Abstract
A tamper-resistant container defining an opening extending into a canister chamber; a lid sized and configured to engage the canister rim for closure of the opening; a locking pin having a locked position with the locking pin being engaged with the canister for mitigating disengagement of the lid from the canister rim; and a locking actuator attached to the lid, sized and configured to move the locking pin from the unlocked position.
Claims13
A tamper-resistant container comprising:
- a canister having a canister rim defining an opening extending into a canister chamber;
- a lid sized and configured to engage the canister rim for closure of the opening by rotation of the lid in a first rotational direction relative to the canister rim;
- a locking pin, the locking pin having a locked position with the locking pin being engaged with the canister for mitigating disengagement of the lid from the canister rim, the locking pin having an unlocked position with the locking pin being unengaged with the canister;
- and
- a locking disc attached to a top side of the lid opposite the canister so as to be manually accessible from outside while the lid is engaged with the canister rim, the locking disc being sized and configured to move the locking pin from the unlocked position to the locked position upon rotation of the locking disc in the first rotational direction in relation to the lid, wherein the lid is configured to prevent rotation of the locking disc in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction.
