A container and methods of manufacturing and operating the same are provided where the container has a cap that is removable yet childproof. The cap is positioned in a tubular body, and the cap has a generally smooth or continuous upper surface to reduce or eliminate surfaces or edges for a child to grasp. To operate the cap, a disc in the center of the cap is pushed below a lip, and a user grasps the lip to pull the cap from the tubular body. The force needed to press the disc away from the lip is low enough for an adult but too high for a child. Moreover, the cap forms an interference fit with the tubular body with enough friction force to prevent the cap from falling out of the tubular body but is low enough that the cap can be pulled from the tubular body.

The present application provides a container that includes: a first layer of sheet material forming the first side of the container and at least a second and third layer of sheet material forming the second side of the container, a pair of closure strips extending along the opening of the container, each of the closure strips having at least one of a male and a female linear interlocking strip. A first of the pair of closure strips includes: an extension above and an extension below the respective linear interlocking strip, and a second of the pair of closure strips comprising an extension below the respective linear interlocking strip. The linear interlocking strips configured to be released from each other by pulling the extensions below the linear interlocking strips apart using a pair of flaps extending from the closure strip extensions.

The present disclosure relates to a method for opening a resealable childproof bag designed to provide an effective yet child-resistant access mechanism. The bag includes first and second sidewalls, each with an upper portion, and first and second locking members attached to the inner surfaces of the respective sidewalls. The method includes locating an interruption in the first locking member, which is interlocked with the second locking member. The method further includes applying outward forces to the locking members at the interruption to initiate a rotating motion facilitated by the unattached upper portion of the first sidewall. This motion enables the disengagement of the locking members, allowing the bag to be opened. The interruption is discreetly designed to be non-obvious to children, ensuring childproof functionality, while adults can easily identify and operate the opening mechanism.

The present disclosure relates to plastic or polymeric container with reclosable zippers which make the package child-resistant. In one typical embodiment, this is achieved by a zipper with a high internal opening force and a low external opening force, wherein three flanges are sealed to the bag walls, and one external flange is left unsealed. In order to encounter the low external opening force, the user must grab the unsealed external flange while applying an external opening force to the zipper.

A reclosable enclosure includes front and back panels and a reclosable mechanism. The front panel and the back panel are coupled to each other and form an interior cavity therebetween. The front panel is configured to form an access slot that extends widthwise along the front panel. The reclosable mechanism is coupled to an interior side of the front panel along the access slot. The reclosable mechanism has a first profile and a second profile forming a zipper. The first profile includes a user tab that is accessible through the access slot. The user tab is configured to assist in separating the first and second profiles to provide an opening to the interior cavity of the reclosable enclosure.

A container has an upper edge, a lateral wall extending around the circumference of the container, and an opening closed by a lid. A latching rim proximate the upper edge latches with a corresponding latching rim on the lid. The latching rims of the container and the lid, respectively, extend at least partially around a circumference of the same. The container lateral wall includes a peripheral skirt having a sub-region extending radially outwardly from the lateral wall. The lid includes a lower lid rim on the outside of the container and at least one extension extending outside the lateral wall of the container. The extension extends below the lower rim of the lid and at least partially penetrates the skirt of the container. The extension and the container include corresponding fixing devices releasable independently of the latching devices formed by the latching rims of the container and the lid.

A package including a container and a cover sheet, the container having a first section and a second section connected at a breakable joint, the first section includes a well, and the cover sheet is adhered to at least a portion of the first section and at least a portion of the second section and the cover sheet covers the well. Either the first section or the second section is adapted to pivot to assist in breaking the breakable joint in order to separate the first section and the second section, and allow removal of the cover sheet.

The present disclosure relates to plastic or polymeric container with reclosable zippers which make the package child-resistant. In one typical embodiment, this is achieved by a zipper with a high internal opening force and a low external opening force, wherein three flanges are sealed to the bag walls, and one external flange is left unsealed. In order to encounter the low external opening force, the user must grab the unsealed external flange while applying an external opening force to the zipper.

Sachet having a concealed opening, comprising: a first and a second wall (10, 20), a closure assembly (3) comprising a first and a second support web (30, 32) that are connected to the first and the second wall (10, 20), respectively, and each have a closure element (34).

A resealable bag is provided. The bag may include a resealable closure configured to make it difficult for a child to open the bag. The resealable closure may be disposed on a pair of flanges attached to an interior of the bag. In some embodiments, a user may need to grasp the flanges near the resealable closure in order to open the bag. This may provide a user an advantage when trying to prevent children from accessing the contents of the bag.
