Abstract
A nicotine pouch container and a method for opening. The nicotine pouch container comprising a body and a lid. The lid is configured to rotatably engage the body. The lid further comprises a lid frame, a top wall, a flexible member and a locking rim. The flexible member is configured to engage with the locking rim to keep the lid closed. A first surface of the flexible member is configured to engage with a corresponding first surface of the locking rim when initiating opening of the lid. The body comprises a bottom wall and a side wall defining an interior. The side wall comprises a protruding member along a portion of a perimeter of the side wall. The protruding member defines an interruption with a width corresponding to at least a width of the flexible member. The interruption is configured to allow inwardly motion of the flexible member into the interruption. The configuration of the interruption is such that when the flexible member is rotationally aligned with the interruption, the flexible member is enabled to flex inwards into the interruption enough to disengage from the locking rim. The nicotine pouch container prevents inappropriate users to open the nicotine pouch container and reach the nicotine containing content.
