Abstract

Various embodiments of containers are described having a base and a cap that is configured to couple with the base. The base includes a housing having a hollow interior, with the housing extending upwardly from an upper surface of the base. The base also includes a set of flexible tabs that are configured to flex when a force is applied. The housing has a set of outward projections, each of which is configured to be inserted into a recessed portion or notch of the cap when the cap is coupled with the base. The cap further includes a set of downward projections that contact the flexible tabs, such that a downward force applied to the cap causes the flexible tabs to flex downwardly, and the projections of the housing to move within the first and second recessed portions.
