This is the sprind lid to a glass bottle. The problem with this design is that the metal wire that makes up the locking device can only be positioned on one side of the bottle. If either or both of the metal parts end up on the other side the lid cannot be closed and the user is left with an interesting puzzle to sort out from an object that wouldnt otherwise deserve a second glance. Adding to this confusion, the bottle is symetrical, and the fact that there are two sides wouldnt be obvious, as well as the lack of indication to suggest what the correct positioning should be, and without careful ajustment a user can potentially break the metal or bend it rendering the lid and the bottle vurtually useless for storing drinkable liquid.
NOTE: the fist two pictures show the lid in the correct position open and closed. The remaining pictures demonstrate how the lid cannot be closed when the metal parts come to be on the other side.
