Child-resistant closure

A child-resistant package comprising

• a container including a discharge outlet, and
• a child-resistant closure including:
• a body including an upper wall formed to include a product-dispensing spout, an inner wall appended to the upper wall and arranged to extend axially away from upper wall, wherein the inner wall includes an interior mount rim appended to an inside surface of the interior wall and adapted to mate with the discharge outlet formed on the container, and an outer wall appended to the upper wall and arranged to extend axially away from the upper wall relative to a central axis of the body, wherein the outer wall is located radially outward of the inner wall relative to the central axis, and wherein the inner wall and the outer wall cooperate to define a first tab-receiving space located radially between the outer wall and the inner wall relative to the central axis and a second tab-receiving space located radially between the outer wall and the inner wall relative to the central axis,
• a flip-top cap including a top wall, a side wall coupled to the top wall and arranged to extend axially away from the top wall, a first deformable tab coupled to a bottom end of the side wall and aligned with the first tab-receiving space, and a second deformable tab coupled to the bottom end of the side wall and aligned with the second tab-receiving space, and
• a hinge coupled between the body and the flip-top cap to support the flip-top cap for movement relative to the body from a closed position on the body covering the product-dispensing spout to an open position away from the body uncovering the product dispensing spout,
• wherein each deformable tab includes a cap latch extending radially outward from the deformable tab and arranged to engage a corresponding body latch extending radially inward from an inside surface of the outer wall in the closed position, and wherein the cap latch disengages the body latch upon deformation of each deformable tab so that the flip-top cap is movable from the closed position to the open position,
• wherein the body further includes first and second front wall supports and first and second rear wall supports that each extend radially relative to the central axis to interconnect the inner wall and the outer wall and to define the first tab-receiving space circumferentially between the first front wall support and the first rear wall support and the second tab-receiving space circumferentially between the second front wall support and the second rear wall support,
• wherein the first and second front wall supports are appended to the upper wall and are arranged to extend downwardly away from the upper wall relative to the central axis from an upper end at a lower surface of the upper wall to a lower end at a lower end of the inner wall, wherein the first and second rear wall supports are appended to the upper wall and are arranged to extend downwardly away from the upper wall relative to the central axis from an upper end at the lower surface of the upper wall to a lower end at the lower end of the inner wall, and
• wherein each deformable tab includes a tab panel, wherein each tab panel has a height that extends each corresponding deformable tab downward along a majority of a height of the outer wall and past a lower end of the inner wall to each corresponding body latch when the flip-top cap is in the closed position.

A child-resistant closure comprising

• a body including an upper wall formed to include a product-dispensing spout, an inner wall coupled to the upper wall and arranged to extend axially away from upper wall relative to a central axis of the body, wherein the inner wall includes an interior mount rim appended to an inside surface of the interior wall and adapted to mate with a discharge outlet formed on a container, and an outer wall coupled to the upper wall and arranged to extend axially away from the upper wall relative to the central axis, wherein the outer wall is located radially outward of the inner wall relative to the central axis, and wherein the inner wall and the outer wall cooperate to define a first tab-receiving space located at least partially radially between the outer wall and the inner wall relative to the central axis and a second tab-receiving space located at least partially radially between the outer wall and the inner wall relative to the central axis,
• a flip-top cap including a top wall, a side wall coupled to the top wall and arranged to extend axially away from the top wall, a first deformable tab coupled to the side wall and aligned with the first tab-receiving space, and a second deformable tab coupled to the side wall and aligned with the second tab-receiving space, and
• a hinge coupled between the body and the flip-top cap to support the flip-top cap for movement relative to the body from a closed position on the body covering the product-dispensing spout to an open position away from the body uncovering the product dispensing spout,
• wherein each deformable tab includes a cap latch extending in a radial direction from the deformable tab and arranged to engage a body latch coupled to the body when the flip top cap is in the closed position, and wherein the cap latch disengages the body latch upon deformation of each deformable tab so that the flip-top cap is movable from the closed position to the open position, and
• wherein each body latch is coupled to a latch-support panel included in the outer wall of the body, the latch-support panel has a first height from a lower end of the outer wall to an upper end of the latch-support panel, and each deformable tab has a second height from the side wall of the flip-top cap to a lower end of each deformable tab, the second height being greater than the first height, and
• wherein the body further includes first and second front wall supports and first and second rear wall supports that each extend radially relative to the central axis to interconnect the inner wall and the outer wall, the first and second front wall supports and the first and second rear wall supports extend at least partially along the first height of the latch support panel to reinforce the latch support panel.
