Abstract
A child-resistant product dispenser includes a container having an open neck. A cap having an opening is rotatably supported by the neck of the container in closed and locked condition. One of the neck and cap includes at least a first trackway and the other of the neck and cap includes at least a first projection sized to be received in and travel in the trackway. In its closed and locked position the cap can be manually rotated around the neck of the bottle. Upon a predetermined orientation of the cap with respect to the neck, the projection is aligned with the trackway permitting the cap to be axially displaced with respect to the container to permit the container contents to be removed through the opening in the cap.
Claims25
A product dispenser comprising a bottle having an open neck, a cap rotatably supported by said neck, said cap having an opening therein, one of said neck and said cap including at least a first projection and the other of said neck and said cap including at least a first trackway, said cap being manually displaceable from a first closed position where said opening is covered by said neck to a second open position where said opening is uncovered when said first projection is aligned with said first trackway, said first projection riding in said first trackway as said cap is moved from its first to its second position, said first trackway being wishbone shaped and including an entrance track, an exit track and a branch track, said cap being manually displaceable from its first to its second position when said first projection is rotated to be aligned with said entrance track, said first projection riding into said entrance track as said cap is manually displaced from its first to its second position.
A product dispenser comprising a bottle having an open neck, a cap rotatably supported by said neck, said cap having an opening therein, one of said neck and said cap including at least a first projection and the other of said neck and said cap including at least a first trackway, said cap being manually displaceable from a first closed position where said opening is covered by said neck to a second open position where said opening is uncovered when said first projection is aligned with said first trackway, said first projection riding in said first trackway as said cap is moved from its first to its second position, the one of said neck and said cap which includes said first trackway further including at least a second longitudinally extending trackway, the other of said neck and cap including at least a second projection which is aligned with said second trackway when said first projection is aligned with said first trackway, said second projection traveling in said second trackway when said cap is moved from its first to its second position, said first trackway including a dimension which is different than a dimension of said second trackway so that said first projection fits only in said first trackway.
