Abstract
A multi-piece pail lid features a mounting base having an outer rim matable to the container, and a recessed center wall bound by the mounting rim and embodying at least one opening for introduction or pouring of a pourable medium to or from the pail. A separate removable cover is selectively engageable to the mounting base in a closed position seated atop the recessed center wall and closing the hole(s) therein. An inside of the mounting rim, at one half thereof, is undercut to accept angulated insertion of a perimeter margin of the cover, and holding clips on the other half are usable to lock the cover in place once inserted to, and laid flat on, the mounting base. The recessed center wall of the mounting base is reinforced to allow pail stacking and the clip-held closure of the cover has sufficient strength for use of vacuum palletizers thereon.
