Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
181 words
A safety closure for a container serving as a receptacle for sensitive products, e.g. medicine, said closure comprising a closure cap and a container neck part, said closure cap being applied on and removed from the container neck part by rotation, said container neck part having an elastically resilient blocking means which a stop face on the closure cap encounters upon rotation of the closure cap in the direction of removal from the closing position when the blocking means is in an unaffected position, said closure cap having an elastically resilient part through which the blocking means can be actuated to cancel the blocking by external pressure on the part in question, characterized in that the blocking means is an elastic, flexible strip which extends along a portion of the periphery of the neck member and at some distance from the neck member and is attached to or connected with the neck member at the ends, and which is formed with a blocking face spaced somewhat from the ends and intended for cooperation with the stop face of the closure cap.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
181 words
A safety closure for a container serving as a receptacle for sensitive products, e.g. medicine, said closure comprising a closure cap and a container neck part, said closure cap being applied on and removed from the container neck part by rotation, said container neck part having an elastically resilient blocking means which a stop face on the closure cap encounters upon rotation of the closure cap in the direction of removal from the closing position when the blocking means is in an unaffected position, said closure cap having an elastically resilient part through which the blocking means can be actuated to cancel the blocking by external pressure on the part in question, characterized in that the blocking means is an elastic, flexible strip which extends along a portion of the periphery of the neck member and at some distance from the neck member and is attached to or connected with the neck member at the ends, and which is formed with a blocking face spaced somewhat from the ends and intended for cooperation with the stop face of the closure cap.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
A safety closure according to claim 1, characterized by a substantially wedge-shaped recess which is formed along a section of the lower edge of the closure cap and has a truncated end face forming the said stop face, said recess defining a thin-walled area of the closure cap which forms the elastically resilient part.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A safety closure according to claim 1, characterized in that the elastically resilient part is defined at one side by the lower edge of the closure cap and at the other by a slit extending along said lower edge.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
A safety closure according to claim 1, characterized in that the exterior of the closure cap is formed with a stiffening member which can be torn off and forms a bridge across the elastically resilient part.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A safety closure according to claim 4, characterized in that the stiffening member is sheet-shaped and disposed substantially in a radial plane.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
A safety closure according to claim 4, characterized in that the stiffening member forms an awning-like projection which has gable portions and encloses the elastically resilient member on three sides.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
45 words
A safety closure according to claim 1, characterized in that the elastic, flexible strip, at least in an area adjacent or at the side of the blocking face where the cross-section is biggest, has a substantially trapezoidal cross-section with an outwardly and upwardly inclined edge.
