  • Opening and Closing Devices (Packaging)
DEF

Child-resistant closures ... [that] use interrelated components formed into the cap which must be oriented before the cap can be removed.

OBS

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.
