Abstract
An adult container according to the present invention comprises a container body and a cup-shaped closure which is installed telescopically over the open end of the container body. An annular rib, a plurality of longitudinal ramps and an annular groove and retaining lip are provided on the adjacent walls of the container body and the closure to coact with one another as the closure is longitudinally urged from a closed position to an open position. A cylindrical plug seal extends from a top wall of the closure to engage the open end of the container body when the closure is in the closed position. The closure has a side wall aperture which is unblocked to form a dispensing orifice when the closure is in the open position. The closure wall aperture is formed by relieving or omitting a portion of the cylindrical side wall of the closure from a bottom edge of the aperture through the top wall, with side edges extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the closure.
