Patent ID: 8006852

Claim:
A one piece convertible closure for use with a container having at least one container stop device, at least one container closing device, a container opening edge defining a container opening, and a container axis; the one piece convertible closure comprising: a closure axis about which the closure is rotatable; an outer section including an outer circumferential side wall including a first inner surface, a first outer surface, and at least one closure stop device positioned on the inner surface; an inner section including a top and an inner circumferential side wall extending from the top, the inner circumferential side wall including a second inner surface and a second outer surface, the second inner surface having at least one closure closing device for engagement with the container closing device; at least one armature integrally formed between the inner section and the outer section and attaching the inner section to the outer section; and the inner section being coaxially positioned within the outer section and axially movable relative to the outer section between a child resistant position and a non-child resistant position to convert the closure from a child resistant mode to a non-child resistant mode, the armature being dimensioned to releaseably maintain the inner and outer sections in the child resistant position and to releaseably maintain the inner and outer sections in the non-child resistant position, the armature and outer section being bendable to allow and inhibit the relative axial movement of the sections to and from the child resistant position and the non-child resistant position in response to axial forces applied between the sections.
