A child resistant package including a container having a base wall, side wall and opened end and a plurality of projections on the side wall having downwardly extending notches. A plastic closure has a base wall and a peripheral skirt and a plurality of lugs on the inner surface of the skirt for engaging the notches by relative rotation between the closure and the container. A plastic insert is interposed between the closure and the open end of the container and is normally retained by the closure before it is applied or reapplied to the container. The plastic insert has a central portion engaging the base wall of the closure, a peripheral portion engaging the open end of the container and an intermediate portion defining a spring between the central portion and the peripheral portion. Retaining beads on the closure retain the liner in position when the closure is removed. The liner may be sealed to the container as by induction sealing to seal the contents when the container is filled.

[ I claim:] [1.] A child resistant package that comprises:a container having a cylindrical sidewall with an open end and a plurality of spaced outer projections with notches opening axially and radially away from said open end,a plastic closure having a base wall, a peripheral skirt and a plurality of spaced inner lugs on said skirt seated in said notches,a flat liner disk in said closure overlying said open end of said container and having an outer diameter and a thickness, anda plastic insert in said closure interposed between said base wall and said liner disk, said insert having a central portion engaging said closure base wall and spaced from said liner disk, a flat peripheral portion that urges a peripheral portion of said flat liner disk into sealing engagement with said open end of said container, and a resilient intermediate portion spaced from said liner disk and interconnecting said central and peripheral portions of said insert,said insert peripheral portion having an axial wall with an inner diameter greater than said liner outer diameter and a bead extending radially inwardly from said axial wall at a position axially spaced by said axial wall from said flat peripheral portion of said liner by a distance greater than said liner thickness, said bead having an inner diameter less than said liner outer diameter such that said insert loosely captures said peripheral portion of said flat liner disk leaving said flat liner disk free to move between said bead and said insert peripheral portion,said insert having an outer diameter that is greater than an inner diameter of said inner lugs on said skirt to retain said insert and said liner within said closure when said closure is removed from said container,said insert functioning both to urge said peripheral portion of said liner disk against said open end to seal against said open end of said container, and to resist motion of said closure downwardly over said sidewall such that resiliency of said intermediate portion of said insert must be overcome to move said closure lugs downwardly out of said notches and then circumferentially to clear said projections to remove the closure, liner disk and insert as a unit from said container.
