    There should be a small plastic catch mechanism on like on a ball point pen - but after a couple of kicks, it tends to snap off and go missing. The spring clip on the top is not designed to hold it shut, only to limit it's fully open position.

    I took advantage of mine being open all the time and put an air freshener in it
