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 14):
A child-resistant closure system comprising:\n a container having:\n a mouth defined by a finished edge, and \n a plurality of spaced-apart projections extending outward from an outer surface of the container, each projection defining an indentation; \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 concave portion disposed around the central portion, and a convex portion 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 communicating with the top panel, the first portion containing a plurality of spaced-apart circumferential liner retainers extending inward from an interior surface of closure skirt, and \n a second portion containing a plurality of spaced-apart circumferential lugs extending inward from the interior surface of the central portion, the lugs adapted to engage the indentations in the projections on the container; and \n \n a resilient deformable liner positioned between the container and the closure having:\n a first surface facing the top panel, \n a second surface facing the mouth of the container, and \n a peripheral edge extending past the mouth; \n wherein when the closure system is in a locked configuration, the lugs are engaged within the indentations in the projections on the container, the first surface contacts the deflection rib, and the peripheral edge no longer engages the liner retainers; and wherein the closure system transitions from the locked configuration to an unlocked configuration by moving the top panel toward finished edge for a transition distance, so that a) the deflection rib moves a central portion of the resilient deformable liner into the mouth of the container, b) the resilient deformable liner becomes more distant from the liner retainers, c) a portion of the resilient deformable liner contacts the concave and convex portions of the closure; and d) the lugs move from the indentations to the tapering passageways, for disengaging the closure from the container.
