A container

A container comprising:

• a base portion defining a storage compartment and including a cylindrical side wall;
• a lid having a resiliently deformable cylindrical peripheral wall;
• wherein the side and peripheral walls include respective cooperating elements that engage when the lid is placed on the base in a direction extending along a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical side and peripheral walls with the side wall of the base being at least partly received within the peripheral wall of the lid, to couple the lid to the base and close the storage compartment;
• the side and peripheral walls further comprising respective cam members that are spaced from each other in a radial direction from the longitudinal axis when the lid is coupled to the base, wherein said cam member on the peripheral wall of the lid is movable in a radially inward direction towards the longitudinal axis in response to the resilient deformation of the peripheral wall of the lid so that the cam member on the peripheral wall of the lid radially aligns with the cam member on the side wall of the base and so that, upon relative rotation of the base and the lid when the peripheral wall of the lid is resiliently deformed, said respective cam members engage and generate a force between the lid and the base in an opposite direction along the longitudinal axis to disengage the cooperating elements to decouple the lid from the base and open the storage compartment.
