  • Patent number: 6827213
    Abstract: A cosmetic container (10) comprises a housing assembly (1, 3, 4, 7, 9) with an annular projection (8) and a cap assembly (11, 12) with an inner cap member (12) engageable with the annular projection. The inner cap member has a wall portion (15) between upper and lower annular external swells (16, 17), which is deformed to provide air-tight engagement with the annular projection in a capped condition. The lower swell (16) comprises a plurality of spaced segmental annular projections (161) formed substantially around the outer surface of the inner cap member and one or more of dotty projections (162) positioned substantially within each space between adjacent two of the segmental annular projections. The lower swell acts as a first stopper for preventing removal of the cap assembly from the housing assembly, whereas the upper swell acts as a second stopper for preventing excessive insertion of the housing assembly into the cap assembly.
