COVER WITH FIRST AND SECOND ACTUATION AREAS
Examples include a consumer product comprising a box comprising a detergent product, a cover, and a lock. The cover covers an opening and first and second specific portions of sidewalls of the box when the cover is in the closed position, the lock comprising a first and a second actuator moveable from a locking position to an opening position, the cover comprising first and second actuation areas, the actuation areas permitting displacing the first and second actuators from the locking position to the opening position by simultaneously applying the actuation pressure, whereby: the first specific portions and the first actuator pertain to a same specific sidewall; the second specific portion and the second actuator pertain to an opposite sidewall; the first actuation area pertains to a same specific flank; and the second actuation area pertains to an opposite flank.
Child-resistant packaging container and blank
A childproof and senior friendly packaging container having a housing defining a chamber for removably receiving a blister card or sheet. The blister card includes a blister or node on its end to engage a pair of slots within the housing sleeve to retain the blister card in a stored position and an extended position. The node may include a sloped rear surface to allow the blister card to be returned to a stored position. Squeezing the sides of the housing about the interior slot biases both the top panel of the housing and the panels defining the slot to release the node from the slot to allow the blister card to be withdrawn. A removable display panel may be attached to the packaging container to facilitate placement of the container in point of purchase displays while not interfering with the ability of consumers to access the contents. A cover with a tuck flap may be used to selectively cover the open end of the packaging container.
Container assembly with a magnetic locking mechanism
A container assembly is provided with a container and a lid, with the lid cooperating with the container to enclose the interior of the container. A magnetic member is supported by the lid or the container for transverse movement between a first position and a second position. When the lid is cooperatively associated with the container, the magnetic member is in the first position and inhibits movement of the lid along a longitudinal axis of the container to lock the container. With the magnetic member in the second position, the lid is moveable along the longitudinal axis to open the container.
PACKAGING
A child resistant package is made from paperboard, cardboard or other foldable sheet material. The package includes an outer sleeve having a closed end and an opposed open end and an inner sleeve, telescopically received within the outer sleeve. The inner sleeve has a closed end adjacent the open end of the outer sleeve. The inner sleeve is joined to the outer sleeve by a frangible connection. The package further includes a selectively releasable lock between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve for preventing withdrawal of the inner sleeve from the outer sleeve after the frangible connection between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve has been broken. An opening tab is formed in the outer sleeve and is configured to break the frangible connection between the inner and outer sleeves when the tab is released from the outer sleeve and to provide an opening in the outer sleeve to provide access to the inner sleeve such that the inner sleeve may be pressed inwardly in order to release the releasable lock between the inner and outer sleeves.
AIRTIGHT CHILD RESISTANT CASE WITH ELONGATED COMPARTMENTS
A package for preserving freshness and storing elongated items. The package is preferably biodegradable, substantially airtight, child resistant and reusable. Various seal constructions are described for sealing a case body portion against a case lid portion. The respective sealing surfaces of the case lid portion and case body portion are complementary, but spaced. A continuous elastomeric seal is provided in the seal space between the complementary sealing surfaces. The seal is configured to be compressed along the entire sealing length of the sealing surface when the case lid portion is pivoted into the latched position. The compressed elastomeric seal provides a spring force that retains the latch in the latched position and a spring force that is resolved into sealing vectors perpendicular to the sealing surface along the entire length of the sealing surface to ensure a seal along the sealing surface.
CHILD-RESISTANT SMOKING ARTICLE PACKAGE
A child-resistant smoking article package 100 is provided which comprises a case 103 with an opening 104 that is adapted to receive a smoking article 102 and a cap 107 movable between a closed state wherein the cap 107 closes the case 103 and an open state wherein the opening 104 of the case 103 is accessible. The child-resistant smoking article package 100 further comprises a first releaseably engageable fixation member 108-1 and a second and third releaseably engageable fixation member 108-2, 108-3, wherein the second and third releaseably engageable fixation members 108-2, 108-3 are arranged on opposing sides of the child-resistant smoking article package 100. The first, second and third releaseably engageable fixation members 108-1, 108-2, 108-3 are adapted to immovably fix the cap 107 to the case 103 in the closed state and to release the cap 107 when they are simultaneously actuated.
CHILD-RESISTANT MOLDED-FIBER CONTAINER
A child-resistant molded-fiber container includes a base, a lid, and a hinge. The base includes an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface defines a cavity and the lower surface defines a channel surrounding the cavity. The channel is disposed between an inner sidewall and an outer sidewall of the base. The outer sidewall includes a locking member. The lid includes a sidewall having an opening. The hinge rotatably connects the base and the lid, and allows rotation of the lid between an open configuration and a closed configuration relative to the base. In the closed configuration, the sidewall of the lid is disposed around the outer sidewall of the base and conceals the upper surface of the base. In the closed configuration, the locking member of the base extends through the opening of the lid to inhibit movement of the lid to the open configuration.
Child-Resistant Containers Having Embedded Compression Region
Various embodiments of containers are described having child-resistant closures. The containers can include a body having at least one wall that at least partially defines a hollow interior portion into which goods or other products can be stored. A wall of at least one of the body and cap can include a set of apertures that collectively define a compression region, which acts a living spring to allow compression of the wall to permit seating of lugs or other projection within notches.
CLOSURE DEVICE AND CONTAINER
Closure devices and containers including the closure devices are provided herein. An exemplary closure device includes a frame defining an opening, a lid covering the opening and coupled to the frame so as to pivot about a pivot axis, a first locking feature, and at least one second locking feature. The first locking feature and the at least one second locking feature each have a latching hook and an undercut and are used to hold the lid in a closed position. In the closed position, the latching hook and undercut of the first locking feature are arranged between a first outer edge of the closure device and the opening. An upper rim of the first outer edge is located above an upper end of the latching hook. The first outer edge is designed to protect the latching hook from being operated in an unintended manner.
CHILD-RESISTANT, PRESSURIZABLE, AND RESEALABLE PACKAGE
A package includes a container with a crown closure bead and an external thread segment having a diameter greater than that of the crown closure bead, a crown closure coupled to the crown closure bead, and a multi-piece closure assembly coupled to the crown closure and the container. The closure assembly includes an inner shell, a seal liner carried by the inner shell and positioned against the crown closure, and an outer shell. The inner shell has an inner skirt having at least one internal thread segment to cooperate with the external thread segment of the container. The outer shell has an outer skirt with an internal retention bead for cooperating with an external retention bead of the inner shell to retain the shells together in an axial direction, and outer child-resistant engagement features to cooperate with inner child-resistant engagement features of the inner shell.
