9 Claims, 10 Drawing Figures PATENTE-D EB 974 sum 1 or z SAFETY CONTAINER AND CAP SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is common knowledge that young children can suffer injuries which are sometimes fatal because they are able to obtain access to injurious materials or substances, such as strong medicines by opening the containers in which these materials-are stored. An object of my invention is to prevent these injuries to young children by providing a container having a cap which it is substantially impossible for a young child to remove, due to its immature knowledge, but which can be removed easily by a more mature person who knows how to remove it.
Another object is to provide a tubular container and cap for the same which are formed of plastic or similar resilient material, the container and capbeing shaped and dimensioned so that the cap fits over the open end of the container and is locked in a closed position thereon so it can not be removed by a small child but is easily removable by a more mature person by bending weakened parts of the upper end of the container inwardly.
Another object is to provide a container and cap of flexible material in which the container has at least one annular cap engaging flange on its upper end and has at least three spaced apart, side by side, longitudinal, external grooves in its upper end portion, said grooves extending across the flange on the container and weakening a chosen area of the container wall along lines which will cause it to bend inwardly in a way best calculated to facilitate removal and application of the cap.
Other objects of the invention will be apparent from the following description and accompanying drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the embodiment of my invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 I provide a tubular container member 15 of generally cylindrical shape having a closed bottom end 16 and an open top end and formed of plastic or similar flexible or resilient material which can be flexed or bent inwardly by pressure of a thumb or finger and which will spring back to an original expanded condition when the pressure is released. The upper end portion of the container member. 15 is provided with cap engaging means in the form of an annular thickened part or flange 17 which is shaped so as to form a downwardly facing shoulder 18 and a generally conical outer wall 19. The wall 19 extends convergently from the shoulder 18 upwardly to the top end of the container member. A cap 20 having a marginal rim 21 within which is an annular bead 22 is adapted to fit over and lock onto the upper end portion of the container member. Preferably the cap 22 is formed of plactic or like flexible material. A second annular flange 23 is provided on the upper end portion of the container member 15 and is spaced a short distance below the flange 17. Both of the flanges 17 and 23 lendstiffness and strength to the upper end portion of the container member 15 and the lower flange 23 shields the lower edge of the cap rim 2l-from pressure which might tend to open or lift the cap when the cap is in closed position.
Three side by side grooves'24, 25 and 26 which are spaced a short distance apart, extend across the flanges 17 and 23 ina direction lengthwise ofthe container member 15. The grooves 24, 25 and 26 are hereinillustrated as being of a depth about equal to the thickness of the flanges 17 and 23 but obviously the depth of these grooves can be varied. The grooved area of the container wall can be bent inwardly, as illustrated in FIG. 4, by applying pressure to the exterior thereof at or near the location of the medial groove 25. When the grooved area is thus bent inwardly the change in shape and the reduction in size of the top end portion of the container member 15 will make possible fairly easy removal of the cap. By placing a thumb on the groovedv container member makes it possible to 'press the bead means 22 of the cap down over the flange means 17 of the container member until it locks beneath shoulder When the cap is closed it can not be opened by a young child-due to its lack of strength and because it does not usually know where and how to apply pressure to release the cap. However, the cap is easily opened by an older person who does know how and where to apply the pressure needed to bend the weakened part or area of the container member wall inwardly.
In the embodiment of my invention shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 the container member 27 and flanges 28 and 29 on its upper end portion are similar, respectively, to
the container member 15 and flanges l7 and 23 previously herein described except that instead of the three previously described grooves 24, 25 and 26 said container member 27 is provided with four spaced apart, side by side grooves 30, 31, 32 and 33 which extend lengthwise of the container member 27 and across the two flanges 28 and 29.
The cap, not shown, for container member 27 is the same as previously described cap 20,21,22 and it cooperates with the container member in the same manner. The provision of four side by side grooves in flanges 28 and 29 leaves, between the two medial grooves 31 and 32, a section 29 of the flange 29 and this section 29" serves as a push button on which pressure can be exerted to bend the grooved area of container 27 inwardly to facilitate application or removal of the cap.
FIGS. 9 and 10 show an embodiment of my invention comprising a container member 34 having on it flanges 35 and 36 all similar to previously described corresponding parts shown in FIGS. 1 to and adapted to have a similar cap applied to them. Three side by side, spaced apart, external grooves 37, 38 and 39 extend lengthwise of the container member 34 across the flanges 35 and 36 and a fourth internal groove 40 is provided indide of the wall of container member 34 in the same radial plane as the medial external groove 38. The two lateral external grooves 37 and 39 extend across the flanges 35 and 36, are deep enough so they extend a short distance into the external surface of the container wall below the flange 36 and are of substantial length, as shown in FIG. 9. The internal groove 40 is shallow and is in line with the medial groove 38 and preferably is about the same length as the grooves 37 and 39.
The operation of the container shown in FIGS. 9 and is similar to the operation of the previously described container members except that the longer grooves 37, 39 and 40 form shallow channels in the container member wall below the flanges 35 and 36 and this allows a longer area of the container member wall to be bent inwardly by the application of external pressure.
