  • Patent number: 4346821
    Abstract: A child-resistant safety closure is provided for closing the outlet of a hand-operated fluid product sprayer dispenser used on a container to prevent leaks from the container during periods of non-use and to resist accidental use by children or unwary adults. The closure cannot be moved from an "outlet closed" position to an "outlet open" position without the performance of at least two discrete, predetermined definite actions by the user to first disable a lock and then to linearly or rotatably move the cap into the "outlet open" position to permit spraying or dispensing. A closing member is connected to the bottom portion of the sprayer for removably mounting the sprayer to the container and closing the same. The member and the sprayer to which it is connected cannot be removed without the performance of at least two discrete, predetermined definite actions, which actions are difficult if not impossible for young children to perform.
