Abstract
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.
Claims12
A container, comprising:
- a body having a base with at least one wall extending from the base, such that the base and at least one wall define a hollow interior portion of the body that includes a first opening;
- a cap configured to engage with the body to thereby cover the first opening;
- and
- wherein an upper portion of the at least one wall comprises a compression region having a plurality of cutouts in the wall, each of the cutouts having a first end and a second end;
- and
- wherein the plurality of cutouts is configured such that (i) when a downward force is applied to the plurality of cutouts, the plurality of cutouts compress and change from an initial configuration to a compressed configuration, and (ii) when the downward force is removed, the plurality of cutouts return to the initial position.
