Abstract

A condition indicating child-resistant cap assembly including an inner cap and an outer cap rotatably mounted on the inner cap. An indicating post is connected to the top wall of the inner cap in alignment with an opening in the top wall of the outer cap. When the cap assembly is in the child-resistant mode, the outer cap is spaced upwardly from the inner cap and is freely rotatable in one direction thereon. The post is wholly contained within the space between the inner and outer caps and therefore not visible outside the cap assembly to indicate the cap assembly is in the child-resistant mode. When the cap assembly is in the non-child-resistant mode, the outer cap is rotated in the opposite direction until it snaps, and is moved downwardly toward the inner cap and rotated in the first mentioned direction, whereby the inner and outer caps are interlocked for removal from a container. The post extends outwardly of the cap assembly and therefore is visible to indicate that the cap assembly is in the non-child-resistant mode.
