Abstract:
A container () for holding granular or powdered material and formed by a top wall (), a bottom wall (), a front wall (), a rear wall (), a first side wall (), and a second side wall (). A rotatably removable lid (D) is interiorly mounted with a scoop () and is pivotally hinged to a collar () that includes a sealing gasket (). The collar () mounts to the walls of the container (). A sealing wall of the lid (D) cooperates with the gasket to prevent the contents from spilling. The container () incorporates additional sealing features wherein the gasket () projects inwardly from the collar () into an interior space (H, I) of the container () to be biased against the sealing flange (). The sealing wall includes modifications that funnel powder into the interior space (H,I) of the receptacle ().
