A type of child-resistant closure which is made under the form of a free-rotating soft-plastic overcap which engages an inner threaded cap or disengages a locking mechanism when sidewall pressure is applied.

Although the terms "closure" and "cap" may be seen as different terms when standing alone, we think they should be recognized as synonyms when properly qualified.
