An oxygen respirator container for an oxygen releasing chemical cartridge comprises a cylindrical bottom part having a bottom wall and an interior side wall with a plurality of spaced apart raised ribs with a recess between adjacent ribs. An oxygen generating cartridge is disposed in the bottom part on the bottom wall and over the ribs of the side wall and at least one holding element is disposed in the recess between adjacent ribs between the side wall in the container. The holding element has a top head portion which projects outwardly from the holding element into the bottom part and overlies the top edge of the cartridge so that it holds the cartridge over the bottom wall. The side wall of the container also includes an indented part adjacent the top of the cartridge with a top ledge of the indented part defining a holding nose. The holding element has a deflectable tab portion which engages in the indented part under the nose. The tab also includes a straight portion which is held by the cartridge substantially parallel to the side wall of the container such that the deflectable tab portion is urged into the indented part of the side wall.
