A safety closure providing a top wall, an outer skirt depending downwardly from an outer perimeter of the top wall, an inner skirt depending downwardly from the top wall, the inner skirt being disposed radially inwardly from the outer skirt, the inner skirt being coaxial with the outer skirt, a locking tab depending downwardly from a lower end of the outer skirt, a first thumb pad, and, a second thumb pad, the second thumb pad being opposed the first thumb pad about the locking tab, the first thumb pad being angularly offset from the locking tab by a first predetermined angle, the second thumb pad being angularly offset from the locking tab by the first predetermined angle, whereby applying a squeezing force between the first thumb pad and the second thumb pad moves the locking tab radially outwardly.

[ I claim:] [1.] A safety closure, comprising:a top wall;an outer skirt depending downwardly from an outer perimeter of said top wall;an inner skirt depending downwardly from said top wall, said inner skirt being spaced radially inwardly from said outer skirt, said inner skirt being coaxial with said outer skirt;a locking tab projecting from a lower end of said outer skirt; and,a first means for causing deformation of said outer skirt, said first deformation-causing means including first and second contact regions formed on said outer skirt, said first and second contact regions each being angularly opposed from one another about said locking tab, each of said first and second contact regions being angularly offset from said locking tab by a first predetermined acute angle, whereby applying a squeezing force between said first and second contact regions moves said locking tab radially outwardly.
