Abstract:
A lid-container assembly made of synthetic plastic material suitable for the transportation and storage of hazardous materials in conformity to the UN standard. The container includes a bottom and a substantially cylindrical or cone trunk side wall having an upper edge that bounds an access opening. The container is provided with a first external annular strip provided with a first circular rib and with at least one second circular rib for snap fitting of the lid. The lid includes a central part and a peripheral wall that conforms to the side wall of the container and further includes a second external annular strip that releasably engages the corresponding external annular strip of the container. The second external annular strip has an upper annular element that connects to the peripheral wall by an upturned U-shaped upper annular channel, and includes a lower annular element inserted into a lower annular channel in the form of an upwards pointing U, and an intermediate annular element for tear opening. The lower annular element of the second external strip includes a circular rib that engages a corresponding internal rib of the lower annular channel of the first external strip. The lid-container assembly further includes a first interference sealing zone between opposite surfaces of the side wall of the container and of the peripheral wall of the lid, a second contact sealing zone between the upper edge of the side wall of the container and the interior of the upper annular channel, and at least one third contact sealing zone between opposite engaging ribs of the first and second external annular strips.
