Benefits of technology

The invention aims to make it difficult for children to open dangerous enclosures by requiring them to use their hands to unlatch the latching device. This system will make it easy for adults but challenging for children to open the enclosure. This helps to prevent accidental exposure to dangerous materials and ensures safety.

Problems solved by technology

The “method”, as a procedure, would be complicated for a child by requiring a dedicated mindset, simultaneously coordinated with the dexterity of two-hands to “unlatch”.
The complexity would be a required “hand resistance” to “unlatch” and open” the enclosure that requires a systematized procedures to perform that would be easy for an adult but difficult for a child.

Embodiment Construction

[0029]Referring now to the drawing, and in particular to FIGS. 1 and 4, in a system according to the present invention, a latch device 12 has a tamper evidence feature, tab that combines with an enclosure 14 so designed to replace present day packaging methodology. The system specifies a commodity of choice that may or may not be dangerous to a child to be packaged within the enclosure to include a box, bag and / or a blister pack that will always, prior to attachment of the latch device, have a tamper evidence feature that is discernable to the end user if the system has been tampered with to gain access to the package therein as an enclosure of choice. In a system according to the present invention, latch device 12 further includes a front portion 16 with a press-here 18, which must be pressed in toward the enclosure and a back portion 20 on the back of the package with a locking head 22 so that latch device 12 must be slid sideways past locking head 22 while press-here 18 is still ...

Abstract

A system of a tamper evidence / child resistant latch device and an enclosure is disclosed. The latching device and the enclosure will remain separate to each other as items that can be “attached” to each other to become as “one item” only when the enclosure such as a bag and / or a blister pack is packaged with a commodity. The system requires “hand-resistance” to break a “seal” to gain access to the commodity. The “seal” aligns with a matching “internal hook” so designed that must be hand-broken to gain access to the commodity. A commodity having a value and not considered as dangerous to a child, can provide new security levels. The system requires the dexterity of two hands, as a “capacity” belonging to an adult, but would be difficult for a child.

(b) CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS(c) STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT. Not Applicable(d) INCORPORATION-BY-REFERENCE OF MATERIAL SUBMITTED ON A COMPACT DISC. Not Applicable(e) BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]This invention relates to the field of packaging methodology that specifies a “latching device” associated with an “enclosure” such as bags, boxes and / or blister packs for packaging commodities determined or classified as dangerous to a child as specified or required by regulatory authorities requiring “Child-Resistant” Packaging.2. Description of Related Art[0002]There is a problem for those who manufacture, cultivate and / or distribute commodities requiring child-resistant packaging to comply with state and / or federal regulatory codes. When choosing an enclosure such as a bag, box and / or a blister pack, regardless of choice, the choices becomes very difficult to identify from the many types of enclosures availabl...
