The "combination-lock" caps use interrelated components formed into the cap which must be oriented before the cap can be removed. A common low cost variety of this closure is the one-piece "line-up, snap-off cap" ... A slight interruption of the thread on the container serves as an engagement point for these caps. A protrusion on the cap fits under the single thread. When the cap is turned it becomes "locked" onto the container. 1, record 1, English, - child%2Dresistant%20%5C%22snap%2Doff%5C%22%20closure
