Abstract

The invention relates to a method of snap-fitting a lid to a container (2) including a neck (8), which defines the mouth of the container and on whose outer surface there is a downwardly directed shoulder (14). The lid also includes a closure plate (30, 32) connected to a depending peripheral skirt (18), connected to which by a resilient hinge (22) is a retaining flange (20). The method includes moving the lid and container relatively towards one another to bring the retaining flange (20) into contact with the upper edge of the neck (8), thereby causing the retaining flange (20) to rotate about the hinge (22) until the free end of the flange (20) moves past the shoulder (14). The retaining flange (20) is then rotated in the opposition direction towards the neck (8) of the container by the resilience of the hinge and engages beneath the shoulder (14), thereby restraining relative movement of the lid and receptacle away from one another. The side surface of the free end of the retaining flange (20) is urged into sealing engagement with the outer surface of the neck (8) by the resilience of the hinge (22) and the free end of the retaining flange (20) is drawn into sealing engagement with the shoulder (14) by the tensional stress in the skirt (18) caused by deformation of the cap engaging the upper surface of the rim (8).
