ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a sealable container, particularly to one having two plate hooks respectively provided at two opposite sides of a cap of the container body to press tightly or loosen the cap to seal or free the cap on the container. The container has a recessed bottom wall in the bottom to fit with a convex upper surface of the cap and two opposite crescent grooves on two sides of the recessed bottom wall to fit with the shove surfaces of the two plate hooks so as to stabilize two containers put one on the other. A known conventional sealable container shown in
FIG. 1
has a container body
10
, a constrict ring
11
fitting around an annular groove
100
of the container body
10
. The constrict ring
11
has a constrict member
110
to constrict itself. A seal gasket
13
is adhered on the bottom of a cap
12
, which has an annular groove
120
for a position ring
14
to fit therein. The cap
12
is kept closed on the container
10
by means of a bent end
140
of the position ring
14
passing through and pivotally connected to a fix hole
111
of the constrict ring
11
. In using the conventional sealable container
10
, a U-shaped hook
112
of the constrict ring
11
is only swung up and engages a U-shaped ear
141
and a pusher
113
is swung up with the U-shaped hook
112
and pushed down, finishing sealing action of the cap
12
on the container body
10
.
However, the known conventional sealable container uses different materials for its different components, resulting in a high cost and slow assembling process. In addition, in storing them they have to be put one on the other, so they are apt to fall down or sway to and fro in case of something touch or collide by accident, as the cap has a flat surface, as shown in FIG.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A first objective of the invention is to offer a sealable container with a cap easily sealable on the container.
A second objective of the invention is to offer a sealable container possible to be piled up stabilized in storing.
A main feature of the invention is that it is consisted of a container body, a cap, a annular seal and two plate hooks. The container has two opposite curved grooves respectively in two upper sides, and the cap is closed on an upper mouth of the container body and has a flange formed in a bottom for the seal to fit around and a U-shaped vertical wall formed at two sides of the upper surface. The U-shaped vertical walls each define a recess, two side walls of the recess have a ridge. The two plate hooks are combined on the two U-shaped vertical walls, having an upper shove surface, two position plates in parallel having a slot, and the an insert portion formed to extend down from a horizontal portion.
A second feature of the invention is the cap provided with a convex upper surface, and the container having a recessed bottom wall and two opposite crescent grooves at two sides of the recessed bottom so that the convex upper surface of the cap of an upper sealable container can engage the recessed bottom, with the shove surfaces of the cap engaging said two opposite crescent grooves of the container body to stabilize the two sealable container piled up in a stable condition, not easily swaying or falling down even if something may touch or push them by accident.
