Containers are described herein for the transportation and distribution of replaceable consumer products, e.g. interchangeable shaving assemblies. The containers described herein include a mechanism to securely hold the container in predetermined open and closed positions. The interior of the container may provided features which serve to hold and protect the shaving assemblies when not in use, e.g., during transport or storage.

A shopping bin which mounts crosswise on a shopping cart and is slidable onto the conveyor belt of a supermarket check stand. The bin mechanism holds the bottom of the bin in place and causes a door at the front of the bin to open as the conveyor belt moves the rest of the bin forward until the bottom of the bin has been mostly extracted, thus allowing the check stand conveyor to completely vacate the contents of the bin and send them to the checker and the item scanner.

A child-resistant closure includes a polymeric top portion, a polymeric annular skirt portion depending from the top portion, and a cantilevered slidable lid. The top portion includes a slide portal with a retention wall, and forms an opening. The cantilevered slidable lid includes a first portion and a second portion. The first and second portions have respective first ends and second ends. The second end of the first portion forms a latch. The first end of the second portion is spaced from the first portion and forms a cantilever. The second portion extends generally upwardly and inwardly from the first portion into an interior of the closure. The cantilevered slidable lid is adapted to move by pressing on the first end of the second portion to release the latch and sliding the cantilevered slidable lid along the slide portal.

Novel lockable safe containers for dispensing valuable, dangerous and potentially dangerous goods via a main opening that is easy for adults (including the elderly or frail) to open, but difficult for children to open, using a finger pressure on a sliding closure with a deflectable extension operable by finger pressure to enable. The novel safe containers have many additional advantages including human factors, ergonomics, manufacturing, supply chain and distribution, warehousing, retail, tamper resistance advantages, and labeling. The slidable closure exits the main opening zone via an auxiliary opening but wholly without exiting the container in normal usage.

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.

An easy-opening end closure that may also be reclosed, suitable for joining to a container. A cover panel is bonded around its perimeter to an end panel with a rotatable lever interposed between them. To open the closure, a user applies force to the rotating lever to move it axially around an attachment point and progressively debond the seal perimeter. In this process, latching mechanisms ensure uni-directional movement of the lever relative to the shutter and joining of the two components at the end of the rotational sweep.
