Abstract
A cosmetic container ( ) comprises a housing assembly ( ) with an annular projection ( ) and a cap assembly ( ) with an inner cap member ( ) engageable with the annular projection. The inner cap member has a wall portion ( ) between upper and lower annular external swells ( ), which is deformed to provide air-tight engagement with the annular projection in a capped condition. The lower swell ( ) comprises a plurality of spaced segmental annular projections ( ) formed substantially around the outer surface of the inner cap member and one or more of dotty projections ( ) 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.
