Abstract (en)

[origin: US2009139955A1] A container comprising a container body (1) with an opening (3) defining an axis (A) passing therethrough and a cap (2) having an upper portion (6) and a skirt portion (7) for closing the opening, the container body (1) having an outwardly projecting lip (4) around the opening (3), the cap having spaced apart inwardly projecting members (8) round an inner circumference of the skirt portion (7) and the lip (4) having recesses (5) in a lower part thereof for receiving the members (8) when the cap (2) is press fitted to the container (1), the cap (2) being arranged so that its circumference is distorted into a substantially polygonal shape as portions of the cap carrying the members (8) are flexed outwards when the cap (2) is pressed over the lip (4) until the members (8) snap fit into respective recesses (5) in the lip (4), the members (8) and recesses (5) being shaped such that subsequent rotation of the cap (2) relative to the container body (1) tightens the cap (2) against the lip (4). Various tamper evident bands connected to the skirt portion (7) by friable bridges (10A, 20A, 30A, 40A) and/or tether bands (10B, 20B, 30B) are also described.
