Abstract (en)
A non-planar seal between a container (10) having a base (12) and lid (14). The base (12) has a rim (22) which includes a first seal component (28). The lid has a rim (26) which includes a second seal component (30). The first and second seal components (28,30) interact to provide a seal, for example a water-tight seal, when the lid (14) is mounted to the container (10) to thus protect the contents of the container (10). The seal is formed along a locus of points defining a non-linear plane, or curved surface. The first and second seal components (28,30) are oriented so as to extend substantially normal to the non-linear plane at any given point along the seal. This arrangement permits greater design possibilities due to fewer restraints on seal component placement, while still providing excellent sealing properties for the container (10).
