Abstract
A child-resistant container includes a cap with an outer member moveable relative to the axis radially between a first position and a radially displaced position. The container also includes a container body with a neck that engages with an inner member of the cap. The container body has a projection that engages the outer member and limits rotational movement of the cap when the outer member is in the first position and the cap is contemporaneously twisted-off. The outer member bypasses the projection when the outer member is in the radially displaced position and the cap is contemporaneously twisted-off. The projection includes a receiving aperture that receives at least part of the outer member when the outer member is in the first position and the cap is contemporaneously twisted off.
