Benefits of technology
The patent describes a device with a tongue and groove mechanism that can be locked together to secure a container. The device has couplers that can connect or disconnect the components. The couplers can also indicate that the container is fully closed. The technical effects of this invention include improved security and ease of use, with a distinct and audible or mechanical signal when the container is closed.
Problems solved by technology
In some cases, people do not want containers to be easily opened by children or unauthorized individuals when the containers carry a substance that is harmful, controlled, dangerous, or costly.
Casual consumption can be dangerous if consumed to excess or without proper administration.
The special packaging requirements under the PPPA are directed towards designing packaging to make it significantly difficult for children under five years old to open the packaging or obtain a toxic or harmful amount of the substance therein within a reasonable amount of time.
The PPPA requirements do not dictate that the packaging should be designed such that 100 percent of children cannot open the packaging or obtain a toxic or hazardous amount within a reasonable time.
However, this document does not disclose a lid fitted for a top of a container without the costly metal plate for preventing child access to container.

Embodiment Construction
[0046]The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
[0047]Although the invention is often referred to herein as an apparatus and method for restricting child access to containers, it is understood that such description is not limiting, such that the technology in this invention may be applied in numerous other products and methods, including but not limited to, beverage containers, non-metallic containers, and similar structures.
[0048]The container of the invention cannot be easily opened in a conventional manner by a child, yet is easily opened by an adult, especially senior adults, or disabled adults. Another advantage is protecting the container contents from exposure or leakage.
[0049]In at least one e...

The present invention may comprise a container, with a container body, a closed base, an open top, an exterior, and a cap assembly designed to couple to the container body for closing the container. A cap assembly may include an inner cap configured to couple to a container body and an outer cap coupled to the inner cap. A first coupler may be coupled to the inner cap and a second coupler may be coupled to the outer cap and designed to optionally engage the first coupler. An outer cap may be designed to rotate relative to an inner cap if the outer cap is in one or more positions and to engage the inner cap when the outer cap is in one or more other positions.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 983,532, filed on Feb. 28, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The disclosure relates generally to child-resistant containers. More specifically, the disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for preventing child access to a container, such as a medication container.[0003]A container may be configured for a user to apply pressure, which may include unidirectional or bidirectional (e.g., opposing) pressure, to the top and / or bottom of the device to engage features of the container.[0004]Substances have been stored, distributed, and sold in various types of containers. One type of container is known as a pillbox, often with a flip-top opening for manual breaking of a seal or otherwise clear an opening for pouring and consuming the contents.[0005]In some cases, people do not want containers to be eas...
