ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a plastic container with lid, preferably of rectangular or oval cross-section, for holding granular, powdery, pasty or liquid materials, with sealing edge and a locating part which is provided with an intermittent snap-on edge and is borne roughly centrally by a continuous supporting edge. The invention is intended to facilitate the grasping of the lid when the container is closed, on the one hand, and the pouring of liquid or pasty materials on the other. The invention is characterized in that the top edge of the locating part (6) and the supporting edge (7) are drawn down to the level of the lower edge of the locating part (6) in the form of an arc in at least one region of major curvature of the container perimeter, in such a way that a recessed grip (13) is formed in this region which makes it possible to grasp below the retaining fold of the lid and in such a way that the lower part of the recessed grip (13) is designed as a pourer (14) consisting of the laterally lowered surfaces of the supporting edge (7) and its lower, plane section.
