A closure construction of the present invention includes a container with male threading on the neck thereof with a pair of locking notches. The cap includes a pair of split arcuate walls with partial threading thereon, which provides, in cooperation with each other, a threaded connection between the cap and the male threading disposed thereby releasably securing the cap to the container. A pair of protrusions are connected to and emanate inwardly from the inner surface of the outer wall. The pair of protrusions are releasably respectively seated in the pair of locking notches when the cap is threaded past a predetermined point onto the neck of the container. When the cap is squeezed in a direction generally perpendicular to a line running through the protrusions, the protrusions lift out of their respective locking notches to permit the cap to be unthreaded from the container.

What is claimed is: 1. A closure construction, comprising:a container having a bottom closed end with a neck defining a top open end;male threading disposed on the neck and about the top open end;a pair of locking notches residing in the neck on opposing sides of the top open end;a cap removably connected to the neck of the container; the cap including an outer shell with top wall, an outer wall, having an inner surface, and an open bottom end;a pair of arcuate walls, each having a concave surface and connected to and downwardly depending from the top wall of the cap in spaced apart relation from each other defining a gap therebetween; partial threading disposed on each of the concave surfaces of the arcuate walls to, in cooperation with each other, provide a threaded connection between the cap and the male threading disposed on the neck of the container thereby releasably securing the cap to the container;a pair of protrusions connected to and emanating inwardly from the inner surface of the outer wall; the pair of protrusions residing along a line running through the gap between the pair of arcuate walls and being releasably respectively seated in the pair of locking notches when the cap is threaded past a predetermined point onto the neck of the container to threadably lock the cap to the container.
