Selectively openable closure for a container

A package, comprising:

• a container having a side wall and a bottom, the side wall and bottom at least partially defining a product storage region;
• a closure configured to cooperate with the container to enclose the product storage region, the closure having a cover and a side wall blocking access to the product storage region when the closure is in a closed position;
• wherein the closure side wall depends axially from the closure cover, and the closure cover and closure side wall cooperate to define a closure interior;
• a collar coupled to the container and disposed between the container side wall and the closure side wall when the closure is in the closed position;
• wherein the closure includes a first locking tab and a second locking tab;
• wherein the collar includes at least one blocking tab, a first slot, and a second slot, wherein the first slot is configured to allow axial movement of the first locking tab through it in a first direction and the second slot is configured to allow axial movement of the second locking through it in the first direction when the closure is in an unlocked position;
• wherein the at least one blocking tab is configured to block axial movement of the first locking tab and the second locking tab past it in the first direction when the closure is in a locked position;
• wherein the closure is movable by a first user input between the locked position and the unlocked position;
• wherein the closure is movable by a second user input in the first direction from the closed position to an open position when the closure is in the unlocked position, and movement of the closure by the second user input from the closed position to the open position is substantially blocked when in the locked position;
• and
• wherein the first locking tab is configured such that it can pass axially through the first slot but not the second slot.

A child resistant pump closure combination, comprising:

• a pump configured to dispense product through a dispensing outlet, the pump extending axially in a first direction from a pump inlet to a dispensing outlet;
• the pump including a push button configured to be actuated by a user to dispense product through the pump and the dispensing outlet;
• a closure configured to enclose the pump, the closure having a cover and a side wall blocking access to the pump when the closure is in a closed position;
• wherein the closure side wall depends axially from the closure cover in a second direction opposite the first direction, the closure cover and closure side wall define a closure interior, and the pump extends in the first direction into the closure interior when the closure is in the closed position;
• a collar disposed circumferentially around the pump and disposed axially below the dispensing outlet in the second direction away from the closure cover when the closure is in the closed position;
• wherein the closure includes a first locking tab and a second locking tab;
• wherein the collar includes at least one blocking tab, a first slot, and a second slot, wherein the first slot is configured to allow axial movement of the first locking tab through it in the first direction and the second slot is configured to allow axial movement of the second locking through it in the first direction when the closure is in an unlocked position;
• wherein the at least one blocking tab is configured to block axial movement of the first locking tab and the second locking tab past it in the first direction when the closure is in a locked position;
• wherein the closure is movable by a first user input between the locked position and the unlocked position;
• wherein the closure is movable by a second user input in the first direction from the closed position to an open position when the closure is in the unlocked position, and movement of the closure by the second user input from the closed position to the open position is substantially blocked when in the locked position;
• and
• wherein the first locking tab is configured such that it can pass axially through the first slot but not the second slot, and the second locking tab is configured such that it can pass axially through the second slot but not the first slot.
