Wide mouth childproof container

An improved child resistant wide mouth container comprising:

• a container element and a closure element;
• said container element including a bottom wall and a cylindrical side wall terminating at an upper edge thereof in an open mouth, said side wall having a radially extending closure-engaging flange bordering said mouth at an upper edge of said side wall, and a second radially extending flange positioned below said closure-engaging flange, said second flange being defined by a thickness between upper and lower generally planar surfaces, said second flange defining a gap in the periphery thereof;
• said closure element including an upper end wall and a cylindrical side wall, said side wall having an inner surface defining an annular recess in a cylindrical area adjacent said end wall selectively engaging said closure engaging flange, and an outer surface;
• a radially extending tab projecting from said outer surface, said second flange on said container element defining a peripheral edge surface, said radially extending tab being of substantially the same thickness as said second flange and having a peripheral edge surface lying in congruent relation therewith when said closure element is in engaged condition with said container element;
• whereby said closure element may be disengaged by rotation of said closure element relative to said container element to a position wherein said tab overlies said gap in said second flange to permit manual engagement of said tab.
