Abstract:
A container comprising:a body having an end portion with an opening through which the contents of the body may pass and a peripheral surface having a snap-fit edge, wherein at least a part of said snap-fit edge extends in a direction having a component in an axial direction of the body; a cap cooperable with said end portion to close the opening, and having at least one elastically deformable portion having at least one beading engageable with said snap-fit edge to retain the cap on the body; a first ramp on the end portion, the first ramp being at least in part defined by said snap fit edge and extending in a direction such that rotation of the cap relative to the body causes axial movement of the at least one beading along said snap-fit edge; and a second ramp on the end portion and cooperating with said first ramp, the second ramp being at least in part defined by said snap fit edge and extending in a direction such that the rotation of the cap to a certain position causes the at least one beading to move radially to disengage from said snap-fit edge and permit removal of the cap from the body.
