Container apparatus embodiments for providing preferably child resistant and senior friendly closures are provided. Generally, the embodiments include containers, each having an internal product space configured for housing at least one product. Generally, the container apparatus embodiments are each configured to move between a CLOSED position and an OPENED position. Various mechanisms according to the disclosed concepts are described to help prevent a person who should not be accessing contents of the container apparatus from doing so.

A container having a childproof safety device is provided. The container has a container body with a container opening, comprising a container closure for the container opening, said closure being movable from a closed to an open position, and comprising a removable tamper-proof element. A child safety device that comprises an actuating element is associated with the container closure. The invention is characterized in that the tamper-proof element blocks movement of at least a portion of the actuating element and in that after the tamper-proof element is removed at least a portion of the actuating element is movable from a first position, in which the container closure is secured, to a second position, in which the container closure is not secured.

The present invention concerns a retractable covering system suitable for covering a handling element protruding from the neck of a product reservoir. In the system, an assembly ring defines a longitudinal axis and an axial direction. A cap is translatable along the longitudinal axis relative to the assembly ring between a deployed position, in which it extends substantially protruding relative to the ring, and a retracted position, in which it is at least partially retracted relative to the ring. An elastic element biasing biases the cap toward the deployed position and a reversible locking device locks the cap in the retracted position.

A container locking device for deterring unauthorized access to a container or containers includes a frame that has an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter defining a band. A plurality of penetrations is positioned in the band. The device also comprises a support that has an outer edge and an inner edge defining a strip. Each of a plurality of ties is flexible and has a first terminus and a second terminus. Each of the first termini is coupled to the outer edge of the support. Each of the plurality of ties has a plurality of fasteners coupled proximate to a respective one of the second termini.

The present invention relates to an opening and closing apparatus capable of controlling opening same and a container provided with the apparatus, the opening and closing apparatus controlling opening the container by a user by means of: an opening and closing device, provided on a container main body for storing content, having a turning part necessary for opening the container main body on the outer surface of the opening and closing device, and opening and closing one end of the container main body; and a turning control part, separated from the opening and closing actions of the opening and closing device for controlling the operation of the turning part.
