A combination container and lid for storing food or other air perishable products. The container includes a wall having a sealing rim extending about the periphery thereof. The rim includes three surfaces. The lid includes peripheral sealing means in the form of a peripheral flange and an annular rib spaced from the flange and defining therebetween an annular recess. The annular recess is adapted to receive the rim of the container. The flange is somewhat resilient and includes an angled surface to cooperate with a portion of the rim to insure that the rim is fully seated with the recess, whereupon three separate annular, fluid-tight seals are produced.

Combination storage container and triple seal lid

An integrally molded storage receptacle having sidewalls which taper slightly from front to back to facilitate removal of the receptacle from the mold in which it is made. The receptacle also includes pairs of compensating ribs to enable it to be stacked on similarly constructed receptacles while maintaining vertical alignment. The receptacle also includes a transparent pivotable door.

Stackable integrally molded receptacle

A refrigerator container for food. The container includes a receptacle portion comprising a plastic which is resistant to flexing and a lid for sealing the container. The lid has an inflexible portion which comprises a material having the same shrink properties as the receptacle and a resilient portion, the inflexible portion including a peripheral flange which extends parallel to the inner surface of the mouth of the receptacle portion, the outer surface of the peripheral flange being substantially the size of but slightly smaller than the inner surface of the mouth of the receptacle portion. The resilient portion of the lid includes a peripheral flange that fits about and closely adjacent the outer surface of the peripheral flange of the inflexible portions so that when the lid is used to close the container there is a tight fit between the lid and the mouth of the receptacle as the flange of the inflexible portion is urged against the flange of the resilient portion. The inflexible portion of the lid has the same shrink characteristics as the receptacle portion so that a tight fit between the lid and the receptacle at room temperature remains tight when the container is placed in a refrigerator.
