Abstract
A two member child-resistant closure assembly including an outer shell and an inner resilient closure retained therein. In the child-resistant mode, the resilient inner closure spring biases the outer shell into locking engagement with lugs formed on a cooperating container. A handling ring is provided for removing the inner closure for use separately as a snap cap. For this purpose, the inner closure includes an annular plug, and a short annular skirt arranged to engage the container rim.
