Abstract
A container for pharmaceutical preparations such as tablets, capsules and the like is provided with a safety closure that is difficult for children to open yet is easily opened by adults. The safety closure includes a slide, guides and a slide detent. The container may have a base and a hingedly attached lid with the guides provided on both the lid and the base. To releasably maintain the lid in a closed position, the slide is carried by one of the guides and selectively engages another guide. The slide detent may include a finger which retains the slide closure in engagement with the guides until the finger is depressed. A latch may be provided to releasably maintain the lid in the closed position when the slide does not engage the guides. The slide both conceals and prevents operation of the latch. By maintaining symmetry in the safety closure region of the container, operation of the detent is further concealed from discovery by children.
