Disclosed herein are child-resistant containers. Also disclosed are methods using the modular containers and methods of storing substances in containers The containers have a glass base and a plastic cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the cap from base with a squeeze and lift sequence on the sides of the cap. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container cap, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The containers are modular and stackable.

A container according to at least one example embodiment includes a base and a lid configured to be moved between a closed and locked configuration and an open configuration. The lid includes a top wall and a flexible tab projecting from the top wall. The flexible tab is configured to move from a relaxed position to a flexed position in response to a force in a direction and return to the relaxed position absent the force. In the closed and locked configuration, the flexible tab is in the relaxed position, at least partially in the receptacle, and configured to engage the base to retain the lid in the closed and locked configuration. The lid is configured to be moved from the closed and locked configuration to the open configuration by moving the lid in a second direction perpendicular to the direction with the flexible tab in the flexed position.

A container has an improved releasable cap, the container including a neck having external threads. The cap includes: a circular top piece for sealing the container; two sidewall sections connected to the top piece each having an internal threaded portion for engaging the neck of the container. Each sidewall section has two circumferential ends each spaced from an adjacent circumferential end of the other sidewall section such that two diametrically opposed expandable gaps are defined between the spaced circumferential ends. Two tabs each span a respective one of the two gaps, the tabs bulging outward from the sidewall section. The tabs are configured to be pressed inward thereby causing the sidewall sections to flex outward to disengage the internal threaded portions thereof from the external threads of the neck of the container permitting the cap to be removed therefrom.

A container includes a base and a lid movable between a closed and locked configuration and an open configuration The base includes a peripheral wall movable from a relaxed position to a flexed position by applying a first force to a first portion in a first direction and a second force to a second portion in a second direction. The lid defines a plurality of receptacles. In the closed and locked configuration, the protrusions are at least partially in the receptacles, the peripheral wall is in the relaxed position, and the protrusions are configured to engage the lid to retain the lid in the closed and locked configuration. The container is configured to be moved from the closed and locked configuration to the open configuration by moving the lid in a third direction different from the first and second directions while the peripheral wall is in the flexed position.

The container includes a base and a lid pivotally coupled to the base. The base includes a bottom wall and a peripheral wall, where a plurality of receptacles are defined in the peripheral wall. The peripheral wall is configured to be moved from a relaxed position to a flexed position by applying a first force to a first portion of the peripheral wall in a first direction and a second force to a second portion of the peripheral wall in a second direction. The lid includes a top wall and a plurality of projections. In the relaxed position, the lid is configured to engage the receptacles so as to retain the lid in a closed configuration. The container is configured to be moved from the closed configuration to an open configuration by moving the lid in a third direction while the peripheral wall is in the flexed position.

A child safety lid is provided and used to close the opening of content containers including rigid and flexible containers/bags. The cover requires a multiple step process in order to be removed and helps to prevent inadvertent or accidental openings of the container. The lid/cover can comprise a top member, a locking member, a bottom member and a seal member. The top member can be secured to the bottom member with the locking member captured therebetween and the seal member can extend downward from the bottom member and contact an internal shelf/ledge disposed within the container near the container opening. In one embodiment, the seal member and bottom member can be bonded to each other through an overmolding process. In one embodiment, the seal can be constructed from an elastomer material.

The package includes a base, a primary lid connected to the base via a first hinge, the primary lid and the base defining a primary storage area when the primary lid is in a closed position, a first locking mechanism, and a second locking mechanism. The first locking mechanism and the second locking mechanism each include a flexible member including a first and second segment connected by an elbow, the first segment being connected to the primary lid, a distal end of the second segment including a contact structure, the second segment including a first engaging structure, a second engaging structure on an interior wall of the base, the flexible member being in a first position when the primary lid is in the closed position, the second engaging structure being retained by the first engaging structure to lock the primary lid onto the base in the closed position.

A child resistant container having a three-point activator system is provided. The container comprises a tray, a carton or other enclosure and a plurality of buttons that must be simultaneously depressed or otherwise activated to remove the tray out of the carton. The buttons are positioned so as to require an adult hand to operate.

The child-resistant container includes a receptacle having an inner cavity, a lid that selectively couples with the receptacle to enclose the inner cavity when in a locked position, and a lock movable between the locked position securing the lid to the receptacle to substantially prevent access to the inner cavity and an unlocked position permitting the lid to move relative to the receptacle to expose access to the inner cavity. The receptacle and lid combination may include a lid that pivots relative to a container about a hinge and locks thereto by locking catches in the container sidewalls; or may include an outer housing enclosing an inner storage container in slide-in relation, wherein a pair of safety tabs extend from the inner storage container and through the outer housing into a respective pair of locking channels formed therein.

A package with a selectively openable case and tray to selectively allow access to one or more compartments is disclosed.
