POLYMER-LAMINATED METAL LID - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009964 titled 'POLYMER-LAMINATED METAL LID

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is related to a container comprising a body and a lid. The body has a base, a side wall, and an interior region defined by the base and the side wall. The lid includes a lid wall and a skirt that extends from the periphery of the lid wall. The skirt engages the body to secure the lid on the body, and together with the lid wall, it defines a cavity. The lid is made of a laminate consisting of a metal layer and a polymer layer attached to the metal layer. The polymer layer is positioned inside the metal layer with respect to the cavity. When the container is closed, a portion of the body is located inside the cavity. The patent application also relates to a method of manufacturing the lid.

  • The container consists of a body and a lid.
  • The lid is secured to the body by a skirt that extends from the lid wall.
  • The lid and skirt define a cavity.
  • The lid is made of a laminate with a metal layer and a polymer layer.
  • The polymer layer is positioned inside the metal layer with respect to the cavity.
  • The body is partially located inside the cavity when the container is closed.
  • The patent application also covers the method of manufacturing the lid.

Potential Applications

  • Food and beverage containers
  • Storage containers for various products
  • Packaging for sensitive or fragile items

Problems Solved
