Abstract
A child proof container includes an outer shell defining an opening. An internal cartridge defines first and second storage cavities. The internal cartridge is slidable within the outer shell between an inserted position and a withdrawn position. A first cover is hingedly attached to the internal cartridge by a first hinge. The first cover pivots about the first hinge between a closed position for covering the first storage cavity and an open position for providing access to the first storage cavity. The first cover is attached to the internal cartridge such that the first cover cannot pivot to the open position until the internal cartridge is in the withdrawn position.
Claims16
A child proof container comprising:
- an outer shell defining an opening;
- an internal cartridge defining first and second storage cavities, the internal cartridge slidable within the outer shell between an inserted position and a withdrawn position;
- a first cover hingedly attached to the internal cartridge by a first hinge, the first cover pivoting about the first hinge between a closed position for covering the first storage cavity and an open position for providing access to the first storage cavity, the first cover being attached to the internal cartridge such that the first cover cannot pivot to the open position until the internal cartridge is in the withdrawn position;
- and
- wherein only a portion of the first cover is received in the outer shell when the first cover is in the closed position and the internal cartridge is in the inserted position, the first cover and outer shell configured to prevent entirely inserting the first cover into the outer shell.
A child proof container comprising:
- an outer shell defining an opening;
- an internal cartridge defining first and second storage cavities, the internal cartridge slidable within the outer shell between an inserted position and a withdrawn position;
- a first cover hingedly attached to the internal cartridge by a first hinge, the first cover pivoting about the first hinge between a closed position for covering the first storage cavity and an open position for providing access to the first storage cavity, the first cover being attached to the internal cartridge such that the first cover cannot pivot to the open position until the internal cartridge is in the withdrawn position;
- and
- a second cover hingedly attached to the internal cartridge by a second hinge, the second cover pivoting between a closed position and an open position about the second hinge, the open position providing greater access to the second storage cavity than the closed position, the second cover being attached to the internal cartridge such that the second cover cannot pivot to the open position until the internal cartridge is in the withdrawn position.
A child proof container comprising:
- an outer shell defining an opening;
- an internal cartridge defining first and second storage cavities, the internal cartridge slidable within the outer shell between an inserted position and a withdrawn position;
- a first cover hingedly attached to the internal cartridge by a first hinge, the first cover pivoting about the first hinge between a closed position for covering the first storage cavity and an open position for providing access to the first storage cavity, the first cover being attached to the internal cartridge such that the first cover cannot pivot to the open position until the internal cartridge is in the withdrawn position;
- wherein the internal cartridge is slidable within the outer shell along a sliding axis, the first hinge being substantially perpendicular to the sliding axis;
- and
- wherein the internal cartridge includes a bottom and a peripheral wall extending outward from an inner side of the bottom, the internal wall extending outward from the inner side of the bottom, the peripheral wall having a step separating a shorter wall portion of the peripheral wall from a taller wall portion of the peripheral wall, the first cover having a top surface, the top surface aligning with a top of the taller wall portion, a bottom side of the first cover abutting a top of the shorter wall portion.
