  • Patent number: 4577769
    Abstract: A child resistant closure construction for one end of a container, such as a cylindrical container. A removable plug normally closes a dispensing opening at one end of the container, the plug provided with a radially extending ear. The plug and ear are so configured that removal of the plug by a child is difficult because there is no easy method to firmly manually grasp any portion of the plug. A raised abutment is integrally carried by the end closure of the container. Upon rotation of the closure plug to a certain angular position, the ear strikes the abutment and the ear tilts away from the container interior to thereby enable it to be grasped and pulled to remove the closure plug.
