Container assemblies including pop-top caps

Abstract

A pop-top container assembly is provided. The assembly includes a pop-top cap and a container. The pop-top cap includes a base portion defining an opening having an inner surface. The pop-top cap further includes a cap portion pivotably coupled to the base portion and pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The container has an outer surface and defines an internal cavity with the outer surface depressible between a relaxed position and a depressed position. The base portion includes a lip extending from the inner surface and the cap portion includes a flange extending from the cap portion. The flange and the lip engage each other when the cap portion is in the closed position to secure the cap portion to the base portion. To this end, the pop-top cap and the container cooperate to disengage the flange and the lip from each other when the outer surface is depressed from the relaxed position to the depressed position.
