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 thin wall portion (15) defined between a pair of 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) acts as a first stopper against removal of the cap assembly from the housing assembly, whereas the upper swell (17) acts as a second stopper against excessive insertion of the housing assembly into the cap assembly.
