Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A container ( 210 ) for holding granular or powdered material and formed by a top wall ( 212 ), a bottom wall ( 214 ), a front wall ( 216 ), a rear wall ( 218 ), a first side wall ( 220 ), and a second side wall ( 222 ). A rotatably removable lid (D) is interiorly mounted with a scoop ( 32 ) and is pivotally hinged to a collar ( 300 ) that includes a sealing gasket ( 330 ). The collar ( 300 ) mounts to the walls of the container ( 210 ). A sealing wall 240 of the lid (D) cooperates with the gasket 300 to prevent the contents from spilling. The container ( 210 ) incorporates powder control features, a container wall junction ( 50 ) preferred geometry and congruent scoop ( 32 ) enabling convenient access to the contents, a tolerance variation accommodating and strength improving, J-shaped collar ( 300 ) and interlocking indentations ( 290 ) and flex clips ( 310 ), and a pressure controlling portion ( 350 ) that prevents unwanted deformation due to pressure differentials.
