Abstract

A childproof closure for containers is particularly suited for use by arthritic or manually handicapped adults which retains child resistant qualities. This is accomplished by a thumb-engageable projection extending from the upper surface of the end wall of the closure at that portion of the circumferential periphery adjacent the opening index mark.
