Abstract
A child-resistant closure for a container includes outer and inner nested caps each having a top panel and a side skirt depending generally peripherally therefrom, said outer cap loosely generally encompassing said inner cap to allow relative rotary and axial movement there between. The outer and inner caps have corresponding drive formations which can be brought into driving engagement when the caps are moved axially towards one another to a first axial position. The external surface of the inner cap side skirt includes one or more axial ribs for allowing venting when the outer and inner caps are initially assembled together. The inner cap top panel is provided with a plurality of castellations, and each rib connects to an edge of a respective castellation.
