AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a child-proof container that has a housing with a sliding tray inside it that can be opened and closed. The housing has a locking mechanism and the tray has a matching mechanism that engages with the housing to secure the tray in place when closed. The housing also has a flexible section that disengages the tray's locking mechanism from the housing's locking mechanism when pulled. This makes the container easier to open and close.

Problems solved by technology

Child resistant containers often have complex mechanisms to operate.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]The present disclosure is directed to various embodiments of a child-resistant container including an outer housing and an inner receptacle slidably received in the outer housing. The inner receptacle is configured to slide relative to the outer housing between a closed position in which the inner receptacle is fully inserted into an inner cavity of the outer housing and an open position in which at least a portion of the inner receptacle extends out of the inner cavity of the outer housing. In the open position, a user may retrieve the contents contained in the inner receptacle. In one or more embodiments, the inner receptacle and the outer housing include corresponding releasable locking members for retaining the inner receptacle in the closed position. Additionally, in one or more embodiments, the outer housing includes one or more release mechanisms which, when engaged by a user, disengage the releasable locking members from each other and allow the inner receptacle to be ...
