Abstract:
1. A cap mounting arrangement comprising a cylindrical part integrally extended from a container to have an opening and a cap detachably attached to the cylindrical part to hermetically close the cylindrical part, wherein the cap comprises: a cap body fitted into the cylindrical part through a sealing member; a pair of L-shaped, flexible engaging arms that extend radially outwardly from two opposite points existing on a circumferential edge of the outer periphery of the cap body opposite to the direction of fitting and equally away from the center of the cap body and then extend in the direction of fitting from the radially outwardly extending ends of the engaging arms with a distance away from the outer periphery of the cap body, the distal ends of the engaging arms having engaging projections, respectively, engaged with an engaging recess formed in the outer periphery of the cylindrical part; and a pair of flexible connecting bridges that connect the distal ends of the pair of engaging arms to surround the outer periphery of the cap body with a distance away therefrom, and the cap mounting arrangement is configured so that in attaching the cap to the cylindrical part, the fitting of the cap body into the cylindrical part and the engagement of the engaging projections of the pair of engaging arms with the engaging recess are carried out by pushing an end of the cap body opposite to the direction of fitting, and that in detaching the cap from the cylindrical part, the pair of engaging arms are flexed to get away from the outer periphery of the cylindrical part to disengage the engaging projections from the engaging recess of the cylindrical part by pushing circumferentially middle parts of the pair of connecting bridges together to come close to each other.
