Abstract
Disclosed herein are child-resistant containers. Also disclosed are methods using the modular containers and methods of storing substances in containers. The containers have a glass base and a plastic cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the cap from base with a squeeze and lift sequence on the sides of the cap. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container cap, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The containers are modular and stackable.
Claims29
A child-resistant container comprising:
- a substantially symmetrical container base comprising:
- a closed bottom end;
- an open top end;
- a first cap engagement mechanism on a first side of the container base;
- and
- a second cap engagement mechanism on a second side of the container base opposite the first cap engagement mechanism;
- wherein each of the first cap engagement mechanism and the second cap engagement mechanism comprise:
- a pair of ramps each extending from the open top end to a transfer neck arranged on the container base, the ramps having rounded ends to provide guidance and alignment with a container cap on the container base;
- and
- a ridge substantially parallel to the open top end, the ridge connecting the pair of ramps for locking the container cap to the container base, and
- wherein the pair of ramps and the ridge form an H-shaped configuration.
A child-resistant container comprising:
- a substantially square glass container base comprising a closed bottom end, an open top end, a first cap engagement mechanism positioned on a first side of the container base, and a second cap engagement mechanism positioned on a second side of the container base, wherein each of the first cap engagement mechanism and the second cap engagement mechanism comprise:
- a pair of ramps each extending from the open top end to a transfer neck arranged on the container base, the ramps having rounded ends to provide guidance and alignment with a container cap on the container base;
- and a ridge substantially parallel to the open top end, the ridge connecting the pair of ramps for locking the container cap to the container base, and wherein the pair of ramps and the ridge form an H-shaped configuration;
- and
- the container cap sized and configured to mate with the container base.
A child-resistant glass container comprising:
- a substantially symmetrical container base comprising:
- a foot having a closed bottom end;
- a neck having an open top end;
- a first cap engagement mechanism positioned on a first side of the neck;
- and
- a second cap engagement mechanism positioned on a second side of the neck opposite from the first cap engagement mechanism;
- wherein each of the first cap engagement mechanism and the second cap engagement mechanism comprise:
- a plurality of ramps substantially perpendicular to the open top end, each of the ramps extending from the open top end to a transfer neck arranged on the container base, the ramps having rounded ends to provide guidance and alignment with a container cap on the container base;
- and
- a ridge substantially perpendicular to and disposed between the plurality of ramps, the ridge being substantially parallel to the open top end, and the ridge connecting the pair of ramps for locking the container cap to the container base, and
- wherein the plurality of ramps and the ridge form an H-shaped configuration.
