215206000 | Having registerable indicia to facilitate closure removal | 13 |
20090255896 | Rotate, squeeze and lift child resistant safety cap - A squeeze and lift child resistant safety closure for attachment to a container having a conventional container closure on its top includes: an inner member for attachment to either the container or its closure, the inner member having an outer member interlocking component, being one of a circular track and a circular rail, the circular track having inside and outside ledges with a track space between the inside and outside ledges, the track space having a predetermined track space width, the circular rail having inside and outside protrusions adapted to ride inside the track space and under the ledges, the protrusions having widths less than the track space width and greater than one half the track space width; and an outer member being an outer closure having a circular bottom that is semi-flexible, and at its circular bottom, having the other of the one of a circular track and a circular rail. When the inner member is attached to a container under its conventional closure and the inner member and the outer member are interconnected, access to the convention closure is denied. However, if a user squeezes the outer member at the squeeze indicia to flex the outer member from circular to oval, the outer member can be removed to expose the conventional container closure for normal opening. | 10-15-2009 |
20110174758 | Safety Stopper - Intended to prevent the contents of a bottle from being consumed by unauthorised people, both in the case of alcoholic beverages and other hazardous liquids, it consists of a cap itself ( | 07-21-2011 |
20120325768 | CHILD-RESISTANT CAP AND CONTAINER ASSEMBLY - A cap includes a top wall, an outer peripheral edge, a first section, and a second section. A skirt depends from the outer peripheral edge. The skirt includes an attached end, a free end, a plurality of slots, and a plurality of apertures. Each aperture is spaced-apart from the free end of the skirt. The top wall has a first configuration and a second configuration. When the top wall is in the first configuration, the first section is generally planer and the second section is generally arcuate. When the top wall is in the first configuration, the skirt extends generally perpendicularly to the first section to generally engage at least a portion of a container. When the top wall is in the second configuration, the free end of the skirt extends radially outwardly from the attached end thereof to allow the cap to be removed from the container. | 12-27-2012 |
20130043204 | LOCKABLE CAP FOR A BOTTLE - A lockable cap, is a security feature for a medical prescription bottle. There is a dial locking mechanism that is attached to the cap. The dial locking mechanism and the cap can be attached or removed from the bottle only when the user has the correct combination on the dial lock. When the combination is incorrect a mechanism, including a dog plate within a housing, is disengaged and the inner cap cannot be removed from the bottle. | 02-21-2013 |
20130062303 | CONTAINER HAVING A PROGRAMMABLE COMBINATION LOCKING CAP - Disclosed is a bottle having a programmable combination locking cap. The locking cap has an upper cap, which locks onto a canister. The locking cap has various layers of rings so that the rings can be aligned in a combination code in order to remove the locked cap from the canister. | 03-14-2013 |
20130341298 | BOTTLE LOCK - A bottle lock for securely sealing a container, the bottle lock including a housing, a combination ring assembly, a shaft, a bottom locking ring, and a stopper. The bottle lock can then be inserted into a container opening and the shaft rotated until the stopper exerts the desired pressure against the container opening. The combination rings are then rotated to lock the device. The remove the bottle lock, the combination rings are realigned, the housing removed and the shaft then rotated in the reverse direction, releasing the pressure on the container opening. | 12-26-2013 |
20140175041 | Lockable Cap for Medical Prescription Bottle - A lockable cap, is a security feature for a medical prescription bottle. There is a three dial locking mechanism that is attached to the cap and the dial locking mechanism and the cap can be attached or removed from the bottle only when the user has the correct combination on the dial lock. | 06-26-2014 |
20140332491 | BOTTLE ASSEMBLY - A bottle assembly is disclosed having a container component and a lid assembly. The lid assembly includes an outer lid and an inner lid that are aligned with each other and with a rim section of the bottle assembly in order to be removed. The bottle assembly advantageously provides that no complex threading, ratcheting mechanism or push tabs are required to provide locking functionality while still providing beneficial child-resistant safety features. | 11-13-2014 |
20140360969 | Locking medicine container - One component or embodiment of a locking medical container is the quality of the material used. The sterile non-chemically reactive polypropylene container is suitable for most medical applications. The lock and all its components are made strong to secure the medications from all but the prescribed user. This is done by using a structural method that joins the parts in such a manner as to produce a solid locking unit. The snap in capability of some of the parts used remove manufacture difficulties that are found in other locking devices. This unit when completed is sealed, sterile and very strong. The user simply rotates the tumbler and removes the cavity obstruction to gain access to the contents of the container. | 12-11-2014 |
20150014269 | SENIOR FRIENDLY CHILD RESISTANT CLOSURE - A child-resistant closure for a container having an externally threaded neck finish includes an assembly of an inner cap and an outer shell. The inner cap includes internal threads for engaging the externally threaded neck finish of the container. The inner cap and outer shell include mutually engageable stops to allow closing rotation of the closure relative to the container and prohibit opening rotation of the closure relative to the container. The inner cap and outer shell also include mating components that, when aligned and engaged, will allow opening rotation of the closure relative to the container when a compressive force is applied to a flexible area on the outer shell. | 01-15-2015 |
20160083157 | LOCKABLE CAP FOR A BOTTLE - A lockable cap, is a security feature for a medical prescription bottle. There is a dial locking mechanism that is attached to the cap. The dial locking mechanism and the cap can be attached or removed from the bottle only when the user has the correct combination on the dial lock. When the combination is incorrect a mechanism, including a dog plate within a housing, is disengaged and the inner cap cannot be removed from the bottle. The housing has pieces that snap together for a tamper proof connection between the inner components and the housing. The dog plate has a flat circular set of gear teeth, each of which allows for a single point of contact to exert enough tension to apply and remove the cap. These teeth are set away from a side wall with a gap that allows the dog plate to spin freely within the housing. Above the dog plate is the dial lock including a set of dial lock wheels containing both numeric cogs and standard cams each having one flat secant section. The cams are spring held into the numeric cogs. The flat sections on the cams work in unison with each other. Only when all the flat sections of the cams line up will the unit become unlocked. | 03-24-2016 |
20160130050 | Child Resistant Tube - A container for small objects, including medical and pharmaceutical products. The container has a body that is closable in a secure fashion by a cap. The cap includes a movable locking tab for engaging with an opening in the body and protrusion for engaging a slot or channel formed in the body. Removal of the cap from the body requires pushing the tab as well as twisting the cap before pulling the cap from the body. | 05-12-2016 |
20160185497 | LOCKABLE CAP FOR MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE - A lockable cap, is a security feature for a medical prescription bottle. There is a three dial locking mechanism that is attached to the cap and the dial locking mechanism and the cap can be attached or removed from the bottle only when the user has the correct combination on the dial lock. | 06-30-2016 |
