ABSTRACT:
A two-piece plastic container and removable cover is provided which is particularly adaptable for containing flowable products. The removable cover comprises a one-piece molded generally circular cover having an annular sealing projection extending generally downwardly in a perpendicular direction from an outer periphery of the cover and an annular locking projection extending generally upwardly in a perpendicular direction from the outer periphery of the cover. The container comprises a one-piece molded cylindrical body having a closed bottom and an open top. Two spaced concentric annular inside and outside projections extend longitudinally upwardly from the open top of the body of the container and define therebetween a cover sealing cavity for receiving the cover sealing projection and cooperating therewith to seal the cover on the container. The outside projection on the container is configured for extending partially around the locking projection on the cover and cooperating therewith to lock the cover on the container. Preferably, an opening device in the form of a finger tab or the like is provided for being gripped and pulled by a user for disengaging at least a portion of the outside projection on the container and the locking projection on the cover for removing the cover from the container.
