Abstract
Abstract A lid structure is formed of conjoined upper and lower sheets of material. One of the sheets has a receptacle formed therein which receives an elastomeric pad. The portion of the conjoined first and second sheets form a sealing flange which completely surrounds the periphery of the receptacle and which provides a surface whereby the lid may be secured to a container.
