Claim 0:
1. A container with child resistant means, which container comprises:
(i) a body portion for receiving a product;
(ii) a top for opening and closing the body portion;
(iii) locking means for locking the top to the body portion; and
(iv) opening means for unlocking the locking means and enabling the top to be moved to open the body portion,
and the container being such that:
(v) the locking means is a push-operated locking means which operates by pushing the top onto the body portion;
(vi) the opening means is a squeeze-operated opening means which operates by simultaneously squeezing the top at two opposed locations only;
(vii) the body portion has a peripheral bead which forms part of the locking means and which prevents the container being opened by squeezing the top other than at the two opposed locations;
(viii) the top has a sidewall which extends over the body portion and covers the peripheral bead of the body portion except at the two opposed locations, whereby the peripheral bead prevents the sidewall moving inwardly when the sidewall is squeezed and thus prevents the container being opened by squeezing unless the squeezing is at the two opposed locations; and
(ix) the push-operated locking means and the squeeze-operated opening means enable the body portion to be closable and openable using only one hand on the top and without having to rotate the top relative to the body portion.
