Abstract

A child resistant reminder closure comprising an outer closure member having a base wall and a peripheral skirt, an inner closure member having a base wall and a peripheral skirt with a bead on the outer closure member retaining the inner closure member against limited axial outward movement relative to the outer closure member. An assembly of a day disk and an indexing disk is provided in the outer closure member and is rotatable relative thereto. A first set of flexible radial ratcheting fingers extend radially from the day disk and engage radial lugs on the undersurface of the base wall of the outer closure member. A second set of flexible radial ratcheting fingers extend radially from the day disk and engage circumferentially spaced lugs on the upper surface of the indexing disk. Axially interengageable lugs and recesses are provided an the outer closure member and the indexing disk and interengaging lugs and recesses are provided between the indexing disk and the inner closure member which are interengaged to remove the closure or to apply the closure to a container thereby providing a child resistant feature. A window is provided on the outer closure member and is associated with indicia on the day disk to indicate the circumferential position of the outer closure member relative to the day disk.
