Abstract: A child resistant dispensing system having a flip-top closure. The flip-top closure has a push button positioned in the skirt of the flip-top lid wherein an opposed squeeze disengages the child resistant latch mechanism. The child resistant latch mechanism includes a latch projecting from the flip-top lid and engaging a projection of the closure body. A latch guide assists in positioning the latch during engagement with the projection of the closure body. The push button may be positioned substantially flush with the outside surface of the flip-top lid and closure body.

Abstract: A closure having a stopping mechanism whereby a stop lug is positionable between a flexed and unflexed position relative to a spring gap. The stop lug may project from a skirt of the closure top wall. The spring gap is positioned adjacent the stop lug to provide an area for the stop lug to travel when outside forces are applied to the stop lug and subsequently return back to the unflexed position. The stop lug may have a substantially vertical support rib in combination with a plurality of annularly spaced ribs.

Abstract: Complementary load bearing surfaces are provided on a child resistant closure and container combination forming at least one load carrying member preventing axial forces under stacking load conditions from causing biasing, child resistance, and/or seal failure when the closure is in a stacking position on the complimentary container.

Abstract: A safety closure for use on a container neck having a closure top wall, an annular sidewall depending downwardly from an outer periphery of the top wall defining an open bottom opposite the top wall. The sidewall has inner annular surface with a plurality of lugs projecting inward therefrom, wherein each lug has a lug top surface forming an angle of incidence of greater than 90° with the inner annular surface of the annular sidewall. The plurality of lugs are engageable with a plurality of lug receiving notches in a plurality of bayonet lugs on a container neck. A spring member depends from the closure top wall and is resiliently engageable with the container neck to bias the safety closure away from the container neck. Optional closure retaining means may be incorporated within the closure, container, or both.

Abstract: A closure having a top wall, an annular side wall depending downwardly from the top wall defining an open bottom, an optional internal thread projecting inwardly from the inner annular surface of the annular side wall, and at least two lugs or two slots in a thread wherein the at least two lugs extend inward from the inner annular surface and at least one lug has a different arc length and at least one of the at least two slots in a thread is of a different arc length.

Abstract: A child resistant dispenser comprising a double-shelled threaded closure and dual opposed motion child resistant features. The child resistant dispenser comprises a double shelled closure having a first squeeze and turn child resistant feature. Hingeably attached to the closure is a lid. The lid has a squeeze and lift feature used to open the lid and access the dispenser comprising the second child resistant feature. The child resistant dispenser may be disposed on a container and in fluid communication therewith.
