Patent attributes
A container and sealable cover in which the container has a bottom wall and an upstanding peripheral wall terminating in an upper edge surrounding an open mouth. The peripheral wall is inclined outwardly at a slight angle to the vertical or alternatively vertically disposed. A replaceable cover is provided with a central top planar wall and an inverted U-shaped periphery terminating in an outer rim skirt. A contiguous downwardly extending sealing fin is disposed inwardly of the skirt for forming an interference fit with the inside surface of the upper portion of the container peripheral wall when the cover is installed over the container mouth. The fin may be substantially vertically disposed or canted outwardly at a small angle to the vertical depending upon the inclination of the peripheral wall. A pair of latches are rotatably mounted on the cover adjacent the outer rim skirt and arranged to engage protruding latch hooks on the container peripheral wall to releasably secure the cover over the container mouth.
