Container with a safety measuring cap

A child resistant container for holding a liquid or solid material, comprising:

• a container body having a closed base section and an open top section, the closed base section being cylindrical and having a base section diameter at a transition point height where the base section begins to transition to the open top section, the open top section having a threaded exterior and being cylindrical with an open top section diameter, the open top section diameter being less than the base section diameter, the open top section having an exterior locking protrusion;
• a measuring cup, when inverted, forming a cap configured to couple with the container body for closing the container, the measuring cup having an outer cup, an inner cup, and a base, the outer cup having an outer cup wall extending upward from the base, the inner cup having an inner cup wall extending upward from the base and positioned interior to the outer cup wall, the outer cup wall having a first outer cup wall portion and a second outer cup wall portion, the second outer cup wall portion defines a second outer cup wall portion diameter, the outer cup wall being resilient and having an interior locking protrusion;
• when the when inner cup is threadably engaged with the open top section:
• the first outer cup wall portion extends over the open top section and the second outer cup wall portion extends over the transition point, the second outer cup wall portion diameter being at least ⅛″ greater than the base section diameter;
• the interior locking protrusion and exterior locking protrusion providing a child resistant mechanism, the interior locking protrusion and exterior locking protrusion cooperating to permit the inner cup to be threadably engaged with the open top section and preventing the inner cup from being threadably disengaged from the open top section, the exterior locking protrusion engaging with the interior locking protrusion when the inner cup wall portion is rotated towards threadably disengaging from the open top section to thereby prevent rotation;
• and
• the resilience of the outer cup wall permitting the second outer cup wall portion to be squeezed toward the transition point, the squeezing moving the inner protrusion outward to a position where the exterior locking protrusion does not sufficiently engage with the interior locking protrusion to prevent rotation when the inner inner cup wall portion is rotated towards threadably disengaging from the open top section to thereby permit rotation.
