ABSTRACT:
An improved security container and closure apparatus including a generally cylindrical container having a closing base portion at one end and an open mouth at the other end, a rib extending inwardly from the side of the mouth opening, and a neck portion surrounding the mouth and having an external wall provided with a circumscribing recess, and a resilient closure having a top portion and a surrounding, downwardly depending skirt portion, the skirt portion having an inwardly extending bead matingly engageable with the recess of the neck portion of the container. The top portion of the closure contacts the inwardly extending rib so that when downward pressure is applied to the top central portion of the closure, the rib acts as the fulcrum point of a lever to raise a segment of the skirt proximate the rib portion upwardly and out of plane such that a segment of the closure bead is caused to be forced out of the container recess thereby disengaging the mating relationship and leaving the closure resting loosely on top of the container after pressure is relieved.
