A locking means for a receptacle that includes a container and cap that are moved into a closed position by moving the cap toward the container opening along a line generally parallel to the centerline of the container opening. The container is opened by removing the cap in the following manner, pivoting one point on the cap about another point on the edge opposite said first point. The locking means includes a male latching means and a female latching means. The male locking means includes a closure cam portion to lock the male locking means in the female locking means, a locking abutment located opposite the closure cam portion, and a opening cam portion for unlocking the male locking means from the female locking means. The female locking means includes a cavity for receiving the male locking means. The cavity includes a holding edge to mate with the locking abutment on the male latching means, and a camming edge to be moved by the opening cam portion of the male locking means.
