ABSTRACT:
A cap for detachable mounting onto a product container can be adjusted to meet varying tightness requirements. The cap includes deformable tabs with catches whose flexibility can be modified by selectively positioning an adjacent ring so that a varying portion of the ring surface cooperates with the tabs, thereby influencing the firmness of the tabs. Accordingly, the axial force necessary for the catches to engage a recess on the container can be modified as desired.
