  • Publication number: 20070017891
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an outer closure including a closure plane and a circumferentially depending outer skirt extending in a first direction from the closure plane. The closure plane has first ramped lugs equi-spaced around a circumference of the closure plane and which extend axially in the first direction. The outer skirt has screw threads on a radially inward side and a tamper-evident arrangement frangibly connected to a lower edge of the outer skirt. A first ramp of each of the first ramped lugs is substantially parallel to the screw threads on a same radius. The apparatus also includes an inner sealing disk adapted to nest rotatably and axially movably against a side of the closure plane facing the first direction. The inner sealing disk is enclosed by the outer skirt and an axial movement of the inner sealing disk is limited by a retaining arrangement of the outer closure. The inner sealing disk includes second ramped lugs extending axially in a second direction opposite the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20060273060
    Abstract: A cap is for a container having both a child-resistant and a non-child-resistant closing position. In the child-resistant position, tabs or latches projecting from the container are wedged between a resilient lip and tabs or latches projecting from an inner surface of the cap. In the non-child-resistant position, the tabs or latches projecting from the inner surface of the cap are wedged between a holding unit, such as a bowl-shaped cap cover, and tabs or latches projecting from the inner surface of the cap.

  • Publication number: 20060273061
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a closure plane having an annular opening, a circumferentially depending outer skirt having on a radially inward side a plurality of first child-resistant engaging arrangements, and a circumferentially depending inner member arranged parallel to, and radially inward from, the circumferentially depending outer skirt. A dropper is provided which includes a bulb and pipette arranged in the annular opening of the closure plane, the pipette extending axially from the closure plane in a first direction of the outer skirt, the bulb forming an airtight seal with the pipette. A container is provided which includes a base and a sidewall. The sidewall extends circumferentially from the base and an edge of the sidewall away from the base forms a container neck. The container neck includes on an outward side a plurality of second child-resistant engaging arrangements. The closure is molded from one piece.
