Abstract:
A child resistant closure apparatus comprising:a container having an interior volume, an opening in the container providing access to the container interior volume through the opening, and a cylindrical neck on the container extending around the container opening, the neck having a center axis that defines mutually perpendicular axial and radial directions relative to the container; a cap mounted on the container neck for rotation of the cap about the container neck axis, the cap having a lug that projects outwardly from a surface of the cap; and a clasp on the container adjacent the container neck and the cap, the clasp being resiliently movable along the radial direction between a first position of the clasp relative to the container and a second position of the clasp relative to the container where the clasp engages with the cap lug in the first position of the clasp preventing the cap from rotating on the container neck and the clasp is displaced from the cap lug in the second position of the clasp where the clasp does not prevent rotation of the cap on the container neck.
