Abstract
A canister for a desiccant or other particulate material including a substantially cylindrical molded plastic body having an integral end wall and an inner surface and an open end, a cap having an inner surface and a portion which enters the open end of the body and is retained therein by a bead and groove connection, desiccant in the canister, and very small apertures in the cap and end wall, the apertures diverging in diameter from the inner surfaces of the cap and end wall toward the outer surfaces thereof to thereby tend to impede passage of the desiccant out of the canister and also tend to obviate clogging of the apertures.
