A child-resistant container including in combination a container and a threadedly engaged closure means. The interior of the closure means is provided with compressible sealing means for fluid-tight sealing of the container. The neck of the container is provided with outwardly radial projections and the skirt of the closure is provided with inwardly radial grooves to engage said projections and provide a child resistance means. The closure means has an indicating marker and the marker is visually aligned with a visible feature of the container when the container is both sealed and in the child-resistant mode.

A combination including a container and a removable rotatable closure means therefore that resists being unsealed and opened from a child-resistant position, said position being visually indicated during assembly of said combination, said container having a tubular neck with an exterior helical thread, a plurality of outwardly radial projections on said neck at a level below said exterior thread, said neck having a top opening, said closure means having a disk-like crown and an integral cylindrical skirt depending therefrom, said skirt having an interior helical thread for functionally engaging said exterior thread, a compressible sealing material inside said crown that cooperates with said opening for fluid-tight sealing of said opening when said closure is threadedly tightly engaged thereon, said skirt having interior groove means located below said interior thread for functionally engaging said projections, said groove means defined by spaced-apart sidewalls extending radially inwardly from said skirt, said projections and said sidewalls being shaped to allow said groove means to engage and disengage said projections upon rotation of said closure means on said thread in either direction, a closure marker on the exterior of said closure means, said groove means requiring an enhanced torque force to enable said groove means to engage and disengage said projections, said combination adapted so that upon rotating said closure means in a closing direction said compressible material contacting said opening to effect a seal and upon further rotation in a closing direction said compressible material being compressed while said groove means engage said projections, said combination adapted so that upon said further rotation said closure marker comes into visual alignment with a visible feature on said container indicating that said combination is sealed and resists being unsealed.
