A child-resistant package includes a housing (32) having an internal volume (38) for holding items to be dispensed, a cylindrical neck (58), an end wall (60) on the neck and a dispensing opening (62) in the end wall. A closure (74) has an end wall (76) with a dispensing opening (90) and a skirt (78). One of the skirt and the neck, preferably the neck, has a channel (82) and the other of the skirt and the neck, preferably the skirt, has a bead (80) for receipt in the channel such that the closure is rotatable on the neck for selectively aligning the dispensing openings to dispense items from within the housing. A child resistance mechanism (84, 86) between the closure and the neck resists rotation of the closure on the neck. The end wall of the closure preferably includes a dosage window (97), and a disk (92) preferably is disposed between the closure and the end wall of the neck having dosage indicia viewable through the dosage window. A ratchet drive (68, 98, 100, 107) preferably is disposed among the closure, the housing and the disk for indexing the disk upon each rotation of the closure on the neck to align the dispensing openings, but to resist rotation of the disk upon rotation of the closure in the opposite direction. |
