Abstract: A detachable receptacle for carrying material such as cosmetics is disclosed. The receptacle comprises a mounting assembly (12) having fixing means (24 . . . 30) by which it can be secured to a piece of textile material and a container assembly (10). Each of the mounting assembly (12) and the container assembly (10) has mutually co-operative coupling means (26, 56) that permit repeated interconnection and separation of the mounting assembly and the container assembly. Interconnection and separation may be achieved by mutual linear movement. The coupling means may include a first component that has a groove (26) into which a formation (56) of a second component can slide. In preferred embodiments, the container assembly (10) is watertight.

Abstract: A container for a liquid, in particular, a high-value liquid in a small quantity such as a perfume is disclosed. The container comprises a reservoir (12) within which a liquid can be contained. A dispenser (24), typically a pump dispenser, is carried on a neck (20) of a filling opening of the reservoir (12) thereby sealing the reservoir. The dispenser can dispense a quantity of liquid from the reservoir (12) on operation of a trigger. A casing (32) is also carried on the reservoir (12). The casing (32) and the reservoir (12) can be mutually rotated between a closed condition and an open condition. In the closed condition, the casing prevents access to the trigger and the reservoir predominantly projects from the casing, and in the open condition, the trigger can be operated and the reservoir (12) is substantially received within the casing (32).
