Abstract
A dispenser body supports a nozzle cap for rotation about a longitudinal axis thereof between ON and OFF positions. A nozzle cover surrounds the nozzle cap, is freely rotatable about the nozzle cap and is movable along the longitudinal axis relative to the nozzle cap, to render the same child resistant. Engaging portion on the nozzle cap and the nozzle cover are longitudinally spaced apart in a first longitudinal position to prevent rotation of the nozzle cap by rotating the nozzle cover, thereby preventing the nozzle cap from being rotated from one position to another. In a second longitudinal position of the nozzle cover relative to the nozzle cap, the engaging portions interengage to enable the nozzle cap to be rotated by the nozzle cover to enable the nozzle cap to be rotated from one position to another.
