摘要

The disclosed subject matter is directed to a fastening assembly and a container system containing the same. The fastening assembly comprises a cylindrical neck member, comprising a series of convolutions axially extending around at least a portion of the external surface of the neck member and forming an interrupted helical thread of incomplete formation; a collar member configured for screw fastening with the neck member, comprising at least one rib configured for thread-engagement with the helical thread, the at least one rib forming a portion of an internal thread.

主权项

1. A fastening assembly extending along a longitudinal axis and comprising:
(a) a cylindrical neck member, comprising a series of convolutions axially extending around at least a portion of the external surface of the neck member and forming an interrupted helical thread of incomplete formation; (b) a collar member configured for screw fastening with the neck member, the collar member having an inner cylindrical surface comprising at least one rib configured for thread-engagement with the helical thread, the at least one rib forming a portion of an internal thread; and (c) wherein each convolution of the series of convolutions extends from a lead end to a brake end and wherein the brake end is spaced from the lead end forming therebetween a sliding gap constituted by the incomplete formation of the interrupted helical thread.
