Child resistant package

A child resistant package comprising

• a plastic container having a side wall, a bottom wall and an open end,
• a plastic closure including an outer member and an inner member,
• said inner member having a cylindrical portion thereof extending through an opening in the outer member such that axial pressure may be applied through said portion to move the inner member relative to the outer member in an axial direction,
• a plastic liner insert sealingly engaging the upper end of the container,
• said inner member having an annular wall with a rib on the inner surface thereof adapted to engage and the liner such that when the closure is removed from the container, the liner insert is also removed,
• spring means between the liner and the inner member yieldingly urging the inner member axially outwardly toward the outer member,
• said container having a plurality of radially resilient portions extending axially upwardly in cantilever fashion,
• said outer member including a peripheral skirt an annular bead on the inner surface adapted to engage said radial resilient portions on the container,
• said rib on said annular wall of said inner member being operable upon axial inward movement of said inner member to move said radially movable portions of the container to disengage said portions from the bead on the outer member,
• said skirt of said outer member having spaced annular grooves, said wall of said inner member having a complementary bead on the outer surface thereof such that the bead engages one of said grooves upon axially inward movement of the inner member relative to the outer member so that the closure can be removed and applied by axial movement of the outer member carrying with it both the outer member and the inner member and the insert.

A child resistant closure for use with a container having a side wall, a bottom wall and an open end and radially resilient portions at the upper end of said side wall,

• said closure including an outer member and an inner member,
• said inner member having a portion thereof extending through an opening in the outer member such that axial pressure may be applied through said portion to move the inner member relative to the outer member in an axial direction,
• a liner insert adapted to sealingly engage the upper end of the container,
• interengaging means between the inner member and the liner insert such that when the closure is removed from the container, the liner insert is also removed,
• spring means between the liner and the inner member yieldingly urging the inner member axially outwardly toward the outer member,
• said outer member including a peripheral skirt having portions thereof adapted to engage said radial resilient portions on the container,
• said inner member having an annular wall adjacent the skirt of the outer member,
• said annular wall having means thereon operable upon axial inward movement of said inner member to move said radially movable portions of the container to disengage said portions from the portions of the outer member,
• said wall of said inner member and said skirt of said outer member having interengaging portions which engage upon axially inward movement of the inner member relative to the outer member so that the closure can be removed by axial movement carrying with it both the outer member and the inner member and the insert.

A child resistant closure for use with a container having a side wall, a bottom wall and an open end, and radially resilient portions at the upper end of the container,

• said closure being made of plastic including an outer member and an inner member,
• said inner member having a portion thereof extending through an opening in the outer member such that axial pressure may be applied through said portion to move the inner member relative to the outer member in an axial direction,
• a plastic liner insert adapted to sealingly engaging the upper end of the container,
• interengaging means between the inner member and the liner such that when the closure is removed from the container, the liner insert is also removed,
• spring means between the liner and the inner member yieldingly urging the inner member axially outwardly toward the outer member,
• said outer member including a peripheral skirt having an annular bead thereof adapted to engage said radial resilient portions on the container,
• said inner member having an annular wall adjacent the skirt of the outer member,
• said annular wall having a rib thereon operable upon axial inward movement of said inner member to move said radially movable portions of the container to disengage said portions from the portions of the outer member,
• said wall of said inner member having a bead and said skirt of said outer member having spaced annular grooves selectively engaged by said bead upon axially inward or outward movement of the inner member relative to the outer member so that the closure can be removed and applied by axial movement carrying with it the outer member and the inner member and the insert.
