Fracturable container

A container (10) includes a body (11) having a cavity (23) for containing one or more contents. The container (10) includes a flange (20) arranged about a perimeter of the body (11). A cover (24) is affixed to the flange (20) for enclosing the contents within the cavity (23). A fracturable portion (30) including a bend (31) extends across the body (11) from a first flange portion (21) to a second flange portion (22). The fracturable portion (30) bisects the body (11) into a first body portion (12) on one side of the bend (31) and a second body portion (13) on the other side of the bend (31). The fracturable portion (30) defines a break path (35) along which the body (11) is adapted to fracture when a user applies a force exceeding a predetermined level to each of the first and second body portions (12, 13) on either side of the bend (31). The break path (35) has an initiating fracture point and a pair of termini (33), with one said terminus (33) at each of the first and second flange portions (21, 22), such that the body (11) is adapted to fracture from the fracture point in opposing directions along the break path (35) towards each terminus (33). The fracturable portion (30) has a plurality of fracture conductors (40) spaced apart from one another along the break path (35). Each fracture conductor (40) is defined by a localised change in rigidity of the fracturable portion (30) such that the fracture conductors (40) aid in guiding propagation of the fracture along the break path (35).
