A mobile smart container system comprises a housing, an access component configured to secure access to a compartment within the housing when in a closed position, a communication interface configured to wirelessly receive a request to access the compartment, a perceivable output device, an electromechanical latch configured to engage with the access component to releasably lock the access component in the closed position, and a processor. The processor receives and authenticates the request to access the compartment and, in response to receiving and authenticating the request, activates the electromechanical latch to unlock the access component to make the compartment accessible, and outputs, upon actuation of the electromechanical latch, an alert via the perceivable output device to identify the smart container system.

A device for accepting parcels and deliveries, having: (a) a zipper bag; (b) a one-way toothed round bar mounted to the puller of the zipper; (c) a pawl component configured to make the one-way toothed round bar to move one-way along its axial direction; and (d) a fixing base mounted to the zipper bag near the top stop of the zipper. The pawl component is fixed in the fixing base, and the one-way toothed round bar can only move inwards into the fixing base if a lock passes through the fixing base's locking hole. Otherwise, the pawl component is removable, and the one-way toothed round bar can be pulled back. The position of the fixing base satisfies: the zipper bag is closed completely when the one-way toothed round bar entirely enters into the fixing base. Also provided a similar device based on a tie-able bag.

A container with a security lock is provided. The container may have a lid (or “top”) portion and a bottom portion. The lid portion may have an exterior cover, a first disc, a second disc and a third disc. The first disc may have a plurality of indented downward partial trapezoids. The second disc may also have a plurality of nearly identical, upwardly extending partial trapezoids wherein the plurality of indented partial trapezoids of the first disc may be temporarily and selectively located between the plurality of partial trapezoids of the second disc in order to allow the lid to be rotated and the container therein opened. The third disc may be made of a thin material that allows the container to remain substantially airtight.

The technology disclosed herein includes a re-lockable, environmentally friendly packaging apparatus including an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, and at least one locking mechanism configured to lock the inner sleeve inside the outer sleeve. In some implementations, the locking mechanism is an interior mechanism, which locks the inner sleeve in its entirety in the outer sleeve. In some implementations, the locking mechanism is an interior sliding mechanism, which permits the inner sleeve to move partially out of the outer sleeve. In some implementations, the inner sleeve includes a pull tab for removal of the inner sleeve from inside the outer sleeve.

A bin assembly, bin identification system and method are disclosed. A container bin assembly includes a bin body, a latching mechanism, and controller. A method includes receiving, via a communication interface, an authenticated request to access the smart container, actuating an electromechanical latch to disengage a fastening hook, thereby initiating a mechanical movement of an access component to make an internal compartment accessible, outputting, via an audiovisual element, an alert to identify the container, confirming that the electromechanical latch has re-engaged with the fastening hook, thereby securing the internal compartment, determining a change in a local inventory, and updating the local inventory in a non-volatile data store according to the change.

The invention comprises a lid configured to close the open end of a container, wherein the lid comprises a track disposed at least partially circumferentially within a peripheral portion of the lid, at least one insertion point within the track, and at least one retention region within the track. A ring is disposed circumferentially about the container, wherein the ring comprises at least one post which is configured to be inserted into and removed from the at least one insertion point and retained within the retention region. At least one of the ring and the lid are circumferentially rotatable between a locked position, wherein the at least one post is within the at least one retention region and an unlocked position, wherein the at least one post is within the at least one insertion point.

An elongated tubular housing adapted to receive an adjustable external compression device introduced on one end of the tubular housing distal from the opening releasing the contents, and retained in position by a member engaging a grooved strip that is integrated with and/or retained on the housing surface material with a strip surface of like material, providing a reliable, economic and functional outer compression member retention apparatus and method. Further embodiments according to the present invention include a dispenser having regions provided for ease and comfort of gripping, grooved strip end-stop to retain compression device, and grooved strip dimensional and placement details to provide functional, manufacturable and economic material dispenser.

A cap-type synthetic resin container lid (2), which can be removed sufficiently easily from a mouth-neck section (38) of a container without requiring great force and, even after removal from the mouth-neck section (38) of the container, continues to be kept integral without being partly separated to form a scrap piece, is provided.

The container lid (2) includes thin-walled inversion pieces (18) arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction and extending upward beyond a top panel wall (4) from the lower ends of the thin-walled inversion pieces, the lower ends being connected to the outer peripheral surface of a skirt wall (6) or to the boundary part between the outer peripheral surface of the skirt wall (6) and the upper surface of the top panel wall (4); a restraint wall (20) connected to the upper ends of the thin-walled inversion pieces (18) and having a specific site (22) in the circumferential direction, the specific site being either split, or being defined by a breakable weakened section (24); and an operating section (30) connected to the outer peripheral surface of the skirt wall (6) via a connecting piece (28) extending out radially from the outer peripheral surface of the skirt wall (6) at a position in alignment with the specific site (22). Locked projections (26) and locking projections (36) are disposed in the restraint wall (20) and the connecting piece (28), respectively, to collaborate in restricting the expansion of the restraint wall (20).

The present invention relates to a tamper resistant lid for a container. The lid exhibits a center axis (X) and includes an outer and an inner member. The outer and inner members are further adapted to be substantially prevented from displacement along the center axis (X) with respect to each other. At least a part of the inner member includes threads enabling a threaded connection to the container by means of rotating the outer member in a first direction. The lid further includes at least one stop member preventing the inner member from rotation with respect to the outer member. The at least one stop member is adapted to be controllably disabled with a designated force after said inner member has been connected to the container, so that the outer member can be freely rotated with respect to the inner member to thereby prevent removal of the lid from the container. The present invention enables the sealing of a container, while substantially preventing the container from being reopened.

An injection closure system includes a bottle containing a product to be distributed and a closure attached to the bottle and including nozzles. Each of the nozzles includes two holes through which the product is distributed from the bottle. The bottle includes a plurality of teeth extending around an outer surface of the bottle and the closure includes a plurality of teeth extending around an inner surface of the closure. When the closure is in a fully attached position on the bottle, the teeth of the bottle contact the teeth of the closure to prevent the closure from being removed from the bottle.
