<p>A thermoplastic, injection-moulded container (1) comprising an end wall (3), a substantially tubular body portion (2) and a threaded portion (5) remote from the end wall (3) for receiving a cap (4) with mutually-cooperating threads, wherein the threads (6) are rounded, whereby the threaded portion (5) for receiving the cap (4) is located on the tubular body portion (2) and the tubular body portion's wall thickness, its inner diameter and its axial length are selected such that the threaded portion (5) is able to flex sufficiently to permit axial withdrawal of the container (1) from a mould of an injection-moulded machine with no torque being applied to the container and without the need for the mould to split. The invention also disclose methods for the production of such a container.</p> |
