A container lid is provided herein having structurally reinforcing ribs therein. The ribs increase the strength of the lid across a central region thereof. Specifically, the lid can have an outer perimeter and the ribs can be spaced inwardly from the outer perimeter. The inwardly spaced ribs can provide a distinct look for consumer differentiation. Additionally, the ribs can be arcuate so that they generally follow a curvature of the outer perimeter of the lid. As such, a label region within the lid central region is preserved, while the lid is still strengthened by the ribs.

Container and lid

A container lid () is provided herein having structurally reinforcing ribs () therein. The ribs () increase the strength of the lid across a central region thereof. Specifically, the lid can have an outer perimeter and the ribs can be spaced inwardly from the outer perimeter. The inwardly spaced ribs () can provide a distinct look for consumer differentiation. Additionally, the ribs can be arcuate so that they generally follow a curvature of the outer perimeter of the lid. As such, a label region () within the lid central region is preserved, while the lid is still strengthened by the ribs.

Container

A container includes a body forming an interior and having a sidewall with a distal edge portion forming an opening to the interior. A liner is disposed over the opening and includes an inner portion and an outermost radial portion disposed radially outwardly of the distal edge portion. A lid including an interior surface and at least one tab projecting inward from the interior surface is disposed over the liner and engages the body. The liner is sized to be releasably rotatably secured within the lid while the lid is initially attached to the body so that the at least one tab remains generally rotationally fixed relative to the outermost radial portion while being assembled to the body. The at least one tab is arrange to press the outermost radial portion while the lid is being removed from the body so that the outermost radial portion maintains a bent orientation.

Method and container lid to manipulate a container opening liner

A lid for a jar and a jar and lid combination for a product is provided. The lid is configured to be selectively removable from the jar. The lid is also configured to be selectively openable when attached to the jar in order to permit access to the interior and any contents of the jar. The lid has a non-continuous bead that is positioned to engage a protuberance on a rim of the jar to secure the lid relative to the rim of the jar while permitting selective removal of the lid from the rim of the jar.
