  • Patent number: 5979681
    Abstract: A child resistant package comprises a container, a transition piece (112) and a closure (114). A pushtab (30, 130 or 230) on either the closure or the transition piece and an interlocking tooth (32, 132 or 232) on the other of the closure or the transition piece form the child resistant feature of the package. The pushtab (130) is moved inwardly to disengage the pushtab from the interlocking tooth (132) so that the closure may be unthreaded from the container. The transition piece and the closure are molded in a single piece in one molding process. The frangible connections (40) between the closure and the transition piece break upon the unthreading of the closure for the first time to give a tamper indication.
