Apparatus and method for a child-resistant oral nicotine can

A child-resistant can comprising:

• a base comprising:
• a bottom plate;
• a base circumferential wall surrounding and extending from the bottom plate,
• the bottom plate and the base circumferential wall defining an interior surface and an opposing exterior surface,
• the base circumferential wall comprising two base projections extending inward from the interior surface;
• and
• two snap-fit connectors, each snap-fit connector comprising an upper portion, a lower actuator portion, and a horizontal rotational axis disposed between the upper portion and the lower actuator portion;
• and
• a lid configured to enclose the interior surface, the lid comprising:
• a top plate;
• and
• a lid circumferential wall extending from the top plate and configured to abut against the interior surface of the base circumferential wall, the lid circumferential wall comprising:
• two indents, each indent being configured to receive and engage with the upper portion of one of the corresponding snap-fit connectors;
• and
• two lid projections each being vertically aligned with one of the indents,
• wherein each of the base projections are configured to abut against an upper surface of the corresponding lid projection when the lid is coupled to the base,
• wherein the snap-fit connectors are configured to rotate around the rotational axis when pressure is applied to the actuator portion, such that the upper portion disengages from the corresponding indent, and
• wherein the rotational axis comprises a pin around which the actuator portion and the upper portion are configured to rotate.
