ABSTRACT:
A vial or other container includes a hinged closure member having a latch for securing the closure member in a closed position. The latch includes a "child resistant" configuration wherein it is very difficult for adolescents to open the container and an "easy open" configuration wherein it is relatively simple for persons with limited manual dexterity to open the closure member. The latch includes a bipositional tongue hingedly attached to either the container or closure member. The tongue is hinged to allow for the various configurations and, when in the child proof configuration, substantially requires use of both hands and a substantial amount of dexterity in order to open the closure member. Various devices are further provided to protect the tongue from manipulation by adolescents and for indicating previous tampering with the container. The closure member is connected by a hinge to the container. The hinge includes a bar attached to either the container or the closure member and a semi-circular sleeve which rotates about the bar and that is attached to the opposite of the container or the closure member.
