Receptacle

A receptacle comprising:

• a container;
• and
• a cap, the cap being repeatedly attachable to the container to close the receptacle, the cap having a passage having an opening formed therein, the container having a neck configured to be inserted into the passage via the opening of the cap along a longitudinal axis of the receptacle, the opening of the cap having a non-circular shaped inner contour complementary to a non-circular shaped outer contour of the neck,
• an outer circumferential surface of the neck is an outer circumferential surface of a twisted non-circular element twisted around the longitudinal axis in a first rotational direction,
• and an inner circumferential surface of the passage correspondingly configured as an inner circumferential surface of a twisted non-circular pipe twisted around the longitudinal axis in the same first rotational direction so that the cap is capable of being attached onto the neck of the container by rotating the cap relative to the container.

• an inner circumferential surface of the passage and an outer circumferential surface of the neck are configured so that a form-fitting engagement in the axial direction is generated by rotating the cap relative to the container around the longitudinal axis,
• and the inner circumferential surface of the passage and the outer circumferential surface of the neck are configured so that a press-fitting engagement in a radial direction between the inner circumferential surface of the passage and the outer circumferential surface of the neck is generated by rotating the cap relative to the container around the longitudinal axis after the cap is in form-fitting engagement with the neck to lock the cap in place relative to the container.
