Patent ID: 8689995

Claim:
A container/closure combination comprising: an open top molded plastic container having a sidewall, a top rim and an annular beam proximate said rim, said beam being spaced radially outwardly from said container sidewall by a rib having a plurality of alternatingly upper and lower portions; a molded plastic closure having a center portion surrounded by an annular rim having an outer skirt; a plurality of circumferentially spaced, radially outwardly-extending bayonets formed on said skirt which rest on the lower portions of said rib but can be rotated under the upper portions of said rib by turning the closure on the container, the circumferential spacing between said upper and lower portions and the circumferential dimensions of said bayonets being such that the bayonets can be rotated onto said lower portion for removal of said closure from said container; and a release tab attached to a lower portion to normally interfere with rotation of said bayonets but being resiliently depressible to allow rotation of said closure, wherein the release tab is separately formed relative to said container.
