ABSTRACT:
A container assembly as a lid for closing and sealing the open end of the container. The container includes an outwardly curled sealing lip at its upper most periphery. The lid includes a rim having inner and out legs, and a bridge or web connecting the legs. The legs and the bridge define a downwardly opening channel proportioned to fit over the lip of the container. The legs, bridge and the lip cooperatively define therebetween a sealant cavity or the cavity may be formed only in the bridge. The sealant cavity includes a sealing material received therein. The lid further includes contact surface means. The contact surface means selectively contact the container lip to limit the minimum size of the cavity when the lid is pressed onto the container. By limiting the minimum size of the cavity, over compression of the sealing material is avoided during application of an excessive load on the container lid.
