Embodiment Construction

[0017] As required, detailed embodiments of the invention are disclosed herein. It must be pointed out that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary examples of the invention, which can be embodied in many different and alternative forms and combinations thereof. The word "exemplary" is used herein to refer generally to an embodiment that is an illustration, example, model or sample. The illustrations are not necessarily to scale and some features may be exaggerated or minimized to show details of particular components. In other instances, well-known components, systems, materials, or methods have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the present invention. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for instructing one skilled in the art to employ the present invention broadly.

[0018] Referring now to the drawings, in which...

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).

Description

[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...
