Abstract
A closure having a child resistant mode and a non-child resistant mode includes a circumferential side wall and a divider wall for forming a first section cavity and a second section cavity. The divider is disposed between the first section and the second section for closing an opening of the container when the closure is installed on the container in the non-child resistant mode and the child resistant mode. In certain embodiments, a first liner is disposed in the first section such that the first liner is visible when the closure is installed on the container in the child resistant mode and a second liner is disposed in the second section such that the second liner is visible when the closure is installed on the container in the non-child resistant mode.
Claims18
A closure comprising:
- a circumferential side wall;
- and
- a divider wall transverse the circumferential side wall for closing an opening of a container when the closure is installed on the container in a non-child resistant configuration and a child resistant configuration and for forming a first section cavity and a second section cavity, the first section cavity including a non-child resistant engaging mechanism configured to contact and interact with the container when the closure is installed in the non-child resistant configuration and the second section cavity including a child resistant engaging mechanism including a threaded closure engaging structure disposed on an interior surface of the circumferential side wall configured to contact and interact with a corresponding container engaging structure on the container and a closure locking mechanism configured to contact and interact with a corresponding container locking mechanism for restricting rotational movement of the closure with respect to the container when the closure is installed in the child resistant configuration.
A closure comprising:
- a first section having a first circumferential side wall and a non-child resistant engaging mechanism including a threaded closure engaging structure disposed on the first circumferential side wall configured to contact and interact with a corresponding threaded container engaging structure of a container when the closure is installed in a non-child resistant configuration;
- a second section having a second circumferential side wall and a child resistant engaging mechanism including a threaded closure engaging structure disposed on the second circumferential side wall configured to contact and interact with a corresponding container engaging structure on the container and a closure locking mechanism configured to contact and interact with a corresponding container locking mechanism for restricting rotational movement of the closure with respect to the container when the closure is installed in a child resistant configuration;
- and
- a divider wall disposed between the first circumferential side wall and the second circumferential side wall for closing an opening of the container when the closure is installed on the container in the non-child resistant configuration and the child resistant configuration and for forming a first section cavity in the first section and a second section cavity in the second section, the first section cavity including the non-child resistant engaging mechanism and the second section cavity including the child resistant engaging mechanism.
