In this way, a child lock is designed however, the tamper-evidentness is ensured by the indicator plate is guaranteed.
  • the advantages of the invention are easy handling and improved tamper-evident closure.
  • the 1 shows a first embodiment according to the invention shown with the closure closed.
  • a push-in part 3 that connects flush to the cap 2.
  • the impressionable Part 3 has a projection 4, and on the closure body 1 there is a recess 5 into which the Projection 4 can be snapped into place when part 3 is pressed in.
  • the indentable part 3 is part of the wall of the body 1 and is preferably thinned over and textured or colored on the outside to make it lighter and to ensure localized impressions. Furthermore is the part 3 preferably elastic.
  • Fig. 2 shows the part 3 in the pressed state.
  • the thinned part 3 radially moved inward until it protrudes 4 into the recess 5 clicks into place.
  • Cover 2 light e.g. lift up by finger pressure and open the lock.
  • the recessed grip after the first actuation of the lock permanently trained and no longer detachable.
