Abstract:
1. A lift-top closure for removably seating on a rim of a container to form a child-resistant container, the closure comprising: A. a lift-top cap comprising a web, a depending skirt, and a cap abutment on the skirt, the cap being adapted to at least substantially cover and engage a rim of a container when in a closed position and provide access to an internal cavity in the container when in an open position; and B. an overlay comprising a radially flexible tab having a rest position and a radially inwardly deflected working position, the tab being positionable substantially radially outside the cap abutment, the tab including a tab abutment normally disengaged from the cap abutment when the tab is in its rest position and engaged beneath the cap abutment for lifting the cap abutment when the tab is deflected to its working position, the overlay further comprising a force-receiving element for transmitting a manual lifting force to the overlay; at least a portion of the cap being pivotably displaced with at least a portion of the overlay from the closed position to the open position by deflecting the tab to engage the cap abutment with the tab abutment while lifting the force-receiving element to raise the cap abutment to its lifted position.
