A child resistant closure for a container wherein an outer cap is freely rotatable on an inner cap. A pair of oppositely extending latch tabs extend through passageways provided in the inner cap into recesses provided in the outer cap to couple the inner and outer caps for removal of the closure from the container. The latch tab members are connected to a manually rotatable hub so that the latch tab members are simultaneously moved to the coupled position. The recesses in the outer cap are provided with cam surfaces engagable with the latch tabs for automatically moving the latch tabs to the released position into the passageways during the securing of the closure to the bottle. Indicia are provided on the outer cap and hub member to indicate when the passageways and recesses are aligned and when the latch tabs have been extended into the recesses.
A child resistant closure for a container comprising, an inner cap having internal threads for engagement with threads on the container, an outer cap freely rotatable on said inner cap in a closure removal direction, each of said caps having a top wall and a depending skirt portion, the top wall of said outer cap being spaced above the top wall of said inner cap, an annular wall positioned in said space and being integral with the top wall of said inner cap and extending upwardly therefrom, at least one passageway extending through said annular wall, at least one recess in a portion of the skirt of the outer cap alignable with said passageway, at least one latch tab slidably mounted in said passageway, and means mounted on the top wall of said inner cap and connected to said at least one latch tab for sliding said at least one latch tab into the recess to thereby interconnect the inner and outer caps, whereby the closure can be removed from the container.
