  • the present invention seeks to address the problems with known squeeze-and-turn closures.
  • a child-resistant, squeeze-and-turn closure for a container, the closure comprising a body having a side skirt and locking means carried on or by the skirt for releasably locking the closure on to the container, in which the closure further comprises one or more regions of reduced stiffness in the vicinity of the locking means, and in which the side skirt comprises one or more ribs.
  • the side skirt may comprise a side wall with the or each rib carried on or by the wall.
  • the or each rib may be carried on the interior and/or exterior of the wall.
  • the ribs are created as part of a 'lightweighting' exercise in which material is removed.
  • the same lightweighting exercise could result in a skirt formed entirely from ribs with gaps therebetween.

  • a body which is entirely dome-shaped is contemplated, as is a frusto-conical body.

  • two diametrically opposed wedge-like lugs 40, 45 are internally positioned.
  • the lugs 40, 45 are circumferentially positioned between the pressing pads 31 , 32 on the side wall 30 so that the pads 31 , 32 and lugs 40, 45 are spaced by 90° from each other, in the same way as the points on a compass.
  • the shoulder 23 is provided with two portions of reduced thickness in the form of a pair of diametrically opposed interior grooves 50, 55.

  • the closure cannot be rotated relative to the container neck due to the abutment of the closure and container lugs.
  • the lugs 40, 45 In order for the closure. to be rotated the lugs 40, 45 must be moved radially outward with respect to the abutment lugs 75, 80. This is effected by squeezing the closure at the pressing pads 31 , 32.
  • the closure skirt 30 is flexible and the squeezing action causes it to ovalise as shown in Figure 9.
  • the lugs 40, 45 can now pass around the outside of the abutment lugs 75, 80 so that with a combined squeeze and turn movement the closure can be unscrewed.
  • the grooves 50, 55 provide a region of reduced stiffness in the vicinity of the locking lugs 40, 45 which in turn reduces the pressure required on the pads 31 , 32 in order to effect a sufficient deformation of the skirt 30 in those regions.
  • the grooves 50, 55 reduce the resistance of the skirt 30 to flexing in the region of the locking lugs.
  • the 'hinging' of the skirt relative to the top plate is therefore improved in these areas. Keeping the material thicker particularly in the region of the pressing pads is important for the transmission of force, hence simply a complete thinning of the entire closure would not produce the desired effect.

  • the windows 180, 185 serve a similar purpose to the internal grooves of the closure 10 because they provide portions of reduced stiffness in the region of the locking lugs.
  • ⁇ closure 210 formed according to an alternative embodiment.

  • the skirt 230 is shorter and the closure includes an intermediate annular wall 290 between the shoulder 223 and the top plate 220. This gives it a more elongate appearance.
  • the closure 210 does not comprise both an inner wall and a bore seal, but rather a single bore seal 260 which depends from the intersection of the shoulder 223 and the intermediate wall 290.
  • the seal 260 includes internal screw threads 236.
  • the shoulder region 223 of the closure 210 includes two diametrically opposed internal grooves 250, 255.
  • the thickness of the material adjacent the grooves 250, 255 is approximately 1 mm and the thickness of the material defining the base of the groove is approximately 0.2mm thick.
  • the closure operates in the same way as the closure 10 in that the pressing pads are- used to ovalise the skirt 230 which moves the locking lugs 240, 245 radially outwards.
  • the grooves 250, 255 promote this movement of the skirt.
  • the closure 310 comprises a top plate 320 and a side skirt 330.
