Child Proof Closure

A closure comprising:

• an outer cap including at least one drive element disposed proximate a top interior surface of the outer cap and at least one aperture extending through an exterior surface of the outer cap;
• an inner cap dimensioned and configured to be assembled within the outer cap, the inner cap including:
• a closure engaging mechanism disposed on an interior surface of the inner cap, the closure engaging mechanism dimensioned and configured to engage a corresponding container engaging mechanism for securing the inner cap to a container,
• at least one drive element disposed proximate a top exterior surface of the inner cap operable to engage the at least one drive element of the outer cap when the outer cap is turned in a first direction to screw the assembled closure onto a container and permit removal of the assembled closure upon a push-down-and-turn action being applied to the outer cap in a second direction and
• a key receiver disposed proximate an exterior surface of the inner cap;
• and
• a key having at least one projection extending from a handle portion, the at least one projection dimensioned and configured to be inserted through the at least one aperture of the outer cap to engage the key receiver of the inner cap when the at least one aperture of the outer cap is vertically aligned with the key receiver of the inner cap and the key is rotated in at least the second direction for removing the assembled closure from the container.

A closure comprising:

• an outer cap including at least one drive element disposed on an interior surface of the outer cap and at least one aperture extending through an exterior surface of the outer cap;
• an inner cap dimensioned and configured to be assembled within the outer cap, the inner cap including:
• a closure engaging mechanism disposed on an interior surface of the inner cap, the closure engaging mechanism dimensioned and configured to engage a corresponding container engaging mechanism for securing the inner cap to a container,
• at least one ratchet ramp disposed proximate a periphery of a top exterior surface of the inner cap, the at least one ratchet ramp including an elongated ramp surface dimensioned and configured so that the at least one drive element of the outer cap is operable to engage the at least one ratchet ramp when the outer cap is turned in a first direction to screw the assembled closure onto a container while preventing a user to apply a depressive axial force and simultaneous turning of the outer cap in a second direction opposite the first direction to unscrew the assembled closure from the container, and
• at least one receiver corresponding to the at least one aperture of the outer cap;
• and
• a key having at least one projection extending from a handle portion, the at least one projection dimensioned and configured to be inserted through the at least one aperture of the outer cap to engage the at least one receiver of the inner cap when the at least one aperture of the outer cap is vertically aligned with the at least one receiver of the inner cap for unscrewing the assembled closure from the container by rotating the key in the second direction.

A closure comprising:

• an outer cap including at least one set of spaced apart apertures disposed proximate a periphery of a top surface of the outer cap;
• an inner cap dimensioned and configured to be assembled within the outer cap, the inner cap including:
• a closure engaging mechanism disposed on an interior surface of the inner cap, the closure engaging mechanism dimensioned and configured to engage a corresponding container engaging mechanism for securing the inner cap to a container, and
• at least one set of spaced apart receivers corresponding to the at least one set of spaced apart apertures of the outer cap such that the spaced apart apertures of the outer cap are operable to be vertically aligned with the spaced apart receivers of the inner cap;
• and
• a key having at least one set of spaced apart projections extending from a handle portion, the spaced apart projections dimensioned and configured to be inserted through the at least one set of spaced apart apertures of the outer cap to engage the at least one set of spaced apart receivers of the inner cap when the spaced apart apertures of the outer cap are vertically aligned with the spaced apart receivers of the inner cap for screwing and unscrewing the assembled closure from the container by turning the key.
