Abstract:
1. A combination of a container and a detachable lid, said container comprising a side wall, a bottom and a peripheral rim at an open top of the side wall, said peripheral rim including a plurality of mutually spaced, radially outwardly-extending first flanges that provide circumferential spaces therebetween, said first flanges defining downwardly-extending skirt portions which taper in height from a first circumferential end to a second circumferential end, and said first flanges defining circumferential primary and secondary snap faces, said detachable lid comprising a plurality of circumferentially spaced, radially inwardly-extending second flanges that can fit in the circumferential spaces between the first flanges when the lid is positioned in a first angular orientation relative to the peripheral rim of the container, and when the lid is moved downwardly on said container when in said first angular orientation, and thereafter rotated relative to the peripheral rim to a second angular position, the second flanges will engage the first flanges and lock said lid onto said container, and wherein said second flanges include primary and secondary snap faces, such that when said lid is at said second angular position and pressed downwardly on said container, said primary snap faces of said second flanges will move down and snap over said primary snap faces of said first flanges, and thereafter said secondary snap faces of said second flanges will abut said secondary snap surfaces of said first flanges to lock said lid on said container.
