A container for storing a liquid or a solid may include a container body having a container side wall and a container bottom and a container lid having a pop top arm to pivot and cooperate with a weakened area to provide access to the interior of the container body. The container body may be formed from plastic and the container lid is formed from metal, and the container body may include a vertical neck. The container body may include a lip, and the bottom wall may include a center protrusion. The bottom wall may include a depression, and the bottom wall may include a radial extending depression.
1. A container, the container comprising a container body, the container body comprising a container side wall substantially convex in both the horizontal and vertical direction, the container body further comprising a horizontally-extending base connected to the container side wall, wherein the container side wall and the horizontally-extending base are shaped so that an interior of said container body has a truncated spherical shape, wherein a cross-sectional diameter of a top portion of said container body is less than a cross-sectional diameter of a middle portion of said container body, wherein the horizontally-extending base defines a diameter that is less than the cross-sectional diameter of the middle portion of said container body, wherein the container body further comprises a circular neck extending vertically from the container side wall so that the container side wall extends between the circular neck and the horizontally-extending base, wherein an upper edge of said container side wall is adjacent to the circular neck of the container body, wherein the container body further comprises a lip at the end of the circular neck opposite the upper edge of said container side wall, wherein said circular neck is adjacent to the lip, and wherein said container body defines an opening to the interior of said container body;
wherein the cross-sectional diameter of the top portion of said container body is defined by the circular neck;
wherein the cross-sectional diameter of the middle portion of said container body is defined by the container side wall;
wherein the container body is made out of a resin;
wherein the container body is formed using a blow molding process;
wherein the container side wall extends uninterruptedly between the circular neck and the horizontally-extending base;
wherein the container further comprises a lid connected to the container body and covering the opening to the interior of said container body;
wherein the lid is made out of a metal;
wherein a first portion of the lid extends on the lip of the container body;
wherein a second portion of the lid extends horizontally and is vertically offset from the first portion of the lid so that the second portion is located vertically between the first portion of the lid and the horizontally-extending base of the container body;
wherein the second portion of the lid comprises a weakened or scored area;
wherein the lid further comprises an arm connected to the second portion of the lid, the arm comprising an aperture to facilitate pivoting of the arm by a user;
and
wherein the arm is pivotable from a first position, in which the arm extends horizontally and the weakened or scored area is not deformed, to a second position, in which the arm does not extend horizontally and the weakened or scored area is deformed to provide an opening to the interior of said container body.
2. The container of claim 1 , wherein the metal is aluminum.
3. The container of claim 1 , wherein the resin is a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin.
4. The container of 1 , wherein the base comprises a bottom wall and a depression formed therein.
