A child-resistant dropper closure container combination comprising a container having a finish at its discharge end including a plurality of locking fingers spaced apart to define a series of circumferentially spaced channels and having keeper slots, a cap having an annular top and a depending skirt and a plurality of locking lugs circumferentially spaced on the interior of the skirt and a dropper assembly mounted in the cap including a flexible biasing flange engageable with the container finish and the interior of the cap to normally bias the cap in a direction to retain it in a locked position wherein the lugs engage in the keeper slots and permitting axial and rotational movement of the cap relative to the container to align the locking lugs with the channels for removal purposes.
A bottle having a container and a specially formed neck having a flange with downwardly sloping portion and which is spaced from the container to create a recess between the flange and the container. The bottle cap has an inner shell and an outer shell. A sealing surface moves longitudinally within the inner shell. The outer shell is preferably flexible and has prongs facing inwardly to move outwardly when the outer shell is compressed by a person's fingers. Other embodiments lack a separate inner shell and employ different operation of the prongs to retain the cap. In one case, rotation of the cap brings these prongs beneath a set of blind slots which engage the prongs and restrain their upward motion. Another embodiment allows the prongs to pass through slots to engage the underside of the flange. Further embodiments have a pressure release buttons built into the cap and a protective cap placed over the outer cap.
A medication container has a tubular container body with an open upper end, and a cap detachably securable to the upper edge of the container body by clockwise rotation relative thereto, the cap and the container body having mutually engageable stops preventing anti-clockwise opening rotation of the cap relative to the container body when the cap is in an upper position relative to the container body. A cap liner of resilient material within the cap has a peripheral portion engageable with the upper end of the container body to close the upper end, the cap liner also having a central button portion in a central aperture in the cap for manual engagement by a person wishing to open the container. The cap is normally engaged by the cap liner, when the cap is detachably secured to the container body, to maintain the cap in the upper position relative to the container body, whereby downward manual pressure on the central button portion of the cap liner causes resilient deformation of the cap liner away from the cap to permit the cap to be depressed from its upper position and thereby permit counter-clockwise opening rotation of the cap relative to the container body.
