CONTAINER ASSEMBLY WITH ONE-PIECE CHILD RESISTANT CLOSURE

摘要

A container and child-resistant closure assembly includes a cap formed from a single piece, a cup shaped inner member having a top wall, an outer wall, and a depending sidewall. The sidewall includes a threaded interior surface. The outside wall of the inner member includes connection members for securing to an outer member. The outer member has a ring-shape with a plurality of inwardly facing lugs. Each of the plurality of inwardly facing lugs is cylindrically-shaped and protrudes radially inwardly from the outer member. The container assembly also includes a container including a neck forming an opening. The neck has a threaded exterior surface and a plurality of ramps. Each of the plurality of ramps faces radially outwardly from the neck and has a gently sloping face and a steeply sloping face.

主权项

1. A container assembly comprising:
a cap including an inner member with a top wall and a downwardly depending sidewall having an inner surface and outer surface, the inner surface having cap threads extending therefrom, the cap further including an outer member having a ring-shape with a plurality of inwardly facing lugs, the cap further including connection members extending between the outer member and the outer surface, the connection members configured to permit the outer member to deflect substantially vertically relative to the inner member; and a container including a neck and a body, the neck forming an opening of the container, the neck having container threads on an exterior surface, a plurality of ramps protruding outwardly from the exterior surface, each of the plurality of ramps having a gently sloping face and a steeply sloping face relative to a ramp plane extending through the plurality of ramps, the plurality of ramps and the plurality of lugs configured such that the cap is securable to the container by advancing the cap threads onto the container threads until the plurality of lugs slide along the gently sloping faces of the ramps and then upwardly along the steeply sloping faces, thereby locking the cap onto the container in a locked position.
