ABSTRACT:
A wide-mouth recloseable container and cover device with a pair of two-position bails used for holding liquids, powders and like substances. The device includes a container and a cover which are cylindrical in shape. The container has a lower portion and an upper portion. The upper portion has a wide-mouth opening with a top flange disposed around the opening. The top flange has a diameter approximately the same as the diameter of the lower portion of the container. The upper portion is "necked down" to provide room for six longitudinally oriented ribs. Four of the ribs are used for supporting opposite ends of two "U" shaped bails. The two bails are used for engaging opposite sides of an upper surface of the cover for holding a lower surface of the cover against the top flange of the container. The cover has an annular recess for receiving the top flange therein. In the top of the recess is an interior face having an annular "V"-shaped flexible seal and an annular "V"-shaped spacer therearound for providing minimum contact surface when engaging the top flange. Also, the upper surface of the cover includes a two pairs of upwardly extending bail ramps. Each bail ramp includes a temporary latch notch used for short-term storage and a more permanent lock notch used for long-term storage. The two pairs of notches are used for receiving an upper portion of each bail.
