Patent ID: 7028858

Claim:
An assembly of a cap and a container, comprising: a container including: a neck formed from a single piece of material and having an inner wall having first and second inner surfaces, the first and second inner surfaces defining different diameters of the neck, and an outer wall surface, at least one upwardly-extending tooth having camming surfaces formed by oppositely-sloped edges joined at a point of inflection and formed integrally on the inner wall adjacent to the first inner surface of the neck, and a cap including: a top with an exterior surface and an interior surface, a side skirt extending downwardly from an outer periphery of the top and adapted to engage said outer wall of said container neck, a circumferential plug seal formed by a circumferential wall directly connected to the interior surface of the top, the seal forming a hollow cylinder extending downwardly from the top interior surface, the plug seal being sized and shaped to sealingly engage the second inner surface of the container neck, and a plurality of downwardly extending teeth spaced radially inward and apart from said side skirt and spaced radially outward and apart from the plug seal and directly connected to the top interior surface and circumferentially arranged near the periphery of the top and having camming surfaces formed by oppositely-sloped edges joined at a point of inflection and adapted to engage the camming surfaces of said at least one upwardly-extending tooth provided on said inner wall of said container neck, wherein said closure is sealingly attachable to said container by pressing downwardly on said exterior surface and is removable from said container by rotating said closure relative to the container in either the clockwise or counterclockwise directions to bring said downwardly extending tooth camming surfaces into operative engagement with said upwardly extending tooth camming surfaces to lift said closure from said container.
