Abstract: A child-resistant closure (10) for a container is provided and comprises outer and inner nested caps. The outer cap (15) loosely encompasses said inner cap (20) to allow relative rotary and axial movement therebetween. The outer and inner caps have corresponding drive formations (19, 34) which can be brought into driving engagement when the caps are moved axially towards one another. The outer cap comprises a plurality of spring fingers (18) for urging the inner and outer caps axially away from each other. The inner cap has a plurality of ramps (30). The spring fingers provide a biasing force to bias the outer and inner caps away from each other. The spring fingers are capable of drivingly engaging the ramps to drive the outer and inner caps together in a screwing-on direction, but slip over the ramps freely in an unscrewing direction. Downward pressure on the outer cap overcomes the spring finger bias to move the caps to allow unscrewing of the closure using the inner and outer cap drive formations.

Abstract: A child-resistant closure (10) is provided and comprises a lid (20) and a base (15). The closure comprises child-resistant locking means for preventing unwanted opening of the lid. The locking means comprising two locking members (23A, 23B) carried on or by a respective release member, the locking members engaging the base to prevent opening of the lid. The release members are movable towards each other to disengage the locking members from the base.

Abstract: A child-resistant closure for a container includes outer and inner nested caps each having a top panel and a side skirt depending generally peripherally therefrom, said outer cap loosely generally encompassing said inner cap to allow relative rotary and axial movement there between. The outer and inner caps have corresponding drive formations which can be brought into driving engagement when the caps are moved axially towards one another to a first axial position. The external surface of the inner cap side skirt includes one or more axial ribs for allowing venting when the outer and inner caps are initially assembled together. The inner cap top panel is provided with a plurality of castellations, and each rib connects to an edge of a respective castellation.

Abstract: A child-resistant closure includes a body with a base and a lid, the closure having a locked position in which the lid is held in a closed position and an unlocked position in which the lid is released and can be moved to an open position. The sidewall has one or more pressing pads for moving the closure to the unlocked position. The or each pad is supported on the sidewall by force insulating links which restrict lateral spreading of forces into the sidewall during inward deflection of the pad(s).

Abstract: A child-resistant closure (10) is provided and comprises a base (15) and a lid (20). The base has an inner skirt (50) and an outer skirt (25). The closure has locking means (81, 86) tor releasably locking the lid in a closed position. The outer skirt has one or more pressing zones (80, 85) which can be pressed to release the locking means. The inner skirt has one or more cut-outs (65, 70) in register with the or each pressing zone whereby to allow greater deflection thereof.
