Child-resistant dispensing closure.

摘要

A child-resistant dispensing closure fabricated from resilient material has an inverted cup-shaped body and an axially protruding nozzle (31). A saucer-shaped lid (23) for closing the nozzle is connected to the body by a flexible hinge which is unitary with the body and the lid and which is located at one edge of the body. Cooperating means (42) for retaining the lid in closed position overlying the body and the nozzle comprise catch means being located diametrically opposite the hinge. The lid has a maximum diameter no greater than the diameter of the top of the body. The catch means may be at least partially disengaged by moving the lid laterally relative to the body so that a portion of the lid protrudes radially beyond the top of the body. By grasping the protruding portion of the lid, the lid then may be swung angularly away from closing position.
