A child resistant nasal sprayer assembly oriented along a central axis, the child resistant nasal sprayer assembly comprising:
- a bottle having a body defined by a cylindrical sidewall extending between a lower end and an opposite upper end, a bottom wall having a periphery contiguous with the cylindrical sidewall lower end, the sidewall upper end defining a bottle body opening, the bottle body defining an interior bottle space containing a dispensable composition;
- an actuation safety lock member in the form of a C-shaped body extending between a proximal end and a distal end, a push button feature protruding radially outward from an exterior, convex surface proximate to the proximal end of the C-shaped body, wherein, during use, the structure of the actuation safety lock member enables inward radial flexure along a flexion length of the C-shaped body between the push button feature and the distal end;
- a rotatable and compressible dispensing actuator including a central body portion in the form of a cylindrical sidewall having an interior sidewall surface and an opposite exterior sidewall surface, the dispensing actuator central body cylindrical sidewall transitioning, at an upper end thereof, to a dispensing actuator upper wall, the dispensing actuator upper wall transitioning radially inward to a dispensing actuator nozzle having a central dispensing actuator nozzle orifice, a pair of actuator wings extending radially outward from the exterior sidewall surface of the central body portion, the pair of actuator wings circumferentially offset from one another, the central body cylindrical sidewall having an opening extending completely therethrough, the opening sized and shaped to enable extension of the push button feature of the safety lock member therethrough when the dispensing actuator is in a child-resistant locked position, the opposite proximal and distal ends of the safety lock member C-shaped body each bearing against respective edges of a raised safety lock member retention feature protruding radially inward from the interior surface of the central body portion cylindrical sidewall, the exterior surface of the safety lock member C-shaped body flexion length between the push button feature and the distal end bearing against the interior surface of the central body portion cylindrical sidewall when the dispensing actuator is in said child-resistant locked position;
- a bottle cap having a base section and an upper section adjoined by an annular transition wall having a plane oriented transverse to a common central axis of the base section and the upper section, the base section having a cylindrical sidewall secured at a lower end thereof about the bottle opening, the annular transition wall defining a central aperture, the upper section of bottle cap having a cylindrical sidewall terminating at an upper edge, the upper edge defining a stepped first notch and a second notch circumferentially offset from the stepped first notch;
- and
- a dispensing pump subassembly extending from within the interior bottle space, through the central opening in the bottle cap annular transition wall, and into an interior of the dispensing actuator, the dispensing pump subassembly arranged and configured to dispense a volume of the dispensable composition contained within the bottle body interior space,
- wherein, upon applying a push button release force to a push button contact surface of the actuation safety lock member C-shaped body, and subsequently rotating the dispensing actuator in a direction toward a lowermost notch of the bottle cap stepped first notch, wherein the dispensing actuator is in an unlocked state, the dispensing actuator may be freely compressed to communicate a volume of the dispensable composition from the interior bottle space, through the dispensing pump subassembly, for emission through an opening of the dispensing actuator nozzle.
