Abstract
A child resistant reminder closure comprising an outer closure member having a base wall and a peripheral skirt, an inner closure member having a base wall and a peripheral skirt with a bead on the outer closure member retaining the inner closure member for limited axial outward movement relative to the outer closure member. An indicator or a day disk is provided on the outer surface of the inner closure member and is rotatable relative to the outer and inner closure members. A first set of flexible radial ratcheting fingers extend radially from the indicator disk and engage radial lugs on the undersurface of the base wall of the outer closure member. A second set of flexible radial ratcheting fingers extend radially from the indicator disk and engage circumferentially spaced lugs on the upper surface of the inner closure member. Axially interengageable lugs are provided on the outer closure member and the inner closure member which are interengaged to remove the closure or to apply the closure to a container thereby providing a child resistant function. A window in the outer closure member is associated with indicia on the day disk to indicate the circumferential position of the outer closure member relative to the day disk.
