The nozzle cap of the dispenser is rotatably supported at the nozzle end of the dispenser body for rotation between ON and OFF positions. At least one locking member is integrally connected to the body to form a flexible connector which permits rocking movement of the locking member. The locking member extends laterally from one side of the body so as to be in full view when the dispenser is held in the hand of a user. The locking member fits within a recess formed in the nozzle cap to lock the nozzle cap against rotation when the nozzle cap is in OFF position. Inward pressure on the locking member releases it from the recess to permit rotation of the nozzle cap to ON position. The nozzle cap includes a discharge passage in communication with a discharge opening and may also include one or more additional passages which provide communication between a portion of the nozzle cap near the discharge opening and ambient air to prevent a child from sucking contents of the container through the discharge opening.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A fluid dispenser comprising in combination, a dispenser body having a pair of opposing side portions, a nozzle end, a nozzle cap rotatably supported at the nozzle end for rotation between ON and OFF positions of said nozzle cap, a child-resistant nozzle assembly comprising said nozzle cap having a recess formed therein, a movable lock member integrally connected with said dispenser body to form a flexible connector and extending laterally from one of the side portions of said body so as to be in full view when the dispenser is held in the hand of a user, said flexible connector being formed at an intermediate portion of the locking member between said opposite ends thereof, one of said ends being disposed within said recess to lock the cap against rotation from an OFF position and the other of said ends extending outwardly of said one side portion and rearwardly of the nozzle end of said body so that manual pressure applied to said other end moves said one end out of said recess to unlock the nozzle.
