ABSTRACT:
A desiccant cartridge for use with a receiver/dryer of an automobile air-conditioning system. The desiccant cartridge contains a cup member and a cap member. The cap member includes a plurality of fingers located about a periphery thereof. The plurality of fingers engage the cup member to secure the cap member to the cup member. The plurality of fingers operate to facilitate insertion of the cap member into the cup member using a one-way lock-type arrangement. Accordingly, pushing the cap member downward into the open end of the cup member causes each of the plurality of fingers to deflect upward and slide along an interior surface free of protrusions of the cup member. Upward movement of the cap is limited by the plurality of fingers engaging the interior surface of the sidewall, which hold the cap member in place. Accordingly, the cap member can be inserted into and locks in the cup member at any position.
