A container comprising an outer casing and an inner casing. The inner casing is received within the outer casing and is retractable from the outer casing. The inner casing includes a locking tab which engages with a locking layer of the outer housing.
Claims19
A container comprising:
- a) an outer casing, the outer casing comprising a locking layer that is folded into planar contact with an inside surface of the outer casing, the outer casing comprising a press surface;
- b) an inner casing, which is received within die outer casing and is retractable from within the outer casing, the inner casing includes a locking tab, the locking tab is folded into planar contact with an outside surface of the inner casing;
- wherein when the inner casing is fully received within the outer casing, the locking tab is adapted to engage the locking layer of the outer casing to prevent the inner casing from being withdrawn from the outer casing;
- wherein when the press surface of the outer casing is deformed, the locking tab is distanced away from the locking layer so that the inner casing can be withdrawn from the outer casing;
- wherein the container comprises a dispense aperture and a lock disengagement cutout;
- and
- wherein the dispense aperture, the lock disengagement cutout, the locking layer, and the locking tab are all located on a same side of the container.

A container comprising:
- a) an outer casing, the outer casing comprising a locking layer that is folded into planar contact with an inside surface of the outer casing, the outer casing comprising a press surface and a lock disengagement cutout;
- b) an inner casing, the inner casing includes a locking tab, an entire surface of the locking tab is folded into planar contact with an outside surface of the inner casing;
- wherein after the inner casing is fully received within the outer casing, the back end of the locking layer is adapted to engage a front end of the locking tab to prevent the inner casing from being withdrawn from the outer casing,
- wherein after the press surface of the outer casing is deformed, the locking tab is distanced away from the locking layer so that the inner casing can be withdrawn from the outer casing,
- wherein the lock disengagement cutout is located adjacent the back end of the locking layer so that the locking layer remains in a substantially steady position instead of deforming inward after the press surface of the outer surface is deformed,
- wherein the container comprises a dispense aperture, and the dispense aperture, the lock disengagement cutout, the locking layer, and the locking tab are all located on a same side of the container.
