Abstract: A closure for a container is disclosed which prevents accidental openings or opening by children. The closure is attached to a hollow container having a wall across the dispensing end with an opening therethrough to allow removal of the contents. The wall also has a central opening and a slot extending away from the dispensing opening. The closure has a plug extending through the central opening, the plug having an enlarged end to prevent removal of the closure from the container. To open the container, the closure is manually depressed and rotated to align the plug with the slot, and the closure is manually slid laterally across the container to uncover the dispensing opening.
