A child-resistant dispensing closure fabricated from resilient material which has an inverted cup-shaped body, an axially protruding nozzle and a saucer-shaped lid for closing the nozzle. The lid is connected to the body by a flexible hinge which is unitary with the body and the lid and which is located at one edge of the body. There are cooperating means for retaining the lid in closed position overlying the body and the nozzle, the catch means being located diametrically opposite the hinge. The lid has a maximum diameter no greater than the diameter of the top of the body. The catch means may be at least partially disengaged by moving the lid laterally relative to the body in a direction transverse to the diameter extending between the hinge and the catch means which also protrudes a portion of the lid radially beyond the top of the body. By grasping the protruding portion of the lid, the lid then may be swung angularly away from closing position.

A child resistant dispensing closure for a container fabricated of flexible material, said closure comprising: a cup shaped body member adapted for attachment to a container, said body member having a top surface bounded by a circumferential edge, a lid member overlying said body member, a nozzle formed integrally with said body member and forming a dispensing orifice, a cover for closing the orifice in said nozzle being formed on said lid member, a flexible hinged web connecting said lid member to said body member and providing for angular swinging movement of said lid member relative to said body member from a closed position in which said cover is engaged with said nozzle and a lower surface of said lid member engages the top surface of said body member with no portion of said lid member extending beyond said circumferential edge of said body member, said web also providing for lateral translatory movement in a direction transverse to the direction of said angular movement from said closed position relative to said body member to an opening position wherein an edge of said lid member extends beyond the circumferential edge of said body member while said nozzle and cover remain engaged in closed position, said nozzle being connected to said body member by flexible portions to thereby resiliently urge said lid in a return direction from said opening position to said closed position, and cooperating catch means on said body and lid members engaged when said lid member is in a closed position and being partially disengageable upon said lateral movement of said lid member from said closed position to said opening position, whereby said edge of said member affords a grip for disengaging said catch means and swinging said lid member to a fully open position.
