CONTAINER FOR CYANOACRYLATE ADHESIVE

PURPOSE:To make a container safe for infants and the like by a locking mechanism whereby, in fastening an outer cap to main body of the container, projections at four points on a cylindrical part, provided at the shoulder of a square pillar-shaped container, are brought in contact engagement with fastening projections provided inside a square pillar-shaped outer cap and the outer cap is released from the main body of the container by elastically deforming and turning the outer cap. CONSTITUTION:Fastening projections 11 on an outer cap are placed under and in contact with ledges 10 on the main body of a container and the tips of the fastening projections 11 are in contact with the main body of the container so that they permit turning shifts, but since fastening struts 13 on the outer cap are engaged with projections 12 on the main body of the container, the outer cap is completely immovable. To release the outer cap from the engagement, the outer cap is held with two opposite corners, where the outer cap has no fastening struts, between fingers and pressed a little hard from the outside; then the outer cap is slightly deformed to assume a lozenge and then the fastening struts 13 withdraw from the engagement with the projections 12; the outer cap in that state is turned 45 degrees to the right or to the left and lifted softly. To put the outer cap in place, the outer cap is pushed down to the shoulder softly at the position after the turn by 45 degrees; the outer cap is pressed from the outside at the corners where the outer cap has no fastening struts, and, after withdrawal of the fastening struts 13, turned. While no vertical movement is allowed, the projections 12 stop the fastening struts 13 from being turned; thus the outer cap is held immovable. Thus a safe container whose cap can not be readily released even when it is in the hands of an infant or the like is obtainable.
