Abstract:
The invention relates to child-resistant closure systems including a container, closure, and a resilient deformable liner positioned therebetween. The container and closure include mechanisms for engaging each other when the closure system adopts a closed configuration. In the closed configuration, the liner adopts a moderately non-flat profile and covers a mouth of the container. The closure can include a deflection rib and a highly curved top panel; when a pushing movement of sufficient force is applied to the closure, the closure system transitions from the locked configuration to an unlocked configuration. At this time, the deflection rib deforms a central portion of the liner, and the highly curved portion of the top panel engages the mouth of the container; this action can cause an outer portion of the liner to contact the highly curved portion and transition to a highly curved profile mimicking the profile of the top panel.

Claim (Index 8):
A child-resistant closure system comprising:\n a container having:\n a mouth, the mouth surrounded by a finished edge, and \n a plurality of spaced-apart projections extending outward from an outer surface of the container, each projection having:\n an interior surface defining a notch within the projection, and \n an exterior surface defining a side of a tapering passageway, the tapering passageway connecting the notch to an exterior surface of the projection; \n \n a closure having a top panel and a skirt depending from a periphery of the top panel,\n the top panel including a central portion, a groove disposed around the central portion, and a ridge disposed around the concave portion, the central portion having an deflection rib extending inward from an interior surface of the central portion; \n the closure skirt having:\n a first portion containing:\n a plurality of spaced-apart liner retainers extending inward from an interior surface of closure skirt, and \n a plurality of stop ribs extending inward from the interior surface of the first portion, each stop rib for communicating with a corresponding projection when the closure system is in a locked configuration; \n \n a second portion containing a plurality of spaced-apart lugs extending inward from the interior surface of the central portion, the lugs adapted to engage the notches in the projections on the container; and \n \n a resilient deformable liner positioned between the container and the closure having, respectively:\n an first surface contacting the deflection rib, \n a second surface contacting the finished edge of the container, and \n a peripheral edge communicating with the interior surface of the closure skirt; \n wherein the closure system adopts the locked configuration, the lugs are engaged within the notches in the projections on the container, and the liner contacts the closure primarily at the deflection rib; and wherein when the closure system adopts an unlocked configuration by a pushing movement applied to the closure so that the peripheral edge and the ridge engage the resilient deformable liner therebetween, the pushing engagement causing: the deflection rib to deform a central portion of the deformable liner, the peripheral edge of the resilient deformable liner to become more distant from the liner retainers, and a portion of the liner to contact the raised and depressed portions of the closure; and the pushing movement allowing the lugs to disengage from the notches through the tapering passageways for separating the closure from the container.
