The package of claim 12 wherein the studs 27 have a trapezoidal cross section including inwardly, downwardly tapered portion 28 having an angle (α) of taper of about 1 degree to about 89 degrees to horizontal.
A maze type package comprising,
- a cylindrical container (5) having a body section (19) and a plurality of equally spaced mazes (21) on the container (5), and a closure (15) having a plurality of equally spaced, identical studs (27) having a width for engaging the mazes (21) to releasably secure the closure (15) to the container (5),
- wherein the mazes (21) each comprise a plurality of ribs (23) configured to define a first lowermost circumferential groove (A) having a locking region (9) therein, a second circumferential groove (C) having closed ends, a third circumferential groove (E), a fourth circumferential groove (G), a first axial groove (B), a second axial groove (D), a third axial groove (F), a fourth axial groove (H) and a fifth axial groove (K),
- wherein the second circumferential groove (C) is disposed above the first lowermost circumferential groove (A), the fourth circumferential groove (G) is disposed above the first lowermost circumferential groove (A) and is circumferentially disposed from the second circumferential groove (C), the third circumferential groove (E) is disposed above each of the first lowermost circumferential groove (A), the second circumferential groove (C) and the fourth circumferential groove (G) and wherein
- the first axial groove (B) intersects the first lowermost circumferential groove (A) and the second circumferential groove (C), the second axial groove (D) intersects the second circumferential groove (C) and the third circumferential groove (E) and wherein
- the second axial groove (D) is laterally disposed from the first axial groove (B), and
- wherein the third axial groove (F) intersects each of the third circumferential groove (E) and the fourth circumferential groove (G) and
- wherein the third axial groove (F) is circumferentially disposed from each of the first axial groove (B) and the second axial groove (D), and
- wherein the fourth axial groove (H) intersects the fourth circumferential groove (G) and
- wherein the fourth axial groove (H) is circumferentially disposed from each of the third axial groove (F), the second axial groove (D) and the first axial groove (B), and
- wherein the first lowermost circumferential groove (A) includes a detent (35) therein to secure a respective stud (27) in the locking region (9).
