<p>An improved container and safety stopper combination of the type which includes a container (10), a stopper (12) hingedly connected to the lip (16) of the container, and a pin (26) slidably mounted in a slide channel (24) formed in the stopper and having an enlarged outer portion (40) adapted to engage a recess (28) in the lip (16) of the container to lock the stopper in its closed position. Means are provided to prevent the pin (26) from sliding outwardly or inwardly unless manually pulled or pushed respectively. When the stopper (12) is closed and the pin (26) is fully inserted, the upper side of the enlarged outer portion (40) of the pin is spaced from the stopper the minimum distance sufficient to allow the fingernail of an adult user to fit within a laterally extending groove (42) in the enlarged outer portion (40) so that the pin (26) can be pulled outwardly. Also disclosed is a safety cap including a stopper seat (70) which can be permanently attached to the lip of a container for liquids, a stopper (72) hingedly connected to the stopper seat, and a pin (74) slidably mounted in a channel (102) formed in the stopper. When the stopper is closed, a plug (96) extending from the stopper seals the passage (86) extending through a spout (80) which projects upwardly from the stopper seat. Thereafter, when the pin (74) is fully inserted, a flange (84) on the spout engages the pin and prevents the stopper from being swung to its open position.</p> |
