A child-resistant lift-off cap for a container is adapted to be difficult to unseat independently to open the container. An overlay portion associated with the cap is adapted for use to lift the cap from a container to unseat it. The overlay portion has a thumb tab and is deformable to engage and lift the cap when the thumb tab is lifted. The overlay portion raises independently of the cap when the deformable portion is not deformed into engagement with the cap. Alternatively, a lift-top cap having a slot through it, the slot having a first opening near an edge of the cap to be lifted to unseat the cap and a second opening. A slide in the slot has a first end biased to be flush with or recessed into the first opening and a second end biased to normally protrude out of the second opening. The second end of the slide can be depressed against the bias of the slide to displace the first end of the slide out of the first opening to function as a thumb tab to assist in lifting the cap from a container.
A child-resistant lift-off cap assembly for attachment to a container having a generally cylindrical neck or top portion defining an opening, the assembly comprising:
A child-resistant lift-off closure assembly for attachment to a container, comprising:
A cap assembly for attachment to a container including a solid base, the assembly comprising an overlay, a thumb tab and a solid base, wherein the overlay comprises a first and a second portion, wherein the thumb tab is connected to the first portion of the overlay, and wherein the overlay fits over at least a portion of the solid base of the container, to form a child resistant container.
A cap assembly for a container, the assembly comprising a hinge and a cap, wherein the cap comprises a sliding part and a slot, wherein the slot comprises a first and second end, and wherein the sliding part and slot are in parallel alignment and the sliding part extends longitudinally inside the slot and protrudes from the first end of the slot.
A kit comprising (1) a container and cap assembly and (2) a sliding part, wherein the assembly comprises a slot in the cap and wherein the sliding part comprises at least two protruding portions on opposing sides of the sliding part.
