  • Halldorson ABSTRACT A plurality of container parts including tubs of circular, rectangular, oval, and like various configurations is disclosed. Such tubs are made to fit interchangeably with a single lid design by employing a mating element, as for example, a marginally disposed tongue, of a design and size common to the various tubs so included in such container parts.
  • This invention concerns packages for luncheon meats and like products, each package including a container comprised of a clear plastic tub in combination with a lid formed of such materials as opaque plastic, plastic foam, metal and the like. Such packages are normally displayed lid side down. Thus, the transparency of the clear tub material permits customers to freely view theproducts contained within thepackage.
  • various distinctive tub designs can incorporate rectangular, circular, oval or like configurations.
  • the tub can be quite deep or shallow, and its width and length dimensions can be varied to provide for desired distinctions in such packages.
  • the present invention contemplates a plurality of container parts wherein the parts are interchangeable to minimize the requirements of an inventory.
  • Such containers are of the tub and lid. type, andthe tubs can be provided in various distinctive designs, configurations and volume capacities, as for example, circular, oval, rectangular or the like.
  • the tubs commonly include a top wall, and a sidewall integral with and extending generally downwardly and-outwardly from the top wall. At its lower extent, the sidewall merges with an outwardly extending flange portion which carries a mating means for fitting the tub to the lidmember.
  • the mating means included in the varioustub designs is made a constant orv nonvariable factor. Accordingly, a single or standard lid can.be provided that is interchangeable between the" various different tub designs and sizes included in such an inventory.
