(57) Abstract :
A rigid holding container has a flexible cover sheet extending over the holding area for sealing the contents. The container has a wide,
flat perimeter lip which provides a firm base for the seal between the cover sheet and the container. A breaching bubble is formed in
the seal, under the cover and over the perimeter lip. The consumer breaches the bubble by pressing the bubble against the lip between
the thumb and forefinger. The pressure compresses the air in the bubble causing the bubble to expand laterally. The expanding bubble
breaches along the perimeter of the lip, producing a peel flap of flexible cover material. The consumer pulls the peel flap while
holding the rigid container down, to remove the cover sheet.
