Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to child-resistant closures, and more particularly to child-resistant closures with caps that engage a neck of an associated container by radial contact.
  • the preferred cap is a two-piece cap with an inner cap and an outer cap, wherein the outer cap is urged downwardly relative to the inner cap to permit rotational removal of the cap from the container and the cap does not permit rotational removal unless downward pressure is applied to the outer cap onto the inner cap to engage tabs of the outer cap with lugs of the inner cap.
  • Prior art two- part caps permitted the outer cap to float or rest at differing vertical positions relative to the inner cap, which makes automated inspection of such caps difficult. For example, US Patent No.
  • 6,206,216 describes such a two-part cap, wherein lugs of the outer cap may rest on, between or some combination of on and between ramps of the inner cap, thereby resulting in multiple vertical positions and orientations of the outer cap relative to the inner cap.
  • lugs of the outer cap may rest on, between or some combination of on and between ramps of the inner cap, thereby resulting in multiple vertical positions and orientations of the outer cap relative to the inner cap.
  • These prior art two-part caps with variable vertical positioning and orientation of the outer cap relative to the inner cap results in inaccurate visual inspection by mechanisms designed to detect whether the inner cap is properly assembled to the outer cap.
  • the two-part cap and container combination of the present invention offers advantages over the prior art two-part caps by enabling improved inspection and a simplified design in comparison to the prior art two-part cap and container assemblies.
  • Child-resistant closures are important for the safety of children.
  • use of the term "child-resistant closure” is consistent with 16 C.F.R. ⁇ 1700 and refers generally to the inability of a younger child's strength or manual dexterity to open a closure eighty-five percent (85%) of the time within a given amount of time without a demonstration of how to open the closure, or eighty percent (80%) of the time with such a demonstration.
  • the present invention provides a child-resistant, multiple-piece cap which has substantially radial contact between the caps.
  • removal of the cap requires simultaneously rotating the cap and pushing downward to engage various protrusions on the caps.
  • Fastening of the cap requires only rotating the cap in the opposite direction, with no corresponding second force required.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une capsule à l'épreuve des enfants comprenant une capsule intérieure dotée de pattes inclinées et une capsule extérieure dotée de pattes de verrouillage, les pattes inférieures ayant une forme globalement rectangulaire. La capsule extérieure comporte au moins une languette flexible conçue de sorte que la languette flexible amène la capsule extérieure à reposer dans une configuration relâchée sauf dans le cadre de l'application d'une force vers le bas par un utilisateur. Dans la configuration relâchée, la forme inclinée des pattes supérieures ne permet une prise des pattes flexibles de la capsule extérieure avec les pattes que lors de la rotation de la capsule dans un sens de fermeture. Lors de l'application d'une force vers le bas, les pattes de la capsule intérieure viennent en prise avec les languettes flexibles lors de la rotation de la capsule dans le sens d'ouverture. Les languettes flexibles sont en prise avec la forme rectangulaire des pattes supérieures de la capsule intérieure dans le sens de fermeture, qu'une force vers le bas soit ou non appliquée à la capsule extérieure.
