Abstract (en)

A safety container comprising a screw cap (1) and a container body (8) wherein the container body has a neck (9), a mouth (10') at the end of the neck and a screw thread (11) around the outside of the neck below the mouth and wherein the cap has a relatively short inner skirt (3) with an internal screw-thread (4) to cooperate with the external screw-thread (11) on the neck of the container body and a relatively long outer skirt (5) concentrically surrounding the inner skirt, projections or lugs (6) on the inside of the outer skirt of the cap and projections or cams (12) on the outside of the container body below the screw-thread being provided for engagement with one another when the cap is screwed on to the container body to prevent removal of the cap until the outer skirt of the cap is squeezed at oppositely disposed positions (7) away from the points of engagement of the projections to deform the outer skirt so that the projections are disengaged to permit unscrewing of the cap.
