Benefits of technology

[0006]It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a child resistant package which prevents removal of the dispensing member from the sleeve.
[0007]According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for dispensing a controlled quantity of a product comprising a housing, a dispensing member having a dispensing cavity formed therein, the dispensing member being movable from a first position wherein the dispensing cavity is rendered inaccessible within the housing and a second dispensing position wherein the dispensing cavity is exterior of the housing to permit dispensing of a product therefrom, a single locking means to lock the dispensing member within the housing and second locking means to prevent the dispensing member from being pushed rearwardly from the housing, the second locking means comprising first and second locking members extending outwardly from the dispensing member to engage the housing, the first and second locking members being arranged such that pressure on one of the locking members to release the same results in a tighter engagement of the other of the locking members with the housing.
[0008]The package of the present invention simplifies the previously mentioned package in that the side locks are removed thus making for easier operation of the dispensing feature without affecting the child resistant nature of the package.

Problems solved by technology

This is frequently a problem in that one of the primary groups of medicant users are the elderly, and packaging which relies on the user having a certain amount of strength to open the packages is often self-defeating in that the elderly find it difficult or impossible to open such packaging.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]Referring to the drawings in greater detail and by reference characters thereto, the device of the present invention includes a housing as may be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 in which housing is generally designated by reference numeral 10.

[0020]Housing 10 is in the form of a sleeve and has a pair of opposed sidewalls 12, 14, a front wall 16, a bottom wall 18, and a top wall 20. At its rear, housing 10 does not have a wall, but rather is open ended. It will be noted that both front wall 16 and bottom wall 18 tapered inwardly at the rear open end to form a V-shaped notch generally designated by reference numeral 22.

[0021]In top wall 20, there is provided a top wall aperture 24 for reasons which will become apparent hereinbelow. Front wall 16 also includes a front wall aperture 26. In this regard, it will be noted that there are provided a pair of recesses 28 and 30 at the side edges of front wall aperture 26.

[0022]The device also includes a dispensing member which is generally designa...

Abstract

A device for dispensing a controlled quantity of a product comprising a housing having a dispensing member movable therein, a dispensing cavity being extendable exteriorly of the housing to permit dispensing of a single unit, a single locking device to lock the dispensing member within the housing, and a second locking arrangement to prevent the dispensing member from being pushed rewardly from the housing, the second locking arrangement comprising first and second locking members which extend outwardly form the dispensing member to engage the housing, the first and second locking members being arrangement such that pressure on one of the locking members to release the same result in a tighter engagement of the other of the locking members with housing.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to containers, and more particularly, relates to a child resistant container packaging.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The use of child-resistant packaging is well known in the art and is utilized for many different types of goods. Primarily, this type of packaging is used for those products which represent a potential hazard in the hands of children—i.e. medicants and the like. The approach adopted for the child resistant packaging usually depends upon the product per se—i.e. its size, format, etc. Thus, for example, in the field of medicines many different types of pill containers have locking tops. These locking tops can only be released by performing a manoeuver while turning the top. Generally, one may be required to either depress or lift the top while turning in order to disengage various locking mechanisms. Similarly, it is known in the art to package tablets in different types of blister packages which are designed ...
