ABSTRACT:
There is provided, in conjunction with a container fitted with a toggle-acting dispensing closure cap, a cap-surmounting secondary control cap to render the container "child-resistant". The control cap is sleeved over and is coaxial with and rotatable about the closure cap. Bridging a generally-cylindrical skirt-like wall of the control cap is a partial, sector-like top wall which covers only a portion of the closure cap including the toggle-like actuator used to open and to close a dispensing port of the container. The partial top wall, which is provided with a restricted through opening, prevents one from impressing effective opening forces on a "press-to-open" section of the actuator. Opening forces can be applied to the actuator only by a probe acting through the restricted opening in the top wall sector of the control cap, and then only when that wall sector overlies the press-to-open section of the actuator.
