Abstract

An arrangement comprising an open-ended container (2) and closure (10) therefor, wherein the container comprises at least one projection (6) extending at least partially around its outer surface adjacent the rim (4) of its open, upper end, and wherein the closure comprises a cover for extending over the open upper end and a skirt depending therefrom having an upper (18) and a lower portion (20), whereby, the lower portion of the skirt may be flipped between a raised configuration for mounting and removal of the cover on the container and a lowered configuration in which it engages with the projection of the container thereby to retain the cover on the container, and wherein the lower portion of the skirt is divided into at least two discrete peripheral sections that may be flipped between the raised and lowered configurations independently of each other.

Claims (9)

1. An arrangement comprising an open-ended container and closure therefor, wherein the container comprises at least one projection extending at least partially around its outer surface adjacent the rim of its open, upper end, and wherein the closure comprises a cover for extending over the open upper end and a skirt depending therefrom having an upper and a lower portion, whereby the lower portion of the skirt may be flipped between a raised configuration for mounting and removal of the cover on the container and a lowered configuration in which it engages with the projection of the container thereby to retain the cover on the container, and wherein the lower portion of the skirt is divided into at least two discrete peripheral sections that may be flipped between the raised and lowered configurations independently of each other.
2 An arrangement according to claim 1 in which the closure includes an annular channel formed between the cover and the upper portion of the skirt for receiving the rim and the at least one projection of the container.
3. An arrangement according to claim 1 or 2 in which the skirt includes at least one inwardly directed projection that extends therearound partway along its depth, and the projection engages with the projection of the container.
4. An arrangement according to claim 3 in which the at least one inwardly directed projection engages beneath the projection of the container.
5. An arrangement according to claim 3 or 4 in which the at least one inwardly directed projection divides the upper and lower portions
6. An arrangement according to any preceding claim, wherein the discrete peripheral sections of the skirt are formed by slits in a continuous skirt portion.
7. An arrangement according to any preceding claim, wherein the container is of generally cylindrical configuration and the cover is of generally circular configuration.
8. An arrangement according to any one of the preceding claims, made of plastics material.
9. A container and closure arrangement substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
