Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A canister ( 1 ) comprising:
 a container ( 3 ) having a removal opening ( 30 );   a cover ( 5 ) for closing the removal opening ( 30 );   the container ( 3 ) comprises a container wall ( 31 ) and a container insert ( 33 ) which is connected to the container wall ( 31 );   the cover ( 5 ) comprises a cover wall ( 51 ) and a cover insert ( 53 ) which is connected to this cover wall ( 51 );   the container insert ( 33 ) comprises a first closure connection ( 35 );   the cover insert ( 53 ) comprises a second closure connection ( 55 ), which cooperates with the first closure connection to connect the cover ( 5 ) to the container ( 3 ) in a manner that is releasable again in a closed position;   at least one primary securing element ( 37 ) arranged on the container insert; ( 33 ); and   at least one secondary securing element ( 57 ) arranged on the cover insert ( 53 ) so that the primary securing element ( 37 ) and the secondary securing element ( 57 ) are locked together in a positive-locking manner in the closed position of the cover ( 5 ) and secure the cover ( 5 ) on the container ( 3 ) in the closed position.   
     
     
         2 . The canister ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover insert ( 53 ) comprises a frame-shaped edge ( 54 ) which is connected in a positive-locking manner to a frame-shaped edge ( 52 ) of the cover wall ( 51 ). 
     
     
         3 . The canister ( 1 ) according to  claim 2 , wherein each said secondary securing element ( 57 ) projects downward on a lower portion of the edge ( 54 ) and is movable by resilient deformation of at least one of the edge ( 54 ) or the secondary securing element ( 57 ) from a blocking position into a release position. 
     
     
         4 . The canister ( 1 ) according to  claim 3 , wherein the edge ( 54 ) of the cover insert ( 53 ) has a projection ( 65 ) in a lower portion thereof, and the projection ( 65 ) comprises a gripping zone ( 67 ), which projects radially under the edge ( 52 ) of the cover wall ( 51 ), for each said secondary securing element ( 57 ) with radial spacing from said secondary securing element ( 57 ). 
     
     
         5 . The canister ( 1 ) according to  claim 2 , wherein the cover wall ( 51 ) is produced from metal and comprises an inwardly formed beaded rim ( 59 ), and the edge ( 54 ) of the cover insert ( 53 ) comprises structures which cooperate with the beaded rim ( 59 ) and which connect the cover insert ( 53 ) to the cover wall ( 51 ) in a positive-locking manner. 
     
     
         6 . The canister ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the container insert ( 33 ) comprises a frame-shaped edge ( 34 ) which is connected to a frame-shaped edge ( 32 ) of the container wall ( 31 ) in a positive-locking manner, and the edge ( 34 ) of the container insert ( 33 ) comprises a flange ( 45 ) and each said primary securing element ( 37 ) is arranged in a region of the flange ( 34 ). 
     
     
         7 . The canister ( 1 ) according to  claim 6 , wherein each said primary securing element ( 37 ) comprises a leg ( 46 ) which is arranged on an upper side of the flange ( 45 ) and which delimits a receiving space for the respective secondary securing element ( 57 ) in the closed position together with an adjacent portion of the edge ( 34 ), and the leg ( 46 ) comprises at an inner side thereof a recess having a stop face ( 38 ) for the respective secondary securing element ( 57 ). 
     
     
         8 . The canister ( 1 ) according to  claim 6 , wherein each said primary securing element ( 37 ) comprises a recess in the flange ( 45 ), and a lower side of the flange ( 45 ) is a stop face ( 38 ) for the respective secondary securing element ( 57 ). 
     
     
         9 . The canister ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the container wall ( 31 ) is produced from metal and comprises an inwardly formed beaded rim ( 39 ), and an edge ( 34 ) of the container insert ( 33 ) comprises structures which cooperate with the beaded rim ( 39 ) and which connect the container insert ( 33 ) to the container wall ( 31 ) in a positive-locking manner.
