Benefits of technology

[0005] This invention relates to a secondary lid, generally circular with a gripping device, used in conjunction with, but not exclusively with nesting type containers most commonly used to package foodstuffs such as margarine. The tub like containers used to hold margarine and other foodstuffs have locking or snap on lids. These lids can be difficult to remove and replace, especially as our population ages. This disadvantage—can be overcome by inserting a secondary lid which will sit underneath the locking or snap on lid of the container. The secondary lid with gripping device provides an ease of removal and replacement that is not found with the locking or snap on lids.

Problems solved by technology

Embodiment Construction

[0012] The invention is a secondary lid, generally circular, with a gripping device, (1) used in conjunction with, but not exclusively with nesting type containers (2) most commonly used to package foodstuffs such as margarine.

[0013] On nestable containers, there is a shoulder found on the inner wall of the container just below the upper rim (3).

[0014] The secondary lid would preferably sit on the inner shoulder of the container (3) and contact the inner wall of the container (4). The inner wall will provide a proper degree of friction as to allow the lid to be easily removed and replaced and the inner shoulder of the container will provide a seating for the secondary lid. When the secondary lid with gripping device is seated within the container it acts as a closure for the container.

[0015] A flat lying, preferably, flexible tab (approximately 2 inches square and approximately 1 / 16 thick) is attached, along the full length of it's center, (5) to the lid. The attachment width of ...

When the secondary lid with gripping device is in place, the original container lid can be secured to the container without obstruction.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Non Applicable STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT [0002] Non Applicable COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISC APPENDIX [0003] Non Applicable BACKGROUND TO INVENTION [0004] This invention addresses what I believe is an ever growing problem as our population ages. I have noticed my wife struggling to remove and replace the snap on lid of the margarine container. This problem could be alleviated by inserting a secondary lid with gripping device that fits under the locking or snap on lid of the container. After the product is brought home from the supermarket the locking or snap on lid could be removed and set aside and the secondary lid would be used until the product was finished. The new secondary lid would be much easier to remove and replace. BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION [0005] This invention relates to a secondary lid, generally circular with a gripping device, used in conjunction with, but not exclusively with...
