A closure includes a body that is adapted to mate with a container, a flip-top cap coupled to the body, and a hinge interconnecting the body and the flip-top cap. The body is configured to be mounted onto container to cover a discharge outlet formed in the container. The flip-top cap is configured to protect a product-dispensing spout formed on the body and block a child, for example, from accessing the product dispensing spout and removing contents from the container.

A container with a security lock is provided. The container may have a lid (or “top”) portion and a bottom portion. The lid portion may have an exterior cover, a first disc, a second disc and a third disc. The first disc may have a plurality of indented downward partial trapezoids. The second disc may also have a plurality of nearly identical, upwardly extending partial trapezoids wherein the plurality of indented partial trapezoids of the first disc may be temporarily and selectively located between the plurality of partial trapezoids of the second disc in order to allow the lid to be rotated and the container therein opened. The third disc may be made of a thin material that allows the container to remain substantially airtight.

Disclosed is a process for manufacturing a safety closure, wherein in a first step, a monolithic injection-molded part is made having, one behind the other in the direction of a longitudinal axis (L), a rotary closure with a closure cap, a plurality of break-off points and an actuation piece, and in a second step, a force acting in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) is applied to the injection-molded part such that the closure cap and the actuation piece move against each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) and the closure cap slides at least partially into the actuation piece, the actuation piece being elastically deformed by the first engagement piece during the sliding-in movement so as to take an oval shape and then regaining its original shape once the sliding-in movement has been completed.

A child-resistant cap for containers is provided. The child-resistant cap includes an outer cap and an inner cap. The outer cap is configured with a knurled side wall and includes a plurality of inner projections and a plurality of involute teeth projected on an inner top surface. The inner cap is configured to fit into the outer cap and includes an inner side wall which includes a plurality of ribs positioned on the outer side. The space between the adjacent ribs of the plurality of ribs includes an inclined structure and a plurality of undercuts. An outer top surface of the inner cap includes a plurality of projections with a wedge-shaped structure which is configured to mesh with the plurality of involute teeth. The wedge-shaped structure includes a chamfered edge. A bottom surface of the inner cap is configured as a tapered surface.

A child-resistant bottle cap overshell and method for construction thereof is provided. A top cover has an oval shape. A body extends from an outer perimeter of the top cover and is sized to fit over a bottle cap on a bottle. At least two cutouts are formed in the top cover adjacent to the outer perimeter. A plurality of ridges are formed on an inner surface of the body on a bottom end opposite the top cover.

Various embodiments of child-resistant containers are described which have a release that requires two portions to be simultaneously depressed in order to release the latches and allow the container to be opened. The release may be formed of two pieces coupled to each other and the housing by a fastener, where one of the pieces acts as a spring to bias the release or its actuators in a first position.

A unit for mixing and dispensing an aerosol precursor composition, and containers to be dispensed therefrom. The unit includes a plurality of bulk material filling stations, the plurality of bulk material filling stations have at least one first filling station with aerosol former and at least one second filling station with a flavor material for creating the aerosol precursor. The unit also includes a bulk consumable pack staging a plurality of containers configured to receive the aerosol precursor, and a robot configured to retrieve a container from the bulk consumable pack and move the container through at least two dimensions to stop at at least two of the plurality of bulk material filling stations.
