Abstract

A container (10) and scalable cover (32) in which the container (10) has a bottom wall (12) and an upstanding peripheral wall (16, 18) terminating in an upper edge (22) surrounding an open mouth. The peripheral wall (16, 18) is inclined outwardly at a slight angle to the vertical or alternatively vertically disposed. A replaceable cover (32) is provided with a central top planar wall (34) and an inverted U-shaped periphery terminating in an outer rim skirt (38). A contiguous downwardly extending scaling fin (44) is disposed inwardly of the skirt for forming an interference fit with the inside surface of the upper portion of the container peripheral wall when the cover (32) is installed over the container mouth. The fin (44) may be substantially vertically disposed or canted outwardly at a small angle to the vertical depending upon the inclination of the peripheral wall (16, 18). A pair of latches (48) are rotatably mounted on the cover (32) adjacent the outer rim skirt (38) and arranged to engage protruding latch hooks (50) on the container peripheral wall (16, 18) to releasably secure the cover (32) over the contain*-mouth.
