Claims18
A container system comprising:
- a container body having a storage space and an opening that provides access to the storage space,
- the container body further having a rim that substantially encircles the opening,
- the rim having an upper surface,
- a closure system that is connectable to the container body and is sized and configured to cover the opening when the closure system is in a closed position, preventing access to the storage space,
- the closure system comprising a locking system,
- where when the locking system is engaged, the closure system is retained in the closed position, and
- where when the locking system is not engaged, the closure system can be moved from the closed position to an open position,
- the closure system further comprising a frame and a lid, wherein the lid is hingedly connected to the frame, and
- where when the closure system is connected to the container body and is in the closed position, the closure system does not cover the upper surface of the rim.

A method of assembling a container system, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a container body having a storage space and an opening that provides access to the storage space,
- the container body further having a rim that substantially encircles the opening,
- the rim having an upper surface,
- providing a closure system that is connectable to the container body and is sized and configured to cover the opening when the closure system is in a closed position, preventing access to the storage space,
- the closure system comprising a locking system,
- where when the locking system is engaged, the closure system is retained in the closed state, and
- where when the locking system is not engaged, the closure system can be moved from the closed position to an open position,
- the closure system further comprising a frame and a lid, wherein the lid is hingedly connected to the frame, and
- connecting the closure system and the container body so that when the closure system is connected to the container body and is in the closed position, the closure system does not cover the upper surface of the rim.

A container system comprising a container body and a closure system that is connectable to the container body,
- the container body having a storage space, an opening that provides access to the storage space, and a neck that substantially encircles the opening;
- the closure system being sized and configured to the cover the opening when the closure system is in a closed position, thereby preventing access to the storage space,
- the closure system further comprising a locking system, where when the locking system is engaged, the closure system is retained in the closed position, and where when the locking system is not engaged, the closure system can be moved from the closed position to an open position,
- the closure system further comprising a frame and a lid, wherein the lid is hingedly connected to the frame,
- where when the closure system is in the closed position, an outer or terminal edge of the closure system that is spaced away from the center of the closure system is nested in the neck of the container body;
- the container system further comprising unitized dose articles in the storage space.
