Abstract
A container for particulate desiccant includes a cup and a curved cap. The cup includes spaced inner and outer wall portions connected by a transverse web portion to define a chamber having an opening. The outer wall portion of the cup includes a number of nib segments which are arranged into axially spaced-apart nib groupings. The nib segments within each of the nib groupings are circumferentially spaced-apart. The cap is designed for receipt in the chamber to cover the opening. The cap bends symmetrically upwardly about an axis to define two peripheral high points spaced approximately 180.degree. apart, and two peripheral low points spaced approximately 180.degree. apart. In addition, the cap has a hole for receiving the inner wall portion of the cup. In an assembled state, the cap is detained between a first nib grouping and a second nib grouping such that the peripheral high points abut the first nib grouping and the peripheral low points abut the second nib grouping.
