  • Upwardly biasing child-resistant closure for liquid medicaments
    Patent number: 9382049
    Abstract: A child-resistant closure for liquid medicaments consisting of two parts, a dosage cup and a bottle adapter. Dosage cup is configured to have cap lugs which reversibly engage helical locking lugs. In thread-on bottle adapter embodiments, helical locking lugs are located on the bottle adapter. In press-in bottle adapter embodiments, helical locking lugs are located on the neck finish of the bottle. A downward force is required to close the system, said force deforming a flexible shoulder, which in turn, creates an upwardly biasing force acting on the dosage cup to lock it in place in a child-resistant manner.
