening wall having an outer peripheral surface. The elastic container lid is stretchably adjustable to cover the opening of the container, and includes a closure panel having a peripheral edge. According to the invention, a suitable adhesive is located along a predetermined portion of the outer peripheral surface of the opening wall of the container for securing a predetermined portion of the peripheral edge of the elastic container lid to the container. When the predetermined portion of the elastic container lid is secured to the container in this manner, a free portion of the elastic container lid is foldable into a first position leaving the opening of the container substantially unsealed, a second position leaving the opening of the container partly sealed and a third position wherein the container opening is sealed. A tab is attached to the closure panel for selectively moving the free portion of the container lid between the first, second and third positions.
