Abstract
A package with a selectively openable case and tray to selectively allow access to one or more compartments is disclosed.
Claims20
A child resistant package, comprising:
- a case and a tray, wherein the tray is selectively insertable into the case to provide a closed position and removable from the case to provide an open position;
- the tray having at least one product storage compartment, a first end, and a second end located opposite the first end, wherein the product storage compartment is disposed between the first end and the second end;
- a pocket adjacent the second end of the tray;
- the case having a first end with an opening configured to allow insertion and removal of the tray within the case, and the case having a second end opposite the case first end, wherein the case second end includes a slot for receiving the second end of the tray;
- a locking protrusion on the case configured to engage the pocket of the tray;
- wherein the tray second end is movable by a user input between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein the locking protrusion of the case and the pocket of the tray cooperate to form a mechanical stop inhibiting moving the tray relative to the case from the closed position to the open position when the tray is in the locked position;
- wherein the tray is movable in an axial direction between the open position and the closed position;
- and
- wherein the tray second end is movable from the locked position to the unlocked position by a user input causing movement of the pocket relative to the locking protrusion in a direction transverse to the axial direction to remove the mechanical stop and allow removal of the tray from the case.

A child resistant package, comprising:
- a case and a tray, wherein the tray is selectively insertable into the case to provide a closed position and removable from the case to provide an open position;
- the tray having at least one product storage compartment, a first end, and a second end located opposite the first end, wherein the product storage compartment is disposed between the first end and the second end;
- the case having a first end with an opening configured to allow insertion and removal of the tray within the case, and the case having a second end opposite the case first end;
- wherein the second end of the tray is configured to cooperate with the case to form a locked position;
- wherein the tray second end is movable by a user input between the locked position and an unlocked position;
- wherein the tray is movable in an axial direction relative to the case between the open position and the closed position;
- wherein a mechanical stop prevents the tray from moving from the closed position to the open position when the tray is in the locked position and wherein the tray is movable to the unlocked position to remove the mechanical stop and allow movement of the tray from the closed position to the open position;
- and
- an interior support surface located in the case and configured to prevent downward motion of a portion of the tray when the tray is moved from the locked position to the unlocked position, wherein the interior support surface biases the portion of the tray toward the locked position in the absence of the user input moving the tray from the locked position to the unlocked position.
