ABSTRACT:
A container comprising a main container portion (2) having side walls (3) closed at one end and defining an open mouth at the other end, and a moulded rim member (4) having a plug portion (6) slidingly received in the mouth of the main container portion. The plug portion (2) has a projection (8) received in a corresponding groove (30) in the main container portion to retain the rim member in engagement with the main container portion and to provide first sealing means. A flange (22) extends from the plug portion inwardly of the container and terminates at a skirt which provides a seat for a removable plug-fitting lid (40). The rim member (4) includes a tubular portion (18) extending from the plug portion (6) towards the closed end of the main container portion (2), the tubular portion having a maximum outer transverse dimension greater than the inner dimensions of the side walls (3) in the as-mouled state, so that the tubular portion is stressed under compression in its position engaged in the main container portion (2), so that the tubular portion bears against the side walls (3) to provide second sealing means. The flange (22) is joined to the plug portion (6) at a region aligned with the projection (8) and groove (30).
