Abstract
A child-resistant container including a bottle having an annular flange associated therewith, an intermediate member selectively engageable with the bottle and having an annular flange associated therewith, and an outer lid selectively engageable with both the intermediate member and the bottle, the outer lid including a plurality of lower projections for selectively engaging the annular flange of the intermediate member when the outer lid is engaged therewith and for selectively engaging the annular flange of the bottle when the intermediate member is removed from the bottle and the outer lid is engaged with the bottle. Removal of the intermediate member from the bottle allows the plurality of lower projections associated with the outer lid to engage the annular flange associated with the bottle thereby activating the child-resistant locking mechanism.
