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 13):
A container defining an interior storage volume, 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 top end including a peripheral rim; a flexible membrane covering the access opening and releasably sealed to the peripheral rim; a valve attached to the flexible membrane for venting gases from the interior storage volume as 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 extending substantially perpendicular from a bottom surface of the body portion for a distance sufficient to overlap the top end of the container body, \n the bottom surface of the body portion having a continuous surface pattern thereon creating a plurality of hills and valleys, the surface pattern defining one or more continuous passageway between the hills along the bottom surface to the periphery of the body portion, and \n a vent channel formed in the depending skirt, the vent channel communicating with the one or more continuous passageways of the surface pattern.
