| 20080277368 | Push-Squeeze-Lift Child-Resistant Closure And Container System - A push-squeeze-lift child resistant closure for a container having an unthreaded neck and a top shoulder having a top surface with at least one receptacle locking slot, the closure comprising a top having a spring inside the top and a sidewall having flexible panels, wherein each flexible panel includes at least one horizontal tab hook that engages a corresponding locking slot in the container, wherein the tab hook and corresponding locking slot prevents removal of the closure without first pushing downward on the closure and concurrently squeezing or depressing the flexible panel to disengage the hook and remove the closure. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090184082 | Stopper Device for a Container, a Container Fitted with Such a Device, and a Method of Fabricating Such a Device - This stopper device ( | 07-23-2009 |
| 20090212002 | Container Cover Assembly - A container cover assembly that has at least two states. In the first, closed state, the removal of the contents of the container through the opening of the container is prevented. In the second, open state, the removal of the contents of said container through the opening of the container is possible. The cover assembly comprises a mechanism for preventing the transfer of the cover assembly from the first state to the second state, unless at least a predetermined number of shaking motions is applied to the container and cover assembly. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100025355 | CHILD-RESISTANT CANISTER - A child-resistant canister includes a container and a closure configured to mount on the container to close an opening into an interior region formed in the container. The closure includes a lid and a lid anchor coupled to the lid. The lid anchor is configured to mate with a closure retainer included in the container to retain the closure in a mounted position on the container. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100051572 | CHILD-RESISTANT CANISTER - A child-resistant canister includes a container and a closure configured to mount on the container to close an opening into an interior region formed in the container. The closure includes a lid and a lid anchor coupled to the lid. The lid anchor is configured to mate with a closure retainer included in the container to retain the closure in a mounted position on the container. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100126955 | CHILD-RESISTANT CONTAINER HAVING A DEFLECTABLE RELEASE - A plastic container for a child-resistant package, including a sidewall with an outer surface, a deflectable release cantilevered from the outer surface and deflectable toward the outer surface, and deflection limiting elements carried by the deflectable release to limit deflection of the release. The deflection limiting elements include laterally spaced lugs transversely extending toward the sidewall outer surface from the deflectable release and having portions normally spaced from the sidewall outer surface, such that deflection of the release brings the portions of the lugs into abutment with the sidewall outer surface. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100200533 | VIAL WITH PUSH-BUTTON RELEASE CLOSURE - A child-resistant package includes a vial and a closure configured to mount on the vial to cover a mouth opening into a product-storage chamber of the vial. A child-resistant feature cooperates with the closure and the vial to prevent unwanted removal of the closure from the vial. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20120175336 | CHILD RESISTANT CONTAINER - A child proof or child resistant container made primarily from fiber based materials is provided. The container comprises a tubular body, a cap that slides onto the body and a separate locking ring that fits within the cap. The locking ring is provided with diametrically opposed squeeze tabs that extend through openings in the cap and locking detents that fit into openings in the container body wall to lock the cap onto the body. The container body and cap may both be made from fiber based materials such as paper and the locking ring may be made from plastic. To open the container the user simultaneously squeezes the squeeze tabs while lifting and rotating the cap. | 07-12-2012 |
| 20120261378 | CLOSURE SYSTEM FOR CONTAINER - A closure system for a container includes a pair of primary anchors located opposite one another on an exterior surface of the neck. Each primary anchor has vertical and horizontal portions. A cap has an upper surface and a series of walls depending downwardly therefrom and at least first and second locking tabs extending downwardly from an underside of the cap. The locking tabs are located opposite one another, and there is at least one rib between the walls of the cap and the locking tabs. Each of the locking tabs has an inwardly extending anchor tab on an inside surface thereof the locking tab. The anchor tabs are arranged to engage the primary anchors when the cap is engaged with the neck and turned relative to the container. The vertical portions of the primary anchors are arranged to positively stop further rotation of the cap relative to the container. | 10-18-2012 |
| 20140144867 | TAB RELEASE CHILD SAFETY FEATURE - A child-resistant container including a container body, a lid, and at least one resilient tab is provided. The lid is pivotable about an axis through a hinge joining the lid to the container body to open and close the container. The resilient tab has a proximal portion fixed to the lid, a distal portion projecting from the lid, and at least one abutment on the distal portion. The abutment on the distal portion of the tab is normally biased into engagement with an abutment on the container body when the lid is in its closed position. The distal portion of the tab is displaceable against the bias to disengage the abutment of the tab from the abutment of the container. Displacement of the tab releases the lid so that it can be pivoted about the hinge to open the container. | 05-29-2014 |
| 20160039581 | SAFETY CONTAINER PROVIDING OPTIONAL OPENING AND CLOSING ARRANGEMENTS - The present invention includes a lockable safety container that incorporates a pop-up lid to enable person having disabilities to open the safety container, while the safety container retains childproofing features. The childproofing features include a locking pin, a locking tab, and a slide detent. The locking pin is internally biased by a spring that urges the pin to slide in a slideway in the lid of the container. The locking pin may be locked into a closed position by positioning the locking tab into a lock-out position. In the lock-out position, the locking tab cannot slide within a mating slot in the lid and thus the locking pin cannot slide in the slideway in the lid. The childproofing features of the safety container may require the user to engage in at two least distinct hand motions in order to open the container. | 02-11-2016 |
