Patent ID: 7628283

Claim:
A tamper-indicating child-resistant package that includes: a container having a cylindrical finish with at least one external thread segment, a manually deflectable release element externally cantilevered from said finish, a tear band frangibly connected to said finish and having an upstanding locking lug generally diametrically opposite from said release element, and a closure having a skirt with at least one internal thread segment for mating engagement with said at least one external thread segment on said finish, a first lock element on said skirt for engagement with said manually deflectable release element and a second lock element on said skirt for engagement with said locking lug on said tear band, engagement between said second lock element and said locking lug on said tear band preventing unthreading of said closure from said finish until said tear band is frangibly removed from said finish, whereupon deflection of said manually deflectable release element releases said closure for unthreading from said finish.
