Abstract
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.
