Container assembly and closure with predetermined humidity and related method
First Claim
1. A container assembly configured to maintain a predetermined humidity for storing a product therein, the container assembly comprising:
- a container having a body with a body wall and a mouth opening into a storage cavity;
a cap having a top wall, the cap selectively mountable over the mouth of the container to substantially enclose the storage cavity in a mounted configuration;
a sidewall extending substantially perpendicularly from one of the body wall and the top wall, the sidewall defining an opening and a compartment, the sidewall including an opening edge adjacent the opening;
a compartment lid having a lid edge, a cavity surface and a compartment surface, the compartment lid connected to the sidewall proximate the opening edge with the compartment surface facing the compartment and the cavity surface facing the storage cavity when the cap is mounted to the container;
a moisture control material positioned within the compartment; and
a sealing membrane having a peripheral portion, the peripheral portion secured to the sidewall proximate the opening edge, the sealing membrane being secured to the compartment surface of the compartment lid, the sealing membrane configured to allow moisture flow therethrough to maintain the predetermined humidity in the storage cavity.

Abstract
A container assembly configured to maintain a predetermined humidity for storing a product therein. The container assembly includes a container having a body with a body wall and a mouth opening into a storage cavity and a cap having a top wall. The cap is selectively mountable over the mouth of the container to substantially enclose the storage cavity in a mounted configuration. A sidewall extends substantially perpendicularly from one of the body wall and the top wall. The sidewall defines an opening and a compartment and has an opening edge adjacent the opening. A moisture control material is positioned within the compartment. A sealing membrane has a peripheral portion. The peripheral portion is secured to the sidewall proximate the opening edge. The sealing membrane is configured to allow moisture flow therethrough to maintain the predetermined humidity in the storage cavity.

10. A container assembly configured to maintain a predetermined humidity for storing a product therein, the container assembly comprising:
-
a container having a body with a body wall, a neck, external threads extending from the neck and a mouth opening into a storage cavity, the mouth positioned adjacent a top end of the neck; a cap having a top wall, a downwardly depending skirt with internal threads and a downwardly depending sidewall extending downwardly from the top wall inwardly relative to the skirt, the cap selectively mountable over the mouth of the container to substantially enclose the storage cavity in a mounted configuration by engaging the internal and external threads, the sidewall defining an opening and a compartment, the sidewall including an opening edge adjacent the opening; a moisture control material positioned within the compartment; a sealing membrane having a peripheral portion; and a compartment lid having a lid edge, a cavity surface, a compartment surface and a perforation extending between the cavity surface and the compartment surface, the compartment lid connected to the sidewall proximate the opening edge with the compartment surface facing the compartment and the cavity surface facing the cavity, the sealing membrane attached to the compartment surface with the peripheral portion adjacent the lid edge, the sealing membrane configured to allow moisture flow therethrough to maintain the predetermined humidity in the storage cavity. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
