EASY OPEN/RECLOSABLE CONTAINER WITH POURING LIP ALAN E. BYRD ABSTRACT A container having an upstanding rim running around the periphery of its top lid and a pre-cut dispensing aperture therein is provided with an integral pouring lip/drain surface between the container's rim and dispensing aperture. The container is also provided with an easy-open/reclosing element that is preferably hingedly attached to the container's top lid. The easy-open/reclosing element has a depending plug that is shaped complementary to the dispensing aperture. When pressed into the aperture, the plug initially seals the container and, if desired, is used to reclose the aperture after opening. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the easy-open/reclosing element is provided with a U-shaped flange that is shaped complementary to both the top lid's pouring lip and upstanding rim. When the easy-open/reclosing element is in its closed position, this U-shaped flange receives the container's pouring lip and rim and thereby protects them from dirt and dust contamination. This sanitary feature is particularly appealing if a consumer desires to drink product directly from the container.
