Abstract

The invention relates to a receptacle which can be dismantled into two elements and can withstand an internal pressure, preferably made from plastic which is impossible or difficult to dismantle the receptacle when it is under pressure. The receptacle comprises a male element which partially penetrates into a female element. The female element bears, on its outer face, attachment means, for example a male thread designed to cooperate with attachment means such as a female thread carried by a connecting member such as a ring fixed to the male element for the purposes of axial translation. When the pressure is applied to the receptacle, the latter deforms until the attachment means lock, in particular by jamming.
