Abstract:
1. A container system for containing a product, the container system comprising: a primary container for containing a primary product; a secondary container for containing a secondary product; and a releasable connector releasably connecting the primary container and the secondary container, the releasable connector comprising at least one first interlocking connector on one of the primary container and the secondary container, and at least four second interlocking connectors on the other of the primary container and the secondary container, the at least one first interlocking connector comprises a first projection and the at least four second interlocking connectors comprise second projections, the first projection is connected to the underside of a flange of the secondary container and comprises a first solid cylindrical body having a first axial length and the second projections each comprise a second solid cylindrical body having a second axial length, the second projections comprise four second projections spaced apart to form a receiving space for receiving the first projection, the first projection and second projections have respective external surfaces that are sized and shaped for a close friction fit along their axial lengths, and the first cylindrical body being sized for placement in the receiving space and for being in contact with the second cylindrical body of the four second projections when the first projection and second projections are interdigitated relative to one another thereby to create an axial contact area between the first projection and the second projections to establish a releasable connection between the primary container and the secondary container.
