Abstract

A child resistant container which describes: (1) a bottle having a neck, the bottle also having a containment area to store tablets accessible through an opening in the neck; (2) a cap having a skirt, the skirt engageable with the neck; and (3) an access device for allowing attachment of the neck with the skirt of the cap, including: (i) a push button associated with the cap; (ii) an irregularity contained on the inside of the cap; and (iii) an alignment device on the neck, engaged with the irregularity on the cap. When the push button is pushed by the user, the irregularity enters the alignment device such that the cap may be translated parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bottle. The skirt and neck respectively engage one another, so that thereafter the cap may be removed from the bottle.
