A pack for smoking articles comprising: a group of smoking articles wrapped by an inner wrap and housed in a rigid outer container provided with a lid hinged to the outer container; a collar partially projecting from an open upper end; and a locking system comprising: a support element arranged in the outer container in contact with the collar and provided with two coupling wings, which project movably outwards to move closer or away from each other; and two first through openings, each obtained through a wall of the lid, houses at least a portion of a corresponding coupling wing, to activate the locking system, preventing the lid from rotating from the closed to the open position. An external action of the user releases the coupling wing to deactivate the locking system. The locking system can be reactivated by rotating the lid from the open position to the closed position.

The technology disclosed herein includes methods and apparatus of a childproof storage container, which includes a lid and a base portion with seesaw-style latches. The seesaw-style latches are configured to unlock a childproof storage container in a looked position upon simultaneously release. Each seesaw-style latch may include a flared end. In a locked position, the childproof storage container may be unlocked and opened upon depression of the flared end of the seesaw-style latch, which rotates the seesaw-style latch from the lid. Each seesaw-style latch may include a standing rib to prevent over-rotation of each seesaw-style latch and/or a chamfer to facilitate closure. The base portion may include a base portion flange, which includes a plurality of female recesses to receive the plurality of male teeth of a lid flange. The base portion and the lid may include opposing walls that interlock during a closed position and/or a gasket for sealing.

A slider for a zipper closure includes a separator plow that is positionable between interlocking tracks of the zipper closure to open the zipper closure by pivoting an opening end of the slider in a direction toward a notch to position the plow between the interlocking closures. The slider can be disengaged by pivoting the slider so that the plow is outside of the interlocking tracks.

A child-resistant dispenser includes a housing (110); and a slider (150) disposed on the housing and configured to slide from a closed position to a dispensing position, the slider comprising a movable engagement portion (148) that engages a stop (122) on the housing, wherein the engagement between the movable engagement portion and the stop restricts movement of the slider to the dispensing position and the movable engagement portion is configured to disengage from the stop in response to a release force applied to the slider.

A container and method of use are disclosed that provide secure storage. This storage prevents stored items from being accessed by children, for example. This secure storage may be provided by a container manufactured from a single sheet of cut cardboard or similar material. No additional components are needed to provide the locking mechanism, which is constructed completely from folds in the cardboard.

A cap for a container including a dispensing opening operable to be selectively sealed and a housing configured for sealing engagement with a container opening, said housing defining a passage along a longitudinal axis thereof, the passage having a plurality of ribs disposed in the passage defining a plurality of channels which, when the container is in a sufficiently tilted state, cause liquid in the container to exit through the dispensing opening, wherein at least one channel is a liquid-flow channel through which liquid flows out of the dispensing opening when unsealed.

A container with a security lock is provided. The container has a top unit and a bottom unit. The bottom unit may have a first side and a second side wherein the first side and the second side each have a compressible tab. The top unit may have a first opening and a second opening wherein the first opening and the second opening receive a portion of the compression tabs when the top unit is locked to the bottom unit.

A package includes a housing assembly and a drawer assembly. The housing assembly is provided with an open cavity, and the housing assembly has an unlocking member and a blocking surface. The drawer assembly is configured to carry an article and is engaged with the open cavity to receive the article in the open cavity. The drawer assembly includes an elastic member. When the elastic member abuts against the blocking surface, the blocking surface prevents the drawer assembly from sliding out of the open cavity. When a force is applied to the unlocking member to deform the elastic member, the elastic member is misaligned with the blocking surface so that the drawer assembly can slide out of the open cavity.

The invention provides an apparatus for container. The container comprises a first sleeve and a tray element. Both the first sleeve and tray comprise holes through the sides of their respective walls. In a locked position the tray is substantially housed within the first sleeve. The apparatus further comprises a foam insert disposed within an open area of the tray element. Located between the wall of the tray and foam insert, a button extends through the hole of the tray element. In a locked position, the button further extends through the hole of the first sleeve. The button may be depressed upon the foam insert to unlock the tray from the foam insert.

The child-resistant container includes a receptacle having an inner cavity, a lid that selectively couples with the receptacle to enclose the inner cavity when in a locked position, and a lock movable between the locked position securing the lid to the receptacle to substantially prevent access to the inner cavity and an unlocked position permitting the lid to move relative to the receptacle to expose access to the inner cavity. The receptacle and lid combination may include a lid that pivots relative to a container about a hinge and locks thereto by locking catches in the container sidewalls; or may include an outer housing enclosing an inner storage container in slide-in relation, wherein a pair of safety tabs extend from the inner storage container and through the outer housing into a respective pair of locking channels formed therein.
