A child-resistant dispensing closure consisting of a one-piece molding of resilient material that comprises an inverted cup-shaped cap having a central dispensing opening and a saucer shaped lid that is integrally hinged to the cap at one edge thereof for movement to and from an inverted, closing position closely overlying the cap. The lid has an element which closes the dispensing opening and engages in telescoping relationship therewith. The cap and lid have overlapping catch means for retaining the lid in closing position. The hinge is double acting and provides not only for angular movement to and from the closing position but also for lateral movement of the lid relative to the cap against the resilience of the engaged element and opening for disengaging the catch means. In a preferred embodiment, the dispensing opening is in the upper end of a nozzle which is an integral part of the cap and the closing element is on the underside of the lid, so that it engages the upper end of the nozzle and closes the nozzle opening.

A child-resistant dispensing closure for a container, said closure and said container having means for retaining said closure on said container, said closure consisting of (a) a cup-shaped body consisting of an annular skirt and a generally disc-shaped top, (b) means providing a central dispensing opening in said top, (c) a generally saucer-shaped lid having means on its underside that is adapted to close said dispensing opening when said lid is in closing position closely overlying said top, said lid being of such size and shape that no part of said lid over-hangs said top of said body in such position, (d) a flexible hinge web connecting said lid to said body at adjacent edges thereof, said web having a length sufficient to provide for (1) angular movement of said lid relative to said body from such closing position with said closing means closing said opening providing means and (2) lateral translatory movement relative to said body from such closing position a distance sufficient that the lower edge of said lid over-hangs the edge of said top of said body, and (e) co-operating child-resistant catch means on said lid and said body consisting of horizontal lips on said body and on said lid which are engaged when said lid is in such closing position overlying said body and which are disengagable by engaging the over-hanging edge of said lid after moving said lid from such closing position laterally relative to said body.
