Abstract

In the invention, to solve the problem of easily opening a package to be opened by peeling a lid member off from a container, the package 1 includes a container 2 having an open upper portion, and a lid member 10 covering the upper portion for closing. A flange portion 5 formed to the upper portion of the container 2 and the periphery of the lid member 10 are given easy-peeling therebetween for the lid member 10 to be peeled off from the container 2 for opening. The lid member 10 is formed with a tab 11 projecting laterally outward of the periphery closely bonded to the flange portion 5 . The tab 11 has a back surface provided with a finger-hold portion 12.

1 . A package comprising:
 a container having a peripheral wall portion, a bottom portion provided at the lower portion of the peripheral wall portion for closing a bottom, a flange portion projecting laterally outward from the top of the peripheral wall portion, and an open upper portion; and   a lid member covering the open upper portion of the container, having a periphery closely bonded to the flange portion for closing the upper portion of the container,   the flange portion of the container and the periphery of the lid member being given easy-peeling therebetween for the lid member to be peeled off from the container for opening the container,   the lid member being formed with a tab projecting laterally outward of the periphery closely bonded to the flange portion,   the tab having a back surface provided with a protruding finger-hold portion.   
     
     
         2 . The package according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the flange portion is formed with, at a position corresponding to the tab of the lid member, a receiver portion projecting laterally outward, and   wherein the receiver portion has a surface facing the tab, the surface being provided with a lock portion engageable with or disengageable from the finger-hold portion provided on the back surface of the tab.   
     
     
         3 . The package according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the finger-hold portion is configured as a protruding portion, and   wherein the lock portion is configured as a concave portion having the protruding portion inserted therein.   
     
     
         4 . The package according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the finger-hold portion and the lock portion are configured as fasteners engagable with and disengageable from each other,   wherein one of the finger-hold portion and the lock portion is a male fastener having an engaging protrusion, and   wherein the other one of the finger-hold portion and the lock portion is a female fastener having a groove portion having the engaging protrusion fitted therein.   
     
     
         5 . The package according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the finger-hold portion is formed in a line, having an axial direction extending across the tab, and having both axial ends provided to coincide with the side edges of the tab, respectively, and   wherein the lock portion is formed in a line corresponding to the finger-hold portion, the lock portion having an axial direction extending across the receiver portion, and the lock portion having both axial ends provided to coincide with the side edges of the receiver portion, respectively.   
     
     
         6 . The package according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the finger-hold portion is formed in a line, having an axial direction extending across the tab, having both axial ends spaced apart from the side edges of the tab and located inside of the side edges of the tab, respectively, and   wherein the lock portion is formed in a line corresponding to the finger-hold portion, the lock portion having an axial direction extending across the receiver portion, and the lock portion having both axial ends spaced apart from the side edges of the receiver portion and located inside of the side edges of the receiver portion, respectively.   
     
     
         7 . The package according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the finger-hold portion includes another member different from the lid member, said another member being fixedly bonded to the back surface of the tab.
