Abstract
A display-type container for cosmetics and the like, includes a flat jar having a neck portion with an external screw thread, and a ring-shaped screw cap member that is mounted on and cooperable with the neck portion. The latter has an annular sealing lip, and a plastic panel member which is disposed in the ring-shaped screw cap member provides underside sealing areas or surfaces that are engaged with the sealing lip. Portions of the screw-cap member and panel member are disposed in overlying relation, the two members being centralized with one another, and forming a unitary closure assemblage. The arrangement is such that the sealing areas of the panel member are forced by the screw cap member, into substantially air-tight sealing engagement with the sealing lip of the jar. The seal does not depend on the engagement of the threads, or upon any incidental sealing therebetween, which may or may not occur. The panel member is preferably transparent, to permit viewing of the jar contents, and the screw cap is preferably opaque, to largely conceal its own thread, and that of the jar.
