ABSTRACT:
A container and closure assembly, affording a simple, quick, ergonomical, and reliable closing operation, provides an intermediate, partly open position that is reliably indicated. The distance of rotation of the closure relative to the container necessary for closing the closure is short, so that quick and simple closing of the container is provided. The closure is mounted to the container by a projection that is cooperatively received in a track. Either the closure or the container may be provided with the projection, the other being provided with the track. In a preferred embodiment, the track includes a protuberance that hinders the movement of the projection past a predetermined position along the track. When a user turns the closure positioned on the container, the engagement between the protuberance and the projection provides a tactile indication to the user during passage of a specific position of the closure on the container, while also preventing the unintentional movement of the closure past the protuberance.
