Abstract
A safety closure for an aerosol can including an externally screw threaded sleeve and a safety cap having internal threads to engage the threads on the sleeve. The sleeve may have a slit extending along one side thereof and an inwardly extending flange at its lower end. The flange is engageable below an upper peripheral rim of the aerosol can. The sleeve may include a disc which is positioned above the nozzle of the aerosol can and closes the opening of the sleeve. The sleeve is removed by flexing it until the flange is out of engagement with the peripheral rim of the aerosol can. Standard safety cap devices can be used with the invention sleeve.
