Abstract
A food storage appliance is provided including a housing, a lid pivotally attached to the housing movable between an open and closed position, an elongated heat sealing element, an elongated resilient bumper mounted on an underside of the lid with a plurality of elastic members which bias the bumper into an extended position when the lid is open, and when the lid is moved to the closed position the bumper sandwiches a portion of a food storage container to be sealed against the heat sealing element while the elastic members allow the bumper to adjust to maintain even pressure on the food storage container along the elongated heat sealing element.
