CONTAINER WITH A LID-COLLAR ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017891 titled 'CONTAINER WITH A LID-COLLAR ASSEMBLY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a container with a main body that has one or more sidewalls, an interior surface, and an exterior surface. The sidewalls have an upper portion with a circular opening to the interior compartment and an annular flange extending from the exterior surface. The container also includes a lid-collar assembly, where a lid is attached to a collar affixed to the main body. The collar has an inner side surface positioned radially outward of the annular flange and a plurality of longitudinally extending ribs spaced apart on the inner side surface. These ribs engage the annular flange to resist rotation of the lid-collar assembly relative to the main body.

  • The container has a main body with sidewalls, an interior compartment, and a lid-collar assembly.
  • The lid-collar assembly includes a lid attached to a collar affixed to the main body.
  • The collar has ribs that engage the annular flange on the sidewalls to prevent rotation of the lid-collar assembly.
  • The design of the container allows for easy opening and closing of the lid while maintaining a secure fit.
  • The engagement between the ribs and the annular flange provides stability and prevents accidental rotation of the lid-collar assembly.

Potential Applications

  • Food storage containers
  • Beverage containers
  • Pharmaceutical packaging
  • Cosmetic containers

Problems Solved

  • Prevents accidental rotation of the lid-collar assembly, ensuring a secure closure of the container.
  • Provides stability and resistance to rotation, preventing spills or leaks.
  • Allows for easy opening and closing of the container without compromising the seal.

Benefits

  • Improved convenience and ease of use for consumers.
  • Enhanced safety and security of the container contents.
  • Reduces the risk of spills or leaks during transportation or storage.
