摘要 |
The present invention relates generally to safety closure devices for open-ended containers, and more particularly to closure devices designed to counteract unauthorized removal thereof, as for example the removal of a bottle cap by a child. The embodiment disclosed herein includes a first closure section for permanent attachment to the open end of a container and a second closure section or cap hingedly coupled and thus shiftable with respect to the first section. Said second section is adapted in one shifted position to cover, and in another position to uncover the first closure section. The second closure section is sufficiently flexible laterally so as to become distorted in shape when opposed pressures are manually applied to the cap periphery. Means is provided for detachably interlocking first and second sections, the functioning of said means being controllable as an incident to the flexing of the second section.
