Abstract

The invention relates to a closure having a screw cap and a container nozzle or a closure bottom part which can be connected to a container. By means of a specially constructed and aligned catch tab in the region of the end side of the outer cap surface and of a catch lug on the container nozzle or on the closure bottom part, a simple, operationally reliable and easily releasable child-resistant safeguard is provided.
