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 over-lying 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. In the closing position, no part of the lid extends beyond the margin of the cap so there is nothing which a small child can grasp in order to swing the lid to gain access to the content material. 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 package for liquid materials, said package comprising, in combination, (a) a container having a threaded neck and a series of one-way ratchet teeth on said neck, (b) a closure for said container, said closure consisting of (1) a body comprising (a) an annular skirt having mating threads and cooperating ratchet teeth on its inner surface, (b) a dispensing nozzle, (c) flexible annular webs integrally connecting said nozzle to said skirt and closing said container neck except for said nozzle, (2) a saucer-shaped lid having (a) a flat top, (b) a nozzle cap on the under side of said top which is adapted to telescope over the end of said nozzle when said lid is in closing position overlying said nozzle, (3) a double-acting, flexible hinge web connected to said lid and to said body at adjacent edges thereof, said hinge web having a length sufficient for providing translatory movement of said lid relative to said body a distance sufficient for the edge of said lid to over-hang the edge of said body and also providing for movement of said lid angularly from a position atop said body, (4) catch means on said body and said lid which are adapted to engage for preventing such angular movement when said lid is in closing position, whereby said lid, first, must be moved laterally for protruding the edge of said lid beyond the edge of said body and, second, swung angularly on said hinge web for removing said nozzle cap from said nozzle.
