The first housing includes a first portion of a double lock securement including a recess and a protuberance adjacent to the recess. The second housing includes a second portion of the double lock securement including at least one recess. At least one of the first or second housing components additionally includes a protuberance. The protuberance of the first housing can be configured to releasably lock with the at least one recess of the second housing.
Claims20
A container assembly, comprising:
- (a) a first housing, wherein the first housing includes a first portion of a double lock securement including a first recess and a first protuberance, wherein the first protuberance is adjacent to the first recess such that the first protuberance is positioned directly against the first recess;
- and
- (b) a second housing, wherein the second housing includes a second portion of the double lock securement including at least one second recess;
- wherein the first protuberance of the first housing is configured to releasably lock with the at least one second recess of the second housing,
- wherein the at least one second recess of the second portion of the double lock securement includes an active recess and a passive recess,
- wherein the active recess is configured to releasably lock with the first protuberance of the first housing, and
- wherein the passive recess is configured to not releasably lock with the first protuberance of the first housing.
A method of assembling a container assembly, comprising:
- (a) selecting a first lid housing comprising a first portion of a double lock securement including a first recess and a first protuberance adjacent to the first recess;
- (b) selecting a second lid housing comprising a second portion of a double lock securement including a second recess and a second protuberance adjacent to the second recess;
- (c) flipping the first lid housing upside-down relative to the second lid housing such that the first portion of the double lock securement overlaps with the second portion of the double lock securement;
- and
- (d) releasably locking the first protuberance of first lid housing with the second recess of the second lid housing and releasably locking the second protuberance of the second lid housing with the first recess of the first lid housing thereby at least partially assembling the container assembly.
A container assembly, comprising:
- (a) a first lid housing, wherein the first lid housing includes a first recess and a first protuberance adjacent to the first recess;
- (b) a base housing, wherein the base housing includes an active recess;
- and
- (c) a second lid housing, wherein the second lid housing includes a second recess and a second protuberance adjacent to the second recess
- wherein the first protuberance of the first lid housing is configured to releasably lock with the active recess of the base housing,
- wherein a bottom of the second recess of the second lid housing is configured to releasably lock with the active recess of the base housing, and
- wherein the second protuberance of the second lid housing is configured to releasably lock with the first recess of the first lid housing while the first protuberance of the first lid housing releasably locks with the second recess of the second lid housing.
