Abstract

A container (100) includes an improved lock and release mechanism for securing a top structure (S1) to a base structure (S2). The base structure (S2) and top structure (S1) are releasably secured together as a protrusion (156), which extends from a front wall (130), and a groove (164), which is disposed in a flexible portion (158) of a front wall (140), engage one another. The container (100) further includes protrusions (152) and recesses (150) that align the top and base structures (S1 , S2) and constrain the movement of the top and base structures (S1 , S2) relative to one another in a sliding plane such that the lock and release mechanism is not inadvertently released. The flexible portion (158) of the front wall (140) can be displaced to disengage the locking elements (156, 164).

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications

[0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 60 / 716,677, filed September 13, 2005, which application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field

[0003] The present invention relates generally to a container, and more particularly to a container incorporating a locking and release mechanism. Background technique

[0004] Containers with lock and release mechanisms are suitable for many applications. The lock and release mechanism keeps the closed container locked until the release mechanism is triggered to open the container. Accordingly, such containers provide child protection or do not accidentally open to allow access to the contents of the container.

[0005] Many previous lock and release mechanisms have been overly complex, requiring many parts and / or difficult manufacturing processes. The additional costs associated with such a locking and releasing mechanism c...
