The present invention pertains to a child resistant cap configured to seal a container while keeping the contents secure therein. The child resistant cap disclosed herein is intended to allow access to those instructed on the manner of removal to allow the dispensing of a container's contents while providing suitable resistance to the efforts of children to gain access. The manner of removal requires multiple steps intended to resist the efforts of children in accordance with current poison prevention packaging regulations.

A cap and container assembly includes a container having a base and a side wall extending upward from the base. The base and the side wall define an interior, and the side wall defines an opening leading to the interior. A cap moves with respect to the container between an opened position in which the opening is exposed, and a closed position in which the cap covers the opening. A tab projects outward from the cap and has a bottom surface. A spacer projects from the container side wall at a location beneath the tab when the assembly is in the closed position. The spacer bends inward towards the container in response to application of a sufficient force, to move from a locked position that blocks the bottom surface of the tab, to an unlocked position to expose at least a portion of the bottom surface of the tab.

Various embodiments of containers are described having child-resistant closures. The containers can include a body having at least one wall that at least partially defines a hollow interior portion into which goods or other products can be stored. A wall of at least one of the body and cap can include a set of apertures that collectively define a compression region, which acts a living spring to allow compression of the wall to permit seating of lugs or other projection within notches.

A closure for a container, and more specifically a closure that is selectively openable and/or lockable providing, for example, one or more child resistant opening features is disclosed.

A lockable container comprising a sleeve having at least three sidewalls defining a pocket, the pocket having at least one entrance, and the pocket adapted for receiving and housing a resilient tray, a least one sidewall of the sleeve having a hole; a resilient tray having three sidewalls, a partial sidewall, a floor and a button, the button located contiguous to the partial sidewall, and hinged to the floor by a cantilevered tab, the resilient tray comprised of a flexible, semi-rigid material; wherein the button is substantially aligned with the hole when the resilient tray is housed within the sleeve, causing the button to protrude through the hole; and wherein the resilient tray is prevented from sliding out of the sleeve unless the button is pressed to disengage the hole.

A substrate treatment product comprising a package comprising at least one layer of fibrous or pulp material and at least one layer of a polymeric material selected from polylactic acid, polyhydroxyalkanoate, a polyester, polybutylenadipate terephthalate, a cellulose based material, a starch based material, a sugare cane based material and mixtures thereof, and the packaging containing a plurality of water-soluble capsules, each water-soluble capsule comprising a substrate treatment composition within a sealed compartment which is filled to at least 60% of the volume of the compartment, the package comprising (i) a receptable containing or more of said water soluble capsules and a closure; (ii) a child resistant closure mechanism comprising a first locking member on the receptacle and a second locking member present on the closure whereby the members interlock;

wherein the substrate treatment composition has a viscosity in the range 200 mPa.Math.s-2000 mPa.Math.s at 25° C. at a shear rate of 21 sec.sup.−1, wherein the water soluble capsule comprises a water soluble film comprising polyvinyl alcohol, a modified polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, carboxymethylcellulose or hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and wherein the water content of the substrate treatment composition is in the range 0.01-15% wt. based on the total weight of the composition.

The container system (1) comprises a container (3), a dispensing device (2) and a closure (4a), wherein the container (3) has a longitudinal axis (L), wherein the container (3) and the dispensing device (2) are connected to one another and are mutually rotatably movable about the longitudinal axis (L), wherein the container (3) and the dispensing device (2) enclose a common interior space the common interior space (6) being delimited in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) by an end face (3a) of the container and by an end wall of the dispensing device (2), the dispensing device (2) having, in the region of the end wall, a removal opening (2a) which is arranged laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis (L) which extends in the circumferential direction with respect to the longitudinal axis (L), wherein the closure (4a) is coupled to the container (3), and wherein the closure (4a) is arranged in the dispensing device (2) in such a manner that upon a mutual rotation of the container (3) and the dispensing device (2) about the longitudinal axis (L), the closure (4a) is rotatably movable about the longitudinal axis (L) with respect to the removal opening (2a) and, depending on its position, assumes a closed position in which the closure (4a) closes the removal opening (2a) and an open position in which the removal opening (2a) is completely open

A child-resistant package includes a vial and a closure configured to mount on the vial to cover a mouth opening into a product-storage chamber of the vial. A child-resistant feature cooperates with the closure and the vial to block unwanted removal of the closure from the vial.
