Child proof closure

A closure comprising:

• an outer cap including a plurality of drive elements disposed proximate a top interior surface of the outer cap and at least two apertures extending through an exterior surface of the outer cap;
• an inner cap dimensioned and configured to be assembled within the outer cap, the inner cap including:
• a closure engaging mechanism disposed on an interior surface of the inner cap, the closure engaging mechanism dimensioned and configured to engage a corresponding container engaging mechanism for securing the inner cap to a container,
• a plurality of drive elements disposed proximate a top exterior surface of the inner cap operable to engage the plurality of drive elements of the outer cap when the outer cap is turned in a first direction to screw the assembled closure onto a container and permit removal of the assembled closure upon a push-down-and-turn action being applied to the outer cap in a second direction and
• at least two key receivers disposed proximate an exterior surface of the inner cap;
• and
• a key having at least two projections extending from a handle portion, the at least two projections dimensioned and configured to be inserted through the at least two apertures of the outer cap to engage the at least two key receivers of the inner cap when the at least two apertures of the outer cap are vertically aligned with the at least two key receivers of the inner cap and the key is rotated in at least the second direction for removing the assembled closure from the container.

A closure comprising:

• an outer cap including at least two spaced apart apertures disposed proximate a periphery of a top surface of the outer cap;
• an inner cap having a top surface and a circumferential sidewall disposed below the top surface, the inner cap dimensioned and configured to be assembled within the outer cap, the inner cap including:
• a closure engaging mechanism disposed on an interior surface of the inner cap, the closure engaging mechanism dimensioned and configured to engage a corresponding container engaging mechanism for securing the inner cap to a container, and
• at least two spaced apart receivers corresponding to the at least two spaced apart apertures of the outer cap, each of the at least two spaced apart receivers include a recess formed into the top surface adjacent the circumferential sidewall such that the at least two apertures of the outer cap are operable to be vertically aligned with the at least two spaced apart receivers of the inner cap;
• and
• a key having at least two spaced apart projections extending from a handle portion, the spaced apart projections dimensioned and configured to be inserted through the at least two spaced apart apertures of the outer cap to engage the at least two spaced apart receivers of the inner cap when the spaced apart apertures of the outer cap are vertically aligned with the spaced apart receivers of the inner cap for screwing and unscrewing the assembled closure from the container by turning the key.
