ABSTRACT:
A safety closure device for a closeable container is provided which, at the user's option, can be operated in a child-resistant mode of operation or, by a simple one-time action by the user, can be placed in a non-child-resistant mode of operation. An outer cap rotatably and slidingly engages an inner cap that directly closes a container, with an intermediate element biasing the outer and inner caps apart from each other but formed so as to take up a first position in which an axially applied force by the user temporarily non-rotatably couples the inner and outer caps for child-resistant operation, and an axially applied force on the intermediate element coupled with a partial turning of the outer cap relative thereto causes permanent non-rotatable engagement between the outer and inner caps through the intermediate element to make the safety closure non-child-resistant.
