Abstract:
1. A dispensing closure comprising: a dispensing closure having at least one dispensing aperture defined by a top wall of said closure, said closure threadably engagable with a container, said container having a container neck defining an opening surrounded by a rim, a pair of opposing stop locks projecting from said container neck and positioned at about 180° from each other; said closure having a deformable outermost skirt depending from said top wall, said outermost skirt having an interior surface and an exterior surface; at least two rotational stop lugs spaced about said interior surface of said outermost skirt at about 180° from each other, and at least two child resistant lugs projecting from said interior surface of said outermost skirt and spaced about said interior surface of said outermost skirt at about 90° from each of said rotational stop lugs; each of said stop lugs positioned at a first radial distance and each of said child resistant lugs positioned at a second radial distance, wherein said first radial distance is substantially the same as said second radial distance; each of said rotational stop lugs positioned proximate a lower edge of said outermost skirt and each of said child resistant lugs are offset at a distance away from said lower edge of said outermost skirt said at least two child resistant lugs operably engaging said stop locks of said container neck upon initial counterclockwise rotation of said closure on said container and wherein inward pressure adjacent each of said rotational stop lugs causes said outermost skirt to deflect allowing each of said child resistant lugs to override said stop locks and, each of said rotational stop lugs operably engage said stop locks of said container to prevent continued counterclockwise rotation of said closure on said container and further inhibits removal of said closure from said container since each of said rotational stop lugs do not release contact with said stop locks when inward pressure is applied to said outermost skirt adjacent each of said child resistant lugs; and said dispensing closure is non-removable.
