Abstract
Novel lockable safe containers for dispensing valuable, dangerous and potentially dangerous goods via a main opening that is easy for adults to open and difficult for children to open, using a finger pressure on a sliding closure with a deflectable extension operable by finger pressure to enable. The novel safe containers have many additional advantages including human factors, ergonomics, manufacturing, supply chain and distribution, warehousing, retail, tamper resistance advantages, and labeling. The slidable closure exits the main opening zone via an auxiliary opening but wholly without exiting the container in normal usage.
Claims21
A container for solid articles, fluids, or other contents with safe closure comprising:
- a container with a main opening for access to contents having main and having at least one auxiliary opening,
- at least one sliding closure for blocking the main opening with an inner surface relative to the container interior and an opposite outer surface, slidingly translatable through an auxiliary opening in the container to clear the main opening partially or completely and slidingly translatable hack to re-blocking the main opening.
A container for solid articles, fluids, or other contents with safe closure comprising:
- a container with a main opening for access to contents having main and auxiliary openings,
- at least one sliding closure for the main opening with an inner surface relative to the container interior and an opposite outer surface, slidingly translatable through the auxiliary opening in the container to clear the main opening partially or completely and slidingly translatable back to reclose the main opening.
- a depressible extension of the closure of cantilever form with a proximal end fixed on an outer surface of the closure and an unfixed free distal end
- the depressible extension of the closure constructed and arranged so that depressing the extension enables sliding closure movement through the auxiliary opening
- one or more buttons on the sliding closure to prevent the sliding closure from wholly escaping the container via the auxiliary opening in normal use, and
- two spaced buttons provided on the outer surface of the sliding closure and configured to be stopped by a container wall structure near the auxiliary opening, but adjustable selectively but not in normal usage of main opening uncovering and covering, to clear the auxiliary opening for full removal of the closure from the container.
