ABSTRACT:
An improved child resistant container and closure assembly allows for ease of use by an adult, while at the same time provides the desired increased child resistance. One or more locking elements mating with recesses formed in the container serve to secure the closure assembly to the container. The closure assembly is also provided with a cup portion that is adapted for comfortably receiving an adult hand. Differential manual pressure applied to the closure assembly flexes an internal annular web, which removes the locking elements from their respective recesses. This allows an adult to easily open the container, whereas a child cannot do so. In an alternate embodiment, the closure assembly is non-removable, and is adapted to permit flow-through of the material held within the container.
