Abstract
A child resistant container and cap assembly requiring simultaneous tilting of a lock element in the form of a ring relative to a cap and rotation of the cap relative to the container to disengage complementary lock elements on the ring and container to permit disengagement of threads normally holding the cap in sealed relationship on the neck of a container.
Claims10
A child resistant container and cap assembly requiring a twist action of the cap relative to the container to open and close the container, said assembly comprising:
- a cylindrical cap, a curved lock member extending around the exterior of said cap in spaced relation thereto, pivot means supporting said lock member relative to said cap for limited tilting movement of said lock member from a first to a second position relative to said cap, a pair of abutment elements on said lock member and said container, respectively, engageable with each other to prevent twisting of said cap relative to said container when said ring is in said first position and permitting twisting of said cap relative to said container when said lock member is in said second position.
