Spackle container lid having working surface

Abstract

Apparatus configured for attachment to a spackle container and provide thereby a surface for working spackling compound while substantially sealing the spackle container.

1 . Apparatus configured for attachment to a spackle container and provide thereby a surface for working spackling compound while substantially sealing the spackle container, the apparatus comprising:
 a substantially planar upper portion including said working surface, said upper portion having a rounded proximate edge and a straight distal edge; and   a lower portion generally disposed below said rounded proximate edge of said upper portion and configured for attachment to a lid receiving portion of a spackle container to seal the spackle container thereby.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said lower portion includes a connector adapted to be received by said lid receiving portion of said spackle container. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said connector has an inner diameter D IN  and an outer diameter D OUT , said inner and outer diameters defining thereby a protruding annular portion adapted for insertion into a recessed annular portion associated with a spackle container to connect thereby said apparatus and said spackle container. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the rounded proximate edge and straight distal edge are separated by substantially straight side edges. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the straight distal edge and substantially straight side edges are separated by rounded corner portions. 
     
     
         6 . A spackle container lid configured for attachment to a spackle container and provide thereby a surface for working spackling compound while substantially sealing the spackle container, the apparatus comprising:
 a substantially planar upper portion including said working surface, said upper portion having a rounded proximate edge and a straight distal edge; and   a lower portion generally disposed below said rounded proximate edge of said upper portion and configured for attachment to a lid receiving portion of a spackle container to seal the spackle container thereby.
