Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a receptacle made of rigid elastic material and comprising a container having a flange and a cover either integral therewith or separable therefrom and having at least one cavity, the zones of the container flange serving for the closure as well as the mating rim of the cover being provided with a plurality of corresponding protuberances of equal dimensions, positioned thereon similarly and substantially in the longitudinal direction of the flange of the container and the rim of the cover, formed from the planes of these margins and extending alternately upwardly and downwardly from said planes without a horizontal region of transition to said planes of the margins, and successive protuberances extending upwardly or downwardly from said marginal planes being undercut at least at the lateral surfaces opposite to each other.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A reclosable receptacle made of rigid elastic material and comprising a container having a flange, a cover having a rim and at least one cavity, the zones of the container flange serving for the closure as well as the mating rim of the cover being provided with a plurality of corresponding protuberances of equal dimensions, positioned thereon similarly and substantially in the longitudinal direction of the flange of the container and the rim of the cover, formed from the planes of said flange and said rim and extending alternately upwardly and downwardly from said planes without a horizontal region of transition to said planes, and successive protuberances extending upwardly or downwardly from said planes being undercut at least at the lateral surfaces opposite to one another.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
A reclosable receptacle made of rigid elastic material and comprising a container having a flange, a cover having a rim and at least one cavity, the zones of the container flange serving for the closure as well as the mating rim of the cover being provided with a plurality of corresponding protuberances of equal dimensions, positioned thereon similarly and substantially in the longitudinal direction of the flange of the container and the rim of the cover, formed from the planes of said flange and said rim and extending alternately upwardly and downwardly from said planes without a horizontal region of transition to said planes, and successive protuberances extending upwardly or downwardly from said planes being undercut at least at the lateral surfaces opposite to one another.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
80 words
A receptacle according to claim 1 in which the cover is separable and has an outwardly extending cavity, the opening zone of the container and that of the cavity in the cover being rectangular, both opening zones having the same dimensions, and a plurality of alternating protuberances in the flange of the container and in the rim of the cover surrounding the opening zones of the container and of the cavity in the cover in the form of a rectangle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
A receptacle according to claim 1 in which the protuberances have planar surfaces substantially parallel to the plane of the flange and rim and are larger in the direction in which they are linearly successively arranged than in the direction normal thereto.
