Abstract
A child resistant tablet product dispenser provides a container with a lid. The lid may be rotated along a first path in a first configuration which does not permit alignment of a window in the lid with a slot in the container. Upon activation of a latch mechanism, the lid can be moved vertically to permit rotation along a second path where the window and the slot align sufficiently to discharge product from the container.
Claims20
A tablet product dispenser comprising:
- a cylindrical container having a slot towards an upper end of the container;
- a lid operably coupled to the container at the upper end of the container, said lid having a window;
- a first configuration wherein said lid is rotatable about a first path relative to lid without permitting the window to align with the slot, at least in part by having a portion of the lid as prevented by a first stop on the lid contacting a second stop of a latch mechanism while in the first path rotating in a first direction, and the lid is restrained to move in the first path when in the first configuration;
- and
- wherein upon operation of the latch mechanism transitioning the dispenser to a second configuration, the second stop is displaced relative to the first stop thereby permitting movement of the lid relative to the container including the vertical displacement of the lid to rotate about a second path in the first direction, said second path spaced apart from the first path, wherein when rotated to a sufficient degree about the second path, the window of the lid aligns sufficiently with the slot permitting dispensing of product from the dispenser in a dispense configuration.
