| 20090166369 | CONTAINER HAVING AN ARTICULATED COVER - The covers stack together in two different ways. First, the covers can be stacked into an “aligned” stack. The aligned stack provides structural rigidity for bulk handling during manufacturing. Second, the covers can be stacked into a “locked” stack. The locked stack provides even more structural rigidity than does the aligned stack and is useful when storing unused covers. The cover includes a first closure portion, an engagement portion, and an alignment portion. The base includes a second closure portion. The first closure portion of the cover is sealingly engageable with the second closure portion of the base to define a sealed storage area. The alignment portion of the cover is engageable with the alignment portion of a second cover to form an aligned cover stack. The engagement portion of the cover is engageable with the engagement portion of a second cover to form a locked cover stack. The cover further includes at least one articulation element circumscribing the engagement portion of the cover and that provides flexibility to the cover allowing the engagement portion of the cover to easily articulate upwardly or downwardly. | 07-02-2009 |

To aid in resisting undetectable tampering, the container has a post which projects from the side wall and extends less than the length of the side wall within the container. The post has an engaging wall which faces towards a base sealing wall and which is spaced from the sealing wall to define a gap which receives the closed lid's projecting member. Distortion of the closed container which tends to urge the lid projecting member away from the base sealing wall engages it with the post engaging wall to resist tampering. | 09-25-2014 |
| 20140312046 | CONTAINER STRUCTURE WITH OPENING IDENTIFICATION FUNCTIONS - A container structure with opening identification functions has a container body, limit ring flange, cover body, engaging flange and a concealed prebreaking portion. The prebreaking portion must be set onto the container body but also located at a preset position inside the limit ring flange. When the cover body is covered onto the container body, the outer edge of the cover body is extended to conceal the prebreaking portion. Because the prebreaking portion is concealed by the cover body, when the consumers intend to take or carry the container body, or open or close the cover body, it is possible to avoid discomfort or accidental injury arising from contact with the broken position of the prebreaking portion. Further, ill-disposed individuals cannot easily open the cover body and insert foreign or harmful substances, thus ensuring the quality and safety of products in the container body. | 10-23-2014 |
