Hey, many of us so-called "Industrial Designers" do more than just product styling. I prefer the term "Product Designer" because that's what I do: I design products. That includes all the messy little details like plastic piece-part design, assembly and yes, snap fits.

So, when I come across a nifty little design guide in Machine Design Magazine for designing the kind of snap-fit you see on a bottle of Tylenol, I share it. You never know when you're going to need stuff like this. And hey, nobody likes having to go to an "engineer" to help them do something like this. (Many of us don't have anyone to throw it to anyway.)
