ABSTRACT:
A container assembly for storing a predetermined quantity of foodstuff, medication or the like product comprises a unitary container divided into upper and lower compartments and having a circumferential inner sidewall portion encircling the container interior and dividing it into the two compartments. The product is prefilled in the lower compartment and a closure member fits within the container and coacts therewith to hermetically seal the product within the lower compartment. In one embodiment, the closure member has an annular depending lip which engages in a complementary groove in the container sidewall to seal the lower compartment, and in an alternative embodiment, the closure member has on its underside a ring of adhesive material which adheres to a complementary surface portion of the container sidewall to effectively seal the lower compartment. The closure member has a foldable pull-tab attached at the center thereof which is foldable along one fold line to extend along the upper face of the closure member to the container inner sidewall and foldable along another fold line to extend upwardly along the sidewall to a location proximate the container rim. The pull-tab lies flush along the inner sidewall of the container so as not to interfere with stacking of the container assemblies one upon another.
