SAFETY CLOSURE FOR CONTAINERS Abstract of the Disclosure A safety closure for a container having a tubular neck surrounding a passageway having an outlet aperture for pouring contents from the container, the safety closure comprising a cap in the form of an inverted cup having an outer peripheral wall and an inner peri- pheral wall concentric with the outer peripheral wall spaced apart inwardly a short distance radially of about an eighth of an inch. A closure wall extends across the top having a closure tab hinged at one end for pivotal movement between an open and closed position. When in the closed position it closes an aperture opening to a central cavity bounded by the inner peripheral wall, the central cavity in turn opening to the open bottom wall of the closure cap for communication with the chamber of the container when the closure cap is in place thereon. The free end of the closure tab terminates at the peri- pheral edge of the outer peripheral wall and seats in a cut out portion thereof when in the closed position. A deflectable barrier strip is formed in the outer peri- pheral wall immediately below the cut out portion, the free end of the closure tab in the closed position abut- ting against the upper edge of the deflectable barrier strip forming a lateral crack therebetween. The outer portion of the upper edge of the barrier strip includes an upwardly extending flexible nib therealong which covers that crack and prevents inserting anything therein to pry up the free end of the closure tab. In order to gain access to the free end of the closure tab for opening, the deflectable barrier strip has to be pressed inwardly whereupon a portion of the closure tab is bared for pushing upwardly to the open position.
