Tamper resistant container

Claim 1

A tamper resistant container comprising: a. container having a hollow body with a continuous thin wall surface symmetrical with respect to a longitudinal axis extending through the center of an open mouth located at a first end of said body with a second end defined by the intersection of the longitudinal axis with the surface of said body, said mouth including an exterior surface having a threaded cap engagement surface, the surface of said body further including a load transfer surface located in proximity to the second end of said body and extending symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of said container around the surface of said container, said container being positionable in a normal position or in an inverted position; and b. a removable cap having a cylindrical disc section with substantially flat, unobstructed parallel first and second surfaces, a center, and a wall extending outward from the first surface of said disc section and including an end and a substantially cylindrical threaded surface for securing said cap to the cap engagement surface of said mouth, the wall of said cap further including a body support surface for engaging the load transfer surface of said body when said container is in the inverted position and maintaining said container in the inverted position with the cap removed from the mouth of said body and for transferring the weight of said container from the mouth through said cap to an underlying support surface when said container is in the normal position, wherein the mouth of said container may be secured to and supported by said cap when said container is in the normal position and wherein the body support surface of said cap contacts the load transfer surface of said container when said container is in the inverted position to transfer the weight of said container through said cap to said underlying support surface.
