ABSTRACT:
A fluid pressure relief seal for preventing the ingress of fluid into a container and for venting fluid from the container is disclosed. The fluid pressure relief seal works in conjunction with a container having a receptacle and a lid. The receptacle has a mouth and at least one aperture in the receptacle for venting fluid from the container, while the lid covers the mouth and is engagable with the receptacle. The fluid pressure relief seal comprises a fluid-impermeable washer elastically stretched over an exterior of the receptacle and compressed between the lid and the receptacle when the lid and receptacle are engaged to prevent the passage of fluid into or out of the container. The fluid pressure relief seal also comprises a fluid-impermeable lip seamlessly molded with the washer and elastically stretched over the exterior of the receptacle and apertures in the receptacle for venting fluid from the container. Fluid is vented from the container through the apertures in the receptacle when fluid pressure within the container is sufficient to overcome the compressive force of the lip against the apertures.
