Container closure

A table that is useful alone and in combination with a tray and/or other inserts supported atop the table. The table is of a unitary molded plastic construction and is configured for nested stacking with like tables for convenient and compact storage and handling. The table has a top surface of regular polygonal shape with four truncated corners, and a plurality of legs depending from the table top at respective ones of the truncated corners. The legs, going from top to bottom, diverge outwardly with each being in the form of a channel that opens inwardly for nested receipt of a corresponding leg of a subjacent table of like construction. The table top has an upstanding marginal rim extending along the peripheral edge of the top surface thereof, and the marginal rim functions to prevent objects from rolling or sliding off the top surface and/or as containment structure for an insert such as a decorative panel and/or a removable tray that may have a design printed thereon. The table and tray combination can be stacked in nested relationship with like tray and table combinations.

Stackable table, table assembly, and tray and table combination

A closure or lid for use with a container having an open end and a rim extending along the perimeter of the open end. The closure comprises a center portion which covers the container and an integral wall structure extending along the periphery of the center portion, the wall structure designed to attach the closure to the rim. The wall portion includes an inner wall adjacent the center portion, an outer wall spaced from the rim and a joining wall connecting the inner wall and the outer wall and forming a cavity therebetween, the rim being received into the cavity. The inner surface of the outer wall includes an inwardly extending projection which interlocks with a projection on the container rim and holds the lid onto the container. The outer wall is further provided with a plurality of slots which divide the outer wall into a plurality of separate and individual sections to allow for easy removal.
