Embodiment Construction

[0036]FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention. The container 10 includes a body 11 and a cap 12. The body 11 is substantially cylindrical in shape and has an open end 13 and a closed end 14. The cap 12 is sized to close the open end 13. In the embodiment shown, the body 11 is almost entirely a cylindrical tube, but in other embodiments the body has other shapes. For example, in some embodiments, only the portion of the body 11 near the open end 13 is cylindrical.

[0037]The body 11 has associated with it a longitudinal axis 17. The axis 17 is the center axis of the cylinder that forms the body 13 or is the center axis of the cylinder associated with the cylindrical portion of the body 13. In the embodiment shown, the cap 12 also has a round cross section and the axis 17 would pass through the radial center of the cap 12 when it is aligned with the open end 13 of the body 11.

[0038]The body 11 also includes a slot 15 formed at the open end 13 and an opening 16 adjacent to the s...

Abstract

A container for small objects, including medical and pharmaceutical products. The container has a body that is closable in a secure fashion by a cap. The cap includes a movable locking tab for engaging with an opening in the body and protrusion for engaging a slot or channel formed in the body. Removal of the cap from the body requires pushing the tab as well as twisting the cap before pulling the cap from the body.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to a container. In particular, the invention relates to child resistant (“CR”) containers for small objects.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]It is well known that the storage of various types of small objects must sometimes be accomplished in a manner that prevents children from obtaining and handling the objects. An obvious example of such small objects is pharmaceutical pills and capsules. Various government regulatory bodies throughout the world require pharmaceutical manufacturers to package their products in CR packages. An example of such a regulatory body is the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which has historically regulated CR packaging in the United States. Various other organizations provide design and manufacturing standards for compliant CR packaging. One example of such an organization is the American Society for Testing and Materials (“ASTM”), which has created the ASTM D3475 Standard Classification for Child...
