Claim:
A child-resistant closure comprising a body including a top wall formed to include a product-dispensing spout, an interior mount rim appended to an underside of the top wall and adapted to mate with a discharge outlet formed on a container, and an outer wall appended to the top wall and arranged to extend downwardly away from the top wall and to cooperate with the top wall to form an interior region receiving the interior mount rim therein, a flip-top cap including a movable lid formed to include an interior chamber and a first retention lug coupled to the lid to move therewith, a hinge coupled to the body and to the lid to support the flip-top cap for movement relative to the body from a closed position on the body covering the product-dispensing spout to an opened position away from the body uncovering the product-dispensing spout, wherein exterior surfaces of the top and outer walls cooperate to define an outwardly opening recessed first alcove associated with the first retention lug, the body further includes an elastic web located in the first alcove and an upstanding first cap-retainer latch coupled to the elastic web for movement therewith during deformation of the elastic web, and the first cap-retainer latch is arranged to mate with the first retention lug in the interior chamber formed in the lid to retain the flip-top cap in the closed position on the body in response to movement of the flip-top cap to the closed position and to separate from the first retention lug in response to deformation of the elastic web relative to the top and outer walls of the body to allow movement of the flip-top cap away from the body toward the opened position, and wherein the elastic web includes a deformable top panel coupled to a section of a perimeter edge of the top wall and to the first cap-retainer latch.
