ABSTRACT:
A narrow, elongated, hard plastic, U-shaped sealing clip for an opened gabled container, providing repeated sealable air tight, leak-resistant closure of the container. Each leg of the U-shaped clip embodies an elongated longitudinally extending bead facing inward of the U, which beads are directly adjacent each other throughout their entire length. The beads are closely spaced and sized to enclose the gabled top of a container, at an upper portion thereof, with a resilient enclosing grip therebetween, to compressively close the portion of the container top which was opened for removal of material from the container. The spacing between the beads is less than the thickness of the container walls whereby, with the slide-on engagement with the gabled top of the container, the sealing clip assumes a compressive V-shaped conformation. The container top function as a track for the beads, during slide-on engagement of the clip with the container and adjacent terminal ends of the beads being cooperatively bevelled to facilitate initial insertion therebetween, of the top of the gable. The end of the elongated U, opposite the insertion end, is closed with an end wall having a partial slit therein. The end wall serves as a positive stop when the clip is fully seated on the container, and as a reinforcing element for the V-shaped compressive conformation during the engagement of the clip with the container.
