A container having an overcap, which container is adapted for closure by rotatable attachment of the overcap through a quarter-turn, the container comprising an ovate container body having a top surface and a neck, said top surface having a raised interior portion from which the neck extends, said neck having a pair of discontinuous threads describing, in opposed quadrants, arcs of about 90.degree., and a removable overcap having a planar top surface and an ovate skirt and a cap member extending downwardly from said planar top surface, said cap member being provided with a pair of discontinuous threads describing, in opposed aspect, arcs of about 180.degree., said cap member threads being adapted for engagement with the threads of the neck, whereby the container is closed by placement of the cap member on the neck as to provide engagement of the terminal ends of the threads of the neck and of the cap member, the major axis of the overcap being normal to the major axis of the container body, and rotating the overcap one quarter-turn, said ovate skirt of the overcap being brought into substantial alignment with the ovate container body thereby.

A container having an overcap, which container is adapted for closure by rotatable attachment of the overcap through a quarter-turn, the container comprising a noncircular container body having a centrally disposed neck, the neck having a pair of discontinuous threads describing, in opposed quadrants, arcs of about 90.degree., and a removable overcap having a planar top surface and an exterior skirt, the skirt configuration being substantially geometrically similar to that of the container body, said overcap member extending downwardly from said planar top surface, said cap member being provided with a pair of discontinuous threads describing, in opposed aspect, arcs of about 180.degree., said cap member threads being adapted for engagement with the threads of the neck, whereby the container is closed by placement of the cap member on the neck as to provide engagement of the terminal ends of the threads of the neck and of the cap member, and rotating the overcap one-quarter-turn, said skirt of the overcap being brought into substantial alignment with the container body thereby.
