Abstract:
A container is provided having an open top end defining an access opening into an interior storage volume. A peripheral rim surrounds the access opening. A flexible membrane is sealed to the peripheral rim and a valve is attached to the membrane for venting gases from the interior of the container body. An overcap is provided to cover the access opening and be retained in the container rim adjacent the membrane. A bottom surface of the body of the overcap includes a continuous surface pattern thereon, with the surface pattern creating a plurality of gaps that define a continuous passageway along the bottom surface to the periphery of the overcap.

Claim (Index 1):
A container retaining a product that creates a gas buildup, the container comprising:\n a container body having a sidewall, a bottom wall and an open top end defining an access opening into the interior storage volume, the interior storage volume retaining the product, the top end of the container body including a peripheral rim; a flexible membrane covering the access opening and releasably sealed to the peripheral rim; a venting valve attached to the flexible membrane for venting gas buildup from the interior storage volume when sealed by the membrane; and an overcap comprising\n a body portion formed to cover the access opening of the container body, \n a depending skirt surround a periphery of the body portion, the skirt engaging the top end of the sidewall of the container body, and \n the bottom surface of the body portion closely positioned with the flexible membrane and the valve when the overcap body portion covers the access opening of the container body, the bottom surface having a surface pattern thereon creating a spacing structure defining one or more continuous passageway across the bottom surface, \n the surface pattern enabling the valve to function and preventing the membrane from sealing against the bottom surface of the body portion, when the membrane is pushed toward the bottom surface of the overcap by the product gases built-up within the interior volume.
