Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a container assembly including a multi-chamber container that fits within a protective outer sleeve. The container includes covers for allowing the chambers to be individually accessed. The container includes an integrated retention arrangement that allows the container to be secured within the outer sleeve in a manner in which unintended longitudinal movement between the outer sleeve and the container is prevented.
Claims21
A container assembly comprising:
- a container including a first container end and a second container end, the container including a container length that extends between the first and second container ends, the container defining storage compartments positioned in a row along the container length between the first and second container ends, the container also including a plurality of covers for covering the storage compartments and for allowing the storage compartments to be individually opened, the container further including retention tabs respectively carried with the first and second container ends, the retention tabs each being pivotally moveable relative to their respective first and second container end between a retention position and a release position, the container including latching arrangements for securing the retention tabs in the retention positions relative to the first and second container ends;
- and
- an outer sleeve configured to slide lengthwise over an exterior of the container, the outer sleeve including first and second sleeve ends, the outer sleeve being positionable over the container in an installed state in which the first sleeve end is at the first container end and the second sleeve end is at the second container end, wherein the retention tabs are configured such that when the outer sleeve is in the installed state and the retention tabs are secured in the retention positions, retention portions of the retention tabs oppose the first and second sleeve ends to limit axial movement of the container relative to the outer sleeve.
