Abstract:
1. A child-resistant package that includes: a container having an open mouth, a conical external surface around said mouth that widens away from said mouth and a wall extending from said conical external surface, and a closure having a base wall, a peripheral skirt having a first portion adjacent to said base wall and a second portion removably connected to said first portion, an annular first wall extending from said base wall at a position radially inward from said skirt for spring and sealing engagement with said conical external surface, and a second wall extending from said base wall at a position radially inward from said first wall and at an outward conical angle to said base wall, said second portion of said skirt and said wall on said container having interlocking elements that resist removal of said closure from said container in a child-resistant mode of operation absent a force against said first wall to disengage said interlocking elements, said second portion of said skirt being frangibly removable from said first portion with said closure removed from said container, to remove said interlocking elements from said skirt so that said closure is securable to said container in a non-child-resistant mode of operation with said second wall received by snap-fit within said container mouth.
