  • Patent number: 6394295
    Abstract: A container (1) includes a body (2) and a cap (20). At least one elastically deformable portion (26, 27) of the cap has a set of beading (17, 18) capable of interacting with a snap-fit edge (6) provided on the neck. A first ramp (6, 16, 11) causes, in response to a rotational movement of the cap (20) with respect to the body (2), an axial displacement of the set of beading (17, 18) along the snap-fit edge (6) between a bottom position and a top position, and a second ramp (6, 16, 11) simultaneously causes the set of beading (17, 18) to part radially so as to allow the set of beading, when in the top position, to pass over the snap-fit edge (6) under the effect of an elastic return force exerted by the elastically deformable portion (26, 27).
