SHELLABLE CHILD RESISTANT CLOSURE CONTAINER WITH POSITIVE LOCK MECHANISM

摘要

A shellable, positively lockable, child resistant closure (100) and container (70) includes a pair of nested inner and outer caps (40, 10) designed to be purposefully shellable for use in its non-child resistant mode. The inner cap (40) is coaxially positioned and nested within the outer cap (10) such that a row of angular abutments (44) of the inner cap (40) engage a row of angular abutments (20) of the outer cap (10) upon rotation of the outer cap (10) in closing direction, and upon rotation of the outer cap (10) in an opening direction, without a concomitant axial force, the repective angular abutments cam over and past each other to prevent rotation of the inner cap (40). Additionally, the inner cap contains a positive locking device (50) for engagement with a complementary locking device (74) on the neck [80]of the container (70).
