Abstract
A three piece safety dispensing package for granular or pellet material. A cap is rotatably attached to a container. The cap has dispensing windows that are aligned with openings in the container to a desired degree to control the dispensing rate. The cap can have child resistant locking tabs which engage recesses on the container to maintain the cap locked in a closed position with the cap dispensing windows out of registration with the container openings; opening requires squeezing of the cap to permit rotation to the dispensing position. A tamper indicating tab can be used to prevent rotation until the tab has been broken. The container is filled with product through its open bottom after child resistant lock or tamper indicating tab has been preset as the cap is affixed to the container. The package is finally sealed by introducing a snap-in plug bottom into the open container bottom.
