A closure with a self-resealing elastomeric septum has a shutter slidable between a closed position over the septum and an open position for exposing the septum. The shutter is spring biased towards the closed position, and may be pushed and held away from the closed position with the tip of an oral syringe to gain access for penetration of the elastomeric septum. The closure may have an upper portion mounted to a lower portion fastened for closing a container. A conduit extends through the upper and lower portions to the interior of the container. A break-away connection is adapted to preferentially break or separate when a sufficient bending or twisting force is applied to the upper portion relative to the lower portion. The conduit may be normally closed by a self-resealing elastomeric septum provided in the lower portion and a slidable shutter may be provided on the upper portion.
A plug adapted to make a close fit in a bottle neck, a self-resealing elastomeric septum in said plug, said septum configured for penetration with the tip of an oral syringe, a shutter slidable between a closed position over said septum and an open position for exposing said septum, and a spring normally urging said shutter towards said closed position, arranged and configured such that said shutter may be pushed and held away from said closed position with the said tip of an oral syringe to gain access for penetration of said elastomeric septum, a top plate fastened to said plug, and a cap over said top plate, said cap secured to said plug and wherein said spring and said shutter are contained between said cap and said top plate.
A cap assembly, comprising a plug adapted to make a close fit in a bottle neck, a self-resealing elastomeric septum in said plug, said septum configured for admitting the tip of an oral syringe, a shutter over said septum slidable between a closed position and an open position, a spring normally urging said shutter towards said closed position, a cap over said plug, said cap slotted for admission of a said oral syringe tip into engagement with said shutter such that said shutter may be pushed against said spring urging and held away from said closed position with the said tip of an oral syringe to gain access for penetration of said elastomeric septum.
A safety cap assembly for use with a plug adapted to make a close fit in a bottle neck, the plug having a self-resealing elastomeric septum configured for penetration with the tip of an oral syringe, said cap assembly comprising:
