Patent ID: 8739999

Claim:
A container comprising: a body defining a compartment and a discharge opening; material within the compartment; a sealing assembly that has a sealed state wherein the sealing assembly blocks communication of the material from the compartment to and through the discharge opening; and a first assembly for reconfiguring the sealing assembly to an operative state to establish a communication path from the compartment to and through the discharge opening, the first assembly comprising at least a first component with a wall structure, the first component is movable guidingly relative to the body between: a) a storage position; and b) an operative position, the sealing assembly changeable from the sealed state into the operative state as an incident of the at least first component moving from the storage position into the operative position without the at least first component fully separating from the body, wherein the first assembly comprises a discrete component comprising a discrete blade that is moved relative to the wall structure consistently about a defined edge as the first component is moved from the storage position into the operative position, the discrete component having a length between the defined edge and a free end, the discrete component configured so that the discrete component does not significantly deform between the defined edge and free end as an incident of the first component moving from the storage position into the operative position.
