When a syringe has been used, it can be entered, needle tip first, down into a spigot (10) until the skirt of the needle assembly plugs firmly into the spigot, being held by ribs (12). The capsule can then be worked free and removed. Thereupon, a cover (14) is rotated in either direction and one of a pair of lugs (16) enters an adjacent slot (13) in the spigot (10). As the cover (14) is turned further, the lug (16) acts as a wedge and forces the needle assembly down. As the lug passes across the spigot (10), it finally presses the needle assembly clear, and that assembly drops into the main body of the container. |
