Abstract
The invention contemplates an essentially two-piece container, comprising a container-body member and a removable screw-cap closure member incorporating a child-resistant safety-locking feature in addition to providing threaded closure and sealing of the container member. The body member has ratchet-tooth formations integrally formed therewith, said formations coacting with ratchet-tooth formations on the inner surface of the closure member, when the closure member is threaded to the container member. The body-member tooth formations are covered by the closure-member skirt when in ratchet-locked position, but the body-member tooth formations are integral with a local resiliently compliant region of the body member whereby the ratchet-locked engagement may be released upon correctly localized inward squeezing of the compliant region.
