Abstract (en)

[origin: US2002175173A1] A plastic container with a snap lid and with a snap element provided on an upper edge area of the container for the lid to snap onto, where the lid being snapped onto the container has an area that comes into tight contact with the upper edge area of the container, the areas of the lid and of the container cooperating under tight contact generate a sealing region. The object of the invention is to design a plastic container with snap lid, which reliably fulfils special demands on leak-proofness. To this end, the sealing region between the container and the lid is provided with a circumferential seal made of a material of greater elasticity than the container and the lid and in that the seal is integrally moulded on at least one of the cooperation areas of the lid and of the container generating the sealing region. The seal can be located in a circumferential groove in the lid. The seal can have two sealing regions spaced apart that are at different angles to the main axis of the container, where the container and/or lid has areas that provide for tight contact on the sealing regions. The container and the seal are provided with elevations in the form of ribs which come into contact when the lid is on. At the height of the seal, the outer flank of the groove on the lid laterally contacts the outside of the container.
