Container with security lock

Abstract

A container with a security lock is provided. The container may have a lid (or “top”) portion and a bottom portion. The lid portion may have an exterior cover and a bottom ring which are separated by a compression spring. Once extended protrusions on both the exterior cover and bottom ring of the lid are vertically aligned, a specific pressing and then twisting motion must be used to separate the lid from the bottom portion to gain access to the interior of the container. The bottom portion may receive contents such as medication which may be securely stored and protected from children who might otherwise access an unprotected and unsecured container.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]A container with a security lock is provided. The container may have a lid (or “top”) portion and a bottom portion. The lid portion may have an exterior cover and a bottom ring which are separated by a compression spring. Once extended protrusions on both the exterior cover and bottom ring of the lid are vertically aligned, a specific pressing and then twisting motion must be used to separate the lid from the bottom portion to gain access to the interior of the container. The bottom portion may receive contents such as medication which may be securely stored and protected from children who might otherwise access an unprotected and unsecured container.[0002]Containers with security locks are known. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 9,481,496 to Cottle discloses a child resistant container for nicotine products. The container comprises latching elements adapted to interlock with cooperating latching elements when said lid is pushed onto a said base to retain ...

Benefits of technology

[0006]A container with a security lock is provided. The container may have a lid (or “top”) portion and a bottom portion. The lid portion may have an exterior cover and a bottom ring which are separated by a compression spring. Once extended protrusions on both the exterior cover and bottom ring of the lid are vertically aligned, a specific pressing and then twisting motion must be used to separate the lid from the bottom portion to gain access to the interior of the container. The bottom portion may receive contents such as medication which may be securely stored and protected from children who might otherwise access an unprotected and unsecured container.

[0007]An advantage of the present child resistant storage container is that the present child resistant storage container is suitable for seniors which typically have difficulty opening typical child resistant containers.

[0008]And another advantage of the present child resistant storage container is that the present container keeps the contents of the container secure and dry in a moisture-resistant manner.

[0009]Still another advantage of the present child resistant storage container is that the present container lacks exterior sharp edges and corners which may otherwise injure someone.

Problems solved by technology

However, these patents fail to describe a container with a security lock which is easy to use.

Further, these patents fail to provide for a container with a security lock which allows a user to unlock a child-resistant container in a simple and safe manner.
