Abstract (en)

A safety closure (10) for a container is provided. The closure comprises an inner cap (15) having engagement means (18) for engaging a container; and a force transmission member (23) operable to provide friction against an exterior surface of the inner cap upon application of an inwardly directed force. In use the force transmission member provides sufficient friction to disengage the inner cap engagement means and to enable indirect removal thereof from a container.
