Abstract

A child-resistant bottle and screw-on cap combination that is relatively easy to open for elderly persons with limited dexterity. The cap has a construction that is particularly suited for use with extrusion blow-molded bottles. The cap and bottle locking structures afford reliable performance even when the bottle is formed of relatively soft, inexpensive thermoplastic material.
